Title: UPDATE AND CUSTOM FIELDS
Post by: orthotes on August 21, 2014, 11:49:21 AM
Dear friends,

I have two issues with VirtueMart (2.6.8).

First: in Joomla main panel appears the "available update" icon that asks me to update VirtuMart. Well, I do it, but the day after the icon shows me a further updating request (see the image). The version to which I should update VM is the same version running on the site.

Second: for each product I sell I use the "custom fields". The lines of these fields were every listed in a vertical order but now they have been moved horizontally (see the image).

Any idea about?

Many thanks!

All my 2.6.8 don't have this behaviour - caches cleared etc?

without a live url difficult to say - but surely you can just arrange them as you want by css?

Dear GJC, thank you for your help.

Regarding the first issue, actually I think there is something wrong with the cache. I'm using a function available on SiteGround provider (called SuperCache) and probably there is a kind of conflict. I will investigate more.
For the second issue, you can check by yourself (here: http://www.orthotes.com/store/index.php/dialectica/jacques-derrida,-resistenze.-sul-concetto-di-analisi-detail.html), where previously this line "anno 2014 pp. 116 curatore Michele Di Bartolo traduttore Anna Busetto & Michele Di Bartolo collana Dialectica ISBN 978-88-97806-61-5" was put in a vertical order, now it appears horizontally (and, moreover, the titles now are in bold, while before they were in a regular style followed by a colon). I can resolve the problem by css (I think), but I'm just a little bit annoyed to modify the template now and then, after I've already spent time to arrange it as wished.

.product-field.product-field-type-Y {
  display: block;
  float:none,
}

fixes it

if you have done changes in the http://www.orthotes.com/store/components/com_virtuemart/assets/css/vmsite-ltr.css of course these will be over written
move the css to your template

Thank you for the help.
Unfortunately the proposed solution doesn't work at all for me.
Any other suggestion?

In order to manage better the lines I'm going to substitute the "textarea" function with a simply "editor".
