Hi,

There is a problem a with the VM product details page, when the category that it belongs has subcategories. The subcategories are positioned before the product’s description at Product details page. You can see an example here: http://dogbows.gr/j30/en/shop/all-categories-en-gb/dogbows-en-gb/dog-bow-s-365-detail
I tried to uncheck “Show Children Category” from the VM configuration at the template tab, but, once you do that, then all categories are disappearing from the VM’s main page and VM’s root category.
I also attach a screen shot that shows the problem:

Please advise.

Hi

It looks like product shot description rather than subcategories:

Hi Saguaros,

Do you see the red arrow on my screen shot? This is where the subcategories are shown. In the product details page. This is wrong. They should be shown under the product details. Not in between, because they confuse the users.

Could you switch to default Joomla template and see how it looks?

or PM me admin login info of your site, I will take a look.

You can move the block code that displays the children category to underneath the tabs as default of Virtuemart:
– Go to file: templatesja_hawkstorehtmlcom_virtuemartproductdetailsdefault.php

– Find and move this snippet of code:


<?php>
//Show child categories
if (VmConfig::get('showCategory', 1)) {
echo $this->loadTemplate('showcategory');
}
?>


and paste it under the code for tabs. It will look like this:

Thanks Saguaros,

That resolved it! 🙂

I uploaded the updated php, just in case someone wants to use it, without the need to go through the changes. 🙂
