Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Hardcoded error message in ord...

Last post by cdbaron88 - October 11, 2024, 11:57:46 AM

Hi,

Joomla 5.1.4 + VirtueMart 4.2.18 11050 + PHP 8.1

I'm experiencing some issues with the new PayPal plugin, but I'll address that in another thread that's already open.


For now, I've noticed that customers are receiving an untranslated error message. Specifically, "Checkout blocked by Payment plugin."

After looking into it, I found the following code in the file components/com_virtuemart/helpers/cart.php:1960


if($this->_blockConfirmedCheckout){
    VmInfo('Checkout blocked by Payment plugin');
    return false;
}

It seems that this message is hardcoded instead of using something like vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_CHECKOUT_BLOCKED_BY_PAYMENT_PLUGIN'); or something similar.

Best regards.

Commercial Jobs / Looking help with virtuemart a...

Hi I used to make joomla sites with virtuemart but for 5+ years I have concentrated on other things.
I am trying now to make a website where I can sell products.
I have bought VM and a template I liked from templatemonster.
I have bought also some extra extensions for SEO, site security and backup.

I face the following problems and I believe it is due to the template I bought but I don't have to find a solution
1. Adding products to VM that are SEO optimised. For example I want the image and the description to have a specific name but it changes everytime
2. I am not sure paypal payment works well, I would like also to add visa payment.
3. Category layout and products displayed in the categories is not working properly
4. checkout process
5. I am trying to add a different invoice not the dummy one that Vm created
6. Add a watermark to images

Finally I would like to import the products in facebook. But I cannot. I tried with pixel but doesn't bring anything. But this is not so important now. I prefer to fix the problems above so I can start using my site 100%

PS. The new Joomla Menu is a disaster - it couldn't be worse and I think that a lot of people have the same impressions as me. Of course, there is also a group of crazy masochists who say it's great, even though after a year of using Joomla they are still looking for the same target item in this sick menu for a long time..

Maybe you know but...

For menu disaster are some lifehacks: open module 'Admin menu' and set option 'Choose preset' to 'Alternative Main Menu'. Now your left menu shows menu items like in older versions of Joomla.

And of course for top menu use Phoca Top Menu Module: https://www.phoca.cz/download/71-phoca-modules/123-phoca-top-menu-module Install package, open admin module 'Phoca Top Module', set position to customtop, choose preset and make it sticky - you are in heaven again

Such statistics and other bells and whistles can be ignored. All you need is a website conversion counting system such as Matomo or Analytics...

What bothers me most about Virtuemart is that it does not support tags that I could use to create promotions for products. Currently, I have to create dozens of unnecessary categories to be able to give unique discounts on products assigned to them.
I have over 100 categories and Virtuemart is becoming an increasingly inconvenient component of the online store for normal operation.

Such websites were fashionable over 5 years ago 

This template was created for Joomla 3 many years ago. It is very old and inefficient. Pages like this shouldn't be made anymore - there are too many bells and whistles - it's very heavy and slow.

The best thing about it all is that you used 3 frameworks on this overloaded website: Joomlaart T4, helix-ultimate and sppagebuilder

General Questions / Pop up in my VirtueMart shop

Last post by VB74 - October 10, 2024, 10:45:20 AM

Hello everyone,

On all the pages of my VirtueMart store (and the rest of my site as well), I would like to be able to display my newsletter registration module (AcyMailing) as a pop-up delayed by a few seconds (about 20) compared to the page display.

This module is currently located in the footer of my site (https://casa-bandera.com/)

Do you know what options are available?

Thanks in advance

This is an example of how I believe the VirtueMart Dashboard / Controlpanel can look like in Joomla 5/Atum.
