Virtuemart Screwed up the Entire Functionality of the Front End for My Client

[tim92109]

I'm kind of pissed.  If my client is logged in where they can edit an article, there's also an edit icon on virtuemart products.  If they click on that, it takes them to the virtuemart configuration outside of the template.  There's no admin template around the area.  There's no front end template around the area.  I could deal with that except if they hit cancel - or anything, they can't get out.  So, now the editing functionality of the entire site is messed up because of VM.

Really?  If you're going to make it so that admins can edit products from the front end when logged in - then make it so they can get back out!!!  Frustrated.  There's not even a class on the edit button so that it can be removed.  I know your extension's free... and maybe you're trying to get people to buy 3rd party extensions that you also own to make things work.  But c'mon...

That is your opening "cry" for help!

So you never tested this before handing over to the client!

And you never tested it before going live? And you handed it over to a paying client - hmm!

Browse the forum if you have these sort of issues and you will often find a solution - you can do a template override to remove the edit button from the VM product page.

Copy

no it is not outside the template. It is just rendering the componenent only.

?? That you have problems to use the FE administration of VM has nothing todo with the other editing functionality of joomla. Completly different code.

Sounds like you have no clue that you must configure the ACL properly. Before blaming VM I give you the good advice to read the tutorials, manuals, and the forum first.
