Hi Everyone,
I need help in adding my virtuemart top level categories to the front homepage I can do it through modules however instead of thumbnail categories I keep getting a list like a menu is there anyway to get the thumbnails.
thanks
What if you were to create a menu item to your Virtuemart Default Layout and make that item your home page?
Use the category or categories layout in joomla administration, when creating a menu item
Hi Guys Thanks for the reply however I dont quite follow maybe I can show you what I am talking about.
I want this section
http://demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jan2012/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=categories&virtuemart_category_id=0&Itemid=402
to fall where the new products section lies
http://demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jan2012/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=categories&virtuemart_category_id=0&Itemid=402
Please tell me if this is possible.
Thanks
a million

<?php
# load categories from front_categories if exist
if ($this->categories) echo $this->loadTemplate('categories');
# Show template for : topten,Featured, Latest Products if selected in config BE
if (!empty($this->products) ) { ?>
<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('products');
}

the menu link has to be the "default" layout.
Hi Banquet, Its still not working I tried making Menu Types in the menu manager as default layout but it just gives me a blank page I dont want to replace the entire front page I just want the thumbnails category to fall where New Products is.
Thanks
K
give me a link to your homepage?:
AND:::: in your vmart administrator what do you have set for the "default" layout?
HI again don't mean to be so joomla pesty but I am running on a wamp server localhost/promo/ and in the virtue mart admin under templates " virtuemart home page settings" it is set as 'default products' i Tried changing it to default categories but still nothing.
Thanks

The template I told you to edit is the
"default" layout. NOT default products., so change it to "default"
look here
/components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/
and you will see the different templates.
the default.php includes the other 2 layouts
I see yes I now understand what you are talking about there is "default" "default_products" default categories" off_line".
So i made the script change to "default" and save and refresh but still no change even if i try changing between each of the defaults i see no change?
Thanks
k
so this link
/index.php?option=com_virtuemart
does not show categories at the top?
Yes it shows the categories but now i lost the banner and side menu
Thanks

So you have your joomla links set wrong.
THE frontpage needs to be set to the default vmart layout
This is not working but i believe its something i am doing wrong. Do you build e commerce web pages can i pay o get one built
