Category Listing: I don´t want to see the products

[piru]

Hi,

I updated Virtuemart to 2.6.6 (I had an old version, I don´t know more which one).
I made the changes in the file components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php again, but now, I don´t see the images and category name not more. The problem ist not this changes, because I change the file with the original and I don´t see the categories either.
Hier 2 images, one how I saw this before the update (right: categories.jpg), and how I see this now after the update (wrong: categories_2.jpg).

If this help, hier the code from the file:

Hi,

this is weird. It seems that VirtueMart found no children in the category. Please, check the hierarchy of categories (in admin), if everything is ok.

Pavel

[piru]

Hi Pavel,

in Admin is all right (you can see the image). You can see at the site the categories at the left side, and you can clic in the category and see the products...

Hi piru,

I probably found the problem and I even found that hack in the template that you use to hide the products is completely unnecessary ;-)... Before, I did not notice that there is a special layout for this :-/...

In VirtueMart 2.6 was changed the code for loading subcategories. In this version is not possible show subcategories in the Top Level Category if you have not set category layout "categories". Category layout can be set in the VM configuration (tab Templates -> field: Category Layout), or in a category (field: Category Browse Page) or in the Menu Item (field: Page Layout). This new condition is weird and maybe it's a bug.

However, what is definitely a bug that this does not work if category layout is set in the menu item (you just need this). I have fix for this. It is necessary to move a few lines of code...

/components/com_virtuemart/views/category/view.html.php

FROM

Code Select Expand


225 $menus = $app->getMenu();
. $menu = $menus->getActive();
. if(!empty($menu->query['categorylayout']) and $menu->query['virtuemart_category_id']==$categoryId){
. $category->category_layout = $menu->query['categorylayout'];
229 }


TO

Code Select Expand


91 if($categoryId!==-1){
. $vendorId = 1;
. $category = $categoryModel->getCategory($categoryId);
.
. // Insert here
. $menus = $app->getMenu();
. $menu = $menus->getActive();
. if(!empty($menu->query['categorylayout']) and $menu->query['virtuemart_category_id']==$categoryId){
. $category->category_layout = $menu->query['categorylayout'];
. }
101 }


Now, if you set category layout in menu item for your Products link to "categories" you don't need anymore hack from previous posts in this thread.

Hi Pavel,

I didn´t understand a thing, I have to change a code, doesn´t matter which option I choose?
Or if I make Menu Item (field: Page Layout) I have not to change the code?.

I tested the other 2 options but without change a code (I didn´t do it) I see the categories but without products. I want to try the option Menu Item (field: Page Layout), but I don´t know wo I can find this... sorry. Wichone is Menu Item?

Thanks!
piru

[piru]

I just find what you mind with Menu Item (field: Page Layout), I tried but there is no change.
I think I have to change the code... I will try

[byPV]

You need to set the layout for the category Top Level Category and it can be set in two ways:

Option 1) In VM configuration set globally "Category Layout" to "categories". And in each category, set the "Category Browse Page" to "default". Annoying, but it will probably work ;-).

Option 2) Set the "Page Layout" in the Menu Item, but there is a bug and must be fixed as I wrote in the previous post.

P.

[piru]

I did the Option 2) and it works, thanks!!!

Best regards
piru

[piru]

I had to change again  "Page Layout" in the Menu Item to default, because with  "Page Layout" in the Menu Item --> categories, doesn´t work the search... 

[byPV]

OMG, I forgot about this. This is terrible. One bug fixed and more will appear :-(. In this case, the only option is probably to load the categories in the template.

I'll write the code for it.

[piru]

should I upload again the original code from /components/com_virtuemart/views/category/view.html.php?

Thank you so much for all. Maybe I will no make today more changes because I have to work only 20 minutes more

It is up to you. I believe that the fix is ​​correct, but you do not need it now ;-).

[piru]

wich fix?

[byPV]

Ok, here's the code for load categories.

Insert the following lines (between FIX BEGIN and FIX END) into the layout "components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php" at the beginning of the file:

...
...

$js = "

";

// FIX BEGIN: Load the categories in Top Level Category

if (!empty($this->category) && $this->category->virtuemart_category_id == 0 && empty($this->category->children))
{
$categoryModel = VmModel::getModel('category');
$this->category->children = $categoryModel->getChildCategoryList(1, $this->category->virtuemart_category_id, $categoryModel->getDefaultOrdering(), $categoryModel->_selectedOrderingDir);
$this->category->haschildren = !empty($this->category->children);
$categoryModel->addImages($this->category->children, 1);
}

// FIX END

$document = JFactory::getDocument ();
$document->addScriptDeclaration ($js);

Remember to include a condition to hide the products again.

ad Fix for Menu Item)

This was fix for bug with Page Layout which VM ignores, but if you don't use it, so you don't need it. You can revert to original script safely.

P.

[piru]

I will make this tomorrow, I have to go now.
But I have to ask you:

I will change the code between FIX BEGIN and FIX END (understood)

But this I didn´t understand:
