Hey,
I am trying to get puremart to work the same as your demo site, but I still have some questions even after reading the tutorial.
I am using the default Beez20 template.

1. When I show my product in a category it is showing 3 product on a row. But the width of the product boxes is not wide enough to fit the add to cart in. So the boxes are not evenly distributed across the default with of the content window. How can I change this?
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=1&Itemid=101

2. Some product have default the link to “linkedin” and “Bookmark and share”. How can I set this for all products?

3. If I hover across a product Quick Look and More info, the fading is going to complete transparent. This is not on your demo website.
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=1&Itemid=101

4. How did your add the children option fields into the template? My option fields are automatically under the tab specifications? I used the ontop position!

Your website solution:

www.flexiblewebdesign.com/virtuemart-2-template-puremart/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=37&Itemid=478

My website, click on "specifications", to see the options:
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=1&virtuemart_category_id=1&Itemid=101

5. How did you do the styling “Free Shipping on orders of $200. More information.” in the green box?

6. How can we change the box height to make sure they are always the same height if you show 3 product on a row for instance. Look at your website. Products with a discount need a higher box, compared with a notify product:
www.flexiblewebdesign.com/virtuemart-2-template-puremart/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=1&Itemid=474

7. If I need to do tailor made css, for instance to float the cart box on the right. What is the best place to add these changes, to make sure the stay even after updates?

Is there not a option to get the demo database?

Hope you can help me.

1. It's up to you - the reason they don't fit is because of the text length of your add to cart -
obvious solution - a less verbose text....

2. the products that don't show it have a js error
see - www.flexiblewebdesign.com/forum-virtuemart-2-template-puremart-support/523-the-easiest-way-to-solve-jquery-conflict-issues

hopefully that will fix it

3. you have this hover problem all over your site

get rid of this css

nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/templates/beez_20/css/personal.css lines 623 & 44

read www.flexiblewebdesign.com/forum-virtuemart-2-template-puremart-support/342-using-firebug-for-customization-or-troubleshooting

4. they need to be cart attributes..

5. In the flexibleTemplate plugin - styling you will find with Firebug

6. You will just need to set minimum heights in the various divs contained in the <div class="FlexibleBrowseThumbProductInner2V2"> div

e.g. set templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/assets/css/flexibleVM2Global.css

will be a combination of these divs

7. templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/assets/css/flexibleVM2Global.css

8. what would be the point - you would need a huge cleanup job once you looked at it

Cheers

John, thx I will try.

Installed the plugin and checked v1.6. But still not fixed.

This one has no icons:
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=6&virtuemart_category_id=1

This is fine:
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=1&virtuemart_category_id=1

there is definitely something different between those two pages - the ones without the social icons have an extra js error..

TypeError: selectBox is null
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/templates/beez_20/html/com_virtuemart/assets/Flexible/productUpdater.js
Line 128
hmm - have just noticed that this error relates to the custom fields dropdown which is ONLY present on the product that shows the socials

Can you test this theory by adding a custom field to another non showing product please?

Cheers

I tried with this one, but it doesn't show them yet :(

for "Generic Child Variant" custom field, we have implemeted the AJAX updating to puremart, so once the variant is changed, it loads the DATA without refreshing the entire page, but it handles this with AJAX uploading.

But; In order to use the AJAX updater and have it works flawlessly, the "Display parent as option" must be CHECKED, and "parent orderable" must be UNCHECKED. The parent is not a real product to sell. This is also same in all well-known ecommerce software. (even amazon.com use this method, you need to select a Size or Color variations, then the "add to cart" button comes up. Parent product usually just for typing contents/description etc.., and child products are being added to cart.




I believe this causes the JavaScript problem which eventually ends up being "not visible social icons" because of the conflict issue. As i am seeing, your CHECKED the "parent orderable" option for that particular product:
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=5&virtuemart_category_id=1

On the other hand, you UNCHECKED that option for this product:
nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_category_id=1&virtuemart_product_id=11

and the AJAX updater is working and no error at all for that particular product details page.

and one more. See the screenshot:

sorry, back again. Implemented both posts but it is still not working in firefox 20! (cleaned cache!). But it is working fine in IE!

I am not sure about the parent orderable. I am getting a catalog from my customer, including parent orderable products. I have to test it again, but the main reason for this, is the behaviour of VM2. You have to included a price for the parent product. Which is strange of if you show this item and product isn't orderable, only children with different prices!
But have to test this again.

Do you have an example of this parent child on your demo website?

I tried safari, but the same as firefox.

any other thoughts?

Sorry for the delay - will kick the bosses chair again...

please be patient..

Thats OK I still have some weeks untill launch ;)

Hi,

1. Solution:
Make the parent "not orderable". For instance;
(i am talking about this product: nieuw.bootwebwinkel.nl/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_category_id=0&virtuemart_product_id=56)

Create a product name called: Nice Saw
This will be parent product and IT WILL NOT BE ORDERABLE. Then create 2 child products under it:
- Nice Saw Big
- Nice Saw Small

Those child's will be orderable, and everything will work perfectly.

2. solution:
If you insist on having "orderable" parent products. Then you should avoid AJAX loading for "generic child product variant" custom field.
So, open this PHP file:
ROOT/templates/<yourjoomlatemplate>/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php

Change this PHP line (line number 29)
With this:
Then everything should work out just fine.

Regards.
