Question regarding jquery and cannot add product to cart

[jamedia]

Hello,

I been developing a site by using VM2 and Joomla 1.7.3 with my own custom template and I been having some problem regarding adding products to cart, sometimes it work and something it doesn't no matter what browser I use and my client was experiencing the same issue with different browser.

If I disable jquery on the back end of VM2 I get zero products when I click the add to cart button, so I found this tutorial http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/General_JS-Problems_with_templates_and_jQuery but I was a little confuse about the instruction and so here's what I did.

I edit the file virtuemart.cfg and change 1 to 0 and then I went to my database I chose table _virtuemart_adminmenuentries and emptied and then click refresh, but I left jquery enabled on the backend of VM2, was that what I was suppose to do?

You should only do those if the problem is with the backend. Makes no difference to the front-end add to cart.

So far it seems that Joomla templates likely to cause FE problems appear to be those produced by Rockettheme and made with Artisteer. Additionally some menu & slideshow scripts may be implicated. But with VM2 being only released for 3 weeks - and with two holdays periods in that - the likely issues are not really clear yet.

Thank you for your quick reply.

How can I get everything back to how it was before beside changing the google_jquery=1.

I notice on the backed of the VM I don't have the left slide menu anymore.

That's because you deleted the entries in table _virtuemart_adminmenuentries  - that is the admin menu links. I assume you used Akeeba to make a backup before editing?

If not you can restore the table entries without affecting anything else by using phpMyAdmin. If you open the package com_virtuemart.2.0.0.zip and then open com_virtuemart\install\install_essential_data.sql in a good text editor then you can copy the data for table `#__virtuemart_adminmenuentries into the sql editor window of phpMyAdmin. It is handy that the required sql data is the first in the full sql file........

I have a backup, thank you for all your help.
