3.0.18 small issues

[VMTemplates.net]

Hi,

just wanted to report two small issues after an update to VirtueMart 3.0.18.

Joomla 3.6.2
VirtueMart 3.0.18
Template: Protostar
PHP Version 5.6.14 (Apache/2.4.17)

1. Products Module - problem occurs only if you select Featured Products. Module works on all pages except VirtueMart Front Page and Joomla front page no matter what kind of type you set for menu item type.

2. If you made two menu items to the same category following notice appears on VirtueMart Front Page:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in \http\vm3018\components\com_virtuemart\router.php on line 1139

Thanks,
Jason.

Hmm, the code in the router is quite plain, the constructor sets the template

Code Select Expand


$this->template = JFactory::getApplication()->getTemplate(true);


We do then

Code Select Expand


//vmdebug('This menu item exists two times',$item,$this->template->id);
if($item->template_style_id==$this->template->id){


We can add a check against empty, but I wonder why you have no id, you may uncomment the vmdebug, and delete the ->id, so you can see what hides behind the variable $this->template

Hi Max,

1. About first problem can you suggest anything? In 3.0.17.6 everything works fine. Problem appeared after an update to 3.0.18 + I'm getting the same issue when I used VirtueMart3.0.18_Joomla_3.6.2-Stable-Full_Package.zip

2. About second problem I did what you said and this is what I get from vmdebug

Code Select Expand

vmdebug('This menu item exists two times',$item,$this->template); 

Code Select Expand

Max,

doing more testing I was able to make the Products Module (Featured Products) visible however I had to set more products as featured (initially it was only 2 products).
However this didn't solve an issue at all. At the moment I can see the module but only 1st row works where the settings looks like this:
Number of displayed products: 4
Products per row: 2

Thanks,
J.

The reason is the feature that products are not displayed twice.

[Milbo]

I know, I should add an option for, but usually you have more than 2-3 featured products and the feature makes absolutly sense.

[VMTemplates.net]

Ok Max, now all is clear and I see your point
Great thank you!

[Milbo]

btw, you see also that the template has an no id. I think I wrote this, when a shop uses the same category just with different templates, but for j2.5.

Max,

we did a lot of testing (using also VirtueMart3.0.18_Joomla_3.6.2-Stable-Full_Package.zip with different settings including very default settings) and the problem occurs when 2 links made to the same category.
We have no assigned template for second link to category so, testing site was using only vmbeez3 for all the pages. Later we assigned Protostar to second link and problem still occured. So, no matter what we do we are always getting

Code Select Expand

Notice : Undefined property: stdClass::$id in \http\vm3018\components\com_virtuemart\router.php on line 1139

An error disappear only if we set SEO Disabled on SEO tab in Config.

Until I can set None for Error Reporting (and turn off errorlog) I can live with this becasue as far as I made the tests I didn't noticed any bigger impact on VirtueMart functionality .

Thanks,
Jason.
