VM2 & Joomla 1.7

[kpg]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick respond.
I do the temp. overwrites most of the time like that. It's as you said "safer".  But i never worked with VirtueMart before. However, Thanks for the links.

The Component still has some bugs. For example the Upgrade via akeeba live update. Or the config. of creditc. So i'm not sure if i should install the componet on the livesite for the build up. What would you recomend?

Regards

Tobi

There are people already here using it on a live site, but it depends on the purpose (for exampel as catalogue is working already). You should also gain some experience with the RC first.

Hi,

Or the config. of creditc.

The configuration of the Credit Cards will be done by the payment plugin itself.

Hi,

@NeslonB. The Url to find the latest Version is: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files

It is Version M at the moment. And yes it is running on Joomla 1.7. x But i can't tell if it is perfect stable. It's a RC.  I made a sub-Joomla to test it.

Thanks Tobi. I'll check that out.

So when can we expect VM2 to be out of RC and good enough to be run on live site for store / shopping purposes?

I need it for a Joomla 1.7 site that is currently under development.

Thank you so much :-)

Edit: Worth mentioning, the site's built with a main focus on Jomsocial functionality. Will this first stable version be compatible with JS for reviews etc?

[Milbo]

We work together with community builder. There will be a plugin later for joomsocial also, we will see, who is going todo it.

I've followed this thread regarding use of Virtuemart and Joomla 1.7.  Where does one download VM2?  The download page only lists a link for vm 1.x which is not compatible with Joomla 1.7

Is there a hack people are employing by un-zipping the distribution and putting it in Joomla's extension directory manually?

Thanks!

Sorry if I'm repetitive, but I still feel like I need a more concrete answer to the questions:

a. can I use VM2 live for shopping cart, or is it too unstable still?
b. If no, when can VM2 be expected to be stable enough for this purpose?

Thanks again

Install it and start setting up the store, layout etc. By the time you have worked out how things are set up and styled the full release chould be available.

will that new release include all the standard shipping and payment modules

pp, ppp, auth.net, etc and UPS, USPS, Fedex       at least these three,    its currently useless without payment and shipping modules
