Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: Critical pricing bug — var...

Last post by Milbo - January 08, 2026, 22:19:26 PM

The normal logic means the discount on the final price. Not in between. Depending on the tax system of your country, you discount either the price before tax (like in USA) or after tax (like in Europe). Your idea is to discount the baseprice, but not the variant addon price. It can make sense, for example if the variant includes a service, but is not the default. I cannot add your code without breaking the prices for all the others using the default logic.

Thank you stAn, indeed the problem is if the vm languages is loaded before the router set the new language var,... the vm lang code uses the set default language of joomla of the current run time.

I wonder if this code in virtuemart.php in the Fe, so (/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.php)

Code Select Expand

if (!class_exists( 'VmConfig' )) require(JPATH_ROOT .'/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php');
VmConfig::$execTrigger = true;
VmConfig::loadConfig(false, false, true, true);
vRequest::setRouterVars();
$lang = vRequest::getCmd('lang','');
if(!empty($lang)){
vmLanguage::setLanguageByTag($lang);
}

how its possible i still found this error in virtuemart 4.4 after more than 10 years? how it make any sense to not calculate discount code for free shipping over total order?? does anyone in virtuemart dev have any brain? and the only solution is hack the core? it seems that even special coupon plugin will not solve this issue.. unbelievable..

This is a solution for an issue over 14-ish years ago!
What was that VirtueMart 2?

More information would help alot...

How does it not work?
What error do you see?

What version of Joomla, VirtueMart, PHP do you use?
What version of Joomla, VirtueMart, PHP did you update from?

the issue with language is most commonly cuased by any system plugin loading vmconfig "before onafterroute" event (i.e. before languag filter plugin sets the language)

to see which plugin does it you might want to put:

Code Select Expand

$x = debug_backtrace();
foreach ($x as $l) echo $l['file'].' '.$l['line']."<br />\n";
die(__FILE__.'@'.__LINE__);


within /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php

(at the top after <?php )

this will show you bakctrace of which plugin had loaded it too early - disable the plugin and test it further

Joomla 5.4.1 VirtueMart 4.6.6
It seems as if VirtueMart only uses Joomla's default language tables. Everything else switches languages fine, but not VirtueMart.
I see this in the debug message too:

1 vmdebug 2 Languages, default joomla language $jDefLang): hu_hu hu-HU
Selected VM language (VmConfig::$vmlang): hu_hu hu-HU SEF: hu $lfbs =
This may be OK, as these are the default languages, although the VM language should probably be English.
--------------------
5 vmdebug Set router vars self::$get, Post, self::$request Var0:
Var2:
Array
(
    [language] => en-GB
    [option] => com_virtuemart
    [view] => category
    [virtuemart_category_id] => 37
    [virtuemart_manufacturer_id] => 0
    [Itemid] => 860
)
This is good for the English language
--------------------
21 vmdebug exeSortSearchListQuery my $limitStart 12 $limit 12 q Var0:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  p.virtuemart_product_id
        FROM kk2025_virtuemart_products as p
 INNER JOIN kk2025_virtuemart_products_hu_hu as l ON l.virtuemart_product_id = p.virtuemart_product_id
 LEFT JOIN kk2025_virtuemart_product_shoppergroups as ps ON p.virtuemart_product_id = ps.virtuemart_product_id
 LEFT JOIN kk2025_virtuemart_product_categories as pc ON p.virtuemart_product_id = pc.virtuemart_product_id
 WHERE ( pc.virtuemart_category_id IN (37)  AND  ( ps.virtuemart_shoppergroup_id= "1"  OR ps.virtuemart_shoppergroup_id IS NULL  )  AND  p.published="1" )
 group by p.virtuemart_product_id
 ORDER BY p.product_available_date DESC, p.virtuemart_product_id DESC LIMIT 12, 12

However, this is not acceptable because the query now contains hu_hu instead of en_gb.

What could be the problem? Joomla or VirtueMart? I think it's VM, because everything else on the site is in English when I switch to English.

About VirtueMart - not for support posts / Re: Joomla 6

Last post by hazael - December 30, 2025, 11:22:28 AM

Hi,
I'm currently testing the beta version, which is already quite close to a final release. From my perspective, there has been significant progress.

That said, I don't think moving to Joomla 6 is a necessity at this point. In real-world usage you won't see any noticeable performance difference. On top of that, most VirtueMart extensions will need updates anyway, since Joomla 6 drops backward compatibility for many legacy plugins and addons.

Joomla 5 is supported until the end of 2027, so there is plenty of time. There's no real reason to rush the migration.
