VM manual ordering of categories stopped to work after update to 2.0.24a.

I also have the same problem as simbus82.
I have replaced what you suggest in the overide files and still have blank page on menu item leading to categories.
Should i do the same replacement in core files too?

Ordering works but yes, there's again something wrong. Menu items ( or categories on the VM front page) which were assigned to Virtuemart Categories Layout lead to blank page...I have no any overrides. I updated the VM core and the AIO...

Ordering works in admin BUT in module VM Categories the categories are sorted alphabetically

I think I wrote the answer here http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=120375.msg410105#msg410105

Thank you Milbo, works.

i have no overrides and the ordering seems to be all set back to normal in the back end with numbers again I have done the save but it is not changing and is still alphabetical . Dont think I will be so quick to update next time.

Did you delete your cache? Did you store it in the vm config? it is maybe using an old config value.

Upgrade to 2.0.24b, I found in the 'default category sort order' has a COM_VIRTUEMART_CATEGORY_SHARED option, which is useful for?

[Milbo]

this is for multivendor, yeh I should do a check there, right.

The 2.0.24b patch solved my problems with the category ordering problems and saving the order. I only had to set again the category order in the configuration. Thanks!

Ordering problem is not solved here, even with upgrade to 2.0.24b. Are you still working on that issue or is it considered as solved?

[Milbo]

philphil987 which ordering problem. Sorry you must be more specific and detailed. Do you mean the ordering of products or categories. Which configution is set? Do you use 3rd party extensions, which maybe change the ordering? Do you mean the ordering of the categories in the BE? the moving of categories in the BE, there are so many different orderings.

[philphil987]

Hi Milbo, sorry for being imprecise…. Since the update I have the problem with ordering categories. They are displayed in alphabetical order in frontend, even though in backend I have the same ordering than before the update (which is not alphabetically).
Regarding configuration, what do you mean exactly? I have Joomla! 2.5.16 and Virtuemart 2.0.24b.
Regarding 3rd party extension, I have a few components such as Acymailing, Freestyle FAQs, ReDJ, Xmap, But they were all there before the update.

Check these options in config

Yes thanks, I already did a lot of testing with that functionality, without success..... But now, suddenly IT WORKS!!! Thanks mate! Probably I had some pages cached by the browsers....
