Virtuemart products

Hi there,
Working on a site where I show VM products on the front page with News Show Pro GK5. What suprises me is that there is no way... (or I am missing something...) to show the short description text from VM in the lay out of NSP.
I thought I could get it working to add a read more in the main VM article. But I can not disable the intro text in the main VM article. So I have it twice there...
Any thought on this? Am I missing something?

Hi

You are right. NSP does not use short descrption, but You can cut the regular description to a number of chars/words You want and display it instead.

For anyone interested... I found a solution.
I edited file:
mod_news_pro_gk5/data_sources/com_virtuemart/model.php
Line 221

Code: Select all

content.product_desc AS text,

and changed it to:

Code: Select all

content.product_s_desc AS text,

Now it shows the short description underneath the product image. Makes more sense to me...

Hi

Haha, yes. That's correct, but than module will always use it instead of regular description, so I'm only recommending this solution to users who agrees with it. Also please remember that this file will be replaced during module's update.

Yes you are right Teitbite
