Could you point me toward the files for editing the Flypage to add the "Short Description" to your Flypage?
My product names are not very descriptive and I need this description to appear just above the images.

I'm going to try this myself and will post the answer if I get it to work, but this might be good info for other users and it is never bad to double check with you pros.

Hello -

Thanks for buying the Flytabs Virtuemart theme. Are you sure you are talking about the flypage? The flypage is for product details. The category display is a browse page.

This would be your link to the browse templates:

/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse/

Then in the browse itself, you would add this code:

<? php echo $product_s_desc ?>

Let me know if you have any problems and we'll take a look at it.

Thanks,

Glen

Thanks, but I was talking about the Flypage.

I edited the file "flypage.tpl.php" and put the following on line 144 (just below $product_name):
<?php echo $product_s_desc; ?>

It leaves a bit of white space, but I'll fix that later. Thanks for your help.

PS. You guys need to advertise this theme better. It is fantastic, but I had to make several Google searches before I ever found you. I even bought the JQuery Product Scroller, which I didn't need, to help support you guys.

Thank you so much for finding us! Two things would really help us increase our presence.

First, could you please post the key words you were using? FlyTabs does so much, that sometimes it is difficult to know what people are looking for. Was it the integrated video, the Zoom function, the tabs, etc.? Knowing what keywords you were looking for in Google, but didn't find us using, would be great to know. That gives us something to really work on.

Second, would you be so kind as to leave us a good review on the Virtuemart extensions site?

It is here: extensions.virtuemart.net/index.php

Also, other than Google did you use any directories to look for extensions? Virtuemart Themes aren't allowed on the Joomle Extensions Directory, and we are listed on Virtuemart, but there are tons of others and we are trying to figure out which ones are worth being in.

I even bought the JQuery Product Scroller, which I didn't need, to help support you guys.


Thank you!!!!! We appreciate the business.

If your site is live, you might want to consider putting a link to it in the new Site Showcase.

Regards,

I used "virtuemart flypage" in Google. I wasn't aware of the Extension Directory on the VM site, but they were the 6th link down. I clicked that link, which was not yours, and eventually found your extension after browsing through VM.

I had already gone through the following Google inquiries at a minimum and I never found you guys:
virtuemart template
virtuemart item description
virtuemart joomla template
virtuemart shirt template
virtuemart multiple image template

I'll get a review up this weekend.
