JoomShopping / YOOtheme Pro Integration

The package contains the following plugins:
- Main - JoomShopping / YOOtheme Pro integration
- Extended admin panel for layout selection in product parameters
- Extended products for implementing dynamic content "Recently viewed products" and additional variables of the main plugin
- 3 plugins for integrating JoomShopping into Joomla smart search: products, categories, and manufacturers.
JS page implementation
All store sections have been separated into separate templates in the builder. Each has its own filters by language, and some by category or target content. This allows you to create several different layouts for a landing page, which will automatically be pulled up for the site visitor depending on the filters set.
The page can be opened by clicking on the layout.
Dynamic content implementation
Each page contains its own target dynamic content with corresponding variables. Some can include sources of multiple elements (for example, products in a category) for custom and more flexible template configuration. Due to the multi-level nesting of arrays in some places, it is recommended to use third-party YOOtheme modules that support displaying a grid within a grid.
There are a large number of variables, especially for the product, so practice is required. Please note that some data can be disabled in the JoomShopping settings, so please refer to the documentation for a detailed description of all dynamic data, its output conditions, and argument contents.
Module replacement
In addition to targeted dynamic data, there is universal data that can be displayed through builder modules on any page (including outside the JS component). These include:
- Categories
- Manufacturers
- Sellers
- Products
- Reviews
- Cart
- Payment Methods
- Shipping Methods
Each has its own filters. For example, products can be filtered by type, category, manufacturer, seller, tag, and price.
Smart Search
Simply enable the included plugins to expand smart search indexing with data from JoomShopping. YOOtheme Pro supports Joomla smart search, allowing you to customize the display of products, categories, and manufacturers in live search, just like with pages.
Potential difficulties
The most obvious is the large number of variables. But this is a specific feature of JoomShopping. It takes practice to sort through some of the more subtle data.
Array Nesting. Some variables within an array can contain their own arrays. This cannot be implemented through standard YOOtheme modules. In this case, complex template variables with configuration via arguments are provided. Alternatively, third-party add-ons can be used.
JoomShopping Scripts. Standard scripts (the ones that are pulled in) are based on selectors already included in the standard template, but require this knowledge when designing a custom template. Otherwise, some functionality will be unavailable. Some data is already displayed with the appropriate classes and IDs (for example, price or availability information), but many are simply impossible to implement.
Considering the above, the JoomShopping / YOOtheme Pro integration extension is recommended for users who have already encountered JoomShopping and have basic knowledge of HTML and JavaScript, or who carefully read the documentation and are willing to spend some time learning the features of the store and YOOtheme Pro.
