Sef alias (categories) and product alias conflicts

[2rup]

Hi people,

My customer had a problem with her categories menu where just one of the menu links linked to a product instead of the category view.
The menu is a Virtuemart menu based on the categories she has, so she had no control of the menu linking.

I solved this by discovering that the category sef alias was the same as her product alias, the product that kept showing, so the webpage probably conflicted about which element to show and the product won..

Btw. She uses Joomla! 3.5.1 with VirtueMart 3.0.14

If you must have categories and products with duplicate aliases, keep product suffix turned on. It's on by default.

Also, must upgrade to VM 3.0.16 if using Joomla 3.5.1.
