Does it require updating of existing template overrides?

Just installed and started to test on dev server - some immediate feedback, hope this helps

Bill to and ship to field labels are not being converted to text - in admin and invoice/delivery notes
Drag and drop ordering is a nice user interface addition

Edit order is a good start:-
Will there be an option to add an item and adjust shipping cost?

Fancybox looks cool!
However, the CSS z-index will cause most users that have a product image mouseover zoom (cloudzoom) to have the fancybox appear beneath their product image, Facebox was fine:-
Fancybox z-index = 11xx;
Facebox z-index =   z-index: 65xxx;

You may want to adjust this to stop a whole load of post "moaning" about this

VirtueMart is a great system overall. Overall my clients really like it.

But there is something that changed with a recent update that is totally unacceptable to them. We talked to the people who did the theme and template but they said this is something that is in the core and they can't change it. They had disabled it, but there were problems when they did so and had to add it back in.

Here's what my client can't deal with:

When you add custom fields which they already had in place previously, btw, all of them now add "No Additional Charge" to the end of each and every custom field variable entry. They do not want those words in the custom field.

They sell lingerie and there are times that some larger sizes will need to reflect additional charges. Not to mention that they do not want those words at the end of each and every custom field variable. It looks so bad to see a bra size variable like 36D and the beside that, it also says No Additional Charge after each entry.

It makes the fields too big/wide, and can cause real issues especially if the bra is big enough to actually warrant an additional charge for that size.

How can we get this fixed?

Thanks so much for any help on this.

Great news,

The only problem I found is with translations, all the backend vm2 configuration tab appears in english (an all the text inside the different tabs at configuration) in our spanish version, even installing the language pack still appears in english.

We dont have anylonger only one language file. The keys are not missing, the language file seems not be loaded. Please explain

- which language do you use (english is not enough, we must know if you use en-US or en-GB)

Fancybox z-index = 11xx;
Facebox z-index =   z-index: 65xxx;

I think a z-index of 1100 is high enough. In fact I believe there exists no page with more than 20 different levels.

This is a totally beginner question and should be posted in the general forum. Your templaters are noobs, really. http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/33-templating-layouts/107-customization-of-displayed-text.html

The reason is that the spain language files are not done. We have new language files for the config, the orders and shopperfields. You just must check the new files and copy paste the old translation to it.

@Alejandro Kurczyn,
It depends on the template. In my case - using MegaMart Template - it definitely needs a template update, because the add to cart for Homepage and category product listing does not work. I think before installing any update it is strongly recommended to take a look into the template developers website about compatibility. Especially if the template developers do not use the same javascript code for the VM functions as VM uses by default, I would try it first on a localhost install to see, if it works or not.

[Milbo]

it definitely needs a template update, because the add to cart for Homepage and category product listing does not work.

This is strange. First problem with the templaters is that the overwrite anything without checking if the overwrite is necessary. The add to cart button works the same as before, just choose facebox in the BE.

Well done guys, it is becoming better and better every day!

Has the stockable variant children price display for various shopper groups bug been fixed?

http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=111867.0

Rgrds,
Chris

[Milbo]

ah yes Hutson. the order edit view was missing to load the shopper lang keys. Fixed.

[AH]

Cool! 

Did you fix this?

"ADD SHIPMENT ADDRESS" after click SAVE Button ERROR:
check failed: ST has no name

"Address Nickname" field has to be enabled- Just another field that slows checkout and causes issues if disabled

PRO suggested a "fix"

Code Select Expand

views/user/eddit_address.php

AFTER
<input type="hidden" name="address_type" value="<?php echo $this->address_type; ?>" />

add this
<?php if (JRequest::getVar('addrtype')=='ST')   { echo '<input type="hidden" name="shipto_address_type_name" value="Shipping" />';}?>

THEN:
edit_address_userfields.php
AFTER:
echo '   <table  class="adminForm user-details">' . "\n";
      $_table = true;
       }
Add this
   if ($_field['name']=='shipto_address_type_name') continue;

But not sure if you have a better option?

[Milbo]

We could use some automatism,.. creating a name by Company name and street or so. Or add as default Shipping.

[AH]

Automation would be great:

Possibly concatenate:
Address_1 + Zip

Company_name is often removed or left blank so would not be the best.


On slightly related topic, I have been strugglling for days trying to do a test on the zip code for uk


Any help or direction is greatly appreciated, I know you are extremely busy

I sorted it in Vm 1.1 but and have no success in VM2 (pathetic I know  )

Code Select Expand


Vm 1.1
[b]ps_userfield.php[/b]
if( isset( $required_fields['zip'] )) {
echo '
if( form.country.value == "GBR"  && !(/^([a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9rR][0-9a-zA-Z]? [0-9][abd-hjlnp-uw-zABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})$/.test(form.zip.value))) {
alert( \'Please enter a valid UK post code - e.g. KA27 8AA \');
return false;
}';
}
   



I can see the use of validator in edit_address.php (but am failing to get i test to work!)

Code Select Expand

<script language="javascript">
function myValidator(f, t) {
f.task.value = t; //this is a method to set the task of the form on the fTask.
if (document.formvalidator.isValid(f)) {
f.submit();
return true;
} else {
var msg = '<?php echo addslashes (JText::_ ('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_MISSING_REQUIRED_JS')); ?>';
alert(msg + ' ');
}
return false;
}

function callValidatorForRegister(f) {

var elem = jQuery('#username_field');
elem.attr('class', "required");

var elem = jQuery('#name_field');
elem.attr('class', "required");

var elem = jQuery('#password_field');
elem.attr('class', "required");

var elem = jQuery('#password2_field');
elem.attr('class', "required");

var elem = jQuery('#userForm');

return myValidator(f, '<?php echo $rtask ?>');

}
</script>

The reason is that the spain language files are not done. We have new language files for the config, the orders and shopperfields. You just must check the new files and copy paste the old translation to it.

So any chance we can get the language file packs updated from transifex and install them instead of changing the lines in those files? Big task for multilingual websites.

Regards

EDIT: Done it manually

That worked great. I searched for No additional charge in the language overrides and removed it from the cart item it found in the search. All is well again. Thanks for the link to read over. Between that and a confirmation on where it would be located, I was able to get it done.

I think this is a great system and I have tons to learn!

Thanks again.
