Upgrading VM2 to 3

[madscotsman]

HI all,

I am trying to update my site from VM2 to VM3. I have a local copy on my local PC. I am using Joomla 2.5.27 and VM2.6.14. I also have the JoomSEF Virtuemart extension. JoomSEF is version 4 and the VM extension is up to date, which it says on their website will work with VM 2 and 3.

I have read the guide at

http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/installation-migration-upgrade/198-upgrade-virtuemart-2-to-virtuemart-3.html


Any time I try and update  from VM 2 to 3, I get a display which looks like

( ! ) Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$link in C:\wamp\www\Nav-e-gate4less\administrator\modules\mod_vmmenu\tmpl\default.php on line 41

How do I get round this?

1. these are only notices - not errors
2. this is the VM admin module and at those lines it should detect that your version is VM3 and not show

if(JVM_VERSION<3){
      $vmMenu='<ul id="menu" >';
      $vmMenu.='<li class="node '.$class.'"><a href="'.$vmComponentItems->link.'">'.$vmComponentItems->text.'</a>';//LINE 41
   } else{
      $vmMenu='<ul id="menu" class="nav '.$class.'" >';
      $vmMenu.='<li class="dropdown" ><a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">'.$vmComponentItems->text.'<span class="caret"></span></a>';
   }

hmmmm

Thanks for that.

So how do I stop Joomla displaying these notices? I have debug set to off in the Global Configuration.

the problem is if you really are now are VM3 then this check 

if(JVM_VERSION<3){

is failing (it shouldn't - your version isn't less than 3)  and therefore giving the notices .. so even though they are only notices I assume your BE admin menu for VM doesn't work?

if that is the case one assumes this is a bug? - maybe JVM_VERSION isn't defined in the module?

to test try at the top of administrator\modules\mod_vmmenu\tmpl\default.php

define( 'JVM_VERSION', '3' );

or just comment out the <3 part

/*if(JVM_VERSION<3){
      $vmMenu='<ul id="menu" >';
      $vmMenu.='<li class="node '.$class.'"><a href="'.$vmComponentItems->link.'">'.$vmComponentItems->text.'</a>';//LINE 41
   } else{*/
      $vmMenu='<ul id="menu" class="nav '.$class.'" >';
      $vmMenu.='<li class="dropdown" ><a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">'.$vmComponentItems->text.'<span class="caret"></span></a>';
//   }
