Please help,
We are using this template and have set Virtuemart to be the homepage of the website so that the categories show on the home page.

The problem we are having is when a user clicks on any products or categories, the modules in the ‘mass-top’ position are still showing when you get to the main products details page.

We want the modules to disappear.

We have only select the homepage for the modules to appear on in the modules admin settings, but they still appear on all pages.

You can view our test site at:

Please tell us how to stop this?

Regards,
Reders

Dear reders!

Please check the links of categories and products, they have not the ItemId parameter. The ItemId is the id of menu item. The Joomla ‘ll display modules following menu item, meaning follow the value of menu ID. If the link has not the ItemId parameter, so the joomla ‘ll understand that you are staying at the “Home Page” menu ( as default menu). To fix this issue , Please kindly create the “Shop” menu having the menu type to be the “Vitual mark” Component

Good luck

Hi There,
Thanks for the help, but this has not worked.
I have had this problem before. We want to have Virtuemart as the home page and not create a button called shop.

We have also created a button called shop, but we still have the issue.

Please help.
Regards,
Reders

Hi all,
We have managed to sort this issue.
If you set Virtuemart as your Default Hompage, Joomla automatically assigns the same item id to all the product categories on your website, so the modules do not know which page to show or not.

The hack we found arround this is to open the file:
administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_session.php

Around line 548 you need to change:
$Itemid = “&Itemid=” . ($tmp_Itemid ? $tmp_Itemid : $this->getShopItemid());

to

$Itemid = “&Itemid=2” . ($tmp_Itemid ? $tmp_Itemid : $this->getShopItemid());

Basically all we have done is put the number 2 into the itme id, this way it tricks Joomla into thinking it is a different item.

Regards,
Reders

Dear Reders!

I think that you controlled this issue, because everything working well with the home menu and products category links

Thanks

Hi Tien,
Yes I have managed to control the modules when a user navigates the categories on the site, BUT
when you add products to the shopping basket and you view your cart and start going through the checkout process, the modules re-appear.
Please see the attached pic.

Because the CheckOut Page, Cart page…. they are parts of the component which having one ItemId Value, so that you could not enable or disable anymodules on some pages of the virtuemart component,

You must to fix code: check and only displays the Joomla Tag (which includes modules ) if current page is not checkout page.

For example:
[PHP]
<?php if( JRequest::getVar(‘page’) != ‘shop.checkout’ ) : ?>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”my-module” style=”JAxhtml” />
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]

Hi Tien,
I have tried putting the following code into the file :
/templates/ja_mesolite_ii/layouts/blocks/main.php

<?php
$mass_top = $this->getPositionName ('content-mass-top');
if($this->countModules($mass_top)) ; if( JRequest::getVar('page') != 'shop.checkout' ) : ?>
<div class="ja-mass ja-mass-top clearfix">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="mass-top" style="JAxhtml" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

And it does not work?
Do you know if I am doing this correctly?

Regards,
Sean R.

Hello Sean R,

Please retry using the following code

<blockquote><?php
$mass_top = $this->getPositionName (‘content-mass-top’);
if( $this->countModules($mass_top) && JRequest::getVar(‘page’) != ‘shop.checkout’ ) : ?>
<div class=”ja-mass ja-mass-top clearfix”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”mass-top” style=”JAxhtml” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?></blockquote>

Sorry for my mistaken on my solution

and here is right solution:

$mass_top = $this->getPositionName (‘content-mass-top’);
if($this->countModules($mass_top)) ; if( JRequest::getVar(‘page’) != ‘checkout.index’ ) : ?>
<div class=”ja-mass ja-mass-top clearfix”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”mass-top” style=”JAxhtml” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]
