Categories of the products don't work

Hello,

Templa Quark e-commerce, virtuemart.
Under the Shop menu button we have 2 main categories of products (like it is in template). Under main categories there should be some categories more - not in menu, but if we already chose one of the main categories. All the categoris are activated in admin and at the beginning they were visible in the online shop as well. But then one of the administrators did something and now the picture like this:

If I activate showing categories, so they become visible only in one of the main categories. If I choose then one of them, so there are no products under it (all the products are separated between categories and are visible without selecting the category).

What can be the reason? How can we fix this problem? We need: under main categories are additional categories, under additional categories are the products.

Kind regards,
A.

Hi

I'm afraid I do not understand. Can You please attach this screenshot or tell me the url to Your site ?

Hi,

http://dalanre.com/shop/

and if you put the link like this: http://www.dalanre.com/shop/cushions , so you can see the categories of the cushions as well. But only this way and without products inside

Hi,

Wait your answer very much because we can not open the shop with this problem.


Kind regards,
A.

I fixed the problem with products inside of category.
Now the Curtains category is ok: http://www.dalanre.com/shop/products/curtains
But still there are no categories in the "Cushions": http://www.dalanre.com/shop/products/cushions , which you can see here: http://www.dalanre.com/shop/cushions

Where can be a mistake?

Hi

Please do not bump Your own post. It rewrites date and moves Your question at the end of the line. Virtuemart has a layout to display categories and other layout to show products inside one category. There is no option to show both at the same time. So the way its now is the proper one.

Hi,
Ok, now I know about the posts.

But I think you didn't understand the question - at the beginning additional categories worked worked in both of the main categories (cushions and curtains). But then the administrator did something and now only the curtains category works well, with showing additional categories. So I know that the way it works now is not the right one.

I'll try to explain: we have 2 main categories: Cushions and Curtains.
Both of them have inside additional categories. But at the moment they are visible only in Curtains.
Please take a look at links of the main categories:
Curtains. The additional categories are visible: http://dalanre.com/shop/products/curtains
Cushions. The additional categories are not visible: http://dalanre.com/shop/products/cushions

Hi

Ok. Please send me an access to joomla panel. I'm not a VM expert but I'll take a look.

I wrote a private message to you how to access.

Hi

"Show categories" in menu item settings for Cushions was not enabled. Works now.

Could you look one another thing as well please? If there are a few pages of the goods in the shop, so I can not put the Next page (or the 2nd, 3d, ... pages). It shows only the first page. May be you will see in the panel why?

For this I need an access to FTP. But please make a small test and rename /html/com_virtuemart to /html/_com_virtuemart and let me know if pagination works than. If not than try switch to a default joomla template and check. This may be VM problem.

I renamed it but the result was strange, not the right one.
What do you mean to switch to a default joomla template?

Hi

This is just to test if this will work, but as You've noticed will destroy layout. That's normal. Please simply send me an access to FTP so I'll try it myself.

Hi

I've informed programmers about this issue and send them Your access to site and ftp. Will inform You as soon as they will figure that out.

Hi

Programmers has fixed it by editing file gk_quark/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php and replacing line:

Code: Select all

    <?php echo str_replace('</ul>', '<li class="counter">'.$this->vmPagination->getPagesCounter().'</li></ul>', $this->vmPagination->getPagesLinks()); ?>


with

Code: Select all

    <?php echo str_replace(array('</ul>', '&amp;start='), array('<li class="counter">'.$this->vmPagination->getPagesCounter().'</li></ul>', '&amp;limitstart='), $this->vmPagination->getPagesLinks()); ?>


Soon packages will be updated with this fix.

Thank you!

Hi

I've just got a signal that all the packages was updated with this fix and will be soon available for download. So anyone having same problem please update Your template to the latest version.
