Many bots do respect robots.txt (at least on my site).
So you can block evil bots by adding the evil user-agents to your robots.txt

Code Select Expand

User-agent: evilBot
Disallow: /

User-agent: SomeOtherCrappyBot
Disallow: /
Bots that do not respect your robots.txt need to be blocked through .htaccess (see post by jflash).

You block DuckDuckGo?

General Questions / Re: Virtuemart 4 Cart prices (...

Last post by iWim - August 10, 2025, 19:59:04 PM

The forum questions are mostly answered by volunteers.
Sometimes Milbo answers.

When you log in to extensions.virtuemart.net you could leave a ticket. Maybe you'll get an answer quicker.
There is also a discord, but you need a certain amount of forum posts...

To your question:
I remember I had something similar with a different cart extension.
In my case I had to change a setting so JS was loaded inline instead of a file.
Maybe you have a similar option in VP One Page...

Do you use something like Admin Tools/RS Firewall?
Are they blocking something?

So people who understand this much better than I do, can help:
When visiting your cart open the Console panel in your browsers devtools.

Copy the errors/warnings here...

When VM category view is set as the default:

Myeah, they updated the site a while ago and now many existing links are broken...

To get the pages you are looking for:
On the homepage, in the menu, hover over "Virtuemart" and go to "Documentation".

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: Still Thumbnails problems ...

Last post by iWim - August 10, 2025, 19:22:46 PM

The issue was fixed in VM4.4.6

VM4.4.6 and VM4.4.10 are both available (for free) here:
https://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files

From what I understand you need a membership to be able to update VM through the Joomla updater.

If you don't have a membership you could try a manual update by installing a newer version over the old one...
Make sure you have created a backup (akeeba) and maybe test this locally (wamp/mamp) first!

Last post by Renata - August 10, 2025, 11:09:38 AM

I use Vm version 4.4.4 11101 which is still the same version for free download.

I still see no update where this bug as mentioned in the title of this topic,  is fixed. As a result of that i cannot update Joomla to the latest 5 version. I am forced to use Joomla 5.2.5. This has as result, that the website itself doesn't has the latest bugfixes and/or latest security fixes.

We do not have the membership (sorry). Please when can we espect a new FREE version where this bug is fixed?

I hope to hear from you soon.


Kind regards

General Questions / Problem with a my components

Last post by nikiC - August 09, 2025, 11:35:21 AM

Hello everyone,
I recently created a component that I need to generate SKUs. This component should be included in the product view on the administration side.

I'm having a problem; I'm getting the error JLIB_APPLICATION_ERROR_MODEL_GET_NAME.

Can you tell me why? I tried everything, and I ended up asking for help first from nicepage and then from you.

Let me know if you have any ideas...

I'll leave you the link to the RAR file containing the program and a description of the files.

Thank you for your help.

Regards

I think it's due to the new checkbox, that is not automatically checked.

"added property "isImage" for medias, works BC"

Yes, that's right. It will be fixed in the upcoming update, which will be released soon.

Dear Jumbo!

I still see no update where this bug is fixed. As a result of that i cannot update Joomla to the latest 5 version. This has as result, that the website itself doesn't has the latest bugfixes and/or latest security fixes.

Somewhat disappointed that having paid for Bronze support, this query has as yet had no answers or hints.
