I have one of the two following 'info' messages on every page of my website:
- Info: Assign the component VirtueMart to a menu item
Info: CO
M_VIRTUEMART_ASSIGN_VM_TO_MENU
This occurred after I deleted a menu that had previously been assigned to Virtumart. I deleted the menu from the waste bin as well but the message will not go away.
I'm using virtuemart.2.0.10 - maximenuck_6.0.14_j25 - Joomla 2.5.6[/font]

Hi imageinaction,
Not sure where the confusion here is.
Info: Assign the component VirtueMart to a menu item
-- what you should do is assign the component VirtueMart to a menu item
It'll use this menu item to generate the SEF URL.
Thanks for a very speedy reply. My problem is that I wanted to 'de-assign' this particular menu item, I had applied an alternative assignment to this menu when these errors appeared. I then deleted the offending menu and created a new one but the error is still there???
Any advise you can offer will be great! :-[
Like the instruction says... assign it to a menu. It has to be done in order to get rid of the message. What part of this is confusing?
If you don't want the menu to show, create a new Menu called HIDDEN, and then create an item in that. LEAVE IT ALONE... don't assign it to any pages or modules.
That did the trick ... Thanks
Hi,
I checked the suggestion and created a menu called 'HIDDEN', but now my urls are now showing as the following:
www.website.com/hidden/categoryname/productdetail
Does anyone know how to remove the 'hidden' section from the url?
Many thanks
Nooooooo... Standard Joomla technique. Create a new menu - like main or user - and call it hidden, create a module for that menu and assign it to a non-existent user position on your Joomla template. Then add your menu item/link to that hidden menu. It is published in the sytem but not visible.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I think I'm getting confused somewhere.
At the moment I have created a 'HIDDEN' menu. Now when I click on 'Menus' - 'Menu Manager' I can see:
'Main Menu', 'Footer Menu', 'Mobile Menu', 'User Menu' and 'Hidden'.
After creating 'Hidden', I went to 'Extensions' - 'Module Manager'.
Here I created a new module called 'HIDDEN' - the position is 'banner1', the type is 'Menu' and the status is 'Published'.
I then went to 'Menus' selected the 'HIDDEN' menu and clicked on 'Add New Menu Item'. I assigned a Virtuemart -> Category Layout to this.
But unfortunately, as the position that this menu is assigned to is not used, the menu does not appear.
I feel that I am doing something wrong - can someone please help?
Many thanks
This thread was about hiding an assigned menu item - but you seem to want to actually show a menu item? That's what can happen when you hijack a thread about something else.
The only menu item you usually need for VirtueMart should be a main menu link to the VirtueMart front page, maybe called something like "Shop".
