Virtuemart Downloadable Products Don't work 14 years, 5 months ago #8886

jeenious OFFLINE Posts: 2	Clicking the link in "account maintainance - order information" comes up with a 404 error. If I turn off JoomSEF it works perfectly. I am using the latest version of Joomla, the latest version of virtuemart, the latest version of JoomSEF and have installed the virtuemart plugin. Any ideas what could be wrong?! Everything else seems to work fine.

jaku	Hello, make sure you are using the latest version of VirtueMart extension for JoomSEF and JoomSEF. There has been a fix for this. After you have upgraded to latest version, purge all exisitng URL related to "account maintainance - order information", that is, including the string "page=account.order_details" in original non-sef URL.

I have the same problem.
The link that is contained in the email works fine, eg:

www.dow.org.au/index.php?option=com_virt...ca0fb704953bd98d7b6c

but the link that is contained in the product page produces a 404 file not found error...

www.dow.org.au/online-shop/download-area...ca0fb704953bd98d7b6c

The correct SEF link for the download page is this:

www.dow.org.au/online-shop/download-area (not download-area-2)

What do I need to modify in the VirtueMart ArtioSEF extension to get this to work?

Thanks,

Richard

Hello,

yes, that is right. It is because of bug in VirtueMart.
You will need to fix this in VirtueMart sources directly.

In file account.order_details.tpl.php in pages folder of your VirtueMart template,
around line 299 (at least with our VM install), make sure to change the link generation code to:

 
$url = $sess->url( $mm_action_url."/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.downloads&func=downloadRequest&download_id=".$download_id);
echo '<p><a href="'.$url.'" title="'.$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_DOWNLOADS_LINK').'">'

Hi - thanks for your reply - but I am still having the same problem.
The file is still generating 404 error links.

This is the code I am using:

if( $link_to_product) {
					$url = $sess->url( $mm_action_url."index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.downloads&func=downloadRequest&download_id=".$download_id); echo '</ br><a href="'.$url.'" title="'.$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_DOWNLOADS_LINK').'">'; 
					}	
 
					echo $dbcart->f("order_item_name");
 
					if( $link_to_product) {
						echo "</a>";
					}

Even where I have changed it to SEO code, it still produces a URL with "-2&" rather than "?" eg it should be download-area? rather than download-area-2&
