Hi there, I am trying to modify this template with virtuemart and I have not really used VM before. What I am trying to do is replicate the attached layouts. The first file is how I want to replicate the category listing, and the 2nd is the product layout.

I think I would be able to achieve this in K2 as I am more familiar with it and it is much easier to setup but this Storebox template is setup with shopping carts with VMart.

The category feed listing would need to have only a feature list and these headers and with no image but I do not know how to give/put this info only in the category feed and not in the product listing as the informations are somewhat different.

I try and turn off the display image and price in the category setup but it still displays it. The only way I can turn that off is if I go into the PHP file and delete the get info tags for those parts of the category feed.

So if I did do it this way, this would then leave me with trying to display the rest of the info I need in this to look like my attach images but not be displayed in the product page.

Would it be more simple to install K2 store instead or can I achieve this look in Vmart?

Thanks.

VM views are surely much more complex that the K2 ones. Probably you need to overwrite whole product details view but if you know how to make it it will be the same work for K2 or VirtueMart.

Thanks. Do you know what the array callup is for displaying a custom field from VM product field into a category view? I believe I can create a html/edit box to put the data that would normally be a K2 introtext into this part of each product and be displayed only in catergory view (not product view) but I do not know the array to call up for custom fields in category view.

Thanks.

Probably the more details about particular K2 views you can get at K2 support forum because I can't help you with this issue.
