Hi guys,
I am trying to understand VM and one of the things I can't figure out is how to add a new shopper through the admin.

Yes, I did google it! And came across a post which doesn't have aswer.
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=106127.0

The guy says he was able to do that on VM1. Where is the new button gone on VM2 then?

Is it a bug? Was the ability to add shoppers removed removed?
Or does it mean I should not be using VM2 because it still on trial/tests?

It seems logical to me that a 'Super Admin' would have the ability to add shoppers/entries, after all he is the super admin.

VM seem fantastics, but there are a few small thing like this that are doing my head.

Please help if you now how to. I am new, first time using VM.

Joomla 2.5.16
VM 2.0.24c
Brand new installation, nothing but VM2 installed.

Thanks

Add new users with Joomla's user manager in the BE. They will then appear in VM's shopper list where you can edit them to add billing address etc, or I just leave it for the added shopper to fill in the address when they log in to make a purchase.

Thanks for the quick reponse.

Do you know if there is a way to add a 'new shopper' button? I mean a plugin or something similar.

Just from a user experience point of view.

I see the point of managing them through Joomla's user manager, but only if I could add all the details.
But if I have to go to user manager, create an account, then go to VM and edit the details. It is not very friendly.

That is why I would like to know if there is a way to add the new button.

Thanks again.
