Products not showing when linked from Category

I am on version 1.4.4. The product was working very well when the menu items where linked to show products. I just added two categories and changed the menus to show categories and then let the users select a category to show the items.

I think I placed the four items into the FIT Camp category.

Well, I obviously messed up...

I only want the initial screen to show categories (2 up and 4 per page) with no products underneath and when I click on a category I want all the products associated with that category to show 2 up and 4 per page.

What have I configured incorrectly?

Here is the link

www.fitsolutionsnaples.com/index.php?opt...ut=listing&Itemid=60

If you PM me I will send site login info.

I did this and clicked the "Create Automatically" link. Now it shows the two categories with this label below "Product listing for category listing menu 60" (Which I do not want). And when I click on "FIT Camp" it only shows one product.

Same problem with two menu items

www.fitsolutionsnaples.com/index.php?opt...ut=listing&Itemid=60

www.fitsolutionsnaples.com/index.php?opt...ut=listing&Itemid=72

That solved this problem. Thanks

Another question, is there a way to increase the size of the thumbnails shown for the categories. The actual file uploaded is 256 x 256 but the thumbnail is showing much smaller.

Hi,

I have a closely related problem to the original post. Maybe it's the same.
Same Category links give different results


I'm using the latest version 1.4.5

I will have 100s of products which have to be divided into many levels of sub categories within sub categories. I want to show these within the page content so that the user can decide on the type of prints to browse without having to scroll through hundreds of images. This will be of no more than 2 sub levels. What I don't want is to create links to all these sub-categories from the main menu, as it will be very long.

I cannot seem to grasp the concept of Menus, Content Menus and Content Modules.

I've read and re-read the help files over and over but sorry, I just don't get it. I seem to be going around in circles. Unless of course I am trying to do something that is not possible

The nub of my frustration is this:

On selecting a link in the main menu (Shop Online) which is Type Category Listing, I successfully get a correct page which is the main Parent Category for all products - it shows the Title, Description and 5 Product Categories.

If I then click on "Limited Edition Prints" from the main menu, it too shows the correct content in the resulting page, which is a Product List. However, if instead I click the category link from within the initial "Shop Online Page", I do not get the products appearing.

I have created a Content Module and made the settings the same as I have for the link in the menu but how do I "attach it" to the category? I've done it for the menu item as an associated module.

I've attached some screen-shots to help explain.

Hi Nicolas

Yes, the menu item was created from the Joomla menu manager and that works fine, the reason I created an associated module was that I thought that's what I needed to have the products showing on the resulting page after following a link from within a page (not the from menu).

I have now selected "Synchronize with currently displayed item when possible" to 'Yes'. Still I have nothing on the page apart from the title of the category after following the link from within the page.

If however, as you seem to be suggesting, that I should not have to create the associated module, then should I disable it? And if so, what is the normal way for me to display the products when not using the main menu?

OK, so I disabled the associated module, and then within the content menu made sure no modules were selected and saved. I then clicked on the link to automatically make a new associated module. This is:
Associated products listing for category listing menu 69

I opened this and checked the radio button for Publish Yes. I changed nothing else.

The products are still showing if I use the left Main Menu but not if I click a link in a category listing page.

Here it is:

Yes. How should I send you the login details without others seeing ity?
