Recently I upgraded to VM 1.1.2 and since then checkout doesn't function anymore!

Is this an issue with the VM extension of JoomSEF 3.1.2 or a bug? I'm using a paid JoomSEF 3.1.2 as well as the VM extension 2.0.0 (paid for it)

I know VM 1.1.2 has changed the redirection mechanism to use Joomla's $mainframe class method


Thanks

Michael

PS When I disable all SEF from Joomla/VM everything is fine!

I have the same problem.
Please, help!

Hello,

VM does not count with SEF URLs at all. There is a fix for JoomSEF, however, we need to test it thoroughly before we put it in next version:
In the file /components/com_sef/sef.ext.php around line 116 should be this code: "parse_str($QUERY_STRING, $vars);". Add the following code AFTER that line:


Please, create a backup of the file modified prior to doing this. Hope it helps.

david, thank you! you saved my life! :)

The statement fixed the checkout process but breaks the VM pathway...

Root VM path is missing from categories links...

e.g. Home -> Products -> MP3s

Home: site homepage (works)
Products: VM homepage (works, link is .../products.html)
MP3s: a VM category (doesn't work, link is .../mp3s.html instead of .../products/mp3s.html)

Hello,

The problem with pathway is again caused by VM itself not counting with SEF urls. This time, the fix needs to be done in VM.
File: /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/mainframe.class.php
Line 363: $cmsPathway->addItem( $item->name, str_replace('&', '&', basename($item->link)) );
Remove the basename function around $item->link, so the line becomes: $cmsPathway->addItem( $item->name, str_replace('&', '&', $item->link) );

This should be probably noted in VM's own forum.
