template problem

[rage76]

Thanks. Is this a quickfix problem or a big one?

could this be creating an issue?

$tpath = $this->baseurl.'/templates/'.$this->template;

What needs to be changed?

[AH]

It depends where you are using it and what $this-> is

But generally that construct will fail before it is related to an update issue

as always ---  joomla debug on so u create a trace so u know where the problem is.....

[rage76]

Thank you for replying AH & GJC

with error reporting & debug on, only the following line is displayed:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in C:\xampp\htdocs\tech\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\models\category.php on line 161

If I unpublish virtuemart categories module, this error disappears as well and there is a blank page.

[AH]

Did you update the AIO

Is the category module core VM or a third party plugin

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in C:\xampp\htdocs\tech\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\models\category.php on line 161

hmmm ... no $this is used in that function?

[pinochico]

this function (model) is only used.
You must find where is calling - modul VM categories view? - override, 3d party...

[AH]

$selectedOrdering = $this->_selectedOrdering;

[rage76]

Thank you for responding guys. After some tinkering, I found my template is using an override to VM categories module. If I unpublish it, apart from the categories menu, everything starts working normally.

I think the module is not 3rd party, but could be an older version. php file from the module is attached. Can someone guide me to rectify this issue or suggest me a suitable 3rd party module that will display the menu properly?

Any help will be highly appreciated. regards.

Or you can use Google search or Freelancers

[rage76]

ok, I replaced the VM categories menu and things are looking up.

I have a query, before the update, on clicking on main category, all products of all sub categories were shown. Now only last sub-category products are shown.

What has changed and what do I need to do to show all products?

Best regards
