[Bug] Related Categories and Products not working

[danielcktan]

Hi,

I am using VM 2.0.16 and Joomla 2.5.8, PHP Version 5.3.13.

Related Categories and Related Products fields do not seems to work.

When I enter the name of the Related Categories and Related Products, Ajax returned the result with a blank thumbnail.

I select the thumbnail and save but the information is not saved.

I am attaching the screenshot for better understanding of the issue.

Thanks in advance for help.

Do you have azrul mambot or acesef installed?

hi,

I do not have the mentioned components installed in this instance of Joomla + VM.

However, I do have K2 (v2.6.2), Fox Contact Form, JCE Editor and Unite Nivo Slider Pro installed.

Does the above interfere with the Backend Ajax?

Hi,

May I check if the latest version 2.0.18a solve the above mention issues?

Thank You

Hi, I have the same problem.

When I entered something on related product field, the ajax just returned empty boxes.

VM : VM2.0.18a.
Joomla 2.5 with JCE, sh404SEF and CSVI components installed.

Please help.. thank you.

I think I have figured out the problem.

It was because the virtuemart_customs table was empty. I was trying to use the empty data tool from VM Tool & Migration, thus it removes all data of virtuemart_customs.

Basically I just tried to import vm_customs data from vm's sample data.

INSERT INTO `bblfv_virtuemart_customs` (`virtuemart_custom_id`, `custom_parent_id`, `virtuemart_vendor_id`, `custom_jplugin_id`, `custom_element`, `admin_only`, `custom_title`, `custom_tip`, `custom_value`, `custom_field_desc`, `field_type`, `is_list`, `is_hidden`, `is_cart_attribute`, `layout_pos`, `custom_params`, `shared`, `published`, `created_on`, `created_by`, `ordering`, `modified_on`, `modified_by`, `locked_on`, `locked_by`) VALUES
