Virtuemart lost category bypassing shop.browse


I can't believe, no one got my problem before. Using joomla 1.5 and VM 1.1.9. I'd like to have a personal menù (jquery) linking directly products (is just a portfolio/catalog). But if I don't follow shop.browse page, I lose category ID and I can't go forward and backward to other elements. Thanks Tru


Solution

  • A product can be in multiple categories, so you must specify the category_id that you want. Once VM finds that in the query string, it can navigate that category in the same way that you're expecting. It works properly from shop_browse because VM includes the first category_id that it finds for the product.
