Hello,
when clicking on "add to cart" in a product details page I am redirected to the checkout page and don't get any popup modal window as expected.
I read quite a lot about the numerous problems people have with the "add to cart" button.
still it doesn't work on my website.
I tried to disable all the modules, I don't have scripts on my page neither i load a jquery script on my page.
i tried enabling and disabling : configuration/shop/Use external google jquery library
i tried enabling and disabling : configuration/templates/Using the Virtuemart jQuery
When both are enabled I do have two calls to different jquery script. But apprently they both come from virtuemart.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Here is my page :
http://www.francois-rosenbaum.com/staging/test_virtuemart/pantalons/pantalon-3-detail
Does anyone know what is happening and what I can do ?
I use virtuemart 2.02 and joomla 2.5
thanks everyone for helping
worked for me in firefox, and IE
It does work on my computer with "internet explorer8" and chrome but not with firefox 3.6.24.
when showing I don't have any styles on the modal pop up
boucdur,
I am using firefox 11.
Ok but unfortunatly 7% of the people use firefox 3.6 if I believe google analytics on my personnal website.
It should work, shouldn't it ?
Yes, but there is no way to test it
hello again,
Sure it's difficult to test the problem whithout firefox 3.6
However I see when I look at the code that there are two calls to jquery.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
It seems that those two calls are made by virtuemart.
Is that normal ?
As I read in the different posts that's not good to have more than one call to jquery maybe it wiould maybe solve the problem to get only one call to jquery ?
Do you think i can achieve this in one way or an other ?
The first script call is to the jQuery main library. The second to jqueryui is the jQuery user interface library - you need both.
try without the skitter slideshow module enabled
even when I disable absolutly all the modules (in the module manager) it still doesn't work in firefox 3.6
and when I look at the source code I still have this :
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
but this is not the problem anyway as jenkinhill told me.
have you tried using the vmart jquery, and turning off external jquery?
Yes. but it doesn't work better
I just tried to install a all new joomla 2.5 with the example datas then I installed a all new virtuemart 2.02 with the example datas as well.
I uninstalled the component which is usds to install the plugins as it's explained during the installation process
i did nothing more
I tested to click the "add to cart" button on firefox 3.6 and I still don't have the modal pop telling me the product is added to my cart.
Just like on my previous test page when i refresh the page the product is in my cart.
I tried to click very quicly ten times on the "add to cart" button nothing happenned and then when I refreshed the page 4 new products were added in the cart.
I even tried a second time on a other computer with firefox 3.6 as well and it is just the same.
it seems to me it's a problem in "virtuemart 2" that everybody have as well probably ?
boucdur, I noticed on your site you have some custom styling in the cart module.
Have you tried without it?
I just Googled firefox 3.6 bugs - a whole lot of issues..... No way would I use an old browser like that.
Thank you for your answers,
I tried with a completly new website joomla 2.5 website and viruemart 2.02 wirth all the sample data with the default joomla template on.
The modal pop up doesn't work on firefox 3.6

I tried anyway to remove the stylesheet on my other test website with my own custom template.
Same thing, the modal pop up doesn't work on firefox 3.6

I agree with you jenkinhill, firefox is an old browser and everyone should upgrade it.
I use it myself only for a testing purpose.
Unfortunatly the statistics show that more than 5% of the users use this one.
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_firefox.asp
So if I make a website for an important client I reckon I shouldn't ignore them.
Furthermore I tried to test in internet explorer 7 as well using the software ietester
It's true this browser is almost dead but not completly
3.3% of users use still this one in France
and still 0.85% still use internet explorer (I don't work anymore for them)
So alltogether if virtuemart 2 proves to have a problem on this "add to cart" function that means 8% of people can't buy anything on an ecommerce website virtuemart 2.
Then maybe it's not ready for production websites targeting everybody.
Or would that work better with an other hostong compagny ?
ok let's say I don't care about those 8 % of people who will soon disapear.
Still it would be better without that issue.
