"You cannot change the order of items, as an item in the list is `Checked Out`"

[lilianamoreno]

Hi guys,

I'm using VM2.0.6 on Joomla 2.5, and when I try to save a new order for the Buyer Fields  in Configuration->Buyer Fields, I get an error saying "You cannot change the order of items, as an item in the list is `Checked Out`"

Does anyone know what it means? or how I can see "checked items" ? in order to eliminate the item.
Than you very much.

It is a bug

You have three choices
1. Edit order in the detail screens for each item
2. Edit ordering field in the database
3. Override template

I found 3. the most satisfactory ...

read about template overriding

copy the default.php file from \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\views\userfields\tmpl\ and put the copy in a new directory \administrator\templates\bluestork\html\com_virtuemart\userfields - change bluestork to whatever your admin template is

Then edit the copied default.php to make sure a checkbox gets created on all lines - even those with corefields

code example in this post
