VirtueMart URL ?Itemid=0

stevewc84 · May 28, 2012, 11:04:19 AM

I am new to VirtueMart and I have recently created a VirtueMart 2 site on Joomla 2.5 .

Using Joomla 2.5 standard SEO SEF settings - it seems to work perfectly apart from actual shop items where it adds ?Itemid=0 onto the end of each URL

I dont want this to appear at all - I want the URL to get to .html and that's it - I don't want any ?Itemid to show after the URL.

Can anyone give me some advice on how I can achieve this?

Many Thanks

Steven

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am really not sure what I should be doing here - but maybe its something to do with the virtuemart component router.php file - can I edit anything here to stop the Itemid from displaying in the URL?

stevewc84, do you have a menu link to the vmart frontpage?

and are you saying it adds the Itemid=0 when SEF turned on?

are you using 3rd party sef component?

I'm having the same issue.

In the config it has a place in the SEO options to enable translation strings which from what I can tell would take care of the add-on item id at the end of the URL and it is checked but is in effective...

What's up?

The interesting thing I've discovered for my website is that it only happens for some products. There's some that have perfect SEF... but others have the Itemid=0 at the end as well as the component/virtuemart part after the domain.

I am also experiencing this issue but it appears to only be present on products that have custom fields associated with them

Same here. I'm using Joomla! 2.5.6 with VirtueMart 2.0.10 and the standard, build-in Joomla SEO. Any idea how to fix it?

I appear to have found a solution to this, my VM category that my product sat in was not assigned to a menu item. Creating a menu item linked to the VM category in question seemed to have solved it.

cristirp · September 13, 2012, 01:34:41 AM

I already had a menu item with VM in it. However, I changed the menu item to Category Layout and selected the Top Level Category, and that fixed it!!

Thanks for the tip

What is going on? It showes as exactly what you said, only those items that the categories not assigned to a menu item appeared such issue. However, I am using megamenu, no enough space for assigning all the categories to it.

Looking for another way out... ...

Any solution to that? My ItemId =0 is wrong too. How can I find the proper one???
