Front-end product modification redirecting to home page (index.php/#) when savin

[chris6273]

Hi guys,

I've been having no end of problems with Virtuemart recently and the newest one is that when editing a product on the front-end it forwards me to the home page when hitting save and does not save the changes.

Does anyone know why this is? I've tried searching but to no avail.

We are running version 2.0.18a and joomla version: 2.5.9.

Edit: This problem seems to occur when "Search Engine Friendly URLs" is enabled in Joomla's global config. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks for your help

Same problem here on 5 different sites. Product editing through front end. You can change whatever you like, say title and price and click SAVE. The page is redirected to the home page and the edits are not saved. Logged in as Super User and VM group is admin.

Is there a solution to this problem? By the looks of it i'm not the only one having it...

Works for me (I'm using VM 2.0.20) when I disable 'Use external google jQuery library' in VM Configuration > Templates tab.

Unfortunately it is already disabled due to us using a separate jQuery plugin to prevent conflicts.

Looking at your website (the link you supplied a previous forum post), you do have some jQuery problems. Maybe your third party plugin creates a problem instead of solving one :-)
One problem is that it tries to load the files
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9/themes/base/jquery-ui.css
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9/jquery-ui.min.js
but but it doesn't find them at the specified location.

I would recommend to use the Firefox browser and install the 'Firebug' plugin, so you can see the problem areas yourself.
