Categories problems after update to 3.2.0

[EsSa55]

Ok, by 'does not work', I meant by whatever it was supposed to achieve different to its previous behaviour.

My backend behaves exactly the same as with the previous version.

Thanks

I don't know if the Milbo file had to solve my problems with  categories but I still have same problem.

Hi all, and Milbo.
Sorry for not getting back to you before : weekday job/life . . .

It doesn't seem fixed on my live or test site Milbo. i haven't touched anything all week, yet..

Long time user, first time poster.

I'm using
Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)
PHP 7.0.17
Joomla 3.6.5
VirtueMart 3.2.1

And see the same weird issues with the categories.
The setup was on an brand new installation, with brand new joomla and brand new VM3.2.1.
There is dual language. EN and NL. However the main page and datafilling is all in EN. There are only a few categories that have dutch descriptions, but no translations for manufacturer or products:

In short:
Add product -> Enter stuff -> Select Category -> "Save" -> Category empty.
--OR---
Edit product -> Change stuff -> Remove Category -> "Save" -> Category set back as previous category.

If I can help someone by producing traces or logs, let me exactly know what I have to do!

Edit product -> Change stuff -> Remove Category -> "Save" -> Category set back as previous category.

Quick 'workaround' :
Edit product -> CTRL + F5 to refresh again -> Categories reloaded OK -> edit Stuff -> Save -> Categories OK.

Try this file, extract to components/com_virtuemart/assets/js

For me it is working now correctly with this file

Thanks

[macigatto]

I got same problem, not able to change categories in product editing.
now with this new file JS it is working fine.

I hope it will be in next release of VM.

thank you

[aftertaf]

I still have the issue on my live & test sites. with firefox, F5 is enough after a change of category & save in the prodcts screen, to refresh any category changes.
In FireFox, I see the text 'loading...' for a split second when refreshing with F5, but not when it does its own refresh when saving.
Tested with Test istraxx Fr product.

The patch file has not helped me.

Ctl+F5 does work but should obviously not be necessary.

Update to VM3.2.2 which has bugfixes - http://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/480-security-release-of-joomla-3-7-be-prepared

[EsSa55]

Thanks.

Already updated.

Issue the same.

I have tried a fresh install and that is fine.

Not practical for live site though.

[Milbo]

This can be an old js library. Please check also the new language option and enable the dual fallback.

[EsSa55]

This can be an old js library.

What is the solution, please?

Please check also the new language option and enable the dual fallback.

Dual fallback is already enabled, although since we do not use 2 languages, it should be switched off?

Either way, whichever combination of Fallback options I select, makes no difference.

Only Ctl+F5 visually populates the Category field

We have 12 languages, 11 sub-domains + default GBP.


TIA

[Milbo]

When you have more than 2 languages, you should of course not use the dualfallback. I think (hope) it is anyway deactivated then. The new options to see the used language should help you to understand if you use a fallback or not.

You must also differ problems between the FE and BE. It can be also a systemplugin, which interfers. There are some systemplugins for VM, which load the Config, which sets the language and this can happen, before the language switch, so it loads the wrong language. The solution is here to use the new parameter of "loadConfig" to prevent initialising of the language.

[aftertaf]

Me too, still have problems.
Can you give us an idea of which js library might be old?
