VirtueMart Forum

I'm happy to announce that VirtueMart Matters is now available (https://www.virtuemartmatters.com (https://www.virtuemartmatters.com)).
VirtueMart Matters is an independent initiative meant to provide documents and support for VirtueMart.
You can surf the site both in Italian and in English. You can find the Starting Guide (free for registered users) and the Reference Guide, for the full mastery of VirtueMart administrative panel. Single-topic tutorials will soon be available.

Hi Claudio,
I just had a short look at your website and noticed that the English language download currently shows an Italian language table of content.

Thanks, jjk.
I fixed the problem. Now the tab shows the TOC of the Starting Guide in English.
When you are in Milan, call me: I owe you one beer.  ;)

Nice. Good luck with your endeavour

Same here.

I apologize for being late: I hadn't noticed your posts.
You were right: the product pointed to the Italian file.
Now I've fixed this issue.
Please, biltong and GJC Web Design: check the Starting Guide and tell me if everything is now working. Give me you private email address: I will send you a complimentary copy of the Reference Guide.

Hi Claudio,

afraid i get a   :'(

The www.virtuemartmatters.com page isn't working

www.virtuemartmatters.com redirected you too many times.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

on https://www.virtuemartmatters.com/en/literature-our-manuals-about-virtuemart-3/virtuemart-matters-the-starting-guide-for-free.html

Mmmm...
Maybe I really need an exorcist.
But THIS problem was temporary: I just checked my site and it appears to be OK.
Can you retry, please?

The home page now resolves, but on selecting the starting guide is ready image I get  --- The page isn't redirecting properly

Can it be a problem related to the cache of your browser?
It works fine on my system.
This is the link: https://www.virtuemartmatters.com/en/literature-our-manuals-about-virtuemart-3/virtuemart-matters-the-starting-guide-for-free/in-english.html (https://www.virtuemartmatters.com/en/literature-our-manuals-about-virtuemart-3/virtuemart-matters-the-starting-guide-for-free/in-english.html)

afraid not

if I use the menu link at the top -> The Starting GuideTo get you started --- For Free!!! 

https://www.virtuemartmatters.com/en/literature-our-manuals-about-virtuemart-3/virtuemart-matters-the-starting-guide-for-free.html

I get

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

this is different from the link you give here:

https://www.virtuemartmatters.com/en/literature-our-manuals-about-virtuemart-3/virtuemart-matters-the-starting-guide-for-free/in-english.html

which works

is one redirecting to the other?

ah -- there is a flyout -> "in english" from that root

you need to remove the link of the parent as this is what most will click

but next prob... add to cart -> popup -> go to cart  -> is empty

appears to be only in Chrome..  FF OK

but repeatable

note also -- when choosing in checkout I live in EU with Vat

choose Germany

enter my Vat for germany and I get

EU validation service is currently not available for your country. Please try again later.

So, I fixed the link in the banner, that was incorrect.
Now the link in the banner is the same in the Literature -> The Starting Guide -> In English menu and works well.

Now I'm going to investigate the problem with Chrome...

I tested my site with Chrome on Ubuntu Linux.
It worked perfectly: the book was in the cart and I can log in.

Did not you accept the cookies?
In this case, you have to accept them. Go to the footer menu, click Cookie Management, scroll down the page (only in Italian, sorry...) to the bottom and the click Reconsider Cookies. Refresh (or go to the home page) and then you can accept the cookies in the banner at the top of the page.
Now you should be able to finalize your purchase.

Let me know...

An update. On my mobile phone (Android), Chrome has malfunctioned, just as you had reported. So I cleaned the browser cache and cancelled all stored data: then the site worked fine.

afraid still problems in Chrome..  cache cleared and restarted - cookies accepted

see screenshots .. totally repeatable .. on add to cart the popup shows added.. the cart module though is empty as is the cart when I go to it

no probs in IE, FF

It's a cookies matter.

• Go to the site
• Scroll down the page
• Click Cookie Management
• Scroll down the page
• Click Remove Cookies and confirm
• Scroll down the page
• Click Reconsider Cookies
• In the new banner at the top of the page, click I Agree

Now you can successfully log in. You will see a short welcome message ("Hi, username. Welcome!")
Let me know.

yep.. this worked .. products are now added to cart
