Forget 1.7 and think about 1.8 compatible

You got the point! ;-) . But as long j1.7 is there, we try to stay compatible. ATM it is working.

If virtuemart works with Joomla 1.7 why does the download link say that it is only for 1.5x??

[Milbo]

Which download link says it is only for j1.5?

I am using J1.7 and VM 2.0 RC.
my problem is in the backend of vm2 the label says:
COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_LIST_LBL          - instead of Product List..
COM_VIRTUEMART_CATEGORY_LIST_LBL        - Category List
COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_MOD                    -Order and Customers
COM_VIRTUEMART_PAYMENT_METHOD_LIST_MNU   - aPayments and methods

I have had some problems like ariesrei mentions (labels not being correct) but in other parts of Joomla 1.7. They all had to do with non-translated strings. Could that be the case?

[Milbo]

The problem is that the language files for j1.7 are very strict. The reason is to improve speed and performance.

When there is only one typo the language file does not work and then you see the language keys and not the translation. When you have problems with other components then take a look on the wiki here dev.virtuemart.net and in the wiki of joomla to correct it. Most time it is not soo much to do.

I have problems making i work, when I try to publish a VM module i get only the following message:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /var/www/rittermann.org/cdl/libraries/joomla/plugin/plugin.php on line 102

What did I do wrong?

[Milbo]

This is a problem we had since yet only in j1.7 and did not had the time to address it yet. Sorry. since j1.6 we have adjust VM2 for every subversion and this takes a lot time. Should be done in the next subrelease.

Hello. I am wondering if vm2 for joomla 1.7 is gonna become stable in the next 3-4 weeks ? I am asking, because i want to build site on the newest version but i can't wait a lot of time. I am not pushing anyone,  i just want to know.. because i read in some website that vm2 will be enough stable to be used with joomla 1.7 bu the end of the year. If this is true i will absolutely use joomla 1.5 and vm 1.1x, because i can't wait log..

Regards

Where did you read that? Atm we are fighting only with the ACL of j1.7. So I think at august. In your case I would give vm2 and j1.5 a try.
