Hi, I read the recent post" Sidebar module position is not in the right place", I'm in a similar situation, but that post didn't helped.

I have two main menu categories A (ausili) and B (stanze multisensoriali) , each one has his own independent tree structure of subcategories and products.

When from the top main menu I select one of the two, say A, I'd lke to see a specific A-CATEGORY left sidebar listing all the subcategories of A, and this one works, and the same list of A's subcategories with icons on the main body.
Unfortunately instead in the mainbody I get the three main categories I've created A, B, and C (C is for special offers, both from A and from B ), and few featured articles, I do not want these last too, unless they belong to A.
If I select then A from the current mainbody I finally get the list of subcategories of A in the mainbody part, but the sidebar with A's subcategories is not on the left side but at the bottom of the mainbody.
Then if I select one of the A's subcategories from the mainbody, I get what I was expecting, a left sidebar with all the A's sub-subcategories, and in the main body everyting is ok with A-subcategories and A-subsubcategories until the leaf where I see the final product.

If then I go back to the main menu category B and select B, as before I wish to see a specific B-CATEGORY left sidebar listing all the subcategories of B, and this one works, and the same list of B's subcategories with icons on the main body.
Unfortunately instead in the mainbody I get the three main categories I've created A, B, and C. and few articles, I do not want these last too, unless they belong to B.
Again, If I select B from the mainbody I finally get the list of subcategories of B in the mainbody part, but the sidebar is not on the left side but at the bottom of the mainbody.
Then If I select one of the B's subcategories, I get what I was expecting, a left sidebar and all the B's sub-subcategories, and in the main body everyting is ok with B-subcategories and B-subsubcategories until the leaf where I see the final product.

So how can I have the expected sub categories listed in the sidebar and in the main body when at first I select one of the two main category from main menu?

Thank you in advance for your support

    Hi lorenzodf

    Could you take some articles and categories so I can replicate the same issue on your live site?

      Hi Saguaros, Ill try to do my best to be clear...
      PICTURE -1 This is the home page main menu. I select AUSILI
      PICTURE 2 I get this page but I should get PICTURE 3.
      At the moment from PICTURE 2 I have to select on the right side AUSILI to go to PICTURE 3
      PICTURE -2 This is totally unuseful, but the sidebar that is correctly listing the AUSILI’s subcategories. That’s the only correct thing. Also FEATURED PRODUCTS should not appear
      PICTURE 3 - This is what I’d like to get, from PICTURE 1 (where I selected AUSILI), all the AUSILI’s sub-categories, listed grapically on the mainbody, and alphabetically in the sidebar, but this last is misplaced
      PICTURE 4 (the same status as PICTURE 3)- If I select any element in the mainbody, or in the sidebar (at the moment wrogly placed at the bottom), it works perfectly
      PICTURE 5. This is ok
      Comment: If in PICTURE 1 I select STANZE MULTISENSORIALI. I get an equivalent behaviour, with the same PICTURE 2, with the correct SIDEBAR listing STANZE MULTISENSORIALI’s subcategories, etc etc

        Something wrong with the markup of this category page, could you share the ftp account also?

            lorenzodf
            I tried to login via Filezilla client but it didn't work, could you check again?

            Command:	PASS **********
Response: 	530 Login authentication failed
Error:        	Critical error: Could not connect to server

              Hi, you are right, it checks IP so it does not allows to proceed if the current ip address is not known.
              web hosting is aruba.it
              you should go into ftp section and add your ip address and save the data.
              then it should allow to go into.
              pls let me know

                lorenzodf

                It still doesn't work, could you add exception for these IPs? 113.190.254.239 / 118.70.176.221

                    saguaros done, I've added the exceptions.
                    Pls let me know if it works for you now.
                    I do not know what else I could try...
                    Thx in advance

                        saguaros hi, have you any update? I noticed you modified something having effect in the virtuemart's products pages...
                        Pls keep me informed of any progress
                        Thx

                            lorenzodf Hi. Isn't this problem fixed already? I've just visited Ausili, but sidebar is in right place:

                            Can You please confirm?

                                Hi teitbite and Saguaros,

                                thank you for your effort and support.

                                Apparently it has ben improved, but it is just for the sidebar, but with many regressions, for what I found looking here and there.

                                At the same time when selecting AUSILI from the horizontal main-menu I should get immediately its SIDEBAR and AUSILI's Subcategories, instead I get SIDEBAR and the two main categories icons AUSILI and STANZEMULTISENSORIALI. When I select then AUSILI from the ICON in the main-body, I get what I was expecting with the first original selection.
                                Same happens with the other horizontal main-menu option STANZEMULTISENSORIALI, I get SIDEBAR and the two main categories icon AUSILI and STANZEMULTISENSORIALI. When I select then STANZEMULTISENSORIALI from the icon in main-body, I get what I was expecting with the first original selection of the horizontal STANZEMULTISENSORIALI.

                                What is worst is : if I want to select a product having no price, for example "PUNTAMENTO OCULARE" and "EASYeyes - dispositivo a puntamento oculare" I see it has been lost all the SKU and price details, instead I get a word ARRAY that I do not know where it comes from
                                Similarly if i go to select a product where the cost is present, I have something different from what I got before your intervention.

                                I attach two screenshots of the previous data

                                and

                                Last, in the home page, I have featured products, you see that they are not ordered, after the first row of 4 element in the second row I have three free position and only the last one is occupied, then the third row is again fully occupied..... so i would say there has been a regression. {for this same issue I asked for your support recently.. check discussion "products displays"}

                                I hope you have written down all the modifications you did, What I'd like is to recover the previous status and please explain me what you did, might be also with screen shots, so I can carefully read and understand what you did to get only the positive elements, without any regression, without any modification in important elements for my website.

                                    I updated this file: /templates/gk_shop_and_buy/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

                                    <?php if(!isset($iBrowseCol)): ?>
	<div class="clear"></div>
</div> <!-- end browse-view -->
<?php endif ?>

                                    at the end of file to fix the sidebar issue.

                                    lorenzodf At the same time when selecting AUSILI from the horizontal main-menu I should get immediately its SIDEBAR and AUSILI's Subcategories, instead I get SIDEBAR and the two main categories icons AUSILI and STANZEMULTISENSORIALI. When I select then AUSILI from the ICON in the main-body, I get what I was expecting with the first original selection.
                                    Same happens with the other horizontal main-menu option STANZEMULTISENSORIALI, I get SIDEBAR and the two main categories icon AUSILI and STANZEMULTISENSORIALI. When I select then STANZEMULTISENSORIALI from the icon in main-body, I get what I was expecting with the first original selection of the horizontal STANZEMULTISENSORIALI.

                                    It's default behaviour of Virtuemart, if you assign that AUSILI menu item to a standard template of Joomla like Protostar, it will work with the same way.

                                    With the 'array' text, there seems to be issue with override for detailed page in template, I've reported to the team for update on this also.

                                    Regards

                                        HI saguaros, thank you for your explanation.

                                        LOCALLY : I tried locally to modify the file as you indicated /templates/gk_shop_and_buy/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php and I got the sidebar to go as expected on the side of the pages instead that at the bottom.

                                        ONLINE: To recover the order for featured products in the homepage in templates\gk_shop_and_buy\layouts\blocks I copied head.php as modified for your previous suggestion that I had locally.
                                        The wrong file is named now head_191104_error_order-featured_homepage.php

                                        ONLINE: To recover the codes in Virtuemart products in templates\gk_shop_and_buy\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails I copied default.php that I had locally.
                                        The wrong file is named now default_191104_error_products_code.php

                                        What still remains are the FEATURED Products (with title in English) at the bottom of the page if I select AUsILI or STaNZEMULTSENSORIALI from MAINMENU as already described above. I would not expct any FEATURED PRODUCTS in that position

                                        THX

                                            HI,

                                            thank you for all your support.

                                            After the current Virtuemart update, also the last issue has been solved.
