Hello developers,
I have been working all day to solve a problem in my product detail page, but since I'm here you guessed I was not able to solve it.
the problem:
I've added a menu 'VirtueMart Front page' showing the product categories. This works OK. When I click a Category the products show up, also no problem here. But when I click the 'product details' or click the image of the product, the product details appear in a page, without the template vissible. It shows the information about the product but in a weird way. I can not add the product to the cart. (http://michael.easydatasoft.com/)
When using the example database of VM it has the same problem. Product details won't show up in the right template.
General info
I'm using VM 2.6.6 and Joomla! 2.5, tried using the full install of VM2 with Joomla and a separate installation of Joomla 2.5 with VM 2.6.6
My try-outs so far:
using the 'Category Layout' menu item instead of VirtueMart Front page
adding Jquery easy as a plugin to avoid Jquery version conflicts
about 6 times starting over with a clean database and clean Joomla + VM installation
any help is appreciated
first of all switch ALL the sef off - how can you develop a site when you have no idea what the urls really are?
on product details (have you installed Firebug?) - all your includes (images, css and JS etc) are 404s
e.g. "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"
you can try any of them -> http://michael.easydatasoft.com/underwater/templates/system/css/system.css
all 404s -
they should be
http://michael.easydatasoft.com/templates/system/css/system.css
find out where that /underwater/ is coming from..
That totally did the trick! I went to: Global Configuration > Site > Search Engine Friendly URLs > Set it to No
Now the product details are vissible.
Thanks allot!
