JA Megafilter - Virtuemart category layout override

kaspervdg

Hi.

I am integrating JA Megafilter in my JA Brickstore virtuemart website. I would like to use the Megafilter for all the virtuemart category pages so that the complete virtuemart category layout is not in use. Every page should use the Megafilter.

Currently however when viewing an specific article and then going back to the category from their it will always go back to the virtuemart category layout.
Is there a way to override this behaviour and only use JA Megafilter category layout pages?

Let me know how this should be done

Hi kaspervdg

Do you click the back to category link in detailed page of product ? of course, it will link to VM category page. It's default feature of Virtuemart.

If you want to click that button and it redirects back to previous page, you can try this way:

Go to file: templates/ja_brickstore/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php

At approx line 111, comment this line of code:

<a href="<?php echo $catURL ?>" class="product-details" title="<?php echo $categoryName ?>"><?php echo vmText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_CATEGORY_BACK_TO',$categoryName) ?></a>

and add this code:

<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" />

it will look like this:

<div class="back-to-category">
	<!-- <a href="<?php echo $catURL ?>" class="product-details" title="<?php echo $categoryName ?>"><?php echo vmText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_CATEGORY_BACK_TO',$categoryName) ?></a> -->
	<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" />
</div>

Then go to Backend >> Templates >> JA Brickstore >> Custom code tab and add this JS code:

<script>
function goBack()
  {
  window.history.back()
  }
</script>

Then clear all caches.
