Title: Virtuemart Featured Products Module (Joomla) placement & orientation
Post by: chae on November 05, 2012, 03:11:22 AM
Hi Yah,
New to VirtueMart 2 & this is the first time using it with Joomla. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out when I have the "Module VirtueMart Products" set to position-26 on all pages throughout the site, the home page shows the featured product in a vertical layout yet on all other pages the module is assigned to shows the correct horizontal layout. There's also an issue trying to get the module to show in the same position which it should do is the module is set in the same spot on all pages...

The web sites still being worked on so you can see what I mean by going to:  http://208.101.46.230/~mongoose/
Home page shows it located properly but wrong orientation

http://208.101.46.230/~mongoose/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=1&Itemid=225
Shows correct position & correct orientation

http://208.101.46.230/~mongoose/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=2&virtuemart_category_id=1&Itemid=225
Shows correct orientation but wrong position

Totally lost as to why virtuemart is doing that, and light shed on this would be grateful

Regards

Chae

No worries - the problem still hasn't been solved so I've had to add a placeholder table in a custom html module & the client can add the appropriate product thumbnails & link back to a menu item.

Control of module positioing is handled by Joomla, not VirtueMart, and a change of module appearance may be related to different css or js file loading on those pages. Tricky to identify exactly.

I might be having a similar problem.
Loading a Product Category Module into an article is giving me a single row instead of the 4 I have set.
The strange thing is that it was initially displaying just fine, but became 1 row at a certain point...
