I am using this sj market theme with virtuemart 3 and in product description page.. even if i enabled 'ask a question' from virtuemart's configuration, it wont show the button... but when i change my template to default joomla beez theme, it can be seen so i think the problem is with the template.. how can i show that 'ask a question;' button in product page in this sj market theme?

please help.

Dear sir,

Please go to templates\sj_market\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default.php find code:
echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('stockhandle',array('product'=>$this->product));
=> add code to:
echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('stockhandle',array('product'=>$this->product));

// Ask a question about this product
if (VmConfig::get('ask_question', 0) == 1) {
$askquestion_url = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&task=askquestion&virtuemart_product_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_category_id . '&tmpl=component', FALSE);
?>
<div class="ask-a-question">
<a class="ask-a-question" href="<?php echo $askquestion_url ?>" rel="nofollow" ><?php echo vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ENQUIRY_LBL') ?></a>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Thanks & regards!

thank you so much for the reply and solution... that worked like a charm..... just littile bit of changes i made like below:

// Ask a question about this product
if (VmConfig::get('ask_question', 0) == 1) {
$askquestion_url = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&task=askquestion&virtuemart_product_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_category_id . '&tmpl=component', FALSE);

echo '<div class="ask-a-question">';
echo '<a class="ask-a-question" href="' . $askquestion_url . '" rel="nofollow" >' . vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ENQUIRY_LBL') . '</a>';
echo '</div>';

}

it works now but another problem is, it doesnt open the ask form in pop up window... it opens in same window... what could be the solution to make it open in pop up? please help me.

Dear sir,

In file: templates\sj_market\html\com_virtuemart\sublayouts\askrecomjs.php and find:
$('a.ask-a-question, a.printModal, a.recommened-to-friend, a.manuModal').click(function(event){

=> Edit to:
$('a.question, a.printModal, a.recommened-to-friend, a.manuModal').click(function(event){

then go to the file:
templates\sj_market\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default.php
and find:

<a class="question" href="<?php echo $askquestion_url ?>" rel="nofollow" ><i class="fa fa-question-circle"></i><?php echo vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ENQUIRY_LBL') ?></a>
=> Edit to:
<a class="question" href="<?php echo $askquestion_url ?>" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 700, y: 850}}" ><i class="fa fa-question-circle"></i><?php echo vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ENQUIRY_LBL') ?></a>

Thanks & regards!
