Empty category with "Virtuemart Category"-module

[jimiverhaegen]

Hi,

I am working on my first webshop with Virtuemart and I have to say it's a smooth experience. But I have ran into a few small problems.

I have activated the "Virtuemart Category"-module and put it at the left side of the website. It works like a charm because I can see all the top level categories and I can click on the first two categories. But when I click on the last category, "Valentijn", I get no results. Even though there are 27 articles in this category.

The category "Valentijn" has exactly the same settings as the other categories.


Another problem is the pagination. When I click on a category and go to the second page, I can't go back to the first page. Peter Pillen's "dirty workaround" works, but is still dirty and makes it harder to upgrade Joomla in the future. https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=112075.msg376934#msg376934

The problems stay when switching templates. (Current template: excite)
The problems do go away, however, when SEF is disabled.

Thanks in advance!

Another problem is the pagination.

- discussed here often - it appears to be a Joomla problem and will hopefully be fixed in J3.4

re Valentijn - double check that all products are "available" for public etc

during dev leave all sef off - it makes troubleshooting possible - with on who knows where the urls are leading

Thanks for the reply and thanks for the SEF-tip.

All the products of the "Valentijn"-category are available to public.

When I use the URL http://jethearts.com/mj/index.php/valentijn/orage-breekhartje-457-detail?start=0 it shows the product and the correct breadcrumb navigation.
What happens if you add your valentijn category to the top menu. You do not have valentijn in that menu.

The breadcrumb is fine, but the pagination of the categories is not working properly.

I added Valentijn to the top navigation menu as well and it works now! Thanks for the tip! And if the customer doesn't want Valentijn to be in the top navigation I can always hide it with CSS  .

...the pagination of the categories is not working properly.

That's a Joomla 3.3.6 bug. You could probably use a Joomla 3.4dev nightly build to solve that problem. http://developer.joomla.org/cms-packages/

Alright, I think it's fixed now! And I put "Valentijn" in an invisible menu and it works great.
