VM 3.0.3 pagination not working right

[MAD King]

But I need categories to list my products. How else would you list them?

[jenkinhill]

It is not just VM where pagination problems show. http://bit.ly/1BIA8uQ

That was a great animation on the link.
This pagination problem seems to exists for a while on joomla. Why aren't they able to fix this?

as has been said many many times - fixed on J3.4 .. when it is released stable update

[MGHollander]

It's not about listing your products but it's about creating menu items to those categories. And as sad before. It is fixed in Joomla! 3.4.

For the time being I wrote my own fix.

Create a file in you active templates html directory with the name pagination.php. For example: /template/my-awesome-template/html/pagination.php.
Paste this code in it. It may not be the most beautiful solution, but it worked for me.

Don't forget to remove it after you update to Joomla! 3.4.

    $search = '/href="(.*)">/';
    $replace = 'href="$1?limitstart=0">';

    $list['start']['data'] = preg_replace($search, $replace, $list['start']['data']);
    $list['pages'][1]['data'] = preg_replace($search, $replace, $list['pages'][1]['data']);


    $html = "<ul>";
    $html .= $list['start']['data'];

    $pages = null;
    foreach ($list['pages'] as $pagenumber => $page) {
        if ($page['active'] === false && $pagenumber === 2) {
            $previous = preg_replace($search, $replace, $list['previous']['data']);
        }
        $pages .= $page['data'];
    }

    $html .= isset($previous) ? $previous : $list['previous']['data'];
    $html .= $pages;
    $html .= $list['next']['data'];
    $html .= $list['end']['data'];
    $html .= "</ul>";

    return $html;

}

Thank you, but it did not change anything.

I'm using joomla 3.3.6 with virtuemart 3.0.2 and I've tested on my live site. If SEF is enabled, it doesn't work, only with sef disabled it works. Any suggestions or fix?

[MAD King]

Wait until February 17th. Joomla 3.4 will be released then and it should be fixed, I hope.

@mediacompadova your VirtueMart is severely out of date and your Joomla version should be updated. Both are critcally insecure.
