logins don't work

but the point of BUYING a commercial template like GK is that support comes with it.. that's why you handed them your money
Why are u not asking Gavik why their template doesn't work?

I have a lifetime template membership (all templates new and archive included) with Gavick which does not include support but I think this problem lies with the VM mod, not in the template. If you can't help then I'm sorry to bother you - I thought this was a forum to learn from. I need some answers to the issue and all you guys do is just write back quick brief answers that leave a lot of questions. I've been designing with Joomla for 7 years but I'm not a professional coder so I just need a little extra instructions to get things accomplished and I don't mind getting into the coding process to gain a better understanding of how to handle problems myself. So if are you going to help with this issue then here is the credentials:

I think you are being quite unrealistic in the level of help you expect...

No one on here gets paid to answer these questions - it is all done in our free time..

As you say you have been building sites for 7 years it seems unlikely you do this out of the kindness of your heart.. one assumes you bill the client at the end of it..

You have a commercial template with a layout issue .. you say Gavik provides no support.. pfffff -- what is that for customer respect?

But to expect someone to spend the time to find and fix your issue ( it can only be a missing or over-ridden float somewhere) - hmmm

Must try this the next time the car needs fixing ..   ;)

have you even tried to add the css below or learnt to use Firebug to find where the problem is?

Sometimes I get to the point where I do have to pay independent guys like you to help me out. I don't mind paying for some help because as a web designer I'd rather not spend to much time tweaking up codes. If you can help me give me a quote and I'll be glad to hire you - and probably will need your help later down the road too. Thanks

I have been designing and building sites since 1996. I have been building with Joomla for around 7-8 years and yes, to make money. I don't expect anything for free and obviously K2's Virturmart is free so I can't expect them to jump to my assistance with support or even on the forum but this is just frustrating because it seems like each and every component, module, etc that I purchase to enhance the site has some issues which set my work back and my clients loose confidence and honestly I feel the same way - even most (paid) modules, plugins, etc... create incompatibility issues which need quirky code tweaks to get them working correctly. This is quite frustrating to say the least. I'm working on this now for around 5 weeks to get this stupid VM Slider to do it's job. Anyway, I appreciate your help.

To fix your problem I doubt would take very much time at all - I assume it is just floats
Your welcome to email me if you want to take it further..

Re extensions - VM is provided free as is .. if e.g. you d/L the complete install you will see that everything works out of the box.

It is therefore incumbent on 3rd party ext dev's to try to make their work as compatible and bug free as possible AND having accepted the clients money to support their extensions. Of course it is reasonable to put some sort of time or major version change limit on this - but VM3 is freshly born...

To see a template dev selling templates THEN wanting a separate fee to support them I find quite .. well - can't find the word... it is certainly not the way I work...

Hi heisedesign,
In your name you have design.  And don't know how to change a css rule?
Sorry but this have nothing to do with VM, Joomla. But HTML & CSS.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp for a little tuto.

saviB

1. Navigate to components/com_virtuemart/assets/
2. Copy (download - whatever) the file: vm-ltr-site.css
3. Navigate to templates/whatever template you are using/css
4. Paste the file you copied

This now overrides VM styles. In that file, just go to the very bottom (CSS is read top to bottom) and add:

.browse-view .row .product .spacer, .related-products-view .row .product .spacer {
  float:left;
}

If it doesn't work - make it by adding !Important;

.browse-view .row .product .spacer, .related-products-view .row .product .spacer {
  float:left!Important;
}

Also be aware that the per row section i the Configuration of the VM admin does not override the same section of each category. So if you have products per row set to 3 in Configuration, but your product category is set to 1 - it will only show one.

Hope that helps.
