It's already working on my Joomla 1.7RC test site ;)
Forget 1.7 and think about 1.8 compatible ;)

You got the point! ;-) . But as long j1.7 is there, we try to stay compatible. ATM it is working.
If virtuemart works with Joomla 1.7 why does the download link say that it is only for 1.5x??
Which download link says it is only for j1.5?
I am using J1.7 and VM 2.0 RC.
my problem is in the backend of vm2 the label says:
COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_LIST_LBL - instead of Product List..
COM_VIRTUEMART_CATEGORY_LIST_LBL - Category List
COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_MOD -Order and Customers
COM_VIRTUEMART_PAYMENT_METHOD_LIST_MNU - aPayments and methods
ariesrei which RC version? We are now at filename RC2c
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=85643.0
I have had some problems like ariesrei mentions (labels not being correct) but in other parts of Joomla 1.7. They all had to do with non-translated strings. Could that be the case?
The problem is that the language files for j1.7 are very strict. The reason is to improve speed and performance.
When there is only one typo the language file does not work and then you see the language keys and not the translation. When you have problems with other components then take a look on the wiki here dev.virtuemart.net and in the wiki of joomla to correct it. Most time it is not soo much to do.
I have problems making i work, when I try to publish a VM module i get only the following message:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /var/www/rittermann.org/cdl/libraries/joomla/plugin/plugin.php on line 102
What did I do wrong?
This is a problem we had since yet only in j1.7 and did not had the time to address it yet. Sorry. since j1.6 we have adjust VM2 for every subversion and this takes a lot time. Should be done in the next subrelease.
Hello. I am wondering if vm2 for joomla 1.7 is gonna become stable in the next 3-4 weeks ? I am asking, because i want to build site on the newest version but i can't wait a lot of time. I am not pushing anyone, i just want to know.. because i read in some website that vm2 will be enough stable to be used with joomla 1.7 bu the end of the year. If this is true i will absolutely use joomla 1.5 and vm 1.1x, because i can't wait log..
Regards

Where did you read that? Atm we are fighting only with the ACL of j1.7. So I think at august. In your case I would give vm2 and j1.5 a try.
Milbo, thank you very much for the information - i will probably wait for 1/7. If my store go well i will donate some cash to support this project. Have a nice day ;)
Hi!
Is VM2 now safe to run with Joomla 1.7 for 'proper' site (ie not just for testing)?
Thanks :-)
Depends ;) - if you can get along with the basic shop functions, I would say yes. A few of the goodies built into VM2 still need some finetuning.
And at present the choice of payment plugins still is very limited. If you are new to VirtueMart 2, setting up the shop might take some learning time, because there is no user manual available at this time.
At the moment I would recommend to wait a few days for the RC1.9.8.H release, which fixes many small problems again.
Thanks jjk!
Are all the appropriate security measures stable? And does it accept Paypal?
:-)
Also, does 'a couple of days' really mean a couple of days or does it mean a couple of months? ;)
a couple of days means a couple of days.
Security,. hmm big issue. We did what we can do to make it safe. But we need some hackers who actually attack vm2 to see how safe it is.
If i want to use VM as Catalogue only, would this version be ok to use in an production site?
YES
Ok, thanks for your replies!
So when you say hackers to test security in VM2, are you referring to the version coming up in a couple of days?
And does it accept paypal?
:-)
And where can I read about the new release / how will I know when it's available?
Thanks :)

Which download link says it is only for j1.5?
Says it pertaining to v1.1.9 right here:
http://virtuemart.net/downloads
Which version do I use for Joomla 1.7???
Thanks!
Hi,
For Joomla 1.7 , you should use the version

? being the latest from the list from that page:

Although this thread is somehow old, and I'm pretty sure this is the million dollar question that keeps repeating over and over everywhere, but really, is it Virtuemart latest released/stable version compatible with Joomla 1.7?
If so, why does the download link say that it is only for 1.5x? (like the post quoted above)
Where is that link?
Here: http://virtuemart.net/downloads
"VirtueMart 1.1.9 is the latest stable version available. It is compatible with Joomla! 1.5.x only!"
I'm a developer and my company is ready to start working on this big humongous project where Virtuemart will fit perfectly for both the company and the client.
If I understand all of this correctly, VirtueMart 1.1.9 is compatible only with Joomla 1.5, BUT, VM2 is compatible with Joomla 1.7, am I right?
Could someone please give me a definitive answer?
Thanks in advance.
Nelson.
Hi,
@NeslonB. The Url to find the latest Version is: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files
It is Version M at the moment. And yes it is running on Joomla 1.7. x But i can't tell if it is perfect stable. It's a RC. I made a sub-Joomla to test it.
Now i have my own question:
Beacause i don't want to wait to start filling the shop and change the default Layout's of it, i don't no if i can install the RC on a livesite without the risk of a security-issue and the problem of the Upgrade. When i upgrade the VM2 to the final release (hopefully soon) (and thanks for the work at this point) will it overried the allready made changes?
Thanks for the respond
Tobi

Template overwritting should be in the template folder.
If u do it that way, then an update will not overwrite your work.
Please read this:

Hi,
Thanks for the quick respond.
I do the temp. overwrites most of the time like that. It's as you said "safer". But i never worked with VirtueMart before. However, Thanks for the links.
The Component still has some bugs. For example the Upgrade via akeeba live update. Or the config. of creditc. So i'm not sure if i should install the componet on the livesite for the build up. What would you recomend?
Regards
Tobi
There are people already here using it on a live site, but it depends on the purpose (for exampel as catalogue is working already). You should also gain some experience with the RC first.
Hi,
QuoteOr the config. of creditc.
The configuration of the Credit Cards will be done by the payment plugin itself.

Thanks Tobi. I'll check that out.
So when can we expect VM2 to be out of RC and good enough to be run on live site for store / shopping purposes?
I need it for a Joomla 1.7 site that is currently under development.
Thank you so much :-)
Edit: Worth mentioning, the site's built with a main focus on Jomsocial functionality. Will this first stable version be compatible with JS for reviews etc?
We work together with community builder. There will be a plugin later for joomsocial also, we will see, who is going todo it.
I've followed this thread regarding use of Virtuemart and Joomla 1.7. Where does one download VM2? The download page only lists a link for vm 1.x which is not compatible with Joomla 1.7
Is there a hack people are employing by un-zipping the distribution and putting it in Joomla's extension directory manually?

in my signature
virtuemart1.9.8.RC2M_extract_first.zip
Thanks!
Sorry if I'm repetitive, but I still feel like I need a more concrete answer to the questions:
a. can I use VM2 live for shopping cart, or is it too unstable still?
b. If no, when can VM2 be expected to be stable enough for this purpose?
Thanks again :)
Install it and start setting up the store, layout etc. By the time you have worked out how things are set up and styled the full release chould be available.
will that new release include all the standard shipping and payment modules
pp, ppp, auth.net, etc and UPS, USPS, Fedex at least these three, its currently useless without payment and shipping modules
