Hello David,

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for looking into it.

So my problem is caused by Virtuemart hey :(
Have you ever tried to get support from the Virtuemart team? I would be happy enough if they where only as active for just 10% of your response (and that is a compliment). Search for my name in their forum and you will only find unanswered questions.
So the option of getting help from that side goes in the bin.

The other solution: throwing in a lot of coding and probably get my hands burned..... jeeez no.
I started using joomla because my walnutsized brain handles that much. I certainly won't start coding.

Is there any other hint you can give me except throwing in a bag of $$$ to get around this problem. Other settings? The settings I use now are not sacred for me when other settings work better.

Regards

Guess what...

I did try to get help via the virtuemart forum for this problem and for the first time I got help.
My problem is solved.

It had to do with the virtuemart product category component. I didn't even know of the existance of this component. It never got installed correct on my server so it wasn't available for me.
I always had build my Virtuemart menu through the menuitems of joomla.
Well by doing so Virtuemart indeed looks for the wrong ItemID and the wrong URL is shown.

I could solve it by re-installing the virtuemart product category component and start using it as shopmenu. Next to that I had to completely remove the old Joomla menu i used for the shop.

Now Virtuemart shows the correct Url when visitors browse my shop.

Thanks for the help.

HINT don't use the joomla menu to browse a virtuemart shop. Use the product category component. You will even have a faster shop.

Hello,

I'm very glad that you've got the help and managed to fix your problems. I hope this topic will also help other people having problems with VirtueMart categories built using Joomla's menu system.

Best regards,
ARTIO Support Team
