virtuemart 1.9.8k -. Category template problems

[Stephen Roberts]

I finished overriding the category view, so I moved on to the productdetails view. I copied the productdetails default.php to

/templates/theme131/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php

Nothing happened, so I figured it was the same problem as earlier where it just wasn't taking effect. So I switched to the Beez template, copied default.php over and still nothing. I tried clearing cache, various settings, etc. and nothing worked. Finally, I switched back to my template, theme131, copied the productdetails pdf.php to

/templates/theme131/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/pdf.php

and everything worked! The product details page seems to be using the pdf.php instead of default.php. I don't remember changing a setting for it anywhere. BTW, I'm running Joomla 1.5.24 with Virtuemart 1.9.8k.

IN EACH category you choose what the default layout

see is some of them say PDF.

I do remember seeing someone with a problem where it said pdf with their install by default

[PRO]

if you have a lot of categories you can do it with sql

update jos_virtuemart_categories set category_product_layout = 0

ah found it.

The value of the default category layout set in the config was not taken. Fixed and improved.

The fix is in the svn!

The pdf as default should never happen, except you configure it that way, to help you further I need an admin account on your page.

In the configuration or in each category, the templates are set to "No Override". In fact, no other options have ever shown up in those fields except "No Override". I checked the database and the category_layout and category_product_layout fields are empty. It's not a problem right now, I just wanted to make sure it's not something that should be fixed. Thanks!
