This is the site i've recently taken over, i didnt create it but i'm in charge of it now and i've made a few small changes.

Site is using WM 1.1.2 and joomla 1.5

I've also been asked to increase the traffic to the web site, no easy task

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

I added a few new categories and products, and ive added the addthis link to each product.

i fixed the email a freind button as the links it posted were broken, i'm assuming its because of sh404SEF. Also disabled the PDF button as it doesnt show pictures.


I'm a bit worried about updating to 1.1.4 so i'll hold off a bit longer.

VM 1.1.2 is liable to hack attacks, so an update to 1.1.3 at the least is recommended.

The site is just acting as a catalogue, no live store involved. so can always be restored.

i have a feeling lots of image links will be broken if i upgrade

[jenkinhill]

OK, but pre 1.1.3 sites have already been compromised and used in phishing scams.

wow man how did you integrate that flash in your site it looks so well done

[Pitty]

I didn't integrate flash as i didnt create the site, but i've made a large number of changes on the backend, but i mainly just add products, and make sure it runs smoothly, which it does anyway because its joomla/virtuemart

I ended up upgrading to VM 1.1.4 from 1.1.2 and it went very smoothly, i downloaded the upgrade patch and installed it through the vm admin cpanel.

I still cant get PDF pages to work properly, and i've had about 5 different attempts at it. I just ended up disabling PDF.
