Title: manufacturer view not working properly
Post by: DjNoRhythm on February 04, 2020, 17:56:19 PM
Good morning everyone,

Virtuemart 3.6.1
Joomla 3.9.5

I have a "sales page" which contains the logos for each of the manufacturers. I also have a hidden Menu which contains separate links to each manufacturer in Virtuemart. The Logos on the sales page are then linked to the hidden menu.

One of the links works perfectly. The others, though they are set up the same way(linked to the proper manufacturers of course) are not going to the proper manufacturer. Rather they all pull up the one that is working properly but they don't show any products. There are only 11 manufacturers and not very many products at this point. I need to get this working before loading Virtuemart with products.

This should work perfectly as set up but something is keeping the other links from showing properly. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

With regards,
Ron

The Link that seems to be working properly is: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=4&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=2&Itemid=309

Here is one that is not working properly: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=8&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=3&Itemid=317

I got the Joomla version out of the "system information" area.

I am very sure this is something simple that I missed. With Joomla and Virtuemart, it usually is. ;)

are your category ids for specific manufacturers? why isn't the cat id 0? and just filter by man id

I couldn't figure out how to just display a manufacturer listing so I have the manufacturers as categories as well.

Thank again

I got it sorted. Thanks GJC Web Design for pointing me in the right direction.
