I've noticed that the first page of search results with VM Search & sh404SEF works fine.  But if you have results that extend to more than one page, and you click number 2, 3, etc or "next" then you will get seemingly random results (which are not random at all, but from some other user's previous search that got written to the SEF URL table).

Has anyone else noticed this problem, and if so, have you found a way to overcome it?  Can you override SEO on the search function somehow?  I thought I had everything working great with 1.1 and sh404SEF until I found this.

FYI - I'm using .htaccess version of sh404SEF.

Is anyone else able to get Pagination to work properly with J! 1.5.3, VM 1.1 and sh404SEF??

Hello

Yes, i set all this as custom URL's:

alle-produkte-1-10.html      
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=54&category_id=0&keyword=0&lang=en&limit=10&limitstart=0&manufacturer_id=0&page=shop.browse
alle-produkte-1-15.html    
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=54&category_id=0&keyword=0&lang=en&limit=15&limitstart=0&manufacturer_id=0&page=shop.browse
alle-produkte-1-20.html    
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=54&category_id=0&keyword=0&lang=en&limit=20&limitstart=0&manufacturer_id=0&page=shop.browse

and so on. But i have to disable all the ordering functions (Newest Product, Price).

I hope, this helps a little.

Thanks, but either I don't follow or that doesn't work for me.  Surely there is someone who is getting SEF URLs to work with VirtueMart completely.  This is such an important issue. 

Is *anyone* getting sh404SEF to work with pagination, etc in VirtueMart 1.1 who has multiple products and multiple categories??

[FavoriteU]

Pagination appears to work in the latest build of sh404SEF for Joomla 1.5 (build 112).  The keywords and order parameters are listed after the SEO URL, which so far produces accurate results.

There is a slight issue with the archive of the 112 build for J! 1.5, the changelog.txt file was left out of the archive, so you until that is fixed you will have to add a blank text file (changelog.txt) to the archive before installing through Joomla.

hi everybody,

new to this forum but maybe I can help.

after scratching my head for a long time because of virtuemart search module and SEO , I found this solution for Joomla 1.x, virtuemart 1.1 and sh404 1.31

first, in sh404, I disabled the SEO for the search module only.

locate this file:  components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_virtuemart.php

at line 188:       

 if (empty($product_id) && empty($category_id) && empty($manufacturer_id) && empty($Search)
          && empty($root)) {
        $title[] = $sh_LANG[$shLangIso]['_PHPSHOP_LIST_ALL_SHOP_PRODUCTS'];
 }

replaced by :

 if (empty($product_id) && empty($product_type_id) && empty($category_id) && empty($manufacturer_id) && empty($Search)
          && empty($root)) {
        $title[] = $sh_LANG[$shLangIso]['_PHPSHOP_LIST_ALL_SHOP_PRODUCTS'];
 }


2 - to fix the problem with order_by, next pages, and order ASC/DES listing,

locate this file : components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse/includes/browse_orderbyform.tpl.php

at line 30 :

if( !empty( $product_type_id )) {
   echo $ps_product_type->get_parameter_form($product_type_id);
}

replaced by :

if( !empty( $product_type_id )) {
   echo '<input type="hidden" name="product_type_id" value="'.$product_type_id.'" />';
   echo $ps_product_type->get_parameter_form($product_type_id);
}

3 last but not least : to make the button "modify prameters" appear again !

locate this file : administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.browse.php

at line 148:

$parameter_form = $tpl->fetch( 'browse/includes/browse_searchparameterform.tpl.php' );

replaced by :

$parameter_form = $tpl->fetch( 'browse/includes/browse_searchparameter_form.tpl.php' );

that's it.

hope it helps...

regards from france ;-).

Hi dancetools,
Does this hack apply to sh404SEF-15_1.0.5_Beta_build_120.joomla1.5.x?
Maybe you will be interested in this matter: Link.
Thanks

[dancetools]

Hi korb,

after lookin' in the code of sh404sef 15_1.04beta,
I should answer YES ! it's the same Rev. [V 1.2.4.m]  for this "shop.browse" section.

so backup your file and try it ;-)

ps: just a question; Do you think SEF rewriting is so important for search mode in Virtuemart ?

cheers.
Laurent.

[korb]

yes it is important, because I don't want my clients to see in the link com_virtuemart.
Ciao

[korb]

hei dancetools, it works! it appears again. Thank you!
I must hack this even further:
I want the search form to be always shown when I browse a VM category that is actualy a product type variation, like a product type to define all products in that category.
Thanks again

[p9939068]

Hi dancetools, I tried your hack but it doesn't seem to work (trying to fix next/prev page and order by problem). I'm curious, why will adding a hidden input type fix the problem? Also, when is browse_orderbyform.php called? Maybe I should add the hidden field on another file?

I'm using J! 1.0.15 and VM 1.1 too. I've made all 3 hacks you mentioned. Hope you can shed some light

[dlux]

Same situation...

I find this topic today and I looking into the referred files, and these are already have dancetools suggestion. Maybe this comes with VM liveupdate.

But every pagination link ends: Page-1-.html
I'm using Joomla! 1.0.15 and VM 1.1.2

So many post about VM SEF pagination problem here, and on SH404 forum - and I can not find the right way. If anybody know the solution, plase post here.

Thank you.

[dancetools]

hi everybody,

finally I fixed this weird issue of virtuemart pagination with sh404sef.

tested in (joomla 1.0.13 and virtuemart 1.1.1 ), for other version it should give you some ideas how to fix.

in fact the problems was coming from virtuemart itself, not from shumisha's component.  ;-)

ok let's go.

1) locate this file : administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/pageNavigation.class.php
around line 108 :

for virtuemart 1.1.1 only ( it appears to be fixed in virtuemart 1.1.2 using vmRoute url function)

Code:

function getPagesLinks($link='') {
../...
}

sefRelToAbs url fonction must be used to build sef url ! ( vmRoute in virtuemart 1.1.2 )

last but not least :
don't forget to activate "Using Items per page drop-down list" in sh404 virtuemart plugin.

in case it doesn't work for other version of joomla and virtuemart, maybe  you should use vmRoute in place of sefRelToAbs function

hope this help some of you...

[dancetools]

hi again,

for joomla 1.5.7 and virtuemart 1.1.2

after trying to apply these patches, I encountered sh404 limit security error + bad page navigation number.

I found this solution, despite the fact that you must use  vmRoute in place of sefRelToAbs function ( see my previous post )

1) locate this file : administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/pageNavigation.class.php

replace the shumisa's function getLimitBox hack by the old one   

Code:

  /**
   * Modified by shumisha to handle SEF URLs 2008-06-28
   * @return string The html for the limit # input box
   */
   
  function getLimitBox ( $link = '') {
    $limits = array();

    if (!empty($link) && strpos( 'limitstart=', $link) === false) {  // insert limitstart in url if missing // shumisha
      $link .= '&limitstart='.$this->limitstart;
    }
    for ($i=5; $i <= 30; $i+=5) {
      if (empty( $link)) {
        $limits[$i] = $i;
      } else {
        $limits[vmRoute($link.'&limit='.$i)] = $i;
      }
    }
    if (empty( $link)) {
      $limits[50] = 50;
    } else {
      $limits[vmRoute($link.'&limit=50')] = 50;
    }

    // build the html select list
    if (empty( $link)) {
    $html = ps_html::selectList( 'limit', $this->limit, $limits, 1, '',  'onchange="this.form.submit();"' );
    } else {
      $current = vmRoute($link.'&limit='.$this->limit);
      $html = ps_html::selectList( 'limit', $current, $limits, 1, '',  'onchange="location.href=this.value"' );
    }
    $html .= "\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"limitstart\" value=\"$this->limitstart\" />";
    return $html;
  }

 

replaced by:

Code:

function getLimitBox () {
$limits = array();
for ($i=5; $i <= 30; $i+=5) {
$limits[$i] = $i;
}
$limits[50] = 50;

// build the html select list
$html = ps_html::selectList( 'limit', $this->limit, $limits, 1, '',  'onchange="this.form.submit();"' );
$html .= "\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"limitstart\" value=\"$this->limitstart\" />";
return $html;
}

it works great... at least for me 
cordially
Laurent

Dancetools,

Thank you so much!  I've had this problem for awhile and had no clue wtf the problem was.  I bow to your superior knowledge :-D
