child Product list

Attributes are the features of a product like Color, Size.Products that have multiple sizes or colours you can manage those product by using child product option in virtuemart.In frontend, Drop-down display for child product as attribute we assigned to product to particular actual product.

Let’s see how you customize that drop-down box in frontend.

Here, I am going to place “Sold Out” text instead of Price in drop-down if child product is out of stock

Let’s see the steps for same

Step 1

First of all,go to the folder and path is administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes and next select ps_product_attribute.php file

Step 2

Next, find the below line of code into the file


$html .= ' - ' . $CURRENCY_DISPLAY->getFullValue( $price["product_price"] ) ;

1 2	$html .= ' - ' . $CURRENCY_DISPLAY->getFullValue( $price["product_price"] ) ;

Step 3

and place below code instead of this


$productID = $db->f( "product_id" );
$sql = "SELECT product_in_stock FROM #__vm_product WHERE product_id=$productID" ;
$db->setQuery( $sql ) ;
$res = $db->loadResult();
if($res <='0'){
 $html .= '- Sold Out';
}else{
$html .= ' - ' . $CURRENCY_DISPLAY->getFullValue( $price["product_price"] ) ;
}

$productID = $db->f( "product_id" );

$sql = "SELECT product_in_stock FROM #__vm_product WHERE product_id=$productID" ;

$db->setQuery( $sql ) ;

$res = $db->loadResult();

if($res <='0'){

$html .= '- Sold Out';

}else{

$html .= ' - ' . $CURRENCY_DISPLAY->getFullValue( $price["product_price"] ) ;

}

That’s it.Now you have your own dropdown for child product in virtuemart.
