Hi,

I'm about to release a new store but am having a few issues in the testing stage. Some may not be related to MateriaMart but I can't be sure at this point since there are a few design wise.

1. When site is in offline mode mode, all is fine for super admin. But when it's online, Call for Price is displayed in all sections, after logging in it will display in product pages, but not in the VM Products Module. (all product pricing is available to all shopper groups)
2. Related products show various styles in add to cart popup (also wouldn't mind dropping count to 3 per row),
3. Zoom effect is active even though it's disabled in the plugin.
4. Registration page is a bit of a mess style wise.
5. Pagination on product detail pages doesn't work (goes one forward, then back instead of continuing forward)
6. Style on Add to car button on related products is off
7. Not all published Payment options are shown in checkout page

regards,
Robert

Hi,

Let me go over the problems you mentioned one by one.

1. When site is in offline mode mode, all is fine for super admin. But when it's online, Call for Price is displayed in all sections, after logging in it will display in product pages, but not in the VM Products Module. (all product pricing is available to all shopper groups)


For instance, i am investigating this product: test.image-nation.com.au/index.php/products/generic-hp-no-501a-q6470a-black-toner-cartridge-detail that product has this price group option: "Default Shopper Group".. So, this means; the price will be displayed to "logged users" only. So, when i am logged-in (in the front-end) I am seeing the price; but if i logged out, i see the "call for price" button, because the price is hidden from Anonymous Users (aka. Guest or Not-Logged-In Users). if you want to display the prices to "everybody" (including the logged and not-logged-in users), then you have to choose "Available for All" option.



By the way, apparently you found a bug on "Product Module", because prices should have also hidden in the Module while the price group is set to "Default Shopper Group", but that "product module" is actually the official module that comes with the Virtuemart Core, so it is a bug of original module, MaterialMart is just styling it to make it look good.

2. Related products show various styles in add to cart popup (also wouldn't mind dropping count to 3 per row)

Related products are displayed 4 products per row, by default. But in your case, the layout looks little weird, because apparently you enabled the "Show Short Description" option (or maybe it was enabled by default) via "Related Products Custom Field".. So, you should disable the short desc. parameter to have a better look. Navigate to "Custom Fields" page via VM Backend and click this custom field: "Related Products" and disable this option: "Show product short description" -- Actually you can select what to show or what to hide on this page. These parameters also controls the products element within the "Related Products TAB" on the product details page.

If you want to display the "short description" in the product details page tab; but disable it within the add-to-cart popup only, then you have to use CSS.. So, open this CSS file:
ROOT///templates/yoo_monday/html/com_virtuemart/assets/css/flexible.css

Scroll to the bottom and insert this CSS rule:
to change "3 products per row" to "4 products per row", then insert these lines (to the bottom of flexible.css file)


and you will get this look:



3. Zoom effect is active even though it's disabled in the plugin.
This is a known bug and will fixed in the upcoming release. But for now, to fix this issue, insert this CSS rule below to flexible.css file (to the bottom of the file)
and the zoomEffect will be disabled.


4. Registration page is a bit of a mess style wise.
You should be using this URL below for the "registration" page:
test.image-nation.com.au/index.php/products/user/editaddresscartBT?flexible=register

because other pages (beside that one above) are not styled solely by MaterialMart.. Either Virtuemart or Joomla template puts hands on; thus style "overriding" occurs.


5. Pagination on product detail pages doesn't work (goes one forward, then back instead of continuing forward)
Pagination (next-prev) on product details page has always been problematic in VM. In the latest VM, it is quite reliable though; but still not perfect, there are some flaws, especially, if you put products into multiple categories; the whole "next-prev" system collapse.. There is nothing we can do about it. MaterialMart is just style the PREV and NEXT buttons, that's it. The URLs of those PREV - NEXT products are determined by the Virtuemart Core.

6. Style on Add to car button on related products is off
Until the latest VM release (vm3.2.1) putting add to cart button for the "related products" wasn't possible. It is a new feature and doesn't work as expected.You should better wait for the new versions (both from vm and from us) to tackle this issue. For now, you should better leave the "add to cart" button disabled (via VM Backend >> Custom Fields >> Related Products)

7. Not all published Payment options are shown in checkout page
That sounds like a real problem. I can't be sure why this is happening. Everything looks normal in the backend, all of those methods should have been displayed. Can you try this benchmark test and let me know about the result?

Connect to your website via FTP and rename this folder:
/templates/yoo_monday/html/com_virtuemart/
to this:
/templates/yoo_monday/html/com_virtuemart2/

(this folder change will disable the MaterialMart from your website temporarily)

Then navigate to the cart page and see if you are seeing those missing payment methods. If you see the missing payment methods, then it means MaterialMart is responsible for the problem and i am happy to assist you about that. But if the methods are still missing, then it must be related to something else (and i can't be sure what that might be)


If you like MaterialMart and satisfied with the support you have received, please "Write a review" on:
www.flexiblewebdesign.com/Virtuemart-Templates/MaterialMart

Write couple of sentences to share your experience with the support team and about our product. Just 2-3 sentences would be enough ;) It might sound simple to you, but it is extremely important. Potential customers care about product reviews very much.

Thanks in advance!

Support

Thanks for the support, great stuff. All issues have been resolved. Saved me a lot of time, first point particularly wouldn't have popped to mind for a while.

thanks!!!

And review's been made ;)

Hi guys,

a quick one, after updating VM to 3.2.2, the custom fields show on related products despite them being switched off in VM configuration.
I take it it's a VM issue, but would probably be good for you to be aware as well.

The site is now live

Hi,

Since the "spacing" is very limited for "Related Products" panel, it makes no sense to display neither add-to-cart button nor custom fields on the product grids.

Navigate to "VM Backend >> Custom Fields >> Related Products" and disable this option:
With 'Add to Cart' button

then, add to cart button and the custom fields will be gone from related product grids.

Regards

I saw this topic:
www.flexiblewebdesign.com/forum-joomla-virtuemart-template-lightmart-support/1797-different-price-labels-for-logged-in-customers

How can I achieve this on material mart template?. I want visitors to be forced to register to see prices.

Hi,

MaterialMArt or LightMart, it shouldn't matter. When you want to hide prices from anonymous users, the procedure is exactly the same. What you get with MaterialMart when you follow those steps to hide prices?
