Hello all,
I'm using Joomla 2.5.4 with Virtuemart 2.0.2.
I have read these instructions to update VM from 2.0.2 to 2.0.6 http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Easy_VirtueMart_2_Install_Instructions , but it does not work.
When I unzip com_virtuemart.2.0.6_extract_first.zip file, I get these 2 files:
com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar.gz
com_virtuemart.2.0.6_ext_aio.tar
Then if I try to install them through Joomla extensions manager, as explained in the procedure, it does not work I get a white screen.
The problem is: I don't have the file called com_virtuemart.2.x.zip but I have it with the extension .tar.gz ... maybe this is the problem?
I have tried to unzip the file com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar.gz and then to unzip too the file called com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar to install files from a directory.
It works but I get some bugs on Joomla, look images below or in attachments to this post:

Do you have any idea how to solve it?
Many thanks

was going to post the exact same thing...i think i also folled up some tables.....
no one knows?
Same for me too.
I have found the solution for the error message displayed in the attached file called error2.jpg
Go to Components -> VirtueMart -> Configuration -> Configuration -> then Templates tab -> on the Media Files Settings area fill in the Safe Path field
The path must be absolute and outside the joomla site directory.
Example for me:
My site is located in: C:\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\www\my_site
Safe Path will be: C:\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\www\vmfiles
Be careful, the folder vmfiles must be created before saving the configuration.
But the previous bug, see error1.jpg still exist.
I have found another bug linked to the ADD TO CART button.
Previously, I had a message PRODUCT ADDED in a popup, but now, when I click on the ADD TO CART button, I am redirected directly to the cart with a simple message on the top of the screen...popup effect has disapeared.
Any idea?
Thanks
Laurent
Thanks ;)
I just found the solution myself about the safe path and I would share the solution. ;D
No problem ;)
Lol, I do not understand why a message saying todo something is a bug.
When you car says, "Hey,.. I am out of GAS" do you would consider that as bug? Never, but in vm2 you do. Create a safepath is NOT a bug, it is a message telling you that your setup is not finished yet, quite easy, or? There exists already at least 10 posts about both problems.
The other problem was solved by everyone just pressing F5, you get the doubled tabs when you update. It has something todo with old session data.
I agree and was my fault, the message was not a bug....writing error.
You're right for the double tab, after cleaning cache, temp files etc..it works.
But about ADD TO CART button, there is a solution?
When you click on our live updater (/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=liveupdate).
Then you see an iframe of this page http://virtuemart.net/news/list-all-news/416. There is at begin "In the VirtueMart configuration, in the checkout tab, check the box "Display modal popup upon 'Add to cart'", if you want your website to behave as before." additionally to that, often already answered in the forum.
Ey, I am nasty :-) dont take it too seriously
No problem ;)
OK thanks, I have found this option that's fine.
But, sorry ;), if I enable modal popup, ADD TO CART button does not work...I have to refresh the page to see products in the cart.
But if I disable modal popup, the ADD TO CART button works as I said previously, I'm redirected to the cart with all the details.
A last idea? :)
Many thanks again.
This is then a js problem, you may try the new version 2.0.7c, I am uploading it next hours.
Ok I will test it as soon it's available.
but I suppose this release will be a test version and not a stable version?
A last remark, now, if modal popup is disabled and then if I click on ADD TO CART button, the message PRODUCT ADDED is displayed twice in the cart...
Hello,
I have downloaded the latest version 2.0.7c and 3 issues:
- the ADD TO CART button problem still exist : if I click on it, nothing appears, I have to refresh the page to see products in the cart.
- the NOTIFY ME button does not work anymore (was working on 2.0.6 version): if a product is not in stock and if I click on this button, instead of having the field to type my email address, I am redirected on a page with some products.
- the version number is not correct in backend: it's written 2.0.7b instead of 2.0.7c
Thanks
Laurent
I'm sorry again but a last question, do you know when the next stable version will be available (approximatively) ?
Add to cart & Notify work fine for me with VM2.0.7c on J2.5.4 - I suggest you look for JavaScript conflicts in your setup, maybe with your Joomla template, as these issues you are having is not related to 2.0.7 being development versions.
I don't think this problem is coming from a JS conflict in the template, because NOTIFY works fine with VM 2.0.4 and VM 2.0.6, and ADD TO CART with modal popup is also working but on VM 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 (ADD TO CART does not work since VM 2.0.6)
My template has not been changed (no JS added)...so if it was working previously and now if it does not work with VM 2.0.7, I'm very doubtful :-\

I used FTP upload the zipped file to the public_hotmail/tmp directory. and extension installer "install from directory" section, it's as: /home/eynekbiz/public_html/tmp/com_virtuemart.2.0.zip
But it's failed: Please enter a package directory. (already enter the directory above, but stil same message appear) what is the problem?
You create a folder on your PC then you unzip the package into this folder.
Go to your Joomla backend then EXTENSIONS -> EXTENSIONS MANAGER -> Install from Directory
Choose the folder created previously and click on INSTALL button.
Somebody knows when the next stable version will be available (approximatively) ?
created new folder to zip or not?

This is the same for me. For now, I've turned off "Display modal popup upon 'Add to cart' ", am not using "NOTIFY ME". Nothing I can do about the version number not updating, but have notified the client to ignore it until we can update again.
@ DG -> Yes I have disabled the modal effect too.
@uyghurmen -> You create a new folder on MY DOCUMENTS for example, and into this folder you unzip the file .tar.gz and then the .tar file. After that, you go to Joomla admin backend and you install from a folder
Modal effect works now with cart button, there was a conflict with JQuery script (called twice). I have deleted one on my template.
But even if it works now, with VM 2.0.6, that's strange because with VM 2.0.2, it was working by default.
@toonetcreation
I'm having the same issue with the Modal effect not working with the cart button. I'm running Virtuemart 2.0.6 with Joomla 2.5 and my site is build upon a template called "Eplore".
Can you tell me exactly what you did to make it work or point me in the direction of how to remove the JQuery conflict?
Brgds
I have removed this line in the file called includes.php located in C:\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\www\metamorphose\templates\theme854\includes
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $path ?>/scripts/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
this line could be located also in index.php file (on your template folder)
I finally made it work, thx.
I had to say goodbye to my Autson Slideshow, though, and after applying EasyjQuery the problem was gone.
Now I have a few other "problems/issues" related to the 'Add to cart' popup..
1st thing: If I click the "X" / "close" button in the popup window I want the current page to refresh, like F5, after closing the popup. As it is now it just closes the popup-window and the product info in the cart is not fully refreshed..
2nd thing: If I click "continue shopping" I don't want it to take me to the category browse view.. I want it to simply close down the popup and refresh the current page, just like with the "X"/"close" button..
3rd thing: In the cart view, when I click "continue shopping", I want it to go to the previous page, not the category page..
Regarding the 3rd problem I've found a thread on the Joomla forum which is related to changing the "continue shopping" link on the cart page. Unfortunately it seems to only apply to Virtuemart v.1.XXX and not v.2.xxx. Here is the thread:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=249374
According to this thread the following file needs to be altered: "shop.cart.php" (I cannot locate this file anywhere)
I did find a "$continue_link =" reference in the "view.html.php" file located in /components/com_virtuemart/views/cart - folder, around line 166, but when I try to change the code as mentioned in the thread I get a fatal error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function url() on a non-object in "
I hope someone can help me in the right direction of achieving all of my issues listed here.
Brgds
Solved with VM 2.0.8e update.
How did you solve the double tab situation with the "undefined" tabs?
refresh the page ;-)

Has anyone found a way to do this? My site is suffering from the same problem. I would like the user to stay on that product page and not get redirected to the category page.
I am using 2.0.10 and J2.5.7
