TOPIC: Wrong URL for Virtuemart categories

Wrong URL for Virtuemart categories 14 years, 1 month ago #18572

My webshop is at www.alpakka.org/alpakkabutikken

For some reason JoomSEF have generated the wrong url for some categories, i.e.
/nettbutikk/categoryname instead of /alpakkabutikken/categoryname

How can I fix this? I cannot find "nettbutikk" as a name anywhere in JoomSEF. "Nettbutikk" is the menu item in Joomla pointing to the webshop, though. Is this why JoomSEF sometimes generates wrong urls?

Sometimes it even creates product urls where it uses "nettbutikken" instead of alpakkabutikken, so 3 different types of urls exists. I have done purges and updates, but it still regenerates the wrong urls

Hello,

in the settiings of VirtueMart extension, that is JoomSEF / Manage Extensions / VirtueMart, make sure to toggle off the configuration option "Use menu title" which is found under the "Common" tab.

Then of course purge the existing URLs contaiting the menu title and clean all caches.

That should help.

Sorry, but that doesn't work.

JoomSEF freaked out, and our webshop was completely offling all of a sudden, so I reinstalled JoomSEF and the extensions.

The menu item for the webshop was still called "nettbutikk", so JoomSef generated sef urls for everything "nettbutikk/somecategory". I changed the option in the virtuemart extension config to not use the title and entered "alpakkabutikken" as custom title, but it still doesn't work and everything is still "nettbutikk/somecategory" even after purging and clearing cache.

So I tried one more thing, and changed the menu item to actually be titled "Alpakkabutikken", purged and cleared cache. Still JoomSef is stuck on "nettbutikk/somecategory" in most cases but now sometimes just creates urls like "somecategory"!

I'm going nuts.

I just want everything to be "alpakkabutikken/somecategory". I could do it manually for every category, but that's not what I bought this tool for, right?

What do I do?

I just want to add that there are no menu item or any other object in Joomla at this point that is called "nettbutikk" or has a alias "nettbutikk". Still JoomSEF insists on creating urls called "nettbutikk/something"...
