Image thumbnail on My Cart pop up not showing

Hello to all,

Template: bikestore
joomla version: 2.5.9
virtuemart version: 2.0.20b
Temporary url of the eshop: http://emmanuelaswimwear.insyst.info/index.php/eshop

If you add a product in the cart and select "My cart" pop up you should see a small thumbnail of the product. In my case this is not happening.
Let me state that all products have sku's and that I am using child products having various sizes (VM custom field with stock control).

Hi

I would need an access for some dummy user to see the cart. Please send it to me. But before that please update template and joomla to the latest version.

Hello...
Both joomla and the template are at the latest version.
You can add a product to the cart and see the cart from the top menu popup without the need to login with an account, but if you need one you can use (username:test pass:test)

Hi

I thought it was an old template version, because a similar issue was fixed some time ago. So if it's not than I need to ask for ftp access to check the cart module code.

Hello,

I have sent you a PM with ftp access details.

Hi

Which VM version are You using ? Looks like problem is becuase no informations about images are being picked up from database. Send me also an access to some mysql manager, so I'll check queries.

Based on the post of teitbite I have done some digging in the database and found the cause of the problem.
I am using products with custom fields (VM custom field with stock control plugin).
This way every product has some children with unique SKU's
When a child is added to the cart,its SKU is taken into account for the sql query to find the picture.
The problem is that in table "virtuemart_medias" only the pictures of the parent products are created.
So when it runs it does not find anything.

For administration issues, the possibility of having the same SKU for parent and child is not an option.

Since this is the case, the script of module cart has to be modified to check if there is a parent product and get the sku for the parent.

Now that things are clearer I hope someone can fix this bug.

Hi

Ok. I'm going to report this to programmers.

Thanks...
Waiting for their reply.

Hi

I've just got an answer:

this problem is becasue client has no SKU > defined for products. And first query in module based on this parameter so each time it is same value becasue
field is empty. I test it for two products in Hanging Toys category. So if client add SKU for prduct will have diffrent > images.

I have not noticed that, can You please check and add this SKU ?

As I have stated in my first post ALL products (parents & children) have SKUs.

The problem is:
I am using products with custom fields (VM custom field with stock control plugin).
This way every product has some children with unique SKU's (DIFFERENT FROM THE PARENT)
When a child is added to the cart,its SKU is taken into account for the sql query to find the picture.
The problem is that in table "virtuemart_medias" only the pictures of the parent products are created.
So when it runs it does not find anything.

To further clarify the issue: If I change a child's SKU to be the same as it's parents, then the picture shows up correctly.

Since this is the default virtuemart behaviour I propose for the sql to find the parents picture if there is one.

Hi

Ok. I pass this to programmers than.

Hi
