"Ask question" no longer working

[Studio 42]

You have perhaps an error in your template override?
$.facebox javascript should not be in your product details page
This code

Code Select Expand

echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('askrecomjs',array('product'=>$this->product));
Load components\com_virtuemart\sublayouts\askrecomjs.php
And should autoload the right script
Because function loadPopUpLib detect from config

Code Select Expand

      if($fancy = VmConfig::get('usefancy',1)){
         self::fancybox();
      } else {
         vmJsApi::addJScript( 'facebox', false, true, false, false, '' );
         vmJsApi::css( 'facebox' );
      }

I have the same issue here on this shop: https://www.skladoleju.cz/index.php/obchod/agip-arnica-s-46-biologicky-odbouratelny-olej-20l-detail.html (dotaz na product right bellow 24H image)

Disabling fancybox will solve the issue (not completely tho, I will be able to send a message, but I won`t be able to return back). I have no template overrides for virtuemart. My version is Virtuemart 4.0.12 and I am running Joomla 4.3.3

This issue has been going on for over a year now.
J4 and VM ver 4 still does not work.!!
Surly there is a fix for this by now.!!!

Getting really frustrated with VM

Ask a question is still working fine for me.

Joomla 4.3.4   VirtueMart 4.2.4 10922

Is a paid membership the only way we can get access to VM ver. 4.2.4??
If so it is fine.  I would say that most of us in the Joomla community would be more than willing to pay for this......... it would just be nice to know what the deal is.!!!

 Dud,  see the VirtueMart news items, starting with https://virtuemart.net/news/511-effective-and-sustainable-funding-with-a-virtuemart-membership

Ok 'Dud"

Among all the bla-bla in the news item I can see that VM simply worked itself into a financial corner. 

I have been using VM for years and could not understand why it was free.!!  It should never have been so....... If you give someone something for free it will never be appreciated.... additionally, if you do something well never do it for free.

I will certainly be signing up for a membership as I am a real fan of VM.  It is easy to create your own views and product detail pages... and the like.

Thanks for responding.

I have purchased a VM Membership and installed VirtueMart 4.2.4 10922
My system is running Joomla 4.3.4   VirtueMart 4.2.4 10922 and php 8.1.22

The Ask a Question form is still not posting.!

[ViPeS]

The reason may be the site template.
My template had "The Ask a Question form" from an old version of VM and errors appeared in the form fields.
After replacing the old form with the form from VM 4.2.4 10922 everything worked.
