Joomla 1.5.26
Virtuemart 1.1.14
Joomsef 3.11

We're have the following error generating a lot per minute:

[07-Mar-2014 16:57:24 GMT0] PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in [REMOVED]\components\com_sef\joomsef.php on line 1877

[REMOVED] is not part of the error but for security issue I've removed the folder path

On line 1877 the following is stated:
$item->title = JoomSEF::_getCustomMenuTitle($option);

Is this a known issue, if not can I get some pointer to get this problem fixed?

David,

thanks! Yes, the alias is the solution!

Kind regards,

Nathlaie

Hi all,

I have the same problem. I'm moving from a oscommerce site to Joomla/VM with Joomsef and I do need to 301 urls like product_info.php?cPath=1_35&products_id=65 to the new urls.
I think this is a pretty common issue, I assume more and more people will be using this kind of redirections.

If anyone has found out what the testcondition is, could he/she please let us know?

Thank you and kind regards,

Nathalie

Yes, that's it!
Thank you

Hi!

I'm using VM Invoice 1.4.1 and have it registered alright I guess (since I've just used the online upgrade).

I notice that below my own footer, an Artio footer is placed:

" This document was generated using ARTIO VM Invoice - VirtueMart PDF invoicing solution.
www.artio.net/virtuemart-tools/vm-invoice-generator "

How can I remove this?

Kind regards,

Nathalie

Ok, I figured it out. Some new settings to adjust:

Fix index.php links: NO (defaults to yes)
Use index for sections and categories: NO (defaults to yes)

Hi!

My site was running nicely on 3.4.2, but just upgraded to 3.7.5. And now the site stopped working.
In Firefox, I get the following (translated from dutch):

Firefox has detected that the server's request for this address redirects in a way that will never end.

Do I need to modify the isapirewrite.ini, some setting in iis?

I hope you can help me.

Kind regards,

Nathalie

Hi Jan,

mm, I had performed the db updates as well. But, since config has been lost anyway, uninstalled and reinstalled. That works. But, when I want to upgrade to version 1.1.2 the following error is shown:

Entered Download ID appears to be invalid (incorrect length). Please, check it again. Your VM Invoice is not registered. You can not upgrade from ARTIO server.

I use the download id I received yesterday and used to download version 1.1.1.

Hope you can help,

Nathalie

Hi,

I've just downloaded the latest version, and tried to install it. It failed, since the directories were in use by com_vminvoice.

I've done the update manually then, by copying the files via ftp.

Unfortunately all settings and fields are gone. And while I try to save the download id for future upgrades, I get the following:

TableConfig::store failed - Unknown column 'params' in 'field list' SQL=UPDATE `jos_vminvoice_config` SET `params`='auto_manual=0\nauto_plugin=0\norder_status=P\npre_def_time_h=0\npre_def_time=40\nfont=arial\ncurrency_char=\ndate_pattern=Y-m-d\ncheckout_address=BT\ndelivery_note=0\nsend_both=0\ndelivery_address=ST\ncopy_admin=1\nadmin_email= This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

I guess something went wrong... Could you let me know how to fix this?

Kind regards,

Nathalie

Hi,

I need the footer text to be placed at the bottom of the page, not immediately below the orderitems/order total.
How can i do this?

Hi Edthenet,

what version of mysql server are you running? I 've had the same behaviour, turning on joomla error reporting gave an error in one of the queries. Server is running mysql 4.x
Testing the same on a server with mysql 5.x works fine.

Hope this will help you ...

kind regards,

Nathalie

Hi Jan,

Thanks, that works! Great! I think most issues are solved now..

I've found a way to work around the non-working checkout links. I also use it for the view order pages, those weren't working either I found out.

Basically I let Joomsef ignore the urls for the non-working links by creating custom urls for them.

Like this:

New Sef URL: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&next_page=checkout.index&page=account.shipto&Itemid=5
Old Non-SEF Url: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&next_page=checkout.index&page=account.shipto
ItemId: 5

Hi guys,

I think I'm onto something...

I have altered some settings in both JoomSef configuration and the JoomSef Virtuemart Extension and I now have no problems with limit & limitstart anymore.
Settings can be found here:
JoomSef configuration - JoomSef VM Extension

I do have however strange behaviour... The first step in the url is the name of the virtuemart menu item with the lowest id.

e.g. Menu item with lowest id is old-rare-kits.

When going to the malt category within "build your won", I would expect a url like
test.rarewhiskysite.com/build-your-own/malt.html
but I get
test.rarewhiskysite.com/old-rare-kits/malt.html

I'll continue the search for solutions..

Hi Jan,

thanks, the solution for vmcchk seems to work. I'll test this further in the next couple of days.

The urls are generated by Joomsef like this. I've purged them, cleaned cache and had them regenerated again.. No luck though. Could it be a isapirewrite ini thing?

Nathalie

PS. search on vmcchk in the forums only gives the url I noted in search results, not your link!

Hi Jan,

with regards to the vmcchk issue, I think you mean www.artio.net/en/support-forums/joomsef/...joomsef-v3-2-11#6580? Yes I had tried that, with exact same settings, no results.
Also added vmcchk to the Custom non-SEF variables. It happens less, but still every now and then.

Here's an example of the pages with limit:

test.rarewhiskysite.com/starter-kits/lis...20&limitstart=20
in the url manager I can only see
SEF: starter-kits/list-all-products-2.html
REAL: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&category_id=&page=shop.browse&Itemid=3

Example of link in checkout process:
test.rarewhiskysite.com/starter-kits/car...mp;shipping_rate_id=
in url manager:
SEF: starter-kits/cart/checkout.html
REAL: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&checkout_stage=1&page=checkout.index&Itemid=3

Thank you!

Hi,

I've purchased both Joomsef 3.3.0 and the VM extension 2.0.2 for a Joomla 1.5.10 with VirtueMart 1.1.3 installation.

I'm currently having trouble configuring the whole lot to haven Virtuemart smoothly. Normal urls are working great, so do a number of vm urls. But I have a few issues and am wondering if someone could tell me what the best settings are.

Some of the issues are:

- vmcchk=1 (sometimes, not always)
- pages with limit & limitstart (in result navigation) don't work
- links to pages backwards in checkout process don't work

I have tried lots of settings, always purging urls and emptying cache.

I hope we can resolve this, I have two more shops lined up after this.

If you wish to have a look: test.rarewhiskysite.com

Thanks!

Nathalie

Hi,

I've installed JoomSef 3.2.1 on a Joomla 1.5.7 site. Server has IIS 6 with IsapiRewrite4 and PHP 4.4.7.
Former installations of JoomSef 2.x on Joomla 1.0.x are all working on the same server.

But this one has all links redirecting to the homepage.

Could you help me with this?

Kind regards,

Nathalie
