link picture to product details in category view

Maybe other forum users already have found the solution ?

I would like to make clicking on product picture to open product details in category view, not the lightbox.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

This should be done it VM style. Please send me FTP access and show an example page.

Hi

Done. To make this I had to edit file /templates/gk_esport/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php line 196:

Code: Select all

echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage" border="0" title="'.$product->product_name.'" ',true,'class="modal"');


to

Code: Select all

echo '<a href="' . $product->link . '" title="' . $product->product_name . '"><img src="' . $product->images[0]->file_url_thumb . '" alt="' . $product->product_name . '" /></a>';


Thanks!

Hi

Glad I could help.

Hi, teitbite,

Since I lose these changes every time I update the template and overwrite com_virtuemart folder...

Can I follow a topic?
or mark it so that I can easily find the changes that I will need to remake after each update ...

Sorry my google english ok!

Tks

Hi

That's odd. I've made this modification in /templates/gk_esport/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php which is a template's override for VM and VM update will not affect that. Are You sure it hasn't dissapeared after template update after all ?

I think I'm doing wrong then ... I updated the VM by the component, and then downloaded the latest version of the template (2.8.2) and replaced the entire folder "com_virtuemart"

The procedure is wrong?

Hi

No it's me who's wrong. I forgot that VM style needs to be updated in template

So Yes You need to make the same change again. I believe I've described it good, but if You'll have a problem please let me know.

Hello,

it is working with products listed in category view. But if categories are listed in the same way as products (if menu has more than one level) the image is not active.

You can look here what I mean : http://prezervatyvai.lt/lubrikantai

What file and how to change it, that clicking on item opens it.

Thanks.

Hi

I cannot remember how many times I've been explaining how to make it Unfortunately it's not an easy process. Let try a new approach. Try with adding this to css:

Code: Select all

h2.catSub {
    height: 30px;
    overflow: visible;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 10;
}

.category-view .row .category .spacer h2 a {
    height: 155px;
}


It basicaly covers an image with the above link to category.

Thanks.

I think this behavior should be by default.

Hi

Unfortunately this code is not what I would call "clean solution". It's more of a trick to force linking. There is a lot of issues it may bring, but will suit well to Your website.
