Images break category BUG

[Darko F.]

So I made clean install,
I even create database and Joomla 4 install just to be sure  then I install install on test site package  com_virtuemart.4.0.7.10711_package_or_extract.zip
And when I create category worked well I save category as should without images. But then I upload picture to category .png and this brake page, I upload one more in new category .jpg and this also brake page.

Is a bug I think

In my case, I was doing updates with added products that already have images added.
I get an error when I try to edit any product with a picture:

Call to undefined method VmMedia::displayFilesHandler()
JROOT/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/views/product/tmpl/product_edit_images.php on line 28

Missing function displayFilesHandler() In the file:
administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vmmedia.php


I think the developer rushed too much with the update

[Darko F.]

Funny thing is that I also update on existing J4 test website and from 20 categories 15 of them lost pictures but five not.

The difference is  between this who have pictures they are all .jpg and in resized folder but another were to ,jpg  but not in resized folder and they desapear 

/category/ploscice-struzne.jpg - desapear

/category/resized/cutting-grinding_0x90.jpg - picture in resized folder stay there

Cant enter from admin in any of the category tho.


I would like to migrate on Joomla 4

I completely done website already except  shop on it, I waiting on stable VirtueMart version for J4.

Unfortunately my knowledge is not good enough to fix code

All I can do is testing, and hope for the best.

noimage_new.gif is existing ?

[Darko F.]

No is not
vmError: File not found /home/xxx/domains/mysitei/private_html/assets/images/vmgeneral/noimage_new.gif

In config I have
General Assets URL: components/com_virtuemart/assets/

When I go in these folder via FTP I don see any  noimage_new.gif there

Also why try to find in /private_html/assets/ should be  /private_html/components/com_virtuemart/assets/ or I'm wrong?

[Darko F.]

com_virtuemart.4.0.7.10713_package_or_extract.zip

These package, correct issues with image, also search with special characters work hooray for that, and thank you.

Unfortunately still cant enter from admin custom fields and pagination don't work.

Also why try to find in /private_html/assets/ should be  /private_html/components/com_virtuemart/assets/ or I'm wrong?

Also found this one. Please try https://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/1332/com_virtuemart.4.0.7.10714_package_or_extract.zip

[Darko F.]

So I install  com_virtuemart.4.0.7.10714_package_or_extract.zip on Joomla 4
Installation was successful, and Images in categories and products work, as should, (was worked with om_virtuemart.4.0.7.10713_package_or_extract.zip already), search work with special characters,
Unfortunately still cant enter from admin custom fields and pagination don't work.

I tested with Joomla 3 and install this version on all my joomla 3 alive working websites, I need it because search with special characters badly, almost nothing was found on our shop without Š Č .

On J3 everything work as should we could enter custom fields and all.

Except minor error in J3 and J4
Update: :Extension: Could not parse http://virtuemart.net/releases/vm3/plg_vmcustom_download_simple_update.xml

Great work I must say for now.

Hope custom fields and pagination will be solved also on J4 and we can update our sites.

I think the developer rushed too much with the update

Yes. The vm4.0.7 so far was a bugfix only version. Except the changes of vmEcho were for debugging convenients. But I have since years the idea, to rewrite the mediahandler, make it smaller. I managed that, but the performance hit was almost none. But it had this sideeffect in the BE editing. So I removed it.

I will add this idea (if it makes a performance difference) in a later version. Not in vm4.0.8

[Darko F.]

There are few other errors in Joomla 3, they are minor not connected with images, but I write any way just if somebody decide to use these last update on working sites as I did.

So most important on J3 websites I don't use native reviews system  I use one from GJC design so I don't know if native reviews work.
I test review on J4 it save review, I can see it in admin panel and I publish it, but on front page at product display  i get message - there is no review for this product - but it give 5 stars to the product so working partially.

Another you can't use Pdf view from front page and you cant edit product from front page in J3 and J4.
TypeError when wiev pdf in J4

Hope this helps.
