Hi i am currently Running a furniture website that i am battling to organize with virtuemart and would appreciate any assistance.
i have version 2.0.22a
I want to categorize say you have a tables section when you click on table section i want it to give me sub categories say classic range, chunky range, round etc. with thumbnails. with nothing else on the page. at the moment i can let sub categories appear but all the tables appear below that.
The same would be with living room, Coffee tables, tv cabinets etc
Sorry this is my first forum post please let me know if any other info is needed.
First why are you using an old VM version?
If you want your top categories ONLY to show their child categories and no products you need to make a separate template for this in your
templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/category/ folder and delete the code that shows the products
then on your top categories in admin select this template for those
Firstly you should update your VirtueMart version. 2.0.22a is old and known to be insecure. We are now at 2.6.0a (you must be using PHP5.3.10 or later version on the server).
See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0 and http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=123808
Re-arrangement of the display is by editing the view template files and the creation of template overrides.
Hi Thanks for the reply, i just did an update and after the update the products started showing in one row where it was 3 in a row and all settings is set to 3 and when you click on a product it is out of proportion.
Is it possible to give instructions on how to fix this issue?
Scared the client gets on my case.
Really appreciate all your assistance.

Check that you have set the products to 3 per row in configuration/templates and also for each individual category (Number of Products per Row in each category can also be left at 0 which will allow the template deafult setting to be used).
If that is not the problem then you may need to update the template overrides you are using.
