Title: Create a Shopper Group
Post by: dave collerton on November 14, 2015, 19:26:46 PM
Hi Guys

Latest Vitrumart loaded running on JA Techzone template (created using quickstart today 14/11/2016).

So, thanks to a post on the forum I eventually managed to setup the Safe Directory but I'm having a really difficult time trying to figure out how to set up a SHOPPER GROUP. I've read the documentation, hunted around in Virtumart and nowhere can I find where to do this. The documentation doesn't seem to match what I have on the site. I kinda get the impression it's easy to do but for me, not so. Be grateful if anyone out there can help. It seems it's the last of the jobs I have to do to configure the system.

Grateful fro your time

Regards
David

So you are using Joomla 3.4.5 with VirtueMart 3.0.12?   Quickstarts can cause all sorts of problems, just be aware.

Ah..got it! 2016. True :)

It was an issue of the quickstart package. I downloaded and installed the latest version of VM over the top and the "missing" configuration panel with all of the sub-menus then appeared on the LHS of the page. Now it makes some sense. None of the documentation I read showed this panel so I never expected it to be there!! The clue was actually a YouTube video of an older setup which made me think I was missing something.

Thank you
David

I can never understand the theory of a quickstart... why fill your install with who knows what when in 10mins you can install a clean joomla, VM and a template and actually know what you have?
