Title: Using old version 1 flypages in version 2
Post by: Paul Cousens on November 09, 2012, 00:14:42 AM
Can someone tell me if my existing products templates ie. flypage_default.tpl.php & flypage_default_multi.tpl.php can be used in Virtuemart V2 as I have 3 customised pages that I used to allocate to each category for certain products pages that perform width & area calculations for the flooring industry?

may thanks

Paul

Old templates cannot be used, VFM2 uses a completely different and Joomla standard way to didplay output using view templates which can be over-ridden to alter output layout &style and, like in your case, to add additional coding. But in you case, you probably need dynamic price changing, which can already be managed by a plugin - http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/custom-size-detail

Thanks kelvyn

I did Install "Custom Size" plugin & will persevere with that to get some results. Difficult with so many variables for flooring product parameters!

thanks for the comfirmation regarding old flypage templates.

Paul
