hi all,
i have just installed the VM2 AIO into my web site which i am developing, i am running joomla 2.5.4 and VM 2.0.12, everything was fine, i was looking for VM payment and found it was in the AIO, but when i installed it, its radically alltered my site, the shopping cart no longer updates i have to refresh the page, and i have a home and a product link on the top menu bar, when i go to the product link and select catergory then click on a product it displays it on the home page not the product page, so it displays the product but with everything else on the home page, i.e slideshow, featured products, etc.
any help would be much appreciated.
has any body else experienced this problem or am i not setting VM up properly, please someone help i cant continue my project without a direction and i'm completely stumped at this problem,
Hello,
Try to download the tar.gz files and try it again from your joomla extension manager to install them manually. You can download the tar.gz files here: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files
or maybe you have a javascript conflict on your site, examine it with firebug: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102850.0
Also take a look over here: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/General_JS-Problems_with_templates_and_jQuery and here: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/JavascriptCSS_Template_Overrides_and_Avoiding_Conflicts_between_Libraries
btw, what's your PHP version?
Regards
hi thanks fior the reply,
ok i have tried all of the examples you gave me and nothing worked, i tried to install the tar.gz files and it kept saying could not find xml files, instead i installed i from the directory, by unzipping the file, i tried unchecking the virtuemart jquery library and caused more errors, checked it again and had no errors on page, i`m really stumped and its really frustrating, i am using php version 5.3.8.
Hi,
Please provide a live url to check it. Also you haven't done something right trying to install vm 2012 from tar.gz files.
Regards
hi,
its not live yet still using it on wamp server. please could you advise what i am doing wrong with installing it, i have folloed the instructions in the wiki, it just keeps saying cannot install cannot fing xml file
thanks
Hello,
You will download the following files:
http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/490/com_virtuemart.2.0.12_extract_first.targz.zip
You will extract it and inside you will find to new tar.gz files, one for the core, one for the AIO extensions.
After that under your joomla extensions manager browse and install first the com_virtuemart.2.0.12.tar and after install the com_virtuemart.2.0.12_ext_aio.tar
As you have mention above you are using joomla 2.5.x, am i right?
Post your results.

hi,
keep getting fatal error maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded, i have read that WAMP does not support tar files, do you know if this is true?
i`ve managed to resolve the fatal error and installed the tar files,
to recap the problem, i have two links on my top menu , home page and a product page, home page is linked to virtuemart frontpage and product page is linked to virtuemart catergory page. when i click on a catergory on the product page it takes me to locahost.../index.php/cat-1, not localhost/.../index.php/products/cat-1.
when i just install the VM2.tar.gz i dont have this problem however when i install the VM2.aio.tar.gz. i get this problem, but i need the payment system.
also i have noticed i have the VM links on the left i.e VM_catergory VM_products, VM_currency etc. when i click on the catergory under VM_catergory it does the same thing takes me back to the home page not to the product page.
so is there possibly a problem with the aio, in which case is there anywhere i can get the payment mods and plugins downloads,
or is the VM_links affecting it, in which case is there a way to set them up correctly.
by the way
i am using joomla 2.5.7 and virtuemart 2.0.12 and php 5.3.8
Hello,
I am not familiar with wamp, i am using xampp. The error you receive related to php cause the execution is bigger from the one the php configuration file have (or you need to increase it). So you could edit your php.ini file and change the following value
max_execution_time = 360
you could also increase the memory size by change the value
memory_limit = 128M
Regards
hi,
managed to resolve the fatal error, it was the max_time_limit , still have the previous fault tho.
Hello,
What exactly is your other issue? Is now the installation completed sucessful?

Sounds like you need to make a completely fresh install. Get com_virtuemart.2.0.12_extract_first.targz.zip from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files and unpack it locally to give the two components.
On a new install of Joomla 2.5.7 install first com_virtuemart.2.0.12.tar.gz when that is installed, before doing anything else, immediately install com_virtuemart.2.0.12_ext_aio.tar.gz - then start to configure the store, set up menus etc.
Do not select any form of SEF until the site is tested with products, menu links work etc.
hi,
i am now on my fourth fresh install and every time it is the same no extra plugins or modules and even on the joomla default template its always the same. i am completely stuck......
Hello,
I am suggesting place your category menu item virtuemart frontpage menu. If that breaks your concept you could create that category menu under virtuemart menu and a second top level menu point to the category menu under virtuemart, can you test it?
Do you have SEF enabled? Disable it and test again.
Regards
i have uploaded the site so you can see what im talking about,
www.en-chocolat.com
i`ve installed joomla and virtuemart only, its got the default template and i havent altered any of the settings, if you need access to the backk end let me know.
i really appreciate all the assistence you have given me........ thank you!!!
Hi,
Disable SEF for a moment on both joomla and vm.
PS: Please publish a menu item called or example Virtuemart to point to virtuemart front-end and then a menu item products under virtuemart menu.
Thanks
where do i find it in vm?
Do the follow,
on the backend under configuration -> templates and area Activate Css Styles & Javascripts ... enable them all
i think thats solved it, thank you very much, its amazing how ome option can cause so much issue....
it was a javascript issue after all :)
