Why the ugly link URL?

[z-analysts]

Hi,
My home page consists of images that link to various menu items. I have a menu item defined to display all categories in VM. I have SEF configured for Joomla and VM but still get an ugly URL for the all categories link. Why? Why does VM append the /categories?virtuemart_category_id=0?

http://zclientdev.net/solfairtrade/fair-trade-products/categories?virtuemart_category_id=0

Joomla 2.5.11
VM 2.0.20b
PHP 5.3.16

Thank you!

I suppose it's a cache problem. In Joomla configuration, Cache should be set to Off, when using a shop component like VirtueMart.

My cache is turned off. I usually don't use any caching on my sites.

Global Configuration > System > Cache: OFF caching disabled.

What else could be causing it?

I'm not shure, but it has to do with your image, which links to:
...zclientdev.net/solfairtrade/fair-trade-products/categories?virtuemart_category_id=0

If you click on your 'Products' menu link, it loads the same page with this link instead:
...zclientdev.net/solfairtrade/fair-trade-products

Thanks, jjk!

The image link is nothing more than a JTree link to the menu item created by the JCE editor.
