Title: Virtuemart Category Layout - Problem
Post by: jha on February 07, 2015, 02:57:57 AM

Hi people!

I create a new file: /yourtemplate/html/com_virtuemart/category/defaultListAll.php

And then, in some Product Categories I change de "Category Browse Page" to "defaultListAll"... but the result is always the same - default.php...

Can you help me to look for the error? :(

Joomla 3
Virtuemart 3.0.4

Thanks

always works for me.. make sure you have no menu made pointing to that cat with a templating setting already made

switch off SEF so you can see the url

remove any &Itemid=xxx from the url when u test

add a html comment to the top of each template so you can be sure there is no confusion

Thanks GJC Web Design!!

But, I found a little problem... the new file name needs to be in lowercase!!! It happened to me...

Look:
in components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vmtemplate.php

if(!empty($layout)) {
$view->setLayout( strtolower( $layout ) );
}

and then in libraries/joomla/filesystem/path.php: 296
$fullname = realpath($fullname);

return false! and we have de default template...

Thanks
