I need to insert a short description in category grid view
How can I do that?

Hi Andy,

we don't provide free support or step-by-step instructions for custom coding modifications. But your question is relatively easy and let me help you on this.

The PHP expression to print the short description on Category page, is this:
Now, the question is: "Where do you have to inject this expression to print the short description?". This might be little tricky. First of all, open the PHP file that controls the Category Page. They are here:

/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/category/flexv2.php
There are total of 2 category page layouts, but you selected only one of them via Virtuemart Backend >> Configuration, so open the appropriate file

Those category PHP files are very long. But if you use a nice text editor (i.e: Dreamweaver, Sublime Text) then it is not really hard to find the correct place to inject the php expression of short desc.

The GRID View portion starts with this DIV Tag:
within that DIV Tag, find the "Product Name Tag" -- because i suppose you want to inject the short description, right after the product name, right?

The product name TAG starts with this DIV:
So, right after this tag ends, insert a new DIV tag that includes the short description PHP expression, something like this:

Then, you can style the FlexibleBrowseShortDesc class by adding CSS rules for it

I hope this topic will be useful to others. I tried to explain the whole concept basically, so by following the same practice, you can do any kind of customization you want.

If you like CleanMart and satisfied with the support you have received, please "write a review" on:
www.flexiblewebdesign.com/Virtuemart-2-Templates/CleanMart

Write couple of sentences to share your experience with the support team.
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!

Thanks

Sure, your welcome.

Hi Andy, I write to you here because I cannot find your email. Can you provide me some informazioni on how you put microdata in the product details page? Did you imclude reviews as well? Many thanks Bruno

Hi,

For implementing the "Microdata" (aka. scheme.org), see this topic:
www.flexiblewebdesign.com/forum-joomla-virtuemart-template-stylemart-support/3299-problem-share-google-plus#13901

In this topic, i have explain how to implement scheme.org on product details page for StyleMart template, but the idea and the files to make edits are the same for CleanMart as well.

Regards.

I solved the problem with mikrodata.
