Synchronize media to VM brings File for x missing

[betterlead]

Hi,

When I "Synchronize media to VirtueMart" I get at least a hundred messages like this: "File for /home/livingstudio/public_html/images/stories/virtuemart/product/secrid-wallet-s-black-amazon.jpg is missing"

I understand this is both a removed product and a removed image. What is still calling for the files? Where can I find this and if possible, remove in  the database? Which table and which column?

This is significant on this site, that I have upgraded from J2.5 & VM2.5 to J3 & VM3

Cheers

Hi,

If you removed the file, you need to remove it from the "media" list. Else you continue to get this message.'File for XXX is missing".

I know it's a pain. Perhaps some core Dev add the feature to remove media not anymore existing.

Great! Thanks a lot Studio 42.
Yes a filtering option would be nice - one could then simply mark all missing files at once. But it was really quite simple, anyway, when I saw them all with an exclamation sign.

This leads me to next question: Do you happen to know what this message means?:

Error
vmError: COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID

Thanks again - you made my day and I learned more by spin off effect.

Hi,

This leads me to next question: Do you happen to know what this message means?:

Error
vmError: COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID

I have do a simple search for COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID:

Code Select Expand

if (strpos ($this->file_url, '..') !== FALSE) {
$ok = FALSE;
vmError (vmText::sprintf ('COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID', $this->file_url));
}
This mean that you have .. in the file url for a media.

Hi,

Ok, excuse my ignorance, what would be the cure?

fix the url .. it is saying u have a double .. in the url

if u provide a text for the constant like 'non valid url:  %s'

the url should also echo out after the error message

he cannot see the right message (and url) because he have :
vmError: COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID
this mean no language string at all.

Yep, true. I have searched for the constant and couldn't find it.
I'm still "out in the blue".

Maybe you have a general path problem? I have no clue, why it should not be translated and BE language should be enough

To add to the confusion-- in 3.0.11 components\com_virtuemart\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini I find line 521

COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID="Url is not valid"

but life is too short....

just add in administrator\components\com_virtuemart\tables\medias.php ~ line 105

//vmError (vmText::sprintf ('COM_VIRTUEMART_URL_NOT_VALID', $this->file_url));
vmError ('url not valid: '.$this->file_url);
