Modifying A VirtueMart Product Page


If you want to change/customize your Virtuemart product detail page layout within Virtuemart default template/theme folder, it’s a relatively easy task.

First of all, find the flypage template file in following path: /components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/product_details/flypage.tpl.php

( This is the default path, but If you’re using another template for display of your product details page, it may be differ the name such asgarden_flypage.tpl.php or something like that. )

You can use the following variables (listed below) for customizing the layout and other information.
For example, if you want display product name you can use $product_name within PHP brackets and echo the variable inside:

<!– Print out the value of a variable –>
<p>Product Name: <?php echo $product_name ?></p>

Don’t forget to close the PHP brackets and always use valid PHP code. If you don’t, it might break your site.

The following list are all of the global variables that can be use within product details page:
