search page gives 404 error

[rayge]

When i search from the VM search module it works fine but if i then search from that page it gives me a 404.
proper search results page

index.php?keyword=022&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category

after trying from within that page (NOT the module)

index.php?keyword=022&search=true&view=category

option=com_virtuemart is dropped and search=true shows up.

IS THIS A BUG?

[PRO]

are you using a template override?

I have the same issue. It only happens when you search in the field at the top of the returned results page.

Where can i find the code to remove this search box as the module is always shown on the left column.

Thanks

Just unpublish the Joomla module you do not want to show.

I've just found the same problem. I *did*/do have a template override, but with it or without it, the same problem occurs, namely the loss of the option=com_virtuemart in the resultant URI when the search box is clicked within the content rather than the module.  That URI then causes a 404.

My workaround in the override is to add

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart"/>
within the search form in my override.

Not a great solution, but the easiest one I can come up with for the moment.

My initial thought was that the JS maze called by OnClick (this.form.keywork.focus()) was mangling the form entity's action value, but I see now that the module also has the hidden input as per my workaround, so now I think it *is* a bug - sorry Milbo!  If I'm right, then my "workaround" needs to go in to views/category/tmpl/default.php and any override (which is where I put it).
