TOPIC: Children product not working when related products

Children product not working when related products 8 years 3 months ago #13437

Hello,

I'm not sure if the issue I'm facing is due to Virtuemart or template-related.
I'm on Joomla 2.5.11 and virtuemart 2.022a.

I create a product and set it as a parent. Then I create children products on a custom field set as "generic child variant".
I set "display parent as option": false and "Parent orderable": true.
In the front-end everything works just fine. The products show correctly and the drop-down list above the "add to cart" button works just fine.
The problems start when I add related products to my parent product. Then the related products show correctly but the drop-down list (to select one of the children products) doesn't work any more.

What could be the problem?

Thanks a lot!

Very interesting situation. "Child products" and "related products" shouldn't be related to each other.

Why don't you try this benchmark test to figure out who is guilty about this failure (Virtuemart or LightMart).

Rename this folder:
/templates/flexible_lightmart/html/com_virtuemart/
to
/templates/flexible_lightmart/html/com_virtuemart2/

By renaming this folder, you are actually de-activating the template-override on Virtuemart pages. So, you will be using the official Virtuemart Page layouts.

Then, check if things get back to normal. If the problem persists; then Virtuemart Core is responsible for this failure. If everything goes fine, then our template is responsible..

Let me know the result.

Regards.

Hello!

Sorry for the late reply.

I did as you said and the problem still persists, so I guess it's a core virtuemart functionality problem.
Should I put this question on the virtuemart forum? And if I do and I get a solution for the problem will it be ok if I paste here the proposed solution or the link to the virtuemart's forum thread?

Then again, do you have any ideas on how it could be solved...?

Thanks a lot!

to be honest with you, no i don't have any solution for you. Because as i said, it is a very interesting situation.

Please do, create the same topic in the VM forum and enter its URL into this topic to help others people who are suffering from the same problem..

FYI: While creating topic in VM Forum, make sure to clearly declare that "You tried with/without VM template Override but the result is the same". So nobody would blame our template for this failure ;)

If Virtuemart Dev team notice your topic, they might fix this problem in the upcoming VM version. Or maybe somebody already has a patch for this problem. There are many VM geek hanging around in the VM forum.

regards
