Text in buttons is missing

[i101]

Hello there,

after I imported a Joomla/Virtuemart 2 onto a new database the text on all buttons is missing. See for yourself, I added a screenshot:



it should look like this:



Any advice what I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean you took your exising files and added a database from another site? Both the same Joomla/VM versions and with identical configurations?

Is a problem with your language settings/files - so I'd guess the configurations were different.

TM_VIRTUEMART_EMPTY_CART

is NOT following our convention like a COM_VIRTUEMART_ therefore you use not the original virtuemart. So ask the guy who sold it to you.

Hello,

@jenkinhill I installed joomla/virutemart2 for test purposes on another database before uploading it to the designed website. After uploading the joomla structure and importing the database with help of mysql dumper the text is missing.

@Milbo: I bought a VirtueMart Template @templatemonster.com. The template contained a installable package that concluded j2.5, virtuemart and all necessary modules to make my shop look like in the demo. I didnt know that the creator has sold me a modified version of VirtueMart.

Sorry I should have spotted the TM_  in the language error. That is certainly a Template Monster file. The language file they have used will be somewhere in the TM template file package, unless they used overrides which are entirely stored in the original database. One problem with using TM is that the template is probably set up for a non-current version of VirtueMart (usually 2.0.6 or earlier) so breaks when you update your VirtueMart, as the overrides and language files do not necessarily match - and unfortunately their support is very variable. No problem though once you work out how to edit template & language overrides for yourself.

Basicly it means I have to fix it by myself if templatemonster has such a poor support.

Best wishes and thanks for the quick respond!
Cheers

I found the solution. Looks like instead " they where using ' for some of the descriptions inside the language ini's.

What a relief
