General Questions / Re: Bring Virtuemart back to s...
Last post by EvanGR - September 09, 2024, 13:13:16 PMI have a custom VM installation (with lots of modifications to suit my needs), and it's been working very well through the years.
One of our "obstacles" for growth, was VM's tight dependency on lots of legacy libraries and frameworks, which made it harder to create a modern UI, and provide a fast/minimal frontend with top pagespeed scores.
(We're still on a VM 3.9.x branch btw)
I agree with the sentiments in this thread. Backwards compatibility IS important, because VM cannot compete in the landscape as a fresh product. But it has to become "lighter" on legacy dependencies, and more open to tweaking and deep customization.
Allow the frontend to integrate whatever libraries and frameworks the developer wants, irrespective of the needs of the admin templates (e.g. make it a breeze to be able to switch Tailwind + React in the frontend, instead of jQuery and Bootstrap).

Last post by hazael - September 07, 2024, 16:17:13 PMI understand it perfectly, but it is a bug, because in vector files the concept of a thumbnail does not exist at all - there is no need for it. So let virtuemart just display the original file - it's probably not hard to fix

Last post by hazael - September 06, 2024, 12:36:30 PMPhoca support - this chart speaks for itself.
Experience and good history isn't everything. In our country, a small courier company quickly surpassed the long-established state-owned post office. Despite its history and traditions, the post office failed to adapt to changing times. Its outdated practices and lack of innovation led to a decline in both employee morale and customer satisfaction.
It's similar with virtuemart - focuses on backward compatibility with the old code with which it wants to survive until Joomla 6, where in the end you can retire after that

Last post by hazael - September 06, 2024, 09:32:50 AMQuoteYou get changes and you just have to take it.
Really, seriously? Do I need to use Bootstrap? It's terrible. It's a terribly heavy framework. It has too large Javascript and css files. It should be eliminated from Joomla just like jquery in Virtuemart. I blocked it on the entire domain from the front end.
Pages should be super efficient and fast. And if you're pushing Bootstrap, I don't understand at all, why did you use Uikit in the new Virtuemart template in the admin panel? In the administration panel, the user is forced to unnecessarily load several frameworks (Uikit + Bootsrap + Jquery + custom code) - I don't understand this solution at all.
Uikit and Tailwind: are the fastest frameworks
Bootstrap: the size might slow down your website - this framework is overloaded with a huge amount of code that a normal online store does not need.

Last post by hazael - September 06, 2024, 04:14:07 AMRO CSVI can literally do anything. When products have dozens of custom fields, manually adding them directly to Virtuemart is just for masochists. CSVI imports and exports CSV, Excel, XML, etc.
Personally, I have several large stores, which I modify in a Google Spreadsheet and from it export whatever I want to Virtuemart
