New stable Release Candidate 3.0.13 released, please anyone test.

[Milbo]

This is a very matured release. The maintrunk is already working with the new VMF system which should help to write a bridge for Wordpress. I decided to create a new branch and to release an interims version. It has any fixes and features enhancements until 5. January. Any bug or feature related code got backported.
You should in any case make a backup of your database. The tableupdater got strongly enhanced and should handle tables with broken or missing primary fields (fields with auto_increment) a lot better. But it is due the logic of enhancement just not 1 Million times tested as the old one.

Great imrovements
Some notices after few minutes in the BE:

• After installing the component I got this message: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key SQL=ALTER TABLE `vm3_virtuemart_calcs` DROP PRIMARY KEY;
• There is a pagination on the bottom of the list views but the limit box is missing: http://i.imgur.com/3MPvcx7.png
• If I filter the products on the BE and do something with a product (publish, delete, etc) the filter is empty again: http://screencast.com/t/Ve00bRnilItP
• The product list view displays 1 media if I haven't upload any
• Shipment methods and payment methods have List Order field but I can't reorder them from the list view only if I open the method and write an integer to the field. Maybe it should be reorderable with arrows like other lists
• Minor notice but the "noimage" image should be language independent. "Product Image unavailable" fits for English stores and also it's only for products but if I want to display category images, I get the "Product" noimage
• The ordingering fields in the category are a bit messy: http://i.imgur.com/J4wVMdK.png
• Most of my partners wants to see the final price in the product list views instead of the base price. I don't know if it is possible

But great job indeed

After installing the component I got this message: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key SQL=ALTER TABLE `vm3_virtuemart_calcs` DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Hmm, I worked exactly on that. It seems you had the case, that the system meant to drop the Primary, while an auto_increment is still defined. In case you did a db backup it would be very good to have your table definition, before the update.

There is a pagination on the bottom of the list views but the limit box is missing: http://i.imgur.com/3MPvcx7.png

I am sorry, but I do not understand, what you mean. The list box is missing in j3 in general. It is an unresolved bug.

If I filter the products on the BE and do something with a product (publish, delete, etc) the filter is empty again: http://screencast.com/t/Ve00bRnilItP

Interesting question if we want to keep the filter, after execution of a task.

The product list view displays 1 media if I haven't upload any

yeh and when you click on it, you end up in an empty list, thank you for this observation.

Most of my partners wants to see the final price in the product list views instead of the base price. I don't know if it is possible

That is definitly possible and a normal forum question (templating/price building)

After installing the component I got this message: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key SQL=ALTER TABLE `vm3_virtuemart_calcs` DROP PRIMARY KEY;

I'm getting the same issue on a number of an installation

[sandomatyas]

Thanks.
About the limit box:
If I check some core compontent list I can select how many items I want to display per page. Like Joomla plugin list: http://i.imgur.com/XDsDiGH.png
But there isn't a dropdown like this in VM

I found the problem. As I explained, I enhanced the tableupdater, but missed the case, when both fields are auto_increment and only the field definition itself has changed. In our case it is from smallint to int.

I added now that the dropPrimary is only executed if either the old, or the new definition has an auto_increment and the dropPrimary functions also removes the auto_increment from any field before. But if new and old definition have an autoincrement attribute, then the primary key is untouched.

Btw, uploaded the new version

Yepp, but that is atm not solved in general and not part of the feature/bug list.

This works in core joomla, in every section and in every component, you have it in the user list at top right, in the article manager etc and is working also in components for VM like CSVIpro or vmrewardpoints.

So yes is not solved in vm but no is not a bug in joomla and not missing there sorry.

[franayala]

This was reported and not fixed ages ago 

[Milbo]

It is for whatever reason not compatible with the old one and seen as minor problem. You can still change the general listing. It is not a new bug, nor part of the list, that is all what I said. So I was looking for a new problem. I  take a look for vm3.0.14. I think anyway it is more a template problem.

Btw, product listing should show now 0 media

[franayala]

template issue? we all use ISIS and this only fails in VM

?!?!?

[franayala]

and the button for reordering categories doesn't work either, you have to order them manually, in general every ordering function is not working

[Milbo]

?!?!?

I just checked it again. It is definitly a template issue! If you use the ISIS template, then it uses for the list footer an override function, which does NOT show the limitlist. Instead they show the limitlist on the top.

So we could provide overrides, which also have an additional display of the limitbox on top. Or we add the limitlist on top in general, but then the top box would be overwritten by the bottom box and we would need a js, else people complain that they change the topbox without result. Disabling, or displaying the box if it is joomla 3 would create problems on templates without the override and are not clean.

We could also use always the ISIS method, also in j2.5. It would mean that we have to change any layout, just because ISIS did an override. Somehow all of this is silly.

You can test this yourself, just disabling the override of the ISIS template /administrator/templates/isis/html/pagination.php

[Milbo]

I cannot confirm.

[sandomatyas]

it works for me
