TOPIC: Multiple item display in category views

Multiple item display in category views 6 years 4 months ago #15338

We have recently taken MaterialMart live on our site an noticed that a number of items are displaying multiple times in each category display area. What we found is that If shopfront settings include "show featured, top ten and/or latest products" to display these items in the tabbed area on the home page, then these products also display in duplicate or triplicate on the category pages.

If an item is marked as featured and is also a latest added item and/or a top ten item, it will display again for each listing plus the original item in the category. Only turning off the shopfront settings will prevent multiple item displays in the category areas.

How can I eliminate multiple instances of these items and still display the items on the tabbed featured area on the home page, as I don’t see this happening on your demo site?

TIA,

Ed

Hi,

Are you working on a live server? What is your website URL where i can check what is going on (screenshots don't really help)

But keep this in mind, MaterialMArt is just a template. MaterialMart can't decide what to show, what not to show. It just styles what is given to front-end from the backend (from VM core). What happens when MaterialMart is temporarily disabled? Do you still have that duplication problem?

To temporarily disable MaterialMart, follow these 2 steps:
1- Rename this folder:
/template/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/ to
/template/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart2/

2- Unpublished this plugin: "Flexible VM3 Template"

Once you do these 2 simple steps, you will notice, MaterialMart is completely vanished from your Virtuemart Pages. Please try it, and check whether or not you have the duplication problem you mentioned. If the problem vanishes, then it must be caused by MaterialMart and i will be happy to assist you to resolve that problem.

Regards.

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply; I did not receive a notice of your response.

Yes, the site is live at vcoa.org/marketplace/marketplace

I disabled MaterialMart and still have the duplication of items, so something in VM must be causing that. I have been through the raw database and all inventory and product listings and everything seems fine with no duplication of items, so I’m not sure what might be causing this.

A second question I have is that on the check out page there is a button requesting registration before confirmation which would normally send the user to Joomla’s registration page. We use CB for registration and have the Joomla registration and VM’s “On checkout, ask for registration” disabled and now users see an error when this button is clicked. When MaterialMart is disabled, this registration button does not appear, so it must be generated by MaterialMart. I’ve not found any plugin or template settings for this button; is there a way to disable this?

The last item is that although I have the “Ask a question” tab/link enabled in VM3 Flexible plugin, they no longer display on the site product page. Any suggestions?

As always, thank you very much for your assistance!

Hi,

On what page do you see that "registration" button? Can you provide me the URL? On the cart page? (vcoa.org/index.php/marketplace/marketplace/cart)

To enable the "Ask a question" tab on product details page, make sure it is enabled via Virtuemart Configuration as well. Navigate to Virtuemart Backend >> Configuration >> Shopfront TAB and look for this feature: Allows to Ask a question. Make sure it is enabled.

regards
