i do have a question for you klutzon, if i have the virtue mart module running on the my page, like in the right position, and i am on the home page for my site, when i click on a category or product, the redirect takes me to the category or product and uses my home template to display the info. this is confusing, lets say i have a slideshow module i only want to show on my home page ok, now if you are on the home page when you click the category link, the store comes up and the slideshow is open, what i have done is created a link in my menu to go to the category i want them to go to and added Itemid=200&vmcchk=1&Itemid=200 this to the link so it looks at item 200 (which dont exist) to get the modules for the page. does all this make sense, i dont want the slideshow and stuff to show when i click the info in the virtuemart module but it does, so i disabled the module and use direct links, which blows.
