hello,
sorry about my english, i´ll try to do my best so you can understand me.
i have the following problem.
when i add a module in the left column, the virtuemart layout page content doesnt show completely.
the right part of the content is cut, and i cant see all the text. here´s an example: http://www.vinosychampagne.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=virtuemart&Itemid=12
i dont know how to adjust the content so i can see it all, or if i am doing something wrong in the configuration.
this happens in all the content of virtuemart search, not only this page, here´s another example: http://www.vinosychampagne.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=2&Itemid=12
i apreciatte the help you can give me

Hello,

Basically this is joomla template thing, or better a "design" thing . It's how your joomla positions for your template are adjusted.
O joomla/design part your left column on your template is large ... i took a look using firebug and you have a width of 232px ... make it smaller or just edit your template style.css file around line 116. Also change your h1,h2,h3 font sizes, are huge!! :)

Also i find a line on the produced html <div style="width: 999px;" id="maincontent>  that overrides the width of your main content ... are you using a commercial template?? Should check it's options, you have place a width 999px only to the mainbody! is huge man!

Regarding VM everything works fine, In your case i think you have to many products & categories per row. Try 3 or 4 per row (change it from the backend). Also inside your product details page use mediathumb and not fullimage (http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=106599.msg355728#msg355728).

Be sure to check your joomla template options!! Especially if is a commercial template!

So, there is not a VM issue after all but hope helps you out!
