The plugin allows searching of VirtueMart products including custom fields but excluding a list of comma separated category ID's.
The plugin is a replacement for the standard VirtueMart search plugin, useful for the case when you want to make one of more of your categories not showing up on search. For example you want to show up your sold items in the site, for historical reference and/or SEO reasons, but don't want to show them up in the site search results.
The plugin has an extra field compared with the standard VirtueMart search plugin, where you can enter a comma delimited list of category ID's you want to exclude from search results.
Be sure to unpublish the Search - Virtuemart plugin or VirtueMart Product plugin, and publish instead this one, showing up in plugin list as:
Search - VirtueMart Alternative search
version 4.2.2 - bugfixes and upgrades needed to compatibility to VirtueMart 4.2.2
version 4.0.12 - initial release
The plugin is compatible with VirtueMart 4. and tested and works on Joomla 3.10. and Joomla 4.*

A little component to manage related products in bulk easily for the current branch of VirtueMart.
You can filter for Category and manufacturer to select the target products, then select from the list the products you want to manage in the first step. In the second step you can select the related products, and you can save the obtained combination to be reused.

The plugin can be downloaded from our official Downloads directory or from Joomla Extensions Directory and installs as any other regular Joomla plugin. After installation you can find it among "system" plugins as System - YouTube Importer
This plugin periodically checks for the availability of new videos in the YouTube channels configured, and imports them as new content items in the associated categories according to your settings. The plugin action is triggered by front-end user activity. More visitors you have, more precise the timing is.
Use the search module anywhere in the site with a keyword wich should return one of the products from the Test category, for example "tests". If you don't see the Test product then the pludgin works. Is simple than that!
