No, you shouldn't :) It must be a VM bug, I just confirmed
#42
Yes of course. But this makes  no sense. Why should I all of a sudden create my own VM asset folder in the root directory after 16 years using VM?
#43
Same here.

On 4.6.8 the image path is img src="/assets/images/vmgeneral/noimage.gif", while on 4.6.6 it was "/components/com_virtuemart/assets/images/vmgeneral/noimage.gif".
#44
The settings in the VM configuration "Use jQuery chosen for dropdowns in FE" take no effect. The dropdowns always use Choices js even when the settings are "None".
I am aware that this VM version is not made for Joomla 6, I tried it just to see what happens. Most of the functions work fine.
Version 4.9.3 can't be installed. I always get an internal server error. That's why I tried versionb 4.6.8.
#45
The link to noimage.gif is broken because the link to the assets folder is wrong. In BE in the VM configuration I get the following message:

vmError: File not found /www.mydomaine.com/assets/images/vmgeneral/noimage.gif

The path to the component (com_virtuemart/) is missing.

J 5.4.5
VM 4.6.8.11258

after VM update to 4.6.8.11258

The problem only occurs with the category sorting and generation
Probably syntax error with PHP 8.4, waiting for advice on how to proceed, I'm a beginner on PHP8 code thanks to anyone who answers

General Questions / New Manager for VirtueMart iPh...
Last post by digisys - April 18, 2026, 09:26:14 AM
Hi guys.
I want to share with you our brand new useful tool for iphone / ipad owners.

We created Manager for VirtueMart native ios app. Its a powerful mobile solution that allows administrators to manage their Virtuemart stores directly from their iPhone. Designed for speed, clarity, and control, the app gives you instant access to essential website management tools without needing a desktop or constant log-ins to your VirtueMart stores.

  • View and manage orders & statuses
  • Edit products & inventory
  • Real-time push notifications for new orders
  • Sales reports & statistics
  • Customer management
  • Multi-shop support — manage all your shops



See how it works


Now you can manage all your VirtueMart stores from anywhere — and get notified the moment an order comes in.

Want to try it free? I'm giving a few promo codes to the first users willing to share feedback and report any bugs. If you are interested write me a DM.
