Hi guys,
I am currently in the process of building a template for joomla and virtumart and running into some issues.
Could someone tell me what elements / scripts that i need to load in my template in order to make the shop work?
Kind regards,
Meton
(I think jquery is one of the must haves am i right?)

But basically you need the scripts that are enabled in Configuration/Templates/Activate Css Styles & Javascripts

I thought it was a very general question. I was expecting an answer like below. This post would be good if it had less red/bold or !! signs in it. It feels as if someone is calling you stupit for not posting the full information.

How are you intending to build your template
Manually or using a third party product?

Sorry Meton, but to ask you for what version you are referring to is totally legitimate ... the re are two current VM major versions available and and 3 different combinations possible with Joomla/VM
How would we know what u plan to use? If you have been browsing the forum you will see a large % of all posts - the 2nd post is us asking what version.. In the stickies we ask you to provide this...
The red/bold is in Jenkinhill's signature because he is so tired of asking the same question 1000's of time

Hello GJC web design,
The question he is asking is totaly legit i won't dispute that. I was refering how that post is set up, you can see and read the frustration in that post. To be honest that works a bit counterproductive. If i could make a suggestion create a easy to use template that posters can use. Example

Description of the issue:I am creating my own template from scracts and found out that some of the functions do not work. In this example i was runnning into an issue adding items in my cart. It jumped to the cart but it stayed empty. I think i need to load Jquery in my main template and that will solve the cart issue but what elements need to be loaded (minimal) to make virtuemart work?
I am trying to make sure i won't miss anything.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Why you don't check the template protostar ?
Virtuemart is mainly tested with this template.
If you made a template from scratch you loose time for nothing.
You can copy the template(copy all files or from Joomla back-end copy template) and customize it.
For the Virtemart part, simply copy the javascript or CSS files you need to override in your js or css sub folder.

Hi Patrick,
Thx for your reply. 2 reasons,
I want to learn the basics and understand why specific parts are loaded.
In the original template they use bootstrap and other functions like loading variables that i aint familiar with.
By asking for the basics gives me the opportunaty to start and learn by making it more complex step by step.
Kind regards,
Meton
(btw i got my template working, something very silly happend in my Joomla template.... :-S i deleted the jdoc "<jdoc:include type="head" />") Oepsie. All works fine now but i am still interested in the details!
