Virtuemart overriding Registry object - Default Joomla template.

[joomdev2]

Hello,

On our virtuemart install, our template params are not reflecting/available on the frontend, this is probably because our template is also using JRegistry to register and access params on the frontend.

I found the fix.
In the file:
components\com_virtuemart\helpers\vmtemplate.php
line 212

Code Select Expand

if($app->isSite()) $app->setTemplate($template,$registry);

Commenting this code fixes the issue. I understand this is only for virtuemart templates but it seems to be overriding the core template params.

Also, this is only applicable to the Frontpage (Depreciated) layout and the category and other layouts seems to be working fine.

My question:

1. Can we ignore this and assume that this would be fine working forward (as it is already with the category layout and other menu items).
2. Is there a bigger issue that would need to be fixed on the template level by the developer.

The template framework in question is astroid (astroidframework.com).

Thanks,
Chetan

then switch to the correct setup  of the home page ( if VM) is a menu to the root VM cat
