Custom Fields issue

Hello,
I am using Virtuemart 2.0.26c with Joomla 2.5.19.
I have added a Custom field as String and want it to display on the Product Details page. But it is not appearing on the product details page. Seems like an issue..

Can you please help?

Thanks

Hello,

Please try to upgrade the VM to the newest version and use the newest version of the template.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I have added custom filelds "nr kartki" i "wymiary" and filled them with data. I updated the template to 3.11vm and my VM version is 2.6, but custom fields are still not visible on product page.
Please, help.

What is your custom fields position? VirtueMart allows you to choose between top/bottom/normal, please try to change the position to bottom.

I`ve found the solution. In the layout position field there should be inserted text "ontop" or "onbot".
But how to show the custom fields text in the position where is "Ask a question"?

This require changes in our VM layout, you need to open template/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php file and find custom fields area, then cut code and paste in the place where 'ask' button is generated.

OK, thank You. Now it is in place
My next problem: I can`t figure out how to insert the custom field text on the VirtueMart category page under the picture. I found the place and if I insert there simply some text, it is shown. But when I insert code from product detail page:

Code: Select all

<h5><?php   if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['undertitle'])) {
$this->position='undertitle';
echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields');
} ?></h5>

nothing happens
My VirtueMart version is 2.6.6 and the template is InStyle.

Could you tell me which file you have modified? Core VM file or template overrided view?

Hello,
I am having the same issue. I updated to the newest version of VM and just downloaded the latest version of the template but no custom fields are being displayed. Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

What is your custom fields position? In VM you can choose between top, bottom etc position for this elements so please try to change position. On Beez template all is fine?

Thank you for your response. I did try all the vm positions but it still does not appear. I tried using the standard joomla template and all custom fields did display. I did not have to put on a vm position for the default template. Thanks again for our quick response. Patrick

Do you use latest template version? I've checked custom fields on quickstart package and all is fine there.

Thank you for your reply. I just downloaded the latest version of Virtuemart and downloaded the latest version of the StoreBox template (just the template itself, not the quick start) and still have the same problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again

Probably it will be necessary to look at files. Please make a quick test before you send me ftp details - go to template/html/com_virtuemart directory and rename directory called 'productdetails'. If the custom fields appear please send me FTP details via PM (please remember to include link to this forum topic).

I've the same issue on Storefront template. Vm and the template are the last update. renaming the "productdetails" folder the custom fields show.

Can you help me? Thanks in advance

I dowloaded the last template version 3.11.3vm and I installed it but the custom fields dont show again!!!!

Can you help me?

Frankie

I found the issue:

If the price of product is setting to 0, the custom fields dont show else they show;

I hope to give you a right guideline to solve the issue!

Hi there,

I'm having a similar problem with the latest Storebox and the latest Virtuemart and Joomla 3.

The custom fields will not show.

I'm trying to set up a simple drop down menu or check boxes so the user can choose a colour attribute for a product.

I appreciate any assistance you can give me here.

Thanks, Mark

Hello,

Did you tried to specify the layout position to addtocart?

Yes when I specify the 'addtocart' position it doesn't show the custom fields at all and if I leave it blank it displays it in the description text at the bottom. Seems like there's a problem somewhere as the product weight attribute doesn't display either.

@Purch - please send me a PM message with FTP and back-end access to your website.
