Virtuemart with helix 3 template different layout

[sjek13]

Hi,

I have a joomla website with the helix 3 template, now i installed virtuemart but the checkout card and the address change form are different from my joomla pages.

example:
picture 1 is the layout from the joomla user edit page
picture 2 is the layout from the virtuemart address edit page

is there a way to make the layout from the virtuemart the same as from joomla?
(i selected the same templates)

Yes, use template & css overrides.  http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/templating-layouts.html

If this is a store you only need to use the VM form.

thanks for the reply

I will check this out

what do you mean with this?

in a VM store you don't want to use any of the Joomla user management.. so no J login or account registration etc.. hide it all .. just use the VM stuff

Ok, but i am building a site with a webshop and where people can post articles too (blog)

[GJC Web Design]

well.. in this case (you let a simple registered visitor blog?)  then I would still just allow VM registration etc
They are then still regged in Joomla as normal and user groups etc can be assigned..

The problem is allowing joomla reg only gives u a user and pass.. then they go shopping and get confused as to why they are asked to more or less "do it again" (they aren't but are asked for address details etc)

Up to you

Yes i want people to be able to post ideas of the products i sell.

But i understand what you mean, i will try out what suits best for me.

I still need to edit the layout of VM because it's a little bit crappy as it looks now.

But thanks for the advice!

BTW .. it will only need some css changes to make the VM reg look like the joomla one

Ok thats nice, can you tell me what changes?

[GJC Web Design]

free work?  just what I need.. 

[sjek13]

Well i am not that familiar with css mods, i can sort it out but that would take a lot of time.

If you can fix it i am willing to pay for it, how much would that cost?
