It seems that this did not make the 2.0.22 !!

But the code is different from what is shown here. After upgrading to 2.0.22 it still shows the error message. I searched the code and I see it is embedded in another if statement.

[jkrabbenbos]

An addition to my previous message: it is the view.html.php from the categories directory that is the problem. I commented out the code as given earlier in this thread and now it works.
The extra "if" construction is in the view.html.php from the category directory.

[Milbo]

facepalm. So you say I did it for category but not for categories? grmbl.

[jkrabbenbos]

I double checked it in the download version of 2.0.22. In the categories view.html.php line 57-60 still has the code as described before. I did not change the file in the category directory.

[Milbo]

In fact I dont like the categories view anyway. I think we should remove it and add an extra layout to the category view. The categories view was created as we had no layout controll.

you can also just remove the info message and the return. The fix works 100%. Franzpeter got a new version and has not anylonger the problem.

Code Select Expand


if(!$category->published){
vmInfo('COM_VIRTUEMART_CAT_NOT_PUBL',$category->category_name,$categoryId);
return false;
}

just remove this in your view.html.php.

In 2.0.22 the problem still exist. This fix wokrs...
Thank you

I fix this problem in 2.0.22 version by deleting one of the two sign "=" in line 57 of file site\components\com_virtuemart\views\categories\view.html.php
Code before fix:

Code Select Expand

$category = $categoryModel->getCategory($categoryId);
if($category->virtuemart_id!==0 and !$category->published){
vmInfo('COM_VIRTUEMART_CAT_NOT_PUBL',$category->category_name,$categoryId);
return false;
}
Code after fix:

Code Select Expand

$category = $categoryModel->getCategory($categoryId);
if($category->virtuemart_id!=0 and !$category->published){
vmInfo('COM_VIRTUEMART_CAT_NOT_PUBL',$category->category_name,$categoryId);
return false;
}
and now it works

Snake, simple well explained answer for me as a beginner. Sometimes the answers put up are ok for experienced coders but it's nice to know exactly where the file is and even the line number of the code. IG Thumbs up to Snake!

Hey Guys

When I enter my URL address 4markets.com.au the code is coming up

Category id 0 not published

Now, I am a beginner and not sure how to implement the above fix, could someone explain the exact steps in lay mans terms of how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gregg,

What version of VirtueMart are you using? The update of 2.0.22a, which I tested this morning, does not have the problem anymore.

[Greggo25]

Hey Jan

Oh OK, I seem to have the 2.0.22 version. 

I have tried to install the update but am getting the following error when I click on the 'update' link:

Invalid Token, in store config


Any reason this is happening?

Thanks

Gregg

[Milbo]

I am sorry, I dont know, what happens, when you download the file and use the joomla extension manager and install it there?
