Questions about Virtuemart

Hello, I have some questions about VM and my boutique templates. First of all, what I wanna do is using the VM package as a catalouge (I checked the feature on Configuration menu). I do not have a real shop but I want to collect inside my "virtual" store clothes and then put a BUY buttun on every single product so that it will forward (redirect) the user to another website to effectively buy the item selected/signaled. See my shop here http://bit.ly/10MmbMS and please answer these questions:

1. How to change the name "CATEGORIES" on the left menu ? I cannot find where.
2. How to put all items into 3 columns with 3 rows ? At the moment is all in one single row but I cannot understand how to change this layout
3. How to remove the number unit box, number 1s in packagin e number 1sin box that you can see inside a listed product ?
4. How to change the ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THIS PRODUCT phrase with something like BUY AT XXXXXX SHOP. And, when the user click there, it will be redirected to another website ? Instead how to put a button under the SALES PRICE with BUY and then, when clicked, the system redirect to another website ?
5. How to change fonts for titles ?

Hope someone could help me.

No one can help me ? I am a regular subscriber !

Hi assenzio,

Please send an admin access to my email normanuk[at]live.co.uk and I ll take a look.

Meanwhile do following please.

1. Backup your database and files.
2. Write down links to pages you are referring to.
3. Regarding changing fonts for titles, which titles are you referring to , perhaps a screenshot.
4. Regarding BUY AT XXXXXX SHOP phrase, this would require modification and not recommended for future upgrade problems, perhaps you can add that yourself in product description as a link.
5. Regarding removing number unit box, please post a link and screenshot.

See you around...

Hello NormanUk,

Thanks for your help. I have sent everything you need to your email.

This is resolved now, please check your email. For the benefit of other users following is done for the changes.

1. Category on the left to SETIPIACIPIACI's SHOP. This is done, for your information below is how to.
It is simply a module name, go to module manager and see module name SETIPIACIPIACI's SHOP.

2. Changing category width. This is done, for your information below is how to.
Where module is published, that section is called left column and you can see it in template settings > layout. Please note left + Content + Right must not pass 100% value otherwise it will break layout. Old values was 20 + 50 + 30, changed to 30 + 40 + 30.

3. Regarding Font in Product Title. This is changed but still awaits your chosen font.
Your usage of KC Cufon font plugin is wrong. Do not use general css selectors such H1 as this plugin overrides every h1 selector. You need to be more specific so it doesn't effect other texts. For product font title following is exact selector: .productdetails-view h1
So you can enter that selector in KC Cufon Font plugin and choose your font. Currently it is using templates default font. Also I have disabled this plugin until you activate it again.

4. Unit numbers in product page. There are two ways to accomplish this.
a) If you dont want to use product packaging at all I have done this already by adding following css " .product-packaging { display:none; } " in template settings > Advanced Settings > Custom Css Code
b) if you want to disable "Number pieces in packaging" or don't show it, you can following below steps

- Go to Component choose VirtueMart
- You choose List Products and choose one by one what you want disable
- You choose tab Dimension and Weight, you can see "Units in a Package" and "Units in Box"
- You change number to 0
- Apply and Save to finish

5. Regarding Shop at XXX, this is done.
See Product descriptions and while in editor window select source code or html mode depending on your editor.
Following is html for the button and link: "<p><a href="http://www.setipiacipiaci.com" target="_blank" class="btn btn-large btn-block">Shop At Setipiacipiaci</a></p>" without quotes.
For the button I had to enter extra css styling , see template settings > advanced settings custom css code.

NormanUk, absolutely ... WOW !

I understand almost everything.

Thank you very much for you effort, highly appreciated

No problem at all, see you around...

Now, doing an update of Virtuemart to version 2.0.6 when creating a new product I have the folloqing error in the product's page:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for shopFunctionsF::EmailIcon(), called in /web/htdocs/www.setipiacipiaci.com/home/templates/gk_boutique/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php on line 81 and defined in /web/htdocs/www.setipiacipiaci.com/home/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/shopfunctionsf.php on line 589

How to solve ?

/templates/gk_boutique/html/com_virtuemart/ is a custom styling for Virtuemart Component. It seems your template version does not support your upgraded version as when there are layout changes occurs in Virtuemart Component itself then obviously template style should also use those changes hence depending on your template version might not support these changes.

Although looking at the latest quickstart package I can see it supports Virtuemart v2.016 so following is what you can do.

1. Backup your files and database.

2. Update your Virtuemart to version 2.016 then download quickstart package and copy only com_virtuemart/ style folder located in "/templates/gk_boutique/html/com_virtuemart/"

3. I do not have your template version so zip up your template and send it to me so I can find a working code, although I suggest you go for option 2 as it would be easier to keep up with future updates.

4. Rename following folder to anything else so component does not load custom styling.
"/templates/gk_boutique/html/com_virtuemart/" to "/templates/gk_boutique/html/com_virtuemart_test/"

Done with success ! The point 2 was sufficient to fix the error. Works with Virtuemart 2.0.20b latest version. Thank You.

No problem at all, see you around...
