Product image in VM Category Page

Using the Joomla 2.5 template, when you are on a category page within Virtuemart, is there a way that you can click on the thumbnail of a product and not see a pop-up of the image but replace it with a link to the product page instead?

Thanks

Hi

You need to edit /html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php file and change this code in line 202:

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


Thanks. I've changed the code but when I click it doesn't take me to a product page but just the product image in the window, rather than pop-up?
What can I type to go to the VM product page itself.
Thanks

Hi

Please show me the example page with replaced code.

Sorry I can't do this because I'm having to build the site locally using XAMPP.
Can you think of anything else I can try in the meantime?
If worse comes to worst, I'm happy to remove link entirely...
I just don't want a pop up modal image there.
Thanks

Hi

There is no need to remove it, please try replace it with that (without seeing it, I'm guessing so it may be a blind shot):

Code: Select all

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


Thanks teitbite. That new snippet of code has stopped the product images loading in a modal pop up window and now nothing at all happens when you click on them... which is better.
When I've got the site online I'll drop you a line and hopefully we can work out how to make the images link to the product themselves! Thanks

Hi

Yes please let me know when it'll be online, because right now I could just guess the correct code for this.
