how to override view.html.php file?

[rage76]

Dear Milbo

You will have to explain this in a better way. I am sorry but I didn't understand !!

[AH]

He asked to override the continue link, not creat his own link 

If he had asked to remove the link and create his own link then I would have suggested another option 

[Milbo]

Why he wants to override the continue link? and not just directly use the one he creates anyway?

$continue_link = JRoute::_ ('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category' . $categoryLink, FALSE);
to
$continue_link = JRoute::_ ('index.php' . $categoryLink, FALSE);
but it is not working. did I do anything wrong?

I just saw, that you are still appending the $categoryLink:
$continue_link = JRoute::_ ('index.php', FALSE);
might do the trick.

There is kind of a documentation for JRoute: http://docs.joomla.org/API17:JRoute, but I didn't really dig deaper to find out how JRoute really works and if you need it.
Well, this solution is kind of the fast lane, probably dirty in programmers eyes, but I am not a programmer. ;-)

So long
Stefan
