Building a template/theme for virtuemart 2 from scratch

[cryptorider]

Well I have been searching the internet and I did not manage to find any good tutorial about this.Well wiki is not so detailed and I found only an outdated book.So I would like to ask you.I need to make a theme/template from scratch and i need a guide/tutorial for virtuemart 2 to learn how I can intergrate its modules on my development.As I believe if I start building it with only notepad++ and without using the appropriate configurations all my work will be useless.Correct me if I am wrong.So I would be grateful if you can refer me to a nice blog or a guide/tutorial website of building themes from scratch

Thanks for your time!

Hi everyone,

VM doesn't have a template guide because it doesn't have it's own templating system... this is because it uses the CORE JOOMLA templating system.

So if you want to learn how to style/design/template VM, start off over at the Joomla! site and read up on HOW TO CREATE TEMPLATES, and TEMPLATE OVERRIDES.

@cryptorider,

As I believe if I start building it with only notepad++ and without using the appropriate configurations all my work will be useless

NO. I'm not sure what you mean by "appropriate configuration", but you can edit PHP code using a simple text editor.
