Products missing from the Product Details Layout Menu list

[Mister Paul]

Hi,

I am trying to create an Joomla menu element linked to a Virtuemart product.

So I created a Joomla Menu item and in "Menu Item Type" I have selected "Virtuemart : Product Details Layout"
But then, I can't find my product in the "Select a Product" list...


What could be the reason?
How could I make it appear ?...

Thanks for your help
Paul

Is the product published ?

Jörgen @ Kreativ Fotografi

[Mister Paul]

Yes Jörgen,
the Father and its 2 Children are published

is it in a category? or if not the show uncategorised prods checked?

[Mister Paul]

Yes GJC,
also a good idea. Thank you.

They are categorized (Father + Children) and the category is published.
In case of, I tried to check "Show uncategorised parent products in search results and modules" and "Show uncategorised child products in search results and modules".

Still not working...

he he .. running out of ideas ..  have never had trouble with this

has a price? stock?

shows up if u manually link it by

index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=67&virtuemart_category_id=5  ?

[Mister Paul]

Yes Price and Stock...

[Mister Paul]

Well... strange thing:
- in the "Select a Product" scroll down menu code I found 701 "<option value". So 701 VM products listed.
- in my VM backend I have ± 950 products published, and with a valid price.

So ± 250 products seem to be missing...
I didn't checked stock there, but no need:

I tried to find a missing product in the list. And rapidly got one. But this product is published, and is available to be bought normally on frontend site...
It is published, has category (distinct from the product of my first post), price and stock.

What could be the problem?...

[Mister Paul]

Well sorry for these naïve questions but I am still seeking:
- is there a way to manage (= filter) the products from the the "Select a Product" list?
- as I am migrating from an old 1.5 Joomla site with VirtueMart 1.1.4, could it be the reason of my problem?
But le product I wanted to show in the initial post was a newly created one (from Joomla 3 and VirtueMart 3.4.0)

Perhaps some sort of JSON limit thing?
In the short term u could just make the link manually as above

[Milbo]

The problem is the hardcoded limit of 700 products. Usually only shops with less than 10 products use that (imho)

[Mister Paul]

Thanks for clarification.

I need that menu link for some special products (I don't understand why creating a hard coded limitation)
As the link text field is not writable, the only way I see now to solve the problem is to modify the database...
Or expand the 700 limit. But where?

[GJC Web Design]

I assume because to return a huge JSON call of +700 prods is a big ask..

Why not just make a std Joomla url menu like index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=67&virtuemart_category_id=5

this is all the dialog is doing

[Mister Paul]

Yes sure that's a better solution.
Thank you!
