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.

I'm very new to Magento 2 framework. I have a total of 14 top-level categories in my site but it's showing only first 10 categories in frontend menu navigation only. I tried to set Category Top Navigation = 0(Maximal Depth). But it doesn't effect on the frontend. Can you guys please help me to overcome this problem?
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.
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).
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.
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
