I want users to be able to see their previous orders when they login. I copied these instructions from an earlier post
"Create a menu item with the Virtuemart List Orders menu type. Put it in the User Menu (the menu that becomes active when a registered user logs in). Any registered user will be able to view their orders in this fashion.
Joomla/Menus/User Menu/New
Click the "Select" button next to the "Menu Item Type" field
Select "List Orders" from the Virtuemart list of menu types
Give the item a Menu Title of "Order History"
Fill in the other details
Don't forget to Save
When a user logs in, the User Menu becomes active. They will see a menu selection named Order History. Selecting it will provide a list of their orders. They can see the order details by clicking on the order number."
However, I have obviously missed something, as when I login, there is no option to show previous orders - just the option to logout.
What I would really like is to have a Main Menu item, taking the user to a page which shows their previous orders, if they are logged in. Is this possible?
Also, as these are elearning courses I am selling, I would like to add a button next to each order on the list with the url to the login screen for that course - Is that possible?
I am a joomla beginner, but we have managed to do everything we need so far.
We are using Joomla Joomla! 3.4.3, Virtumart 3.0.8
Before doing anything else, your Joomla & VM versions are out of date and seriously insecure. http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0
I don't know where you go those "instructions" from, but all you have to do is make a main menu link of type VirtueMart Account Maintenance. Set it to Access = Registered if you want it to be hidden to users who are not logged in. The menu link gives access to Account details and Orders.
