Link to category not working when SEO is enabled
« on: May 25, 2022, 21:12:39 pm »
I have situation:
Category1
     |__Sub category 1
Category2
     |__Sub category 2
I created two diferrent menu with types:
1. Menu item name: AAA. Type: Virtuemart-->Category Layout. Select a Category - empty
2. Menu item name: BBB. Type: Virtuemart-->Category Layout. Select a Category - Category 1, Sub category 1 and etc. (total 4 menu item)
When i disable in virtuemart configuration "SEO Disabled" to YES, url works fine (I can open AAA-->Category1-->Sub category 1) . But when "SEO Disabled" to "No" i can open only "AAA" from menu. I see two category: Category 1 and Category 2 with url to AAA (correct url aaa/category1/subcategory1)
J 4.1.4
VirtueMart 4.0.2 10661

SEO disabled
/aaa/view/category/virtuemart_category_id/23.html

SEO enabled:
/aaa.html

Ok - for fun i deleted dublicated menu. Now i have only BBB menu. I can select Category 1-->Sub category 1 from menu and i see products. this scenario is working (this scenario worked with two menu)
When i select and click on Category 1 i can't click on Subacategory 1 (see attachment).

Btw: i have website with dublicate menu and it's working. but versions is defferent J3.10.4 and VM 3.6.10. As i remember i had same problem but my solution was like this. J4.x and VM4.x is missing this item (solution for J3x.JPG)

Wow, that is really interesting raimiuxas. And your "doubled" menu items are a normal use case. One time you show just all products and then you have some "shortcuts".
Strict mode makes a difference, interesting. But really disturbing is, that you had to disable the category routing cache, hmmm.

When I create a menu item for the category, the URL is broken
Look in the top menu under the menu item "Irányjelzők", it's a virtuemart category
If I select a subcategory here (DOB-040), it already gives me a bad URL:
http://2022.autolampafutar.com/autolampa-webaruhaz/dob-040
It does not have the "iranyjelzok" url part.

If I go to the shop home page (Autólámpa webáruház) then the other categories are fine.
http://2022.autolampafutar.com/autolampa-webaruhaz?clearCart=0
Here for example when selecting the category "Ködlámpák" the subcategories contain the full category tree
http://2022.autolampafutar.com/autolampa-webaruhaz/kodlampak
Going down one more level: http://2022.autolampafutar.com/autolampa-webaruhaz/kodlampak/ft-111-led
This is perfect.

But the "Compasses" category in the top menu is wrong: http://2022.autolampafutar.com/autolampa-webaruhaz

I have tried the previously suggested setting but it does not work for me.
