Hi,

I have both template which came in package with VM. I started etering product in VM and until now I have added approx. 300 products.
When I try to test product ordering I receive message 'No shipment method has been configurated'. In order to solve this I searhed google and this forum. Most of comments states that it is recommended to instal AIO (all in one) which includes "Shipment method".

It would avoid many issues for if I could simply find Shipment method plugin and install it via extension manager. Can anyone recommend me link because I can't find it anywhere via google or VM forum.

Any help is appreciated and many thanks in advance!
Adi

QuoteI have both template which came in package with VM.

If you bought a commercial template with VM included as a QuickStart package then it should already have the aio component with the shipping/payment plugins included. The standard shipping plugin is accessed and configured on the Shipment methods tab under the Shop menu.  http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/20-shop-menu/59-edit-shipment-method.html

Hi,

thank you very much for promt reply!

Please note that I have followed instructions from link you suggested

http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/20-shop-menu/59-edit-shipment-method.html

and I am stuck on this part

'3. In dropdown Shipment Method select  the shipment method you whish to create'

because there are no value in Shipment Method? Also, after I try to Save, I receive this message

Have you checked that there are VM shipping plugins installed/published in your Joomla Plugins manager?

Hi GJC,

there are no plugins installed/published under Plugins in administration. I still didn't find any solution. Can somebody send me link to download some shipment method (rar file)? I am confused, why it has to be so complicated? I use version  2.0.26d and I am unable to update for some reason.

Thank in advance for suggestions!

Thanks,
Adi

It sounds like you haven't installed the All In One.. that has plugins and modules

Download http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/673/com_virtuemart.2.0.26d_extract_first.zip
extract (unzip) it
inside is a com_virtuemart.2.0.26d_ext_aio.zip - install it via the normal Joomla installer

Then u will have a Standard  weight postcode shipping pliugin in your joomla plugins
enable it - that's it

you will find various payment plugins and modules are installed as well

If you need other types of shipping look at http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/virtuemart-extensions/virtuemart-shipping

do not try and update anything by the live updater - if you want to go to 2.6 use the proper joomla installer
