Responsive VirtueMart Template - VP ProMart!

[Jumbo!]

Hi sirius,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Please find my answers against the points raised by you below:

The ask question popup is not responsive

We will check and fix this in the next update.

the mircodata stuff is not compliant

Using Micro-format is always tough so we have started adding schema codes in our templates recently. Our upcoming template (VP MegaMart) has an option to enable/disable schema in product pages. We will also add the same feature in VP ProMart in its next update.

lacks of mega menu system for the shop menu, like on "vmfashion" (I know I can install it later but it's a must have today)

It is very hard to implement a mega menu system in responsive layout. VP ProMart is built on 100% Twitter Bootstrap framework which still does not have a mega menu system. It will not be possible for us to add Mega Menu system in VP ProMart but we are already in process to develop our own responsive mega menu system which will be implemented in our future templates. Our next template (VP MegaMart) also has a built in mega system but it is not a responsive template. VP MegaMart is expected to be released within this week.

The "Quicklook" button is perfect, but why not put a little add to cart next to it ? (and so a notify instead in case of out of stock)

We know that it may suit better to show a direct add to cart button for some of the shop but not for all. Because that way when a custom click on the add to cart button on product listing page they move directly to cart page. They do not get a chance to see the product options/cart attributes available for the product. That is the reason why we added Quick View feature in VP ProMart. If you want to show add to cart button then there needs to be check where customers able to see the cart attributes and able to chose them before adding the product to the cart. I am glad to inform you that we have also implemented this in VP MegaMart. If you are not looking for a responsive design then probably VP MegaMart will be a better choice for you.

Thanks a lot for your replies !

all is fine ok.

For the quick addtocart, I understand that, yes, because I have the issue on one of my sites as the customer don't choose a mandatory option to get the best price (he must tell us wich hardware refurbished he will return to get the discount), but this is an old virtuemart issue or at least I must say a lack of feature (IMUO). We can't lock the add to cart button if the customer didn't choose X option.

This apart yes, I look about a responsive one, but wait for your new VP Megapart to see it all 

Another thing that could be great is to have the possibility to switch (in the categories) from list view to mosaic view instantly from icons.

thanks, keep up the good work.

Thanks Sirius.

Has anyone mastered the image sizes in VP Promart so the zoom function works properly? Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Most of my images are high and thin. Tried 150 x 350 but zoom doesnt work on quick view or full details. So tried 200 x 500 (wide x high). Zoom works in quick view but not in full product details. I just get 2 huge images when hover in full details.
My square images don't zoom either. 350x350 and I just get 2 big images in zoom. 500x500 and same again.

Thanks guys..

VirtuePlanet releases one of the most advanced VirtueMart 2.0 Template. VP ProMart is a fully responsive Joomla 2.5 Template professional VirtueMart 2.0 HTML overrides. The template is designed under Twitter Bootstrap Framework using modern techniques like HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery.

Now the user can take Quick Look of the complete product right from the categories page or from the product listing through VM Product Modules. VP ProMart also take the Custom Field feature of VirtueMart to a new level. The normal custom fields are shown under tabular contents. If you publish the Custom Field under layout position 'sidebar' then it be shown in a modal window and link of that field can be seen in the top sidebar location.

It allows you to create your own custom field layout position for the Cart Attributes. As a result now you can assign a Custom Field to a Cart Attribute which will allow you to describe the Cart Attribute option in much for detailed manner. For Example - If your cart attribute is Size of the product then you can show the Size Chart through another Custom Field in a Modal window which can be opened by clicking the link right below the respective Cart Attribute. Please visit the Product Details page in our live demo site for more details.

VP ProMart also enables you to show Manufacturer logo against each products everywhere in your site. Whether it is the Category layout or Product Details Page or you are showing the products through the VM Product Module, Manufacturer Logo option is available everywhere. You can also disable to show them from template settings.

It also has a very flexible product image display option for the Product Details Page. Images get be zoomed just by mouse over and they can also be opened in a modal gallery for better & bigger views.

The template comes with Six different color styles (Blue Color, Pink Color, Green Color, Turquoise Color, Light Pink Color and Orange Color) which makes it suitable to use for any shopping cart.

VirtueMart Category Menu Module and standard Joomla Menu Module can be used for multilevel as VP ProMart automatically converts them to a Stylish Accordion Menu.

We have also developed a new VirtueMart Product Module which allows you to show your VirtueMart Products (Featured, Latest, Top-Ten or Random) thorough a Stylish but simple Slideshow. This module is used at the top of the home page at our demo site and it comes in the VP ProMart package.

PM me the link of the page where you have uploaded 500x500px image and Image Zoom is not working. I need to check it myself.

I tried this template out and it worked flawlessly. My only regret is that I can't use the Virtuemart portion of it with my current template. 

Jumbo... How about some more "Themes"? 

[Jumbo!]

SCJberry,

VP ProMart is a responsive Joomla 2.5 Template not a VirtueMart Theme so you can not combine its VirtueMart layouts with any other Joomla Template.

We will release another responsive Joomla 2.5 Template for VirtueMart 2.0 in April 2013.

New VirtueMart theme (which can work with any Joomla Template) is expected by May 2013 and we have plan to release 4 more such themes within 2013.

I bought a license of this template as it looked pretty promising from the start and I never regretted that choice. The template is VERY VERY good and even fro me, as a VM novice and not having worked with his templates before, very easy to handle.

And I can only praise his support which I found nothing short but EXCELLENT. Iy' really a joy and a huge help to find and be able to work with those kind of products and developers when developing advanced websites.

Big thumbs up and thans a million !

[Jumbo!]

Thanks TTom911.

Please note that VP ProMart is fully compatible with VirtueMart 2.0.20b.

euh... i'm a bit confused 

Is VP pro mart only a virtuemart template? It can't handle joomla modules/views? I'm a bit lost between the description "template" and "theme" at the moment. I bought a template once in the past and it gave me the same look for joomla pages and virtuemart pages. It is an uniform look for the whole website. Is VP pro mart not like that?

I have been looking at your template and I like what I see. The speed is good, the look also. But I would do some small changes myself  But before purchasing the template I want to be sure that I don't have to rework the whole template to work with joomla modules as well.

And also... you are launching a few new templates during the month of may. What are the major changes with the current VP pro mart template? Because I really like the twitter bootstrap look and feel. I'm not sure if I should wait untill you bring the new templates online or if I should get the current VP pro mart template..

VP ProMart is complete Twitter Bootstrap based responsive Joomla 2.5 template with VirtueMart HTML layout overrides. The module position of the template can be found in the demo site of the template: http://demos.virtueplanet.com/promart/explore/module-positions

Our upcoming template will also be a Bootstrap based responsive Joomla 2.5 template for VirtueMart 2.0. It will have a complete new look with few new features which we will disclose on release.

Hope it is clear to you now.

[Peter Pillen]

Thanks for the update. I will keep track of this topic and the coming new templates then

I set default country in vm backend to 223 (USA) Now when someone goes to the cart there is, in the bt and st, the default country showing but the bt and st are not complete and I would like to not show the country until all the details have been submitted. I added text to make it more apparent. www.pollenranch.com/store/cart
