I use VirtueMart. I need to add some content to product details page to specific DIV. I cant only change template. I need to do this by php because it will be Joomla plugin.
Look at the override system for customizing Joomla, it also applies to Virtuemart. You can add code or simple html to the product details page and place it in the templates HTML folder (where overrides go).
If you only wish to have this on some products, you can have that product details file named something other than default.php and then it will be available to select as the layout to use in the Virtuemart product edit screen.

I have a website here that I need to create a custom page where in I can call the header and the footer as well as the sidebar.
If you're going to do it in Wordpress its easy as this link says:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/
However, Joomla is a bit different on this one. If I will try to add a new article I wont be able to customize the layout that I want. Let's say in the custom page I want to create I don't want the footer to show up and I want to add internal CSS on it which is possible on Wordpress custom page.
Any idea how do the same thing Joomla 1.5??
Thanks!
I have to put some Tracking code on several pages: some category pages, homepage, cart and success page. Whats the best way to accomplish that?
I thought:
homepage --> place the code in CMS -> pages -> home
success --> edit the success.phtml
cart --> edit the cart.phtml
categories -> create a CMS block --> place layout update in the concerning category page to load CMS block
But it looks like it is just a mess because for every code I have another solution. What would you suggest to get it done? Did I miss a better solution?
Thank you,
Hannes
If it's the same tracking code for each one, you could
Create a .phtml file containing the code
Add the file to the relevant hard pages (success, cart) using your layout xml files
Add the file to the relevant soft pages (home, categories) using the custom design tab / custom layout update area.
If the code changes based on the page, then you may need to create a new module with a block that alters the tracking code according to a parameter you include in the layout.
You can include a tracking script using the available Magento configurations fields.
Go to System > Configuration > Design
Under the HTML Head section, insert your tracking script into the Miscellaneous Scripts field.
Save Config, and clear your Magento caches.
Alternatively if you want it in the Footer instead, look under the Footer section and use the Miscellaneous HTML box there.
Is there any possible solution to develop this http://www.tailorstore.co.uk/tailor-made-shirts
kind of functionality in joomla virtuemart like any component or module available for this attributes ?
There is any possible solution with Joomla. Simply create a component that has the buttons and javascript to edit the image on the page you've shown there - and pass it all across into a virtuemart cart.
In terms of clicking on a button and changing the image - this is pretty basic javascript. See this How to add product to virtuemart Cart without saving to darabase? About adding a product into the virtuemart cart outside of virtuemart
Or use a simple shopping cart module like this: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/shopping-cart/10116
In terms of an existing component changing the images like on your site the answer is no it almost certainly doesn't exist - but that's the beauty of Joomla - being able to build it easily.
I have added a separate product with custom options for that product from admin. But the view which i am getting on front-end has to be edited because i want to give my own styling for that product only. So which are the files from where the custom option html is coming.
Turn on template path hints
In the "Design" tab for that product in the Admin, specify a different template/templates for the blocks which you want to change.
I hope this question has a simple answer. I am creating a product catalogue with Joomla 2.5.6 and VirtueMart version 2.0.8e. On the product details page I want to include my own pdf button which will link to the brochure of the product.
Under the suggestion of a reply on the Virtuemart form, I created an image custom field in virtuemart but encountered two major problems.
I don't know now to link the image to a pdf.
I can't seem to remove the title from the image.

Please advise.

My suggestion would be to use the Virtuemart Files feature. From the admin control panel, under "Shop", choose "Media". There you can upload the file(s) that you want to have downloaded. Be sure to associate them with a product, and they'll be included on the product page for download. To make a button out of the link(s), you could investigate using CSS to style them as a button. The only alternative I can think of would be to build a custom plugin for VM, which would be a great deal of extra work.
To make Custom fields in Joomla Virtuemart 2.0 is so simple.
You need to open your administrator and then go to:
Virtuemart->Products->Custom Field
there you will find a link to create new custom fiels and you can create your custom field with your choice. It provides various Custom Field Types. After creating and saving your custom field you need to go to product whom you want to add it. like:
Products->your product name->
open your product and go to Custom Fields and there at bottom you can see your custom field. add your custom field to product, save it and check this product from front-end of your site.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
