I am new to Virtuemart so if this is a stupid question i apologise in advance!!!
Can i use a joomla template for the overall look of a site, but a different theme for the virtuemart pages?
I am using J2.5 and VM2.0.
I have changed the template view settings on VM pages but i get this error;
The choosen template couldnt found on the filesystem:.......
Is this because i can only use themes from the default template chosen in the joomla template manager?
No you should be able to play with a variety of templates across
the Joomla and virtuemart modules.
* Upload a simple free template first and then another swap and paly with them - you can have one for admin too.
That's what i thought, but when i try and use a different template i get the following error;
The choosen template couldnt found on the filesystem: CarbonLab
The template is definitely installed and works fine as long as i use it for the entire site, but not just for VM pages.
I have seen others say that some templates throw out their VM.
So when they chenged it from default they could not get into their shop or see the front page.
* There 4 or 5 default templates - that you can change with out uploading anew one.
Also are you using 2.0.1 (k) ? virtuemart
I just updated from 1.7.5 to 2.5.1 and VM 2.0.1 (k) and have now issue with templates and changing them.

Yes, i'm on K and i have a whole host of issues but i'm working through them one at a time.
Virtuemart is very good, but it really does put you on a learning curve for modifying php and core files.
