When any client visit the page 2 or 3 or...of any categoru, the limitstart is memorizated, and when mi client visit a new category of th shop, this category open in last limistart visited.

Can I create a rule or similar for in categories when limitstart don't are in url, the value forzed limistart=0 ??

My second problem ocurred but I she the virtuemart_manufacturer_id apeear in shop index.
In url saved automatic I see this:

If I search url in com_sef administrator i see 2 url for the product with "view=productdetails" and without "view=productdetails"

thank you! very much!!

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay.

The problem with limitstart could probably be fixed by a simple customization directly in VirtueMart's code. If you know PHP you can try to add the following code to the beginning of /components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.php file. Of course make a backup of the file prior to doing this.


I don't know why the URLs with virtuemart_manufacturerid were created. You could enable the URL Source Tracing so the information about its origin will be stored next time such URL is created.
It's very strange that the URLs contain the variable virtuemart_manufacturerid (with missing underscore before the "id" part). Maybe you have some custom URL somewhere on your website with this wrong variable?

Your 3rd problem may be caused by "Handle query variables as non-SEF" option being enabled in JoomSEF's Configuration on the Advanced tab. Try to disable it.

Hi dajo!

Hi put your code:
if (is_null(JRequest::getVar('limitstart'))) {
JRequest::setVar('limitstart', 0);
}
in: components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_virtuemart.php
and this work!

I think that its good don't write in VM files and you in the future versions add this.....please :D

Hi,

Basically I think this is VirtueMart's problem so VirtueMart should handle this.
But we'll consider adding an option for this in some future version of our extension.
