Blank VM front page - VM product module not working after upgr to VM 3.0.6.2

[stensbo]

Using Joomla 2.5.27, Multi language (only DK in VM), Beez20 copy template, Virtuemart 3.0.6.2, PHP Version 5.6.6, vm overrides.

Joomla site is live - danrider.dk - vm shop is only for registered shopper.

Hi,

Just upgraded our test site. ( VM and AIO - no errors). When I login I get a blank page -  should have been VM FrontPage (normal with category (Phoca Dtree), cart, login, featured products). I can catch the top menu with url - Your account, your orders a.s.o and they Work fine.

(Everything worked in VM 3.0.6 except from featured products - modul did not respond if I disabled a product as featured - product still showed up and had a wird price.)

What have changed in VM3.0.6.2 that can cauce a blank VM frontpage.

When I login I get a blank page

Enable in joomla config and vm config the developer error reporting mode and the vmdebug, that should help to see the error.

(Everything worked in VM 3.0.6 except from featured products - modul did not respond if I disabled a product as featured - product still showed up and had a wird price.)

Because it is using its own cache configuration. So you just saw the cached module.

What have changed in VM3.0.6.2 that can cauce a blank VM frontpage.

Hi,

Thanks -  attached error.

Disabled Category dTree and got frontpage back  - have to solve this with another category modul    ?

I am sure Mr Phoca can solve this fast. The reason is that it is using a call which is deprecated since more than  a year, but I see my little error breaking the BC, will be fixed soon. Thank you for reporting

change in the category model /adminstrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/category.php at line 128 this

if(trim($this->_selectedOrdering) == 'c.ordering'){
   $this->_selectedOrdering = 'c.ordering, category_name';
}

to

if(trim($selectedOrdering) == 'c.ordering'){
   $selectedOrdering = 'c.ordering, category_name';
}

Thanks Milbo,

Changed the code and asked Mr. Phoca if he can solve this.

Category dTree is back and appears to Work - still problems with featured product

[Milbo]

delete the cache

[stensbo]

I allready did that few times before last post..

Just tried Again and now featured products also appears to Work - thank you.

[stensbo]

Hi,

No - featured products does not Work anyway - please see attached.

Mr. Phoca said - no fatal error, so this should be OK

[Milbo]

Non of the errors is in vm

try to turn off caching in your featured product module settings

[stensbo]

Thanks - have tried that  - no difference.

Settings in module are: Layout: default, Show: featured product, Shown product: 3, Product in a row: 3, Show: Div basered, Price : yes, Add to cart: no, Header Text: xxxxx, FooterText:   , Use category filter: no, Category:  xxxxx, MOD_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_CACHING_LABEL  : yes, MOD_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_CACHING_TIME_LABEL: 300

With this settings module does not Work. In firebug the X link - that shows up instead of a product - says that" it failed to load the given URL".

If I change the Use category filter: to yes  and set a category  the module is working and displays 3 products properly.

[Milbo]

Disable that MOD_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_CACHING_LABEL
or just delete the cache manually

[stensbo]

I have tried to disable cache in this module - even when cache is disabled and cache is deleted manually the module does not Work.
It only display products properly if I enable category filter as mentioned in last post - I want to show featured products from different categories.

Joomla 2.5.28 - VM 3.0.6.4

Reverted test site back to VM 2.5.16 and did a new upgrade to 3.0.6.4 - still not succeeded to get VM featured products module to Work. Only 1 or 2 out of 3 products are displayed correctly - with normal settings for 3 Featured products in a row. This is with Beez20 template on.

I figured out a small workaround since module displays 3 products properly if I change the Use category filter:  to yes.

Created a unpublished category : Featured -  assigned featured products to that one to - set Use category filter: yes  - set Category : Featured and wupti 3 products in a row displayed properly.

I think module are supposed to  Work with normal settings so if you have any ideas what might be wrong it would be nice
