Title: MultiView Options on front End are showing all Three options at once
Post by: jtchurch22 on November 23, 2012, 16:57:58 PM
Let me explain the best i can, In my install of virtuemart when a customer goes to a product page they have the option to choose 1 of 3 layouts, For some reason mine is showing all 3 at the same time.... I have tried all that I know how to do. Any help would be great.

Current version is 2.0.14 but it's been problem for a few versions now.
the link is https://mygerbs.net/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=22

also the page navigation tabs are messed up a bit and don't exactly display properly.

Hello,

This is an issue of your commercial third party template (propably template monster) and you should ask them for that because we are not aware what the have done inside that template. Also some issues also caused by your joomla template because overrides some vm css styling for your commercial template.

Please read the following: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=108212.0

Use firebug to examine your site code and css styling: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102850.0

Sorry for not having an answer on that but as you understand this is caused by your commercial template. Please ask your template vendor is have an updated version on the version of vm2 your are using (e.g. 2.0.12f or 2.0.14).

Regards

thank you for that quick response, I don't know if its the template, I have a few sites that use that same one and they all display fine, I just don't know whey this one is having a problem, Is there a specific file in virtuemart or the template that I should or can swap for the original file, Perhaps i changed something along the way.

Hello,

As i told you is causing because of your custom template or mess around with your joomla template, again this have to do with joomla template overrides and your custom template, the best way is to try without joomla template overrides and use beez20 for example, if your commercial vm2 template works fine then use firebug to examine your custom joomla template and find where that issues take place.

If you swap the files with vm2 orignal template files you will loose all that functionality your custom template haves. You have to check with firebug as i already tell you and correct the issues inside your joomla custom template and vm2 custom template, need some programming skills and CSS styling. But as i told you you have to ask your template provider (template monster) that you have purchase that template ... i don't own this template and i cannot help you on that because i don't know what code changes have inside and how is working.

Regards

Take a look again on your site using firebig and it seems that is a jquery conflict and does not hide the rest of the two tabs when selecting a view option:

QuoteTypeError: $j(...).tabs is not a function
[Break On This Error]    

expires: 1
So, you can solve it by solving your js conflict ... but again i think is related to your joomla and custom vm2 temaplate:
Javascript conflicts:

Some more information rega

I am new to the joomla/virtuemart world, usually i build from scratch, I have no idea how to solve that problem :( What would be the easiest way to go about eliminating that issue. this is the only install of this theme that is having the issue.

Hello,

As i told you this is caused because your system cannot find the tab script that this template monster theme haves ... so you could ask template monster about that because it's obvious that mess with jquery.
QuoteTypeError: $j(...).tabs is not a function [Break On This Error]    

What i can suggest you is to unload vm2 jquery from loading and load another version of jquery, from your template options or by using any third party jquery loader like jquery easy and load only one jquery library http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/performance/jquery-scripts/18327

prefer the version 1.7.x

btw, did you ask template monster? You have pay some money over there and support should be included...
