Hello
My suggestion is:
1) Create category "Joomla extensions". Create sub categories of that category: "Components", "Plugins", etc. Put products accordingly to their category  "Components", "Plugins", etc.
2) Create  menu link -> create menu item of type "Virtuemart Store Front". Go to configuration -> template . Put "V" on only display categories for "display front"
3) In main menu create link to every category "Components", "Plugins", etc

and when the user click of the image of the product it show the detail of the product not the facybox of the image, is it possible with Virtuemart

Hello,
thank you for your replay, but I just want to have one link that shows me all the products of "Plugins" and "Modules", it should works when I create a link "category layout" with the option "Select a Category" set to "Top level category", but there is a bug as I mentioned before...

Link?

I installed a fresh virtuemart in a live website with sample data to show you the problem


Steps to follow:

1/ Visit tuniads.com/co/
2/ Click on menu link "store"
3/ Click on a product for example "Drill"
4/ Now click again on menu link "store"

==> it will show you the category "Indoor Tools" not like when you clicked first time in step 2
==> now when you click again on the link "store" il will show you the correct view like in step 2 (all products)

link "store" is link of "category layout" with the option "Select a Category" set to "Top level category"

the existent categories (all top level category):

Outdoor Tools 
Indoor Tools    
Hand Tools    
Garden Tools

Use VirtueMart homepage as your main link. Make sure all VM modules & plugins are assigned to that item. Then you can have two category links, but assuming they are both top level cats they will show on the VM homepage. It is too easy to get in a mess when playing with Joomla manu items.

Hello
It's not a bug!
You can't assign products to Top category (id=0)

As car don't know to fly vm don't know assign products to category 0 

If You want solution follow the steps:

1) Create category "Joomla extensions". Create sub categories of that category: "Components", "Plugins", etc.
Assign products accordingly to their category  "Components", "Plugins", etc. and Joomla extensions
2) link "store" is link of "category layout" with the option "Select a Category" set to "Joomla extensions"

Excellent.
Now assign all products to "root" category . So for example You have one product assigned to 2 categories (root and Hand Tools)

thank you it was a useful replay, it solves the problem, but now all products shows "back to root" and not to their direct category, so there is now way to access the products of a specific category, from the "category layout", can I change it to be "back to Indoor Tools" or go to "Indoor Tools", all I need is the show a link in the details view of a product to let the users to see all the product of that category not of the "root category"
