Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: Search no longer working
Last post by carlos88 - January 30, 2025, 17:31:08 PM
I'm testing the update to VM 4.4.4 and I'm experiencing the same issue. 

The search actually works fine until I edit a product. After that, the specific product can no longer be found when searching from the frontend. 

Any idea when the next VM version will be released for those of us with a paid membership? 

Carlos.

VirtueMart 4.4.4 11101, Joomla ‎5.2.3

Hello,
in this version of VM, the display of special products, i.e. new products, top sales, latest products, etc. within a category is not filtered. All products from all categories are displayed. In the older version, everything worked correctly.

Thanks for the advice :)

General Questions / Re: how to do a bulk import in...
Last post by hazael - January 28, 2025, 18:49:58 PM
Nothing extraordinary. You manage your store directly in spreadsheets – for example, in Google Sheets. When dealing with hundreds of parameters that need constant modifications, working directly in the VirtueMart panel is nearly impossible – you'd simply get lost in the mess and drown in the chaos. That's why I maintain the entire database in Google Sheets, where I can easily collaborate online with my team. Employees can also make real-time updates, ensuring everything stays organized and up to date. Updating the store in VirtueMart? That's just a matter of importing the sheet through Ro CSVI, which takes only a few seconds.

Google Sheets also provides automatic translation features, making it a valuable tool for multilingual stores (and other valuable rules that automatically calculate everything). Managing this manually in VirtueMart would be unimaginable, especially considering how chaotic it becomes when handling a large number of custom fields. Sometimes, these fields even disappear after saving a product, making direct work within VirtueMart not just inefficient but also frustrating. With spreadsheets, everything is structured, backed up, and easily manageable – a lifesaver for any serious store.

Of course, this is not a criticism of VirtueMart—quite the opposite! I truly appreciate this component, mainly because with basic programming knowledge, you can achieve almost anything you need. It just requires a bit of effort and willingness to explore its full potential.

Quote from: hazael on September 06, 2024, 04:14:07 AMPersonally, I have several large stores, which I modify in a Google Spreadsheet and from it export whatever I want to Virtuemart

Could you elaborate? What is your setup like? This info could be of use to many people in the community. Thanks.

Hello,

On te productdetails page I get the error:
Oops!1267 - Illegal mix of collations (utf8mb4_unicode_ci,EXPLICIT) and (utf8mb3_unicode_ci,EXPLICIT) for operation 'ifnull'
All other pages of the website seem to work but none of de productdetails pages.
It happened after the database was migrated from 5.7 to 8.

Can someone help me?

Installation, Migration & Upgrade / Add Shipping Address
Last post by sandomatyas - January 28, 2025, 11:53:07 AM
Hi
I installed a clean Joomla 5.2.3 and VirtueMart 4.4.4. I also added a new user, navigated to VirtueMart shoppers, edited the shopper, added the shopper information data, and saved.

In the right column, there is a Shipping Addresses block with an "Add Address" button. When I click it, the URL changes from:
administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=edit&virtuemart_user_id[]=291
to:
administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=addST&new=1&addrtype=ST&virtuemart_user_id[]=291&bd9c29fae6322449275f19caf352e06e=1

However, nothing happens. I get the same form showing shopper information, shopper group, password, etc.

Am I supposed to see a shipping address form?

The last revision 1105

Seems to have no effect on the pagination.
But will wait for the full package, just in case...
