Custom fields, code error in productdetails/default.php

Hi,

I am reporting some code misconfiguration in template. It took me several hours of research to find out where the problem was.

WHAT DID NOT WORK?

After migrating to VM 3 and J3, custom fields didn't work properly. I had set up custom fields for products variants (shirt dimensions S,L,XL). The problem was, that this data were "lost", when a purchase was made ... Shirts dimensions weren't visible on CHECKOUT, nor ORDERs (in backend), nor ADMIN & SHOPPER emails. This was a huge problem, because we had to call each customer back to ask which type of shirt was ordered.

SOLUTION

1) I had to modify Custom fields -> LAYOUT POSITION to "addtocart" (before "ontop").
2) I also had to modify some code in mytemplate/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php:
- around line 274 I omitted entire <div class="addtocart-area"> --> this part in template did not work OK.
- after this div I entered this code: <?php echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('addtocart',array('product'=>$this->product)); ?> which I think calls the proper <div class="addtocart-area"> in VM sublayouts folder.

Hope it help others!

Best regards
