Backend 2.0.12f has only text links

[oheijman]

After installation of Virtue Mart 2.0.12f, I get the message "The update was SUCCESFULL". When clicking on "go to the shop", I get only a text menu with hyperlinks, which all return to this (the same) page again. No icons, only plain HTML.

I also installed the AIO package without problems, however, this message appears: "Ignore the message JLIB_INSTALLER_ABORT_COMP_BUILDADMINMENUS_FAILED". When I go to components > Virtuemart AIO, a blank screen returns. Also the complete frontend is blank, until I disable all VM plugins.

Hope someone has a clue... Thanks!

Joomla version: 1.5.25
PHP version: 5.1.6

I immediately see that the PHP version is too old. Should be PHP 5.2.17 or better, preferably  5.3+

Best to use Joomla 2.5 now, as J1.5 is no longer officially supported.  J2.5 need PHP 5.2.4 or better

[oheijman]

Thanks for your reply! I was afraid of this, but I can't upgrade now to J2.5, because of the JoomFish extension. I'll try to get my hoster to upgrade the PHP version.

Joomla 2.5 is multilingual enabled, VM 2 utilises that capability.

[oheijman]

Probably this is not the place to discuss this, but I'm already looking into 2.5's multilingual features. My current site has a lot of articles and uses JoomFish. All articles should be migrated to the new 2.5 including the translations. I'm not very happy with the way the multilingual feature works compared to JF. Besides that the existing translation cannot be migrated, the way translating has to be done is very time consuming and fault sensitive in my opinion...
