Title: You cannot change the order of items, as an item in the list is 'Checked Out'
Post by: tech on February 05, 2012, 21:07:00 PM

I am inside Configuration > Shopper Fields > Shopper Fields List

Trying to Reorder the Fields and get the following message when I click to save the new field order:

You cannot change the order of items, as an item in the list is 'Checked Out'

I tried using the Joomla Global Checkin to no effect.

Here is a screenshot of the error: http://s15.postimage.org/ctehanyor/field_ordering_error.jpg

Note: using VM 2.0

Hi,

I have the exact same problem. I've been using version 2.0.0 on J1.7 and had this problem. Updated to 2.0.2 and the problem still exists.
Please advise what to do, because it is very annoying having the fields in the default order. Currently I have the "I agree to the Terms of Service" field before my custom fields and that is really weird for the users.

Cheers

Same issue for me also, would love to be able to move the order of shopper fields.

What I can see is that for some reason the following fields are always checked out, which probably is what J2.5 complains about. But these fields don't appear on the checked out list where they could be checked in again.

User field from Joomla core username
User field from Joomla core name
User field from Joomla core agreed
User field from Joomla core password2
User field from Joomla core password
User field from Joomla core email

However, as a temporary workaround you can still change the sort order manually in the database table _virtuemart_userfields

I'm very new to VirtueMart and Joomla. I'm having this same problem. Can you please help me find:

database table _virtuemart_userfields

Thank you for all the help -- this forum has been very helpful to me so far.

In your website control panel there should be a way to access your database using something like phpMyAdmin. Once you're there, you will find a table named: jos_virtuemart_userfields (your prefix may be different). Then you can edit the values for ordering.

When you edit the field, at the bottom of the page you can change it and it works.

Please refer to my post regarding this issue. I may have enough information for you to figure out why reordering shopper fields works some of the time and not some of the time. I believe it has to do with the locked fields related to Joomla's user system. Here is my detailed post: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=106134.msg359883#msg359883

Until the bug is fixed, I have a workaround that will work for most circumstances. When you read it, you'll realize that it probably won't work for reordering some fields that are outside the scope of my workaround.

I m dealing with the same issue too.
Is this a beta version (2.0.14) or a live one because I m getting way too many "bugs" while trying to set it up.
