The html file for Virtuemart categories layout is:

templates/ja_techzone/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/categories.php

To override this file I create a copy under the "local" folder:

templates/ja_techzone/local/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/categories.php

but for some reason this doesn’t work (the change I made in this file has no effect in categories layout). I’m doing something wrong?

TIA

Hi

May I know how you want to override this file and which page will have this change?

I set VirtueMart Home Page Settings to show only categories.

But your layout for this is very poor.

So I change templates/ja_techzone/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/categories.php from this:

          // Show Category ?>
    <div class="category floatleft<?php echo $category_cellwidth . $show_vertical_separator ?>">
      <div class="spacer">
        <h2>
          <?php echo $category->category_name ?>
          <a href="<?php echo $caturl ?>" title="<?php echo $category->category_name ?>">
          <?php // if ($category->ids) {
            echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb("",false);
          //} ?>
          </a>
        </h2>
      </div>
    </div>

to this:

          // Show Category ?>
    <div class="category floatleft<?php echo $category_cellwidth . $show_vertical_separator ?>">
      <div class="spacer">

        <div class="product-container clearfix">
            <div class="vm-product-media-container">

                  <a href="<?php echo $caturl ?>" title="<?php echo $category->category_name ?>">
                  <?php // if ($category->ids) {
                    echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb("",false);
                  //} ?>
                  </a>
                <h2>
                  <?php echo $category->category_name ?>
                </h2>

          </div>
        </div>

      </div>
    </div>

so both products and categories layout look similar

Could you also update the URL and admin login info of your site so I will have a look?
