Product creation / Create Facebook Event Button f...

Last post by MAD King - June 17, 2026, 14:15:14 PM

Hello,

does anyone know how to create an purchase event button for Facebook?
I only can point to e.g. "Add to Cart" but I think it actually requires the link for the thank you page.

Anyone who can help?

Thank you.

[he quick fix in most cases is to use the null coalescing operator to provide a default value as appropriate, so you don't need a long null check around every use. For instance, htmlspecialchars($something) can be replaced with htmlspecialchars($something ?? '')]

I found this and  it fixed the appearance problem: Now an icon does appear, not a correct one, but a placeholder at least and not an error message:

that worked on line 690 of mediahandler.php in the file: administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/mediahandler.php

Great, I directly added it to the core. Looks just like a smart fix.

Development & Testing / VM 4.6.8: Product Details menu...

Last post by Georgios Kolomvos - June 14, 2026, 11:26:47 AM

Environment
- Joomla 5.4.6
- VirtueMart 4.6.8 build 11258
- Multilingual site (EL, EN, FR, ES)
- Product Details Layout menu items associated across languages

Problem
When a Product Details menu item exists and is associated with corresponding menu items in other languages, VirtueMart appends the product slug to the generated multilingual URL although the menu item already uniquely identifies the product.

Example
Expected URL:  /en/product-menu-item
Generated URL: /en/product-menu-item/product-slug
The appended product slug is unnecessary and causes incorrect hreflang and language-switch URLs.

Investigation
After debugging router.php, I found that Product Details menu items are correctly detected using the $ismenue flag. However, the product slug is appended unconditionally:

Code Select Expand

if($virtuemart_product_id)
    $segments[] = self::getProductName($virtuemart_product_id);
This code executes even when a matching Product Details menu item has already been found.

Suggested fix
Replace:

Code Select Expand

if($virtuemart_product_id)
    $segments[] = self::getProductName($virtuemart_product_id);
with:

Code Select Expand

if(!$ismenue && $virtuemart_product_id)
    $segments[] = self::getProductName($virtuemart_product_id);

After applying the patch:
- hreflang URLs are correct
- language-switch URLs are correct
- no unnecessary product slug is appended
- products without Product Details menu items continue to work normally

Do you see loss of function?

General Questions / Deprecated: file_exists()

Last post by scottstreet - June 12, 2026, 02:37:34 AM

Joomla 5.4.3 VM 4.4.6 php 8.4.21


Instead of thumbnails, my category pages now display this:


Deprecated: file_exists(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($filename) of type string is deprecated in /home/beqsaleshost/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/mediahandler.php on line 690

LIne 690 of mediahandler.php is

   if (file_exists($file_url_thumb) and !is_dir($this->file_url) ) { // Spiros


Not sure how to proceed.
