Blank page after upgrade

[isabeaux]

Hi, I'm quite stumped here.

I'm in the process of going from J2.5 to J3.

I have upgraded all to J2.5.28 and VM 2.6.14. Until this everything was OK, or so I thought. I tested all the functions and all seemed fine so I updated my live site.

I noticed now however that, if a user is NOT logged in, they can't check out, the checkout button is dead. In looking at the page code I noticed the button is outside the form 

Code Select Expand

<div class="price-summary">
<div class="spacer">
<div class="product-subtotal">
<div class="price-type">Product prices result: </div>
<div class="price-amount">$5.55</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>











<div class="checkout-button-area">
<button name="checkout" id="checkoutFormSubmit" class="btn-big-green"  ><span>Check Out Now</span></button> </div>


<form method="post" id="checkoutForm" name="checkoutForm" action="/index.php/shop/cart/checkout">
<input type='hidden' name='task' value='checkout'/>
<input type='hidden' name='option' value='com_virtuemart'/>
<input type='hidden' name='view' value='cart'/>
</form>

</div>
</div>

This unfortunately is on my live site since when I tested I was logged in and missed it, so I've had to take the shop offline for the time being.

As I couldn't find the issue, in my development server I tried to install VM 3.0.4.

It did not go well. I followed instructions here http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/installation-migration-upgrade/198-upgrade-virtuemart-2-to-virtuemart-3.html

What happens is the following:
In the back end I get a fully blank page if I click on Orders, Products, Categories... Other pages like shop, config, tools, etc are ok.
In the front end the main /shop page is totally blank, as are categories. Product pages show but can't add to cart, I get an error "No Shipment Method Configured/No payment Method Configured", though I can't get to those pages in the back end.

I've tried "Remove old vm2 inherited customfields" and "Update vm2 order format of customfields to vm3 format" in the Tools section (after enabling them).

Still coming up blank.

As far as I can see there's nothing incompatible with what I'm using.

So I have 2 pressing problems:
1- I'd like to fix the checkout button on me live site ASAP, even if it's a dirty hack, so I can open it up again.
2- I'd like to get version 3.0.4 working on my dev server. If I have to wait for that until I get to J3.3, it's not too much of a problem.

Extensions being used:
- Shopilicious
- st42 download 2.4.4.3

would start here->  Shopilicious

if you haven't upgraded 1st to the 2.6.14 version  and then if available a vm3 version I can see loads of problems

VM3 templates are different from VM2 - a very "invasive" template like Shopilicious must be the latest version

Try setting your template to Beez(J2.5) to get the thing working then contact Shopilicious for latest version/s

Hi,

Yes, I had updated first to VM 2.6.14, and it does seem that Shopilicious is the culprit. Apparently if there's no address, for some reason it doesn't ask for it and hence won't go any further. I had version 1.0.8 and 1.0.9 is the latest, but not worth buying the upgrade since I'm moving to v3

I got it to work by deleting the template folders for the checkout. So I still have the nice design of Shopilicious for the shop, except the checkout, which is not terrible.

This however is a temporary fix, as I will have to find a template for J3 & VM3

Thank you,
Tomás

if it is only the cart and everything else works just restyle the cart template
