Product model instead of name in category product grid

Post by joss » Fri Nov 04, 2016 1:27 am

Hello to all,
I welcome the community of Opencart which I just started learning for the specific e-commerce platform recently.

Using VQMOD I have successfully inserted the product model instead of name in product grid.
Though, after using taxonomy, navigation filters or pagination the grid brings back the product name.

Most probable is that somewhere in javascript code requests again the product name. Does anyone know at which part of the code is that?

Thanks in advance..
Opencart 2.1.0.2 & Journal Theme

The vqmod contents are the following.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<modification>
	<id><![CDATA[Product Model in Category]]></id>
	<version><![CDATA[1.0]]></version>
	<vqmver><![CDATA[2.1x]]></vqmver>
	<author><![CDATA[Author]]></author>

<file name="/catalog/view/theme/journal2/template/product/category.tpl">
		<operation>
			<search position="replace"><![CDATA[<h4 class="name"><a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>"><?php echo $product['name']; ?></a></h4>]]></search> 
			<add><![CDATA[<h4 class="name"><a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>"><?php echo $product['model']; ?></a></h4>]]>
			</add>
		</operation>
</file>

In the same file, you might need to modify a javascript function display(view) {... }

Yes but which function would be?
If you direct me to the file at least I could search which part of the code to change.

I'm new to opencart and still trying to find how this whole system works..
Thanks

There is no Script involved with this, it just misses the Model Declaration in the Array! ::)

Code: Select all

$data['products'][] = array(
					'product_id'  => $result['product_id'],
					'thumb'       => $image,
					'name'        => $result['name'],
					'description' => utf8_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, $this->config->get($this->config->get('config_theme') . '_product_description_length')) . '..',
					'price'       => $price,
					'special'     => $special,
					'tax'         => $tax,
					'minimum'     => $result['minimum'] > 0 ? $result['minimum'] : 1,
					'rating'      => $result['rating'],

Thanks for your answer but unfortunately this does not work,
the "Model" declaration was already in category.php, otherwise it wouldn't work in the first place.

It does not work in javascript reload, when we select pagination or filters.

Sorry, but this has absolutely nothing to do with Pagination or Javascript
if you have placed the Model Line just below, like here,in the category.tpl file,
then, it will function, I am sure:

Code: Select all

<div class="caption">
<div>Model: <?php echo $product['model']; ?></div>
Ernie

PS. I updated the VqMod, placed further above, to make it work with a Default Themed OC v.2.2.x!
The latest Category Image further above reflects the result!
It's driven by an OC v.2.2.6.4 CC - Multi Vendor Marketplace, technically equal or > to default OC v.2.2.x, I assume:

ok, thank you for all your replies.

The problem seems to be inside themes code. I'm going to ask theme creator.

I just created another OcMod, by use of OC v.2.2.x Software, and explained some more details on this:
