SOLVED: Vendor name change

[alinajenon]

I am trying to figure out how to change the demo vendor name "Washupito's Tiendita" to the name of the shop I'm setting up "North American Safety FR" ...

In doing so, I discovered the below error message... this is my first time setting up VirtueMart. Thank you for any assistance you can offer!!!

Please update all users to be associated with virtuemart_vendor_id 1.

Looks like the install has lost its "link" from vendor to user

Just do as the message says and mark your want store admin as a vendor

Please fix this in your phpMyAdmin and set #__virtuemart_vmusers.user_is_vendor = 1 and #__virtuemart_vmusers.virtuemart_vendor_id = 1 to one of your administrator users. Please update all users to be associated with virtuemart_vendor_id 1.

Thank you for responding... I did as it said and it worked. I was just a little nervous to edit php for the first time. Thanks again for the reassurance!

Hi,

I am a beginner when it comes to virtuemart so apologies for the simple question.

I have changed the virtuemart vendor id to the same as my joomla username id but I get the attached error message when I try to change the virtuemart user id in phpmyadmin.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Andrew

why are u changing the structure of the table fields?  leave alone - you will break your install.

If you are trying to adjust the vendor you should be in Browse - then edit the record

But have you tried to change the vendor via the admin->Tools-> tools & migration -> migration tab
at the bottom -> set store owner?

Thanks,

Tried that with the id number but the error still appears.
