creating a menu-oriented with different levels in Joomla - joomla

I'm trying to create a menu-oriented module with the following menu :
Menu Shops :
Shops (category blog)
shop 1 (article)
shop 2 (article)
shop 3 (article)
shop 4 (article)
shop 5 (article)
I'd like to only show the 5 sub-menus shop 1 -> shop 5 in my module. When I create the module (Module Manager/Module Menu), I choose 'shops' as base item and '2' as start level. Unfortunately, it doesn't show anything.
But when I choose '1' as start level and '2' as end level, it only shows Shops.
I'm using joomla 3
Any ideas ?

Joomla menu modules cache is not working properly in these situations, just disable the cache of the module.

Products disappeared from the category page after adding Multi Vendor Marketplace For Virtuemart - Joomla

So, before i added "Multi Vendor Marketplace For Virtuemart - Joomla" the products would show on the page and on the category page that the product was, after i added it they're still on the main page that shows all products but they don't show on the category that they are.
There's some prints of me adding a new product to show what i really mean.
I defined the Name and the Categories and checkmarked "Published" Screen cap 1
I defined the Stock, Low Stock Notification and Availability Date Screen cap 2
Product saved successfully Screen cap 3
Just to guarantee Screen cap 4
Yeah, it's on the main page "Men's" category, don't mind the 2 stars Screen cap 5
It isn't on the men's category Screen cap 6
neither the accessories category Screen cap 7
Keep in mind that i'm a beginner with joomla.

List Categories and articles in Joomla

I'm trying to build a site with multiple categories and sub-categories in Joomla. The structure looks like this:
category 1
category 2
- category 3
- category 4
category 5
- category 6
- category 7
...
Each category has some articles.
What I want to do is create a navigation menu from these categories, so category 1,2,5 become top level links in the menu, while 3,4,6,7 become sub links in the corresponding dropdown list. (Update)And the articles under a category become sub links after the categories.
I've tried a few options:
Module Articles Category: It lays out all articles in a flat list without categories, not good
Module Articles Categories: It lays out all the sub-categories, but no articles
Menu item - List all categories: It gives the right result, but in a page accessed by clicking that menu item.
Menu item - single article: It's totally static and time consuming.
I'm wondering if there's a way of generating an ordinary normal navigation menu, like the ones you see in Amazon or ebay?
Why don't you create a menu structure that is similar to your category structure. So:
Menu 1 corresponds to category 1
Menu 2 corresponds to category 2
Menu 2.1 etc
You can then link each menu item through a category blog type menu item to the appropriate category. You can then configure how the articles should be displayed (multi-column, intro etc).

Joomla 2.5 show articles under subcategory listing

I have a main category ( infertility ) with subcategories (normal life , causes , diagnosis , treatment) , and under each subcategory there is a list of articles .
I tried all menu modes , list all cateogories , category list , category blog and all , inorder to display the list of articles under each subcategory in the same page but with no success.
Please advise
I want :
Main category
-Subcategory 1
--Articles1
--Articles2
-Subcategory 2
--Articles1
--Articles2
What i get is
Main category
-Subcategory 1
Number of articles 3
-Subcategory 2
Number of articles 5
I tried to do this recently with no joy. I did, however manage to pull it off in about 5 minutes after installing K2. Use the 'Latest Items' menutype and instead of selecting the parent category, selecting the all child categories.
Pretty severe solution, but it works.

Joomla / Virtuemart - How to display level 2 subcategories on virtuemart homepage?

I have a Joomla shop that stocks parts for cars.
I am using the Virtuemart component to handle the shop aspect.
The top parent categories for my products are;
Air filters
Oil filters
Fuel filters
Pollen filters
This means that the virtuemart side menu displays these 4 options, which is fine.
However, for the shop (virtuemart) homepage I want to display all the level 2 subcategories;
Audi
BMW
etc
I can't seem to find a ay to do this. Currently I'm stuck with just the 4 top parent categories being displayed on the homepage, when really I want the car manufacturers displayed there.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
1) Simple answer: you can try this hack, which displays all subcategories:
in administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_product_category.php, look for the line
$allowed = false;
if( $depth_list[$n] > 0 )
{
change it to
$allowed = true; //show all by default
if( $depth_list[$n] > 0 )
{
2) I think the real issue here is more your organizational/classification system... it's probably not optimal to be using categories/sub-categories to represent brands/makes as well as types-of-products.
I'd suggest you look more into Virtumart documentation and read up on "Product Types" as well as "Product Attributes" -- I think these would be more suited for what you're trying to do (as I believe you can filter cross-category product-search-results by product-types)
hope this helps,

Virtuemart 2.0 now displays 2 levels which will fit your need. To go 3 levels deep you can use a workaround until a third party module comes.
The workaround is here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=96816.msg321564#msg321564
