Title: How to open cart in other window than index.php?
Post by: mrmysterious on July 06, 2016, 22:14:45 PM
Hello community,

As i am relatively new to the vm I don't know how to achieve the following - if possible:

The problem is that on checkout, when the cart is shown, it has not enough space in the window and displayed to small - cut off, as on the left my categorie module is active.
This pic is to illustrate the issue:

Browser address looks like that: http://www.geliefert.reviewinghiv.org/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart

Can't the cart open in a different site like: http://www.geliefert.reviewinghiv.org/cart.html

The second possibillity was to eliminate categorie module showing on that site, BUT there is no selection available in modules menu assignment:
The only 2 menues having to do with vm are (red marked) virtuemart (component itself) or vm account (account details).

I hope someone has the (maybe very simple?) solution... :-\

Cheers

make a menu to the cart then unpublish the left modules

or install an extended module manager

Thank you,

tried the 1st suggestion first. I've created a menu that links to: index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
then I excluded the categories module from that.
It don't work because when the costumer put an article in the cart the pop-up window appears with two options "further shopping" or "show cart",
clicking on "show cart" the adress leads to index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart, BUT actually the site loads only into index.php, which shows categories module, because it isn't
exluded on index.php.
Only when deleting items in the cart ("product quantity sucessfully actualised") the adress changes to: http://www.geliefert.reviewinghiv.org/index.php/warenkorb, and the categories module is gone.

What have I done wrong?

Update: it WILL work when I deactivate the modal pop-up window in shop configuration.
Now costumer will come to cart but has to go back if they want to do further shopping. That's a bit annoying.

Tried advanced module manager now. With that great tool I found a way to unpublish the module with the pop-up window still active.
Problem solved.

Thanks for your help!

cheers
