Hi,
Virtuemart 1.1.8
Joomsef 3.9.8
Virtuemart extension 2.1.5
order number 23353



We are facing a problem on internet explorer when we click the cart button in the pop up window that appears after adding product from product details page.

The button after clicking instead of moving us to cart page redirects us to homepage. What we realized is that this button has diffent url when viewing the website with ie .

Example :
Chrome and Firefox
hxxp://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.cart&product_id=87

internet explorer
hxxp://mysite.com/21-βαμμένα-μαλλιά/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.cart&product_id=87

For some strange reason when viewing the website with ie it appends the category name (21-βαμμένα-μαλλιά) in the url .

Please provide us a solution for this very important issue.

Hi,
Try setting the "Set page base href value" option to "Yes - always use only base URL" in JoomSEF's Configuration on the Advanced tab.

Hi dajo,

this is already set this way.

Try clearing caches in Joomla, JoomSEF and also in your web browsers.
Does the problem also occur when JoomSEF is disabled?

Hi dajo,

i tried your suggestions with no luck. If i disable Joomsef the button works fine on ie.

I've fixed the problem for you as part of your purchased paid support.

If anyone has this problem, it's caused by IE not taking into account the <base> tag's href value when redirecting in JavaScript using window.location, so such redirects should use absolute URLs.
