VM2 Custom Fields Cart Attribute was created by Naisly

Hi there,

Ok, I have been trying to fix a couple issues with custom fields in VM2 with the help of virtuemart forums.

My question was - I cannot publish any custom field if I do not check 'Yes' for - Cart Attribute, how do I fix this?

I have tried:
Did try the default ontop, normal, onbot positions while making a new custom field type - string. Titled it - ontop, Cart Attribute - No, Layout Position - ontop. I did try this for the 3 positions and still nothing would show on the front end until I changed Cart Attribute - Yes.

They suggested that my template probably needs updating after we went through a few ideas.
if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted)) {

$this->position='onbot';

echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields');

} // Product Custom ontop end

?>

I'm not a programer and could be off here, but my code seems to be missing stuff compared to virtuemarts? And shouldn't it be - Product Custom onbot end?

Anyways, I sure hope you can help.

Joomla - 2.5.4
Virtuemart - 2.0.18a
PHP - 5.3.21

Hello,

VM team just announced new version 2.0.20, so you may try updating. They say it fixes many problems.

Thanks,
Milos

Hi there,

I did update and no change. The code is still the same for my custom fields.

Theirs:

Code:

if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['ontop'])) { ?>
   <div class="product-fields">
   <?php
   $custom_title = null ;
   foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted['ontop'] as $field){
      if ($field->display) {
         ?><div class="product-field product-field-type-<?php echo $field->field_type ?>">
         <?php if ($field->custom_title != $custom_title) { ?>
            <span class="product-fields-title" ><?php echo JText::_($field->custom_title); ?></span>
            <?php if ($field->custom_tip) echo JHTML::tooltip($field->custom_tip,  JText::_($field->custom_title), 'tooltip.png');
         } ?>
         <span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>
         <span class="product-field-desc"><?php echo jText::_($field->custom_field_desc) ?></span>
         </div>
         <?php
         $custom_title = $field->custom_title;
      }
   } ?>
   </div>
<?php } // Product Custom ontop end ?>

Mine:

Code:

if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted)) {

$this->position='onbot';

echo $this->loadTemplate('customfields');

} // Product Custom ontop end

?>

I'm wondering why there is such a difference. As I said, I'm not a programer.

The fellow I spoke with at VM said it is more than likely a template issue $=\$

Try this default.php in zipped attachment.

Available fields layout positions:

ontop - above image
normal - this is default when you leave empty (bolow add to chart)
in_desc - in description tab
onbot - bottom

Thank you.

I did try, and still no luck. What do you think is causing this issue because it is very annoying $=\$
There has to be something that is over-riding this?

Again:

Did try the default ontop, normal, onbot positions while making a new custom field type - string. Titled it - ontop, Cart Attribute - No, Layout Position - ontop. I did try this for the 3 positions and still nothing would show on the front end until I changed Cart Attribute - Yes.

And even still, if all Cart Attributes are set to yes - The field shows up, but only in one position.

Use string type for simple text fields
