Getting: Please create a menu entry for Virtuemart 2 years, 6 months ago #504

Saturday Morning Comics! OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3	What exactly does that message mean and how do I fix it? Joomla 1.5.15 Virtuemart 1.1.4 Mynxx Template www.saturdaymorningcomics.net Sadly I couldn't keep the scroller published, because it crashed my site. You can still go to the site with my default scroller. Side question: is there a way to just have it pull from all items, or are you confined to place each one in? Thanks for the help.

Hello -

The error means that you need a menu link to your Virtuemart component. It doesn't have to be a visible link. You can add a link to a menu whose module is not published.

There is a link in this folder that tells you how one guy did it.

The purpose of the module is to let you publish the categories you specify to the instances of the module you want to show them in. The module doesn't have a "show all" option. Just fill in the list of category IDs that you want to show on any given publication of the module.

See above. You solve the issue by having a menu link to the Virtuemart component. The scroller uses the menu link to build the URL.

If you don't want the Virtuemart link to be viewable from the main menu, you can use this solution to have a hidden link:

Had the same problem. Want to use this module but dont want a store menu item.

I was just about to go postal because i don't want to to use the default VM ugly store layout on the website. Then i thought of a work around that works.

1. If you get the publish first error create a new menu, other than main. Call it mod_othermenu
2. Then add the virtuemart component to the new menu.
3. Make a new main menu module, for the position, click it then backspace and write in a position that does not appear in the theme. Call it content.
4. Allocate the name, it wont show up because of step 3, make sure it is for the other menu not the main and save.

You can have the scroller appear, no publish first and you can not use the ugly virtuemart store link (that is visable anyway).

I have the same problem as discribed in this topic.

Allready folowed the instructions as discribed but still get the message eigther when using the catagory scroller or the product scroller.

Any further advise to where i should find the problem?
(is there a manual available for working with these scrollers? i am probably making some error or not setting some parameters correct but cannot find what i am doing wrong)

Kind regards,
Peter
