Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: [BUG] Uploading a product ...

Last post by wyder - September 01, 2026, 09:45:48 AM

Just a quick update:

I have also checked the official VirtueMart **4.8.2 build 11343** package and the same filename collision issue is still present in `administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vmuploader.php`.

The code still changes `$mediaPure` when a file with the same name already exists, but the generated name is not assigned back to `$media['name']` before `JFile::upload()`.

So the issue appears to be present at least in:

* VirtueMart 4.4.10 build 11120
* VirtueMart 4.6.8 build 11258
* VirtueMart 4.8.2 build 11343

Could someone from the VirtueMart team please confirm whether this is a known bug?

Okay, in that case inspect your code with your browsers developer tools.
See if you can locate what creates the space.

You can right-click on an object and than select Inspect
Or use shortcuts ctrl+shift+c (win) or cmd+opt/shift+c (mac).

Hi,
the V4.8.2 solve this.

Code Select Expand

helpers/mediahandler.php replaces

Code Select Expand

self::$theme_url (never assigned, and obsolete since VM3) with

Code Select Expand

VmConfig::get('assets_general_path', 'components/com_virtuemart/assets/') This structurally eliminates the cause of the missing

Code Select Expand

/assets/images/vmgeneral/ the default path now points to the component folder, which cannot simply disappear like a folder at the site root.

[What it does]

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: [BUG] Category pagination ...

Last post by sirius - August 28, 2026, 10:58:14 AM

Follow-up to my earlier post. I packaged the workaround as a small standalone
system plugin, GPL, source and installable ZIP on GitHub:

https://github.com/M-Falken/plg_system_vmpaginationfix
Direct download: https://github.com/M-Falken/plg_system_vmpaginationfix/releases/latest

What it does
On the onAfterRoute event, for a front end request with option=com_virtuemart and
view category, virtuemart, manufacturer or search that carries no limitstart
parameter, it sets limitstart to 0 in the input before the component runs. The
model then stops falling back to the offset kept in the session, so "Start",
"Prev" and "1" actually return to the first page.

That is the whole plugin. No core file is touched, so it survives VirtueMart
updates. It does not rewrite URLs or change any template. Optional debug parameter
logs to administrator/logs/ so you can confirm it fires on the URLs you expect.

Core logic

Code (php) Select Expand

public function onAfterRoute(Event $event): void
{
    $app = $this->getApplication();

    if (!$app->isClient('site')) {
        return;
    }

    $input = $app->getInput();

    if ($input->getCmd('option') !== 'com_virtuemart') {
        return;
    }

    if (!in_array($input->getCmd('view'), ['category', 'virtuemart', 'manufacturer', 'search'], true)) {
        return;
    }

    if ($input->get('limitstart', null) !== null) {
        return;
    }

    $input->set('limitstart', 0);
}

Known trade off
Any bare VirtueMart listing URL without limitstart now always lands on page 1
instead of restoring the page remembered in the session. For a storefront that is
usually what you want, but it is a behaviour change, so test it on your setup.

Tested on
Joomla 5.4.8, VirtueMart 4.8.0 (11339), PHP 8.4.

Still a stopgap. The proper fix belongs in the router or the model: emit a results
segment for page 1, or treat a missing limitstart as page 1 rather than inheriting
the session offset. Sharing this in case it helps others meanwhile.

Virtuemart 4.8.0 11339 with Joomla 5.4.7 still has the same issue. Bug not fixed in VM 4.8.
