VirtueMart 2.0.1

[jenkinhill]

VM2.0.2 works fine with Joomla 2.5.1's native SEF. Not with J1.5, though.

That's what it was... I turned off SEF for 1.5.25 and the error went away.

I have the same problem when upgrading an eshop from vm 1.1.9 to vm 2.0.2.  I have joomla 1.5. Go to your joomla site menu and edit the menu item that points out to your eshop.  The vm2  has various types for the menu, not only one Type = Virtuemart that the 1.1.9 had.  If you correct the type of your eshop menu item, this error message in the front - end goes away.

Penelope,

Could you clarify something for me ?
Are you saying that in the Joomla Global Configuration you have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to YES and you are not getting errors in the front end ?
And of the 18 odd Virtuemart menu configurations - which one are you using ?

Many Thanks

  Yes, I too turned off SEF in Joomla and errors went away. I tried every possible work-around between Joom SEF and VirtMart SEO.. to no avail.
Is so wierd that it all worked fine for a week with pretty URL's !

Any ideas? Would really get back to SEF URL's or what is the purpose of it in the first place!

I had the same error. Joomla 1.5 and VM 2.0.6 and the solution of penart works for me.
You have a lot of different menu choises and you have to choose the latest one. VirtueMart - VirtueMart Front page

Hi there guys!

I found how to fix that error. It is really simple, just somebody has to read it.

Open menu.php and find line 127. Add quotes to $id just as it is shown below:

if (isset($this->_items["$id"]))

It works perfect for me.

I really don't know php much, but from another forum they spoke about the same error and I saw a reference to this page http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing and decided to read it.

Hope this helps

Using Joomla 1.5.2 and VirtueMart 2.0.6 and had same problem, the message appeared if I marked Search Engine Friendly URLs (from the Global Configuration) to Yes and if I marked as NO then the error message would disappear. Here what I did:

• on Global Configuration marked Search Engine Friendly URLs to NO and Use Apach mod_rewrite to NO too
• Installed AceSEF
• On the website root (the main folder), I renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess
• Went back to global configuration and marked Search Engine Friendly URLs as YES and Use Apache mod_rewrite as YES

Now it works, not sure if installing AceSEF made any diffrence and in fact I didn't install it to fix it but it did fix so I guess you guys could have a go and see if it works, the program is free and you can find here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef/10019?qh=YTo2OntpOjA7czozOiJhY2UiO2k6MTtzOjI6ImFjIjtpOjI7czozOiJzZWYiO2k6MztzOjQ6InNlZnMiO2k6NDtzOjU6InNlZicuIjtpOjU7czo3OiJhY2Ugc2VmIjt9

Hope it works for you guys too. Best of luck
