Title: Error Message - The chosen template couldnt found on the filesystem:
Post by: IntrepidClassChicken on April 15, 2013, 08:54:34 AM
I kept getting this error on Category pages:

"The chosen template couldnt found on the filesystem:"

It happened when the Category Template setting was set to "Use Shop Default." That was easily fixed by specifying the actual template.

But now I see the error appears on the Search page. I have no back-end method of specifying a template for that page.

Can anyone suggest a cause and/or solution?


I should specify that I do have a Template Override active. I have used it to comment out the user accessible Sort Function.


Help appreciated :)

Hi Jenkinhill,

Thanks very much for this.

Just to confirm that I understood properly: I created a copy of my template, I assigned the template style of the copy to the Joomla menu heading that points to the VirtueMart Shop and then I changed the template in the shop configuration to point to the template copy.

Yay :)
Makes it a second slower to load the shop, flashing a blank white screen inbetween which can sometimes look a bit glitchy but seems to have worked.


Task cleanup:
* I'll have to go back to all the Product Categories now and change them back to the VirtueMart default.
* All the formatting changes for the shop that I added to the original template, I should probably delete and keep only in the VM specific copy now.
This should keep it neat for the future.

Thanks Again :)
