thank you.
I'm trying to find the check box.... because i translate many parts into german..

Sometimes VM doesn't save my changes. For example if i want to change the rang/postitons of the userfields. Do you know also for this a solution?

Thank you

Please look in the language forum and work with jjk on the german version, this is much more effective.

thank you. I found the right button....
But now the user can only see slides, and no tabs... so not the complete joomla plugins work. Have someone else an simliar bug?

I am trying to do this also, are you talking about the, "Enable Joomla Plugin"?
I am trying to enable Virtumart2 to display a Phocagallery via their shortcode.  Right now, all that shows up is the shortcode and checking that box does not seem to do anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FYI I am also trying to do something similar.

I am trying to enable 'Core Design Accordion Plugin' http://www.greatjoomla.com/extensions/plugins/core-design-accordion-plugin.html

I want this to display in VM2 Category Descriptions.

Unfortunately just the plugin code shows and it does not activate the plugin.

I have enabled Joomla Plugins in the VM2 config.

FYI I have changed the MYSQL database table virtuemart_categories_en_gb > field type of category_description to MEDIUMTEXT - but i dont think this would make a difference.

Cheers (and nice work with VM2 btw!! :) )

The same problem..  I have enabled joomla plugin but all plugins which I implemented seem to be unavailable in product description.  Only what I see is {} in description.

This is the official fix, included in the next VM2 update, or right now from SVN. http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=95930.msg317663#msg317663

Can this same fix be applied to Category Descriptions too?

Can someone help me out with some code?

In vm1.1.x content plugins worked in Category descriptions, but in VM2 they don't.

VM2.0.8e J2.5.6 (also checked svn... same as 2.0.8e)
