add to cart button in category

Virtuemart 3 now supports add to cart button in category view. How can this be implemented in latest Storefront template ?

When do you plan to release new e-comerce template ?

Thanks.

Hi

I have no idea about releasing plans. It's something developers only knows.

Please send me an access to ftp and an url to the page with category view and I'll see what can be done about add to cart there.

Well this is general question, site is still in development But I see on VM3 feature lists, that now products can be added to the basket from category view. This future was one of the most wanted for many of us... So it would be nice to implement to gavick templates by default.

Thanks.

Hi

I had no idea it was added to VM3, but I remember helping ppl on this forum to add this functionality long time ago. It's not as hard as it sounds. You need to take the add to cart functionality from item layout and copy it to category layout. Please try it and get back to me if You will need help.

Hi,

This is an very actual question for me at this time.

I use the INSTORE template for my website. Is there any chance to tell me where to put what code, please?

Thanks!!

Hi

Do You mean "in_style" template ? Edit file /html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php and replace code:

Code: Select all

               <?php
               /* REMOVE THE COMMENT AND PHP TAGS IF YOU NEED TO DISPLAY PRICES ON THE CATEGORY LISTING
               <div class="catProductPrice" id="productPrice<?php echo $product->virtuemart_product_id ?>">
                  <?php
                  if ($this->show_prices == '1') {
                     if ($product->prices['salesPrice']<=0 and VmConfig::get ('askprice', 1) and  !$product->images[0]->file_is_downloadable) {
                        echo JText::_ ('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ASKPRICE');
                     }
                     echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv ('salesPrice', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_SALESPRICE', $product->prices);
                  } ?>
               </div>
               */
               ?>


with

Code: Select all

               <?php
               <div class="catProductPrice" id="productPrice<?php echo $product->virtuemart_product_id ?>">
                  <?php
                  if ($this->show_prices == '1') {
                     if ($product->prices['salesPrice']<=0 and VmConfig::get ('askprice', 1) and  !$product->images[0]->file_is_downloadable) {
                        echo JText::_ ('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ASKPRICE');
                     }
                     echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv ('salesPrice', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_SALESPRICE', $product->prices);
                  } ?>
               </div>
               ?>


This is for showing the price in category view. I figured that out allready.

But how to show the 'Add to Cart' button in the same view?

Hi

In that case please go to /html/com_virtuemart/category/ and rename this folder to _category.

First I need to check if add to cart is provided for category by Virtuemart and renaming this folder will make site use default Virtuemert files.

Hello, is there any solution about this issue please ?
I ahve already updated to latest storefront and no cart or quantity options are displayed on category view.
Is there any chance this could be fixed ?

Hi

No one got back to me with a result of the test I've asked to do, can You please check if disabling template's override to Virtuemart will make a difference to this issue. To do that please go to /html/com_virtuemart/category/ and rename this folder to _category.

Yes, doing this makes VirtueMart display the Add To Cart buttons and quantity controls in this view.

Hi

Ok. Please send me an access to FTP and url to the example page I'll be bale to see the page You need it to my mail [email protected]

Hi

I'm afraid the FTP access You've send me is not working. Please send a correct one to my e-mail [email protected]

Hi

Ok. Looks to be working now. I've copied a code for cart to /html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

Code: Select all

   <div class="addtocart-area">
      <form method="post" class="product js-recalculate" action="<?php echo JRoute::_ ('index.php?option=com_virtuemart',false); ?>">
         <div class="vm-customfields-wrap">
            <?php
            if(!empty($rowHeights['customfields'])) echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('customfields',array('product'=>$product,'position'=>'addtocart')); ?>
         </div>         
            <?php
            if (!VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog', 0)  ) {
               echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('addtocartbar',array('product'=>$product));
            } ?>
         <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart"/>
         <input type="hidden" name="view" value="cart"/>
         <input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_product_id[]" value="<?php echo $product->virtuemart_product_id ?>"/>
         <input type="hidden" name="pname" value="<?php echo $product->product_name ?>"/>
         <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="<?php echo $product->virtuemart_product_id ?>"/>
         <?php
         $itemId=vRequest::getInt('Itemid',false);
         if($itemId){
            echo '<input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="'.$itemId.'"/>';
         } ?>
      </form>

   </div>
