related products in new window

hello , I have a problem with related products and related categories , if I click on the product I open in a new window , because it does not open the same page ? thank you

Could you please post an url to your site?

send pm

Could you please describe what I need to do and where to click to see this issue (screenshots might be handy)

I can't reproduce the issue on my test machine... Could you please describe how (beside adding related products to a single product) have you enabled related products section?

One more thing that you could verify - please change template back to Beeze or Protostar and let me know if related products still opens in new tab/window.

I changed the template, is the same problem

SOLVED:
maybe components\com_virtuemart\sublayouts\related.php
remove the ,'target'=>'_blank' maybe

echo JHtml::link (JRoute::_ ('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=' . $related->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $related->virtuemart_category_id), $thumb . $related->product_name, array('title' => $related->product_name,'target'=>'_blank'));

I was going to write about that - it seems like it is core VM issue, perhaps you could write on their's support forum with info about this - perhaps they could add a configuration parameter that would decide if an element should open in same or new window.

I had a similar problem with Storefront template v.3.18.1 and VirtueMart 3.0.10. I resolved by editing "/components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/related.php". Look for 'target'=>'_blank' and change to 'target'=>'_self'.
ORIGINAL CODE:

Code: Select all

echo JHtml::link (JRoute::_ ('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=' . $related->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $related->virtuemart_category_id), $thumb   . $related->product_name, array('title' => $related->product_name,'target'=>'_blank'));


CHANGED AS FOLLOWS:

Code: Select all

echo JHtml::link (JRoute::_ ('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=' . $related->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $related->virtuemart_category_id), $thumb   . $related->product_name, array('title' => $related->product_name,'target'=>'_self'));

This worked for me but not sure if there is a better way to do this e.g. in overrides?

use this: array('title' => $related->product_name,'target'=>' '));
