Category thumbnails dont link to category pages

[voidkun]

okay ive got a weird problem i cant seem to fix, in the category views of my site are the category thumbnails but i cannot click on images themselves, to go to the sub category I have to click on name which is massively annoying.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  dont think its a option i missed, maybe just need to edit the view file.

In default VirtueMart 2.0.22a the category images are clickable, as they have been in previous versions. You are using a commercial template where the template overrides are coded differently so do not have that function.

Compare your override file which will be  [your-Joomla-template]/html/com_virtuemart/categories/default.php  (although it is just possible that the template devlopers used a different name for that file)  with the default file at components/com_virtuemart/views/categories/tmpl/default.php to see what changes to make to the override file code.

If you cannot work it out ask the template developers. See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=108212.0

Bwahahaha, got it to work.

if anyone else has this problem you need to make sure the Category link section looks like this:


// Category Link
       $caturl = JRoute::_ ( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=' . $category->virtuemart_category_id , FALSE);

          // Show Category ?>
          <div class="category floatleft<?php echo $category_cellwidth . $show_vertical_separator ?>">
             <div class="spacer">
                <h2>
                   <a href="<?php echo $caturl ?>" title="<?php echo $category->category_name ?>">
                   <?php echo $category->category_name ?>
                   <br />
                   <?php // if ($category->ids) {
                      echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb("",false);
                   //} ?>
                   </a>
                </h2>
             </div>
          </div>
       <?php
       $iCategory ++;
