Remove Ask a Question

Not sure if anyone here can help or not? I am still getting to grips with this new views thing in VM and not sure how to do some things. I have the product view and there is this annoying button that when disabled in the VM admin is a waste of time since it does not do what it appears to do.

The Ask a Question about This Product button on the product page needs to go and I though that this would be handled in the template override for it but even after I remove the code it is still there. Is there something new with Joomal 2.5 that will grab the view from both the component and the override?

I may be looking for this in the wrong view? I think it is in the html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php file. Is that correct or should I be looking somewhere else?

Hi

I don't recommend that you change anything on vm files.
If VM doesn't have this option on back end, you can easily add this line on override.css file:

Code: Select all

.gkDetails .ask-a-question {display: none}


Don't forget to enable override.css on template parameters.

BTW your change on core vm file doesn't make any difference because yourShop template uses VM html files.

Cheers

Thanks Seichinha,

This was my lack of understanding and for anyone that is reading this for a solution you have to enable "Using the product Scripts" check box in the template (Activate CSS Styles & Javascripts) otherwise nothing works on the cart. Very redundant check box if you ask me since it being disabled you may as well use K2 instead of a shopping cart...

I really like what they have done with VM and the views though. This is going to make developing template integrations a snap! No more messing with templates in VM... WhooHooo!
