This is an excellent module, the only thing that could have been better was the lack of SEF url's, well here's the fix thank to http://www.modasoft.co.uk.
Change the following file (before or after the install)
/public_html/modules/mod_virtuemart_product_categories|mod_virtuemart_product_categories.php
REPLACE THE FOLLOWING LINE (line 70) WHICH CURRENTLY READS:
"$link = JFilterOutput::ampReplace(JURI::base()."index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=".$menu_element['id'].$Itemidmod);"
TO THE FOLLOWING
$link = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=".$menu_element['id'].$Itemidmod);
And that makes the module work with SEF components like Artio JoomSEF.
Great job with the module guys.

This is a very nice module that should be included in the standard VM menu module. I have some concerns that there have been no updates in a year. Also, the URL's put out by the module within the html are not themselves SEF, so it would be great if that would work with either the Joomla native rewriting or sh404SEF or similar in the actual HTML output. Otherwise a great mod and as I said, should be part of core.
Easy to install and much cleaner than what comes with Virtuemart.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Download, install and publish. Easy as that! I was using mod_product_categories, it was placing the clicked on category link list on the front page without a navigation tree. This new mod keeps the correct navigation! Woohoo!
(short wish list)I would like to see the number of products option next to the category item link like mod_product_categories. "Virtuemart Link List - Extended Menu like" is a must have, keep up the good work!

This module is great, shame it took me two days to find it! It works perfectly out the box, took less than 1min to download, install and setup.
It seems insane to me that VirtueMart do not have this as standard. What web designer/developer in the world would not want to create a menu as normal CSS stylable unordered list?
Great work and one million thank you's! :)
