This is the site i've recently taken over, i didnt create it but i'm in charge of it now and i've made a few small changes.

Site is using WM 1.1.2 and joomla 1.5

I've also been asked to increase the traffic to the web site, no easy task :P

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

I added a few new categories and products, and ive added the addthis link to each product.

i fixed the email a freind button as the links it posted were broken, i'm assuming its because of sh404SEF. Also disabled the PDF button as it doesnt show pictures.


I'm a bit worried about updating to 1.1.4 so i'll hold off a bit longer.

VM 1.1.2 is liable to hack attacks, so an update to 1.1.3 at the least is recommended.

The site is just acting as a catalogue, no live store involved. so can always be restored.

i have a feeling lots of image links will be broken if i upgrade

OK, but pre 1.1.3 sites have already been compromised and used in phishing scams.

I didn't integrate flash as i didnt create the site, but i've made a large number of changes on the backend, but i mainly just add products, and make sure it runs smoothly, which it does anyway because its joomla/virtuemart :)

I ended up upgrading to VM 1.1.4 from 1.1.2 and it went very smoothly, i downloaded the upgrade patch and installed it through the vm admin cpanel.

I still cant get PDF pages to work properly, and i've had about 5 different attempts at it. I just ended up disabling PDF.
