Post by: andrai2 on September 26, 2017, 16:00:16 PM
Hello!

I wanna  by a template for my client

https://www.templatemonster.com/demo/53547.html
https://www.templatemonster.com/virtuemart-templates/53547.html#tab-details

Joomla! Compatibility:   3.2.0-3.7.x, 3.0.x-3.5.x
Joomla! Engine:   3.4.x
VirtueMart Compatibility:   3.0.x

They said that i can upadte joomla 3.7 easly but i must stay to vm 3, and not update to vm 3.2 (a lot of custom coding)

The say that template is secure...?

Wanted to ask can i live with vm3 not updating to vm 3.2 ..? Is my template secuer..?

p.s. had my hard  lesson not updating

Thanks!

I certainly would not even consider that template. It is far too old. Why not use a template from a reliable source who provides a continual update service? eg we use https://www.olympianthemes.com/  or  https://www.virtueplanet.com/

For security reasons you must use at least Joomla 3.8 and for J3.7+ you need at least VirtueMart 3.2.2 -  http://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/480-security-release-of-joomla-3-7-be-prepared
