Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Force canonical category does ...

Last post by Can.Y - Today at 11:11:52 AM

Environment
VM 4.2.0.10905
Joomla 4.3.4

Hi, I have a problem when using VM4 canonical tag:
1. A child product is not assigned to any categories. (While the parent product assigned to one or more categories.)
2. The "Force canonical category" of this child product is set. (While the parent product also has a 'force canonical category' set)
3. The only 2 ways for customers to access this child product detail page.
   A) By switching the corresponding param of the variate on the parent product detail page, or
   B) By entering keywords in the site search filter.
4. However, when browsing this child product detail page and checking the source code, the value of the canonical tag URL changes along with the browser URL (the same content in different categories) instead of generating the canonical tag URL from the "Force canonical category"

(The attached images are the screenshots of the source code of the same product detailed page from two different browser URLs. And a screenshot of the product force canonical category setting.)

Thank you.

This started after I updated three sites to J5 and along with any other extensions that needed to be updated.
2 of the 3 sites only use VM for the cart. 1 site uses membership software and that site has no problems.

Hey, you are allowed to use the installer for your other sites. You can just not enter the membership key. the idea is, that your customers pay the 59 euro a year, not you. Or just buy next time a silvermembership, then you get 3 domains for a price of a bit more than 2. Just let your customers pay 50 euro a year for the membership and the whole thing is "free" for you.

Strange thing, it says view not found, but the view is clearly there (productdetails). You just posted the default url for updating a product.

You page cannot be browsed xxx.nl does not exist.

I've confirmed that the Quantity related price calculation from iStraxx IS the culprit!

Just for the chronic, that got fixed just a week later.

Sounds more so, that you did set a non existing position? Or do you mean, you edit it in the FE and then the textfield is empty?

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: URL with fake category bet...

Last post by Milbo - Yesterday at 23:16:52 PM

There are some topics about that already, maybe I should write a FAQ, there are "endless" valid urls for a canonical url.
If you use a product suffix at the end, you can enter waht you want between.

If you enter it correct, a product in different categories will show always the correct canonical, and then the url for the product in the NOT canonical URL.
So if the categories are fantasy, the last function does not work correct, we can just ignore that, because we are anyway in the "error happened area".

Templating & Layouts / character counter for meta box...

Last post by mehmesen - Yesterday at 14:32:05 PM

Hello

How can I put a character counter in the meta boxes (meta title, meta description) on the Virtuemart admin product adding page?

(Only visible on admin page)

Thanks

Example;

$simple = "$meta-title-box";
 
echo strlen($simple);
