Hi,
Title is self explanatory: There are several cateories with only one corresponding product. User must click first the Category_View then the Product_View in order to go into the product details page. Is there a way to skip the first Category_View and jump directly the Product_View?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

As for the category issue I have previously set up a joomla menu for all categories on a client site. For those with just a single product the menu link goes directly to the product details view.
I'm sure it can also be done by some programming.
YOu can count the product and redirect at begin of your tmpl file YOURSITE\components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php
if(!empty($this->products[0]) && count($this->products[0]) === 1) {
$app =JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect($this->products[0][0]->link);
}
best is to do an override in your template of course
Note : $this->products[0] is only used in latest VM releases

yeh and renamed to "products". $this->products['products']
Thank you Studio 42! I have written what you told, but without success, still I have to select the category, then the only product inside, in order to see its child-products. Maybe it is because I am using VM 3.0.16 with Joomla! 3.4.8? what should I write then?
I have a question about Joomla upgrade (to jenkinhill). I would like to updgrade, but could you pls send me a link, how to do it properly? (as you see I am a newbie). Is there a way to figure out which files have been overridden?
My problem is, that I am trying to fix a Joomla site made by someone, who has already left us.
@hohogy : virtuemart 3.0.18 can be update using Joomla extensions update tool.
Here a way to do it https://docs.joomla.org/Help36:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Update or video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwGeNCHfEPM
If you want try last Virtuemart get file http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1054/com_virtuemart.3.0.19.6_extract_first.zip and extract and use the standard Joomla install with the 2 extracted files

Joomla can be automatically updated. I Joomla backend go to Components/Joomla! Update and follow the prompt.
