And what doesn't work about it? What url does it produce?

[sahar-onyx]

Thank you for the answer

url:     domain/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=

Does not produce any id number for category

if type

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $category->virtuemart_category_id; ?>

Does not show anything

assume from the post title it is in this module?

mod_sot_vm_thumbnail-slider

this knows nothing about VM so of course $category->virtuemart_category_id is meaningless

you have to include all the VM base files etc so the $category var means something via the model

wouldn't it be far simpler to make a manual config of the catids in the module xml?

You are right

I do not know how I should connect the slider variables  to the variables based virtuemart
I found the answer and put in this post

Thank you

There are this field in mod_sot_vm_thumbnail_slide.xml file

Code Select Expand

<field name="virtuemart_category_id" type="vmcategories"  value_field="category_name" label="Virtuemart Category" description="Select Category" />

How should I use virtuemart_category_id  that is Available at this file?

you have to ask who ever made the module - normally it's a comma separated list of catids (that's how I would do it)
