Hi everybody,
I'm a beginner in using Joomla; I'm experimenting on a test-site before trying to set-up an official website for my company.
I've installed VM 2 because I need e-commerce feautures.
Since I've had several troubles with cart management trying using a self-made shop, I restarted from scratch using the example files provided with VM and adding my products to see the cart behaviour.
I left original shipment and payment methods provided by the demo shop.
I created a new product in a new category, with price 500 ( currency is €)
Then I tried the cart with the demo products and my product and everything went fine, except that I always have to choose the payment type even if only one is defined.
Then I added a second product, by cloning the first and changing name and price to 1000.
When I buy this one, after I selected and saved in page "choose your payment", the cart becomes empty.
If I change the price and set it below 1000 this issue disappears.
This trouble appears when I act as a registered customer; if I try as a not-registered guest the problem is similar, except that sometimes at the checkout I also have to select the shipment method and when I click to select I receive the message that there's not a shipment method defined for me.
I already tried the following after reading the forum:
1 using Jqueryeasy to solve potential library conflicts
2 deactivating any template using Jquery (I was trying Vertex by Shape5 and I switched to e-Beeze)
3 deactivating VM own libraries
4 I checked that Joomla cache is disabled
5 I set the browser to accept all cookies (FireFox or IE)
6 with fireBug I can't see any script issue, but I'm not a programmer so I can't assure this
7 I've checked that shipment/payment methods are valid for all countries/weight/ZIP (but they are the demo methods, anyway creating mine the issue remains)
The trouble always survived
My configuration is:
Apache server, provider: altervista
php 5.2.17
Joomla! 2.5.14
VirtueMart 2.0.24
I basically use FireFox 25.0
last note: I'm an italian user, so I use joomla in italian and I have translation for VM in italian, I don't know if this can be important
Thanks for any hint you may provide.
Greetings
Andrea
This is really strange, I cannot reproduce it.
Can you please try with 2.0.24a? Because we set another precision there.
