#1136 – Problem with vm search results page

Hi

This is usually a bug in the search module. Please provide a direct link to a page where we can see the problem.

Hi

If I turn off sh404sef , it works

Yes, and despite that the problem is a bug in the search module and not in sh404SEF.

The problem is not for the search module (top on the page) , but on the other search product form

Yes, I know. The Joomla search modules don't have any such problems.

The module is sending the request to the wrong URL, it's missing the "option" field (ie 'com_virtuemart'):

http://www.xxxxx.altervista.org/index.php/?keyword=acerbis&search=true&view=category

This is because the URL in the form is wrong:


Can you disable sh404SEF and tell me what the form URL is in this case?

We are not going to find anything that way. I'm going to have to debug your module, and for that I will have to make a backup and install locally to debug step by stap and tell you how to fix it.

Do you have a akeeba backup installed? that'd be the simplest way.

Hi

maybe problem is with rewrite mod on server?

No, the server has no impact on the content of your pages.

The bug comes from here, as explained above:

http://www.xxxxx.altervista.org/index.php/?keyword=acerbis&search=true&view=category

This problem doesn't exist on a stock Virtuermart 3 module, so I assume your template has overrides for it (though I can't say of course, only the theme maker would know)


As obviously the template maker won't budge on this, it's going to be on me to find the bug, so as requested above, please provide us with superadmin credentials to your website. You can create a temporary account, and delete it afterwards, but it must have superuser level.

Thanks and regards

Hi

Exactly I expected, this is a bug you have introduced when you did your template overrides in

/templates/t3_blank/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

Around line 185, you have only partially copied the original layout code, or maybe you didn't copy from the original. One way or the other, you are missing the last 2 lines of the form:

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart"/>
		<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_category_id" value="<?php echo $category_id; ?>"/>

As a side note, your site is extremely vulnerable to multiple attacks, as bot Virtuemart and Joomla are outdated.
VM has had at least one security release (3.0.8). As for Joomla, at least update to 3.4.5 released tomorrow, which seems to be a major security vulnerability.

Hi

Closing this ticket now, feel free to open a new one as needed. If you do so, please mention this ticket number in the new one.

If you created any superadmin account for us, be sure to delete or block it now to avoid unecessary risk in the future.
