do this locally first. OR a private copy of the site in a folder etc.

I would take a clean install of the new vmart, and then move the virtuemart database over, thumbnails, files etc. then update/migrate etc.

I would use chatgpt and make this.

You need an admin component.
You need a table that stores users points, reedeemed etc.
You can get it to auto run on page load when you view the admin component. (to take into account new orders, and update the table) OR get chatgpt to write a cron for you to run daily etc.

You could do a standardized points per order value (make this a parameter value for the admin component, and then you could even run sales where you change the value points to more etc. ).
You could also go into the admin component, and add a value for certain customers etc.

So then, after you have values in the database.
You could display a form box on the user page showing the available points etc. Have the form ask "Would you like to claim your $200 coupon code today?"  Then when they click the button for yes, add the coupon to the database (with an expiry date etc)

Like i said I would do this with chatgpt, i am a coder, but would rather just design the mainframe, and deploy faster.

They add lots of blocked bots to the list.

Joomla ; 5.3.1,

DB; 10.6.20-MariaDB-cll-lve-log

PHP: 8.2.28

VirtueMart 4.4.4 11101



Hello

I would like to offer a few items, specifically iPhones and any type of display, battery or display & battery replacement. Displays in different qualities at different prices.

So I have created my own fields see printscreen and then assigned them to the only item I have entered (picture).



[Blocked graphic: https://compiservice.ch/artikel_benutzerdefinierte_felder.jpg]



[Blocked graphic: https://compiservice.ch/selbsterstelltes-feld.jpg]

As you can see, it always calculates with the first article of each group and adds everything together. I would like to be able to choose e.g. Display OEM LCD and nothing else and then only get the price displayed.

Can anyone help me with this? I have tried it with items that cost 0.- etc. as so it takes the first entry when I activate the switch automatically add empty option.



Thanks in advance and best regards

Beat

I had a similar problem, but in addition to that, the site was frequently crashing with an Error 500. After examining the logs, I discovered that an aggressive bot was operating on the site, and I had no other choice but to block it in the .htaccess file.

General Questions / Excessive bandwidth usage on V...

Last post by ThijsE6 - June 23, 2025, 19:26:34 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm running a Joomla website with VirtueMart, and I've noticed an unusually high bandwidth usage — around 102GB per month, which seems excessive considering the number of visitors is relatively low.

I'm trying to identify what's causing this. The site doesn't have large images or videos, and I've already optimized most assets. Still, the traffic seems to consume a lot of data.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with VirtueMart, such as:

High data transfer from product or category pages?

Repeated AJAX or background requests?

Issues with image caching or dynamic image generation?

Any ideas on where to look or how to reduce the bandwidth load would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Thijs

Looks good. I just added it as test. If you think I ignore your input, then just write to me on discord.

Hello guys, Jumbo is right, we should just remove it. What happened? Somehow I overwrote the phing variables with a plain value. So the modules are updated, but show a wrong number. That is fixed in the svn already.

Thanks for pointing this out, Petra. I actually noticed the same issue recently and was wondering if it was just on my setup. It's a small thing, but it can definitely cause some confusion when trying to sort subway surfers documents or automate processes. Hopefully, it gets addressed in a future update!
