Yes, it’s possible. You just need change some style at file /plugins/jamegafilter/virtuemart/assets/css/style.css

And change the mockup html at /plugins/jamegafilter/virtuemart/layouts/default

For overriding layout without changing original file, please copy mockup files to /templates/{template_name}/html/layouts/jamegafilter/virtuemart/default and edit.

Hi @josh,

Below are some knowledge base for this plugin which you may need to know:

• How dustjs works. This is the way we render the whole filter page. When you look at the mockup at plugins/jamegafilter/k2/layouts/default/ , some strange html codes that may make you confused, are part of dustjs.
• The data we use to render the articles, store at /media/com_jamegafilter/en_gb/ *.json (Yes, we didn’t query to database).The name of json file is your filter page id at backend. The data is created when you save your filter page. We call it indexing.
• Indexing is handled by plugin. All processes to collect data and export to json file at /plugins/jamegafilter/k2/helper.php. You need to learn how we structure the data, and improve it by your own way.

Regarding to override K2, it’s the same as I mentioned above for Virtuemart, you will need to override the layout for K2 in template folder: ROOT/plugins/jamegafilter/k2/layouts/default/, then customize the layout as you wish.

This process will require a bit heavy customization so if you’re not familiar with code, I recommend you to hire a developer to get it done for you.
