This is a great guide and it has helped tremendously for the shop, flypage etc.
I am currently working on the checkout process, registration page and cart.
Are you planning to include this into your guide as well? Can you shed some light one where I could change the layout of the registration page?
Thx

The Registration Page is a little different in that it doesn't use a template file.  Some of the display is controlled by the script:

administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/checkout_register_form.php

Within that script, most of the page is outputted via this statement:

Code: [Select]

ps_userfield::listUserFields( $fields, $skip_fields );
"ps_userfield" is a core class file located at:

administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_userfield.php

You can control how this core class outputs fields by going to:
Admin->Configuration->Manage User Fields

Thanks Mark for a great guide.
I just stumbled across this whilst trying to solve an issue I am having with additional <br> added to vmMainPage, trying to find which file this is called from, will be starting a new thread for support.

Have been playing with VM for over a month now and struggled on certain aspects, even using the developers manual.
There are refernces to content to/from the dev manual, not sure which came first, but this should certainly be added to it.

It may also be worth including that the debug option can be turned on within VirtueMart > Admin > Configuration > Global Tab > Core Settings > Debug
Ones this is turned on, handy little information icons appear next to each element within VM that show where it is generetad and at the bottom of the page is an additional table containing further information.

Hi
This is a Great layout guide! this has been include on the virtuemart wiki yet.

The joomla! wiki cover joomla development topics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla

The virtuemart wiki has no development info

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtueMart

and the virtuemart manual
http://virtuemart.net/documentation/User_Manual/index.html
will only be update when some pay  $1500  for a revision,
last update was 2 years ago in 2008


Think about how much easier it would be to share this info and for people to to be able to update if it was on a wiki.
