[SOLVED] SwitchView button doesn't show up 11 years 6 months ago #771

Andy Connell

I have used this template for a couple of other stores.

But only installed the new template/theme (downloaded yesterday) in a VM 2.0.12b site that I am upgrading from J1.5 today.

I have set up as i always do, but notcied that the buttons in top right for viewing category products as list or table are not showing up?

Is this a problem or have I missed something in my settings?

You can see store pages here bit.ly/Rb56ED click on a category and you see the buttons dont show

Thanks, Andy

hi,
It is because you are using CSS compression tools, your CSS file is right here:
www.vm2.biorhythm-nutrition.co.uk/jupgrade/cache/template/css.php?id=6a9f7d15bf182516de87b3679257db4d

It has this path for the switch icons:
templates/yoo_vox/html/com_virtuemart/assets/images/Flexible/switch_thumb.png

which is not correct location.
To fix it, open this CSS file:
www.vm2.biorhythm-nutrition.co.uk/jupgrade/templates/yoo_vox/html/com_virtuemart/assets/css/flexibleVM2Global.css

and find these CSS rules:

a.switch_thumb {
	background: url(../images/Flexible/switch_thumb.png) no-repeat 0px -30px;
	display:block;
	height:30px;
	width:72px;
	float:right;
	margin-left:15px;
}
a.swap {
	background: url(../images/Flexible/switch_thumb.png) no-repeat 0px 0px;
 
}

Change them with these:

a.switch_thumb {
	background: url(http://www.vm2.biorhythm-nutrition.co.uk/jupgrade/templates/yoo_vox/html/com_virtuemart/assets/images/Flexible/switch_thumb.png) no-repeat 0px -30px;
	display:block;
	height:30px;
	width:72px;
	float:right;
	margin-left:15px;
}
a.swap {
	background: url(http://www.vm2.biorhythm-nutrition.co.uk/jupgrade/templates/yoo_vox/html/com_virtuemart/assets/images/Flexible/switch_thumb.png) no-repeat 0px 0px;
 
}

AND DON'T FORGET TO DELETE THE CACHE.
TO DELETE CACHE, open this folder below through FTP and delete any file you see in it:

ROOT/cache/template/

Then the compressed CSS file will be regenerated by your joomla template (yoo_vox)

It is not a permanent patch, but you will survive, just don't forget to change the domain name (www.vm2.biorhythm-nutrition.co.uk/jupgrade/) in the Switch Icon path, once you move website to another domain name.

Support	Your welcome, this kind of thing can happen sometimes. The best way is having the "Firebug" plugin for Mozailla Firebug, (just google it) and investigate the element to see what is wrong with it. Cheers. Case closed. Topic is locked.
