Display modal popup upon 'Add to cart'

This is a somewhat manipulative way of looking at things.

I think the same after your first answer.
I wrote about a non-working setting and your answer has been something like "the setting is useless".
As we both can see, another member has brought a more relevant contribution.

PS: Regarding the fact that the component is free ... I would prefer it to be paid and with reliable assistance, rather than free and with a belligerent and inaccurate community.

Since there was no VM 4.0.5 released. No one had a chance to test.

odd numbered versions are always dev versions and will only appear (if at all) on the https://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files

That's what I assumed, the odd numbered version were dev versions.

They used to appear for VM 3, but none since.

If VM 4.0.6 had been released as VM 4.0.5 and labelled dev, test, beta or release candidate the problems with it might have been picked up.

The issues with VM 4.0.6 were actually found on the day of its release.

At the moment VM 4.0.6 is labelled "Stable" and on the Admin download,  but has a critical issue which will break a store.

Some of those upgrading will lose there ability to take orders.

It's not helping with Virtuemart's reputation for reliability.

@ ssc3

Sadly I can only agree with your comments ..  but Max is the gatekeeper for all releases so until he is back on the 26th Aug it is what it is ..
We can only hope users check the forums before updating to get a flavour of the releases acceptance...

Thanks for that info ssc3 & GJC Web Design (and others who are making a positive contribution here),

So good to see your comments. You guys really do have VMs best interests at heart.

Knowing that Max is back on the 26th makes a big difference.

Thank you again.

Hi all, thanks for your contribution.
Re-reading my messages I realize that they may seem controversial and unproductive but it was not my intention. My problem is the need to use reliable solutions and not run the risk of blocking working sites. In my experience VM is the best solution so far, even compared to non-free solutions. By publishing here I try to make my contribution.
Max is coming back on 8/26? Hope better after that date.
Thank you

Hello, I am testing...
During setup, it results missing the TCDP so I loaded the com_tcpdf_1.2.2.
After this, I have a message about missing some plugins related to payment and shipping: AIO is needed.
In the repository the last one is com_virtuemart.4.0.4.10688_ext_aio. Which release is the correct one?
Thanks in advance
Maurizio

afaik there are no changes to the AIO or TCP so just use the latest 4.0.4

Installed 4.0.7 over 4.0.6

Initially a "protected method" error but managed to find a way round that.

From the point of view of this thread, the "Display modal popup upon 'Add to cart' problem is fixed.

However if returning from a payment server using GET the order complete page while readable was unformatted.

Refreshing the page fixed this.

So two identical GET's in succession.

First one showed format errors.

The second worked as expected.

Payments methods that use POST for the return seem to work correctly.

It looks like there are only formatting problems left to solve for the checkout, nothing that will stop a transaction.
