Hi , We are running our new site with VM 2.0  and Joomla 1.7.4  .    All working ok !!  We would like to add a third party theme ext.   In VM 1 it was loaded in the VM_component - theme file,   but in VM 2.0  there is no "theme"  file it is now the "views" file.     How and where would we upload our new third party theme ext file to ??   we tried to upload to the views file but , did not work.  Does VM 2.0 even allow third party themes ?  also ,  where in VM 2.0 do we change the themes ?  In VM1. there was the store config display option and then one could pick the theme that was displayed.   Any help would be appreciated. Thanks , Dave

You should place your theme in the following directory!  Then you have to select your theme category layout and product layout page in the admin section of Virtuemart.  Then you have to select your category template and category browse page in each category then click on the save button.  Also make sure you uncheck to use virtuemart css in the template section of the admin area.   If you don't uncheck to use Virtuemart Css your theme will not align up right.
