Troubleshooting

My item doesn't show up on the front end

Check these in order:

1. Is the item published? Check its Status in Components > Price List > Items.
2. Is the category published? An item in an unpublished category won't show either.
3. Do you have access? Check the item's Access Level against the user group you're viewing the site as, see "Permissions".
4. Is a publishing date set? PRO version only Check Start publishing / Finish publishing on the item's Publishing tab, see "Temporary items".

The Add Item or Edit button doesn't appear on the front end

Frontend editing PRO version only follows the same ACL permissions as the rest of the site. Give the visitor's user group Create or Edit rights on that category, see "Permissions". Without those rights, the buttons are hidden by design, not a bug.

My custom field doesn't show on the item

Check that custom fields are enabled for the component, that the field itself is published, that it's assigned to a Field Group the item actually uses, and that its Field Position (Before/After Name or Price Column) isn't set in a way that visually overlaps another field, see "Custom Fields".

My item isn't showing in the right language

Price List follows Joomla's own multilingual system. If a translated item isn't picked up when switching languages, its Associations tab probably isn't linked to the other language versions, see "Multilingual Associations".

The column heading doesn't change with the site language

If you typed a fixed word like "Price" into a Heading option, it stays the same in every language. Use a language constant like COM_PRICELIST_PRODUCT_PRICE instead and add a language override per language, see "Price Column options".

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the PRO version?

The FREE version covers a single price list with categories and items. PRO adds custom fields, frontend editing, featured items, scheduled publishing, access levels per item, version notes, multilingual associations, Multiple Categories menu items and the YOOtheme Builder integration.

Can I show more than one category on the same page?

Yes. Create a Multiple Categories menu item and choose the categories you want, see "Menu items".

Is a Download Key required for the FREE version?

No. A Download Key is only needed for automatic updates of the PRO version, see "Download Key".

Can I fully restyle the price list?

Yes. Price List follows your template's fonts and colors by default, and the component options include a Custom CSS field for anything you want to change yourself, see "Custom CSS".

Does Price List support multiple currencies?

Not automatically. The Price Prefix and Suffix in "Price Column options" apply to every item the same way. For items that need a different currency or unit, leave the prefix/suffix empty and type it directly into that item's price field.

Can I let clients manage their own items without giving them Joomla admin access?

Yes. Combine a restricted user group, category-level permissions and Frontend add or edit PRO version only, so clients can add or edit only their own items directly on the website.

Can I build a fully custom layout with YOOtheme?

Yes, PRO adds a Price List data source to the YOOtheme Builder, both for restyling the built-in pages via the Customizer and for adding a price list to any page you build, see "YOOtheme Builder integration".
