Media file manager

[BaidareW]

Hello,

in joomla 2.5.2 and virtuemart 2.0.3b (also it was the same 2.0.2) clicking on media file manager icon (in product list view on backend) gives empty page and error "vmError: exeSortSearchListQuery Column 'ordering' in order clause is ambiguous SQL=SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `yy5qv_virtuemart_medias`.`virtuemart_media_id` as virtuemart_media_id FROM `yy5qv_virtuemart_product_medias` LEFT JOIN `yy5qv_virtuemart_medias` ON `yy5qv_virtuemart_medias`.`virtuemart_media_id`=`yy5qv_virtuemart_product_medias`.`virtuemart_media_id` and `virtuemart_product_id` = "27" WHERE `virtuemart_product_id` = "27" ORDER BY ordering DESC LIMIT 0, 3"

What could be the problem ?

I have the same error with same config

2.0.3e - same problem

[d0ublezer0]

This error means that for the sort field has not been explicitly specified table in which the field is located.
... ORDER BY `in this place shold be table name`.`ordering` DESC LIMIT 0, 30
to solve this problem change the file administrator\components\com_virtuemart\models\media.php
on line 42-43 (for 2.0.3.e) change code to:

Code Select Expand


$this->addvalidOrderingFieldName(array('`#__virtuemart_medias`.`ordering`'));
$this->_selectedOrdering = '`#__virtuemart_medias`.`ordering`';

That worked. Thanks!

Please, mark this topic as "Solved"

no is not solved.

This is an error in the core and hte reason is technical correct, but it is imho not the right fix. You use the wrong table and then you use the ordering of hte product and not of the medias. But good to know, will be fixed in 20 minutes.

I implemented two fixes

First I enhanced the ordering in general, we can add now a prefix table
second, I deleted the ordering of the media itself. Medias are still orderable but only related to some item like product or category

[d0ublezer0]

Milbo, thank you for your attention to this problem.
My solution was presented as temporary.

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that, after saving media, the media manager filter disappears, and we again see all the media files, and not related to one previously selected product.

Fix not working. After upgrade from 2.0.3e to 203G error comes again. Last time fixed with solution in this thread.

[d0ublezer0]

This fix works (by itself).
Just when you upgrade to 2.0.3G, this fix has been erased, because in the version G it is not implemented.
Milbo said, that the problems can be solved not so simple.

Perhaps, it was deeper than I expected.
