related categories/products not showing up

hi there

within VM, i have correctly added related categories and products within the special field section.

unfortunately there's nothing to see even though in the backend i have added some products/categories. (see image) is there another parameter perhaps???

thanx

Hi again,

Can you please check to make sure if it's a problem from our template first?

Thanks,

hi Don/team

unfortunatey this IS template related. i just tried with the Atomic template and the related items/categories line up fine, see image.

what to do now?

anyone? since this is template related... would like some help..

is somebody working on this topic, as i have logged into the site, and the detailed product page is now totally screwed up. haven't changed anything. the detailed product page seems to be from a different template ??? i have tried to address the esport to all items, but can't get it back anymore now..

please help or verify

thanx

Hi

I was asked to join the disscussion, but once again can You please explain what the problem is. I have been to Your website and as told I've clicked into product, but it doesn't looks much different for me http://demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jan2012 ... =9&Itemid=

I'm probably missing something.

hi teitbyte, thank you for joining...

http://demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jan2012 ... =9&Itemid=

this shows related products on the bottom.

my products: for example:
http://www.galaspecialist.nl/component/ ... l?Itemid=0

do NOT show related products on the bottom (and i have related products attached in the backend, special fields section)

i have changed from esport template to the default template, and then they DO show up. so conclusion is that this is template related.

i hope this is somewhat clear now, if not please let me know!

regards

Hi

Ok. Please send me FTP access. I will check or simply replace part of the code responsible for related items from a default VM files.

ftp access details sent (last night).

Hi

Ok. I have removed this file from template and used a default VM file with some addition to css:

Code: Select all

.product-field.product-field-type-Z {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 1%;
    text-align: center;
    width: 32%;
}

.product-field-display a img {
    display: block;
    height: auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 180px;
}


Please check.

GREAT, finally...

thank you, but now my styling is a bit messed up, see image...

this whole block should be one color. and this price label should be either removed completely or have some input ?

hmmm i have re-checked. when i add a background color to the element, the background is added everywhere on the site, which i don't want..

see image below:

1) i need to hide the back-button (because it links to the original VM category, not the NSP overview)
2) the whole price/info box looks a bit off-styled. margins way to big (between price and sales price), is there a fix, or a nice copy and paste css that makes this box look nicer ?

thanx

sorry, one last thing.... those related categories, they all link to the original VM layout... this is too confusing for customers. everything needs to be in the layout of gavick NSP..... is that do-able??

AND.... they can't be deleted! i removed all the related items at product AM10 (red dress) and the related categorie is still being displayed. (big one)

if you click the product, the detailled products are listed as 1 full row, going outside the borders of the site-canvas.....

Hi

Hmmm. That's really odd. But gives only one solution to use Gavick layout and copy only the code for related items. Please give me an hour and I'll try to do this.

let me know when you're finished. just made a backup just in case...

Hi

Have You removed this related products ? I cannot make it show even using the method as before with a VM default view ;///

Hi

Ok. I've informed programmers about this issue explaining what I've tried already. Hope they will find an answer.

almost almost

i did remove them, but now i added 1 item:
http://www.galaspecialist.nl/component/ ... l?Itemid=0

the thing is... when you click this related item, the standard VM layout is displayed, which is not good, because i use the NSP layout throughout the whole site. this standard VM layout is confusing for the buyers.

hi:
you can also add seperate products, which i now have done. check the link again. If we can get those thumbs to be smaller, then i am happy. now the full images are being displayed.......

Hi

Ok. Programmers didn't changed anything just looked and saw related product, so my changed did worked

What do You mean about NSP layout ? You need to use VM in some place to make this component work. There is no other options. But please explain, maby I'm missing something.

almost there...

is there some way to have the images of the related products smaller:
http://www.galaspecialist.nl/component/ ... l?Itemid=0

see image: they are now way to "chunky" for just related items. As if they are part of the product itself. can't find the right parameter though......

without infecting the main layouts of categories, done by NSP (news show pro), since this module is generating all of my product-views within the site..?

also: the related products: also need a way to place the title in the center.

Hi

To center title please use this code:

Code: Select all

.product-related-products > div {
    text-align: center;
}


To set size of the images this one:

Code: Select all

.product-field-display a img {
    width: 80px;
}
