"Categories" page layout displays as a blank page

[gtewks]

My site: http://wideawake.us.cloudlogin.co/

If you use menu item "VM Store" you can see the "front page" layout.  It works fine (except that only 7 products seem to show in "top ten") - not sure why.
However,
If you click on "civil war videos" in the dropdown menu.  You get a blank page.

I've tried all the other menu item layouts (ie: front page, vendors, shopping cart, etc)..  they all work.
but "Category Layout" & "Virtuemart Category Layout" both result in a blank page.

I've tried moving the menu item to a top level in case it had something to do with the dropdown.  No result.
I have tried assigning different categories to the menu item.  No change.

any ideas?

Hi when I roll over - your drop down Civil War videos-
is it supposed to go to the one page with jsut your videos on it and no right hand column shown?

If it is - you might add to the link .php  ie

the link now is :  http://wideawake.us.cloudlogin.co/index.php/vm-store/civil-war-videos

but you want ? http://wideawake.us.cloudlogin.co/index.php/vm-store/civil-war-videos.php
maybe?

Just wondering .   I presume that the front page is showing products and not categories?  So in that category of civil wars ( how many videos do you have)?
I think the home page setting is showing the top ten product bought and thus how many videos have been bought?
If your shop is new then you might not have a top ten? I'm just wondering if that list is generated yet? by the computer?
Or are you trying to show your category page and not one category list ( of products)

I don't think things are as complex as your asking.

As you can see if you click on the dropdown menu item.   No products display.
That's all I need fixed. 
That menu link is calling on a prouduct category (selected from the menu button interface)
Why are there no items displaying, even though there are certainly product within the category

My company is using VM1.1.9 on J1.5.25. I tried VM2.0.2 and got stuck where you are. This is my experience:

i tracked back to the query (it takes a while and complex query proccessing).

i tried that query on phpmyadmin, hopeless

Then, i read where parts, ... finally figured out VM treat users on its own types

You must saw the shoppers types.
          -default- is only for admin (NOT ANY products belong to this VISIBLE on front-end)
          anonymous (this is what i mean)

Solution:
Set all product shopper options to anonymous or leave them empty with shopper default is anonymous

Hope you enjoy your days without pain and living-liked feeling!

Hi ,

You should not have to set any shopping groups?

* be careful - if you create a  product , shipping setting and you then set them to a specific 'group settings' in VM then an normal buyer may not be able to purchase a certain product
or buy a certain product -

* When you see the option "select some option" - this should be left alone unless you specifically want a certain group to only buy that product.

rattonwing :   your solution might work this time but it may not work in the future -

* Unless - you have set in Joomla that all new registered users are automatically placed in the Anonymous group-

Default is not just admin - ...

I have the same problem with the page being blank. I checked that all the products are no assigned to any shopper groups. Is there any other way to fix it?
