How to Customize the VirtueMart Home Page (Shop Page)

  • VirtueMart 1.1

If you make a link just to the VirtueMart component as many do as a Front Page to their shop you get a rather boring list of top level categories and/or category thumbnails.
It can be made a lot more interesting and helpful to your visitor.



Standard VirtueMart Home Page (Shop Page) To achieve it there is a large amount of coding needed of quite a few different files but the result is well worth it.

If you would like to have your VirtueMart Home page styled like this or in some other way just contact us through our Contact Page or Skype us.

There are many different possibilities such as -
  • Alpha-numeric search of Products
  • Alpha-numeric search of Categories
  • Alpha-numeric search of particular Sub-categories
  • Alpha-numeric search of particular Product Types
  • Link list or linked image list of particular Categories
  • Link list or linked image list of particular Product type (either through using Product Types, Short Description or Category

We can also code your VirtueMart site so that these different search dialogues are always displayed above the search results.
You can see examples of this in action on our test shop at Our VirtueMart Test Shop and also as an image below.
