Hi everyone, i've already installed VM1 in a couple of sites, and must say i'm a big fan of this component. I've installed now Virtuemart 2.0.12f. in a new Joomla site i'm working on (version 2.5), and i've noticed there's a big change in the layout of the checkout / cart page. I really liked the "steps" option VM1 had, and that's missing in VM2. Is there an option to configure checkout in steps? I mean like this: Step one:login/register user. Step two: choose delivery method. Step three: payment...etc. It looks really confusing for me as it is right now.

I really need to know this!! Thank you so much in advance.

Hello,

You could create your own steps, there is guide here from PRO: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=106459.0

That means that you have to override the cart template files.
