'No shipment method has been configurated', installing plugin?

[adi2014]

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

I 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

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
