Changes in VM2 layout regarding children

[Sadruddin]

Hi.  I'm revisiting VM after about 18 months, and am rebuilding an updated site.
My problem is this:

There have been two crucial changes which have made my shop look really nasty.  I enclose a pic.



1:  I now no longer seem to show the thumbnail of an image when displaying a product.  Previously, a thumbnail would display at top left, with the option to View Full-size Image.  Now all I get is the full sized image, which throws the whole displayed item into a mess.

2:  In the previous version I was using, 1.1.7, when there was a child (or pair of child) record, then the layout was that there was a full description, followed by a box with the choice of different products based on child records, and the add to cart facility.  This seemed to work pretty well for my site.  Now there's no bottom panel, and the child record choice show to the right of the big image, rather thn at the bottom of the page, and there's a BIG pale blue box saying "Chooses a product variant first".

Help?  Someone?  Please?

For the image display see http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=113906.msg383485#msg383485

Use Firebug to look at the css/display code and work out what canges you would like to make. http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102850.0

The layout can be set to whatever you want using template overrides and/or css as described in the first reference I gave above. See http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/overrides  and  http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Hints_for_the_use_of_the_template_system
