Missing product info (VM 1.1RC3 J1.5)

[Robin.Hood]

I've installed VM 1.1.0_RC3 on J1.5 using sample data.   All settings left as per default.

When a category is selected on the front end, no products are displayed. The correct number of products is displayed (e.g., Results 1 - 3 of 3) but no product info at all. The admin section correctly lists categories and their products, products are all published.  Component installed first, then 1.1.0_RC3 module.

Any suggestions and/or assistance appreciated!

VirtueMart 1.1 RC3 is under testing to identify and repair any bugs that are still present before final release of 1.1 stable. If you believe you have identified a bug in VirtueMart 1.1 RC3 please report this in the Quality & Testing forum using this template:
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=31709.0

Please try the latest VM1.1 RC3 build: http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/doc.do?doc_id=1328

This Release Candidate is not yet ready for use in live production sites.

I'll post this in the bug tracker but for those interested I found a hack to solve the problem.  My category template file wasn't being opened. To correct this I changed a cache call in the file browse_notables.tpl.php:

   echo $this->fetch_cache( 'browse/'.$templatefile .'.php' );

to this:

   echo $this->fetch( 'browse/'.$templatefile .'.php' );

I have the same problem:
http://www.smoldersjachtontwerp.nl/index.php/webwinkel?page=shop.browse&category_id=1l
The sample data is installed, nothing was changed. (upgraded to Joomla 1.5.2, problem still there)

That is reported in the bug tracker, under "Multiple products not shown" Unfortunately, i can't reach the bug tracker (error 500, 8 april 9:15 CET).

Since 'm not a programmer, hopefully this will be incorporated in the next RC or Nightly Build. Robin Hood, thanks for the fix.

p.s. I like VirtueMart, can't wait for a version which fixes this item.

I can not duplicate this, everything works as expected, do you guys have other extensions installed or changes made to Joomla or VM

I have upgraded to Joomla 1.5.2. Problem still there.
The only settings I have changed are: Sef URL on, legacy mode on, language: Dutch.
I did try to install AcaJoom. (Now uninstalled, because of No input file error when Sef URl=ON)

The provider I use is very joomla friendly, and they even donate to Joomla. But they still do not recommend it to upgrade to joomla 1.5.x. Since the problem seems to affect just a few people, perhaps it's provider related?
Please let me know if I can send you usefull information.

Just installed the latest verion of 1.1 RC3. (20080329) No luck, problem still there.

Joomla 1.5.x SEF does not work properly with VirtueMart, so should be turned off. VirtueMart does not need legacy mode on as it runs native. Also make sure that Joomla's cache is turned off as this can prevent product display.

As well as RC3 update did you update to the latest Dutch language file?  http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/doc.do?doc_id=1328

[Geert-Jan]

It works! I turned the Cache off in Joomla. (thanks jenkinhill!) and the products are now visible!

SEF URL is still on btw: all seems to work well. Will start entering my own data, if it stops working I will let you know.
