When I create categories in Virtuemart and then enable Joomsef the urls always seem to revert to the 'Home' page and not straight into the category pages..

Example, the url without joomsef reads : www.mydomain.co.uk/component/virtuemart/...&category_id=98.

When joomsef is enabled and urls are updated it reads : www.mydomain.co.uk/home/mycategory.

Because it includes the 'home' part in the site then adds virtuemart and its contents / categories to the home page i'm having a nightmare with it.

Can anyone help.

Thanks

Hello,

This seems to be a problem with wrong Itemid set in the VirtueMart link. It could be solved by this:
Go to Manage Extensions in JoomSEF Control panel, open the VirtueMart extension parameters and on the Common tab set "Itemid handling" to "Override" and "Override Itemid" to the Itemid of your VirtueMart's item in the menu (you can find the Itemid in Joomla's Menu Manager).
After this go to Manage SEF URLs and delete the URLs for VirtueMart component, so they can be recreated. Also clear the JoomSEF's cache if it's enabled.

Hi There

Thanks for such a quick reply, worked perfectly, top service.

I've now further developed the site and stumbled upon two new errors.

When you go to the final part of check out I'm getting the two following messages:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$params in /home/fhlinux007/f/frankingink.co.uk/user/htdocs/temp2/components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_virtuemart.php on line 243

and

Notice: Undefined variable: default_font in /home/fhlinux007/f/frankingink.co.uk/user/htdocs/temp2/templates/vmshopblue/utils/t2j_fontchanger.php on line 12

Any Ideas?

Thanks again.

Hello,

The Notice level errors aren't dangerous and usually only mean that the developer omitted something. Anyway all error reportings should be disabled on the production site for security. You can disable it in Joomla's global configuration on Server tab using the Error reporting option.

As regards the notice in VirtueMart extension - please, post which version of VM extension do you use, so we can check if it's still there and fix it.

Thanks agin for the speedy reply.

I've disabled the 'Error Reporting but they are still showing.

The first error only appears when Joomsef is enabled.

The second appears always unless I change the template.

I'm using VirtueMart 1.1.4 with template vmshopblue version 1

Hi,

The option doesn't always work, it depends on your hosting. In that case, add this line to the beginning of your .htaccess file:

or contact your hosting provider to switch error reporting off for you.
