Post by: intellect on September 20, 2012, 12:06:45 PM
Hello,

When i go on the home page i get the category display also when i search the category display has priority over the search results. i know this will be somthing very simple but i just cant find it. ive looked in modules and its not in there.

Could do with a fix ASAP.

Thanks
Jake.

Hello,

First didn't tell us your vm, joomla, php version. Secondly, i try to make a search but i receive the following error: The chosen template couldnt found on the filesystem: Skylab

So, you could ask also your template provider about that.

Regards

Hello,

Inside your custom vm template folder you could load child categories after. If take a look inside category\default.php for example you will see that first the child categories is been shown, after the search box and last the products, so you could edit that file inside your custom template and display first search box, then products and last child categories, but this will also affect the when browsing categories and child categories.
An other solution is to not show categories inside product pages inside category layout but only in vm frontpage (this can be configured from the BE).

Regards
