Hi Eveyone:

I recently upgraded from 2.0.20 to VM 2.0.24a

I am still in dev mode but now my images  (thumbnails) are not showing up on my view product pages. websitename/index.php/en/shop/category-layout/clothing/clothes/dresses

So for example I am sell Clothing - so when you click on the Categories "Clothing" menu a list of clothing products I have appear (i have four items listed so far as a test) and the images above the name show up. BUT when you click on the item such as Clothes , the thumbnail comes up in that area when I select "dresses" I am taken to a blank screen instead of seeing the large image of the item and detail info I want to view.

Prior to this, I was not experiencing this problem, I am not a php guru so I don't know how to change things in that area.
Please advise
thanks

Sounds like a configuration issue. In Config/templates check that Category Template is set to Use Joomla Default. If you have a main menu link to the old categories layout then you should check that, as the stand alone categories layout was removed in 2.0.24 and is now replaced.
See http://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/450-virtuemart-2-0-24a-includes-klarna-checkout#features

3. Added a jform element to select layouts of a view. So you can now choose the layout "categories" for your menu item. Be aware that the "categories" view is obsolete and deleted, select the "category" view and the layout categories instead.

Hi Jenkinhill

Thanks for the reference.  It turned out that I had to change the following
VM Configuration>template>Category Layout to "categories"
VM Configuration>template>Product Layout to "categories"

Once I saved the above changes had to change each Product Category > Product Category Form>Category Browse Page to "default"

That took care of the problem. Fortunately, I am still in the dev stage, so I don't have too many forms to change   ;)

Thanks :)
