Category Layout: How to make appear the "orderlistcontainer"?

[Mister Paul]

Hi,

sorry for this newbie question, but I can't manage that now...

I made a Virtuemart Category Layout Menu item.
It's fine but there's no "orderlistcontainer"...

How could I make it appear?
Something to check somewhere?
I just can't find it.


Thanks for your help
Paul

OrderListContainer ?? in category ??

What is it used for ?

It's made to sort the products from a displayed category

I don't know how I could make it appear...

To answer you:
"orderlistcontainer" is the a class name. And the main div class name of this part is "orderby-displaynumber"
Perhaps "sortlistcontainer" or "sortby-displaynumber" would be more clear. ;-)
But don't know if it comes from my template...

I have not seen it in my template. I suspect this is specific to Your template.

If i remeber correctly you can turn on an off ordering under configurations for VM.

It's strange because I have menu items that were made 10 years ago and the get this tool to sort products from the displayed category

But know I can't make it appear...

in the standard category default.php there is no switch or setting for it

the code is

Code Select Expand

if(!empty($this->orderByList)) { ?>
<div class="orderby-displaynumber">
<div class="floatleft vm-order-list">
<?php echo $this->orderByList['orderby']; ?>
<?php echo $this->orderByList['manufacturer']; ?>
</div>
<div class="vm-pagination vm-pagination-top">
<?php echo $this->vmPagination->getPagesLinks (); ?>
<span class="vm-page-counter"><?php echo $this->vmPagination->getPagesCounter (); ?></span>
</div>
<div class="floatright display-number"><?php echo $this->vmPagination->getResultsCounter ();?><br/><?php echo $this->vmPagination->getLimitBox ($this->category->limit_list_step); ?></div>

<div class="clear"></div>
</div> <!-- end of orderby-displaynumber -->
<?php } ?>

so look in your over ride at the code

if(!empty($this->orderByList)) {   means that u have chosen some orderby parameters

I have the same behaviour on my "old" pages with Protostar and Beez3

I'll check...
But don't understand why I don't have any parameter when I create a new VM category menu item...

[Jörgen]

Mixed up the navigation bar with Your sort function.
Found this in my template though.
Any js screwing this up on your site?

[Mister Paul]

OK I'll check that...
Thanks

[Mister Paul]

Thank you all
I did some override a long time ago and didn't remember it
I added some code to avoid the sortby if there was at least a subcategory (why?):

Code Select Expand

if (empty($this->category->haschildren)) {
...
}

That's why the sortby wasn't allways there...

Really sorry for disturbance


Paul
