Two unresolved issues using J1.7/VM2 SVN Revision 3936

[jjk]

When I select a filter in 'Product List', the following Notice still shows up:
Notice: Undefined index: category in D:\xampp\htdocs\J17vm2svn\libraries\joomla\application\component\view.php on line 371
(But after the latest commits the ordering now seems to work nicely) 

When I try to assign an image to a product using 'Image Attach New' in the 'Product Edit - Product Images' view, I'm still unable to select pages other than page 1 in the 'Media List' popup (in my case currently 36 unselectable pages). When I click a page number, the button switches to grey background color, but the page doesn't switch to the selected page number. Somebody seems to have glued it to page 1 in the code :-)

-----------------
BTW - on the 'Product Edit' page - 'Product Information' tab - 'Product Details Page', the default setting seems to be "pdf" instead of "default".

Crazy, Using the category filter in the product list in BE creates this error
Notice: Undefined index: category in D:\Users\Milbo\Coden\workspace\VM2_j17\libraries\joomla\application\component\view.php on line 371

the line calling it, is $category_model = $this->getModel('category');

I just replaced that line doing it manually

if(!class_exists('VirtueMartModelCategory')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'models'.DS.'category.php');
  $category_model = new VirtueMartModelCategory();

and it works! What is j1.7 doing that suddenly the getModel method does not work anylonger as expected?

Nice to hear that

Works fine in j1.5, but not j1.7. We are on it.

BTW - on the 'Product Edit' page - 'Product Information' tab - 'Product Details Page', the default setting seems to be "pdf" instead of "default".

pre selects for me the default as layout in j1.5 and j1.7.

...just curious - in the BE Product List the "Reorder" column displays only when a filter is set. Working as designed or is the column actually missing in that view? (J1.7)

My module does not properly create the categories for the VM-2
Which table shows the categories for products.

and it works! What is j1.7 doing that suddenly the getModel method does not work anylonger as expected?

JView::getModel() can only retrieve models previously set (generally by in JController()) and indexed by strtolower(JModel::getName()). Perhaps the value from getName is somehow different than `category`? Easiest way is to test is to define VirtueMartModelCategory::$name (not $_name) and see if the setModel/getModel works.

[Milbo]

I never understood the sense of this yet. Why not just using the require and new?

[impleri]

Time. Processing the opcodes for require are brutal (and require_once is worse). It ends up being faster to use a central function which does, for all intents and purposes, perform like __autoload(). Only loading a class file once rather than having a require_once() in every file that needs the class is much faster. In Joomla, this is organised through the jimport() function and the getInstance() method in JController, JView, JModel, etc.

of course we use always the if class exist construction, I measured the time for 1000 calls, it is always the same, if you call it one time or 1000 times,...
