Which Installs to use?

[MarkClarkeLondon]

Hi

New user here - so please excuse me while I explore

Quick questions - Which is the best version of VirtueMart to install - in terms of stability and compatibility and - a little confused here - I need to install Joomla, the latest version appears to be 1.7, do I ignore this and go for 1.5 as per the Virtuemart FAQ?

Thanks

If you need the store set up in the next few weeks use Joomla 1.5.23 with VirtueMart 1.1.9

If you are not in a hurry and have plenty of experience with Joomla and php/debugging then try Joomla 1.7 and the next VM2RC release (so some more of the current bugs are already squished).  Shipping and payment modules for VM2 are minimal at the moment, so those could hold you up as well.

Joomla 1.7 is only a short term release and will be replaced by Joomla 2.5 in January. Joomla 1.5.will be supported until the end of April approx.

Magic - Thank you

I've just started looking at VirtueMart after a bad experience with Volusion, so am treading carefully at the moment

It's sad that this is the most current information I can find on a VM2 release after an hour of looking through the forums.
