Can you send the login information of the site where it is working? So we can figure out the differences between the 2?

The ticket is private so you can safely do so.

Thank you!

Chris,

I just enabled the J2Commerce products page :
https://lukemachin.com/soulshine-pre

I set it for superuser access so you can see it first - I also saw no front-end login/account link so I enabled shared sessions in the global config so after you log in to the back-end of the site, click the link above to view the options in the category view for both downloadable and simple product types.

The two that are missing don't currently have any options set for those products. 

Also, for products category view (for reference) files that begin with default_ are related to category level product displays and files that begin with view_ handle the individual product display views. I didn't touch any of the files though as it seems to working in the J2 menu item. Did I totally miss the issue or is this what you were trying to do?

Chris,

I usually only build my stores using the J2 Products or Tags Views, but if I were using a page builder system, I can see the need for additional customizations using the shortcodes. Let me see if I can add another page to the documentation showing how to use layout overrides on the short code displays...

Chris,

I removed the super user creds you posted in the the earlier post as I am going to make this public so others can learn from this as well.

Here is the secret sauce to using the template layout override system to customize how the product elements appear in your article views when you are using the shortcodes:

Step 1: Inside your templates' html folder (same place you have already added the com_j2store override file) you are going to create a new folder titled product (singular)

so your folder structure should look similar to this:
templates/shaper_strings/html/com_j2store/product

Step 2: You can either copy all of the files or just the one you need from:
components/com_j2store/views/product/tmpl

and paste into your new product folder here:
templates/shaper_strings/html/com_j2store/product

The files should all have the item prefix. These are the files that the shortcode uses to display the products on your article pages.

Step 3: Inside the item_downloadable.php file found here:
templates/shaper_strings/html/com_j2store/product/item_downloadable.php

look towards the bottom of the file for something that looks like this :

and add the yellow highlighted item above the $this->loadTemplate('cart'); as shown below.

This now gives you the best of both worlds - you can customize these item views to fit your your current project and in your case - now display the options fields for downloadable products using the shortcodes.

the products view looks fine, but your article caegory blog view fits the template better in my opinion.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you run into any other issues, you know how to find us :)
