2 problem one about update and other one about fix with template

[don_pancho]

hi; I have tow problem:

I have bought a virtuemart template in template monster version 2.0.6
they suggest to me not to update to last version of VM because they say that template work for virtuemart 2.0.6 and not latest one. Do you thinks it is possible?

Other question; I am spanish so when I use spanish for site in main page there is one module who disappears, but in english version it is ok; what could happen? may be that if it doesn´t exit spanish transletion for module " new products" it goes to disappears?

thanks

Hi,

Sorry for hearing that that template monster does not update their templates.

Upgrade your custom templates: changes between versions: http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_content&id=416
Here you will find the changes from version 2.0.6 to version 2.0.14.

Also there is layoutchanges.zip files after 206 (exactly from your current version) that will show you exactly the areas that the code have been changed. Those are images comparing to previous versions will help you to update your template overrides easy.

http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/476/com_virtuemart.2.0.10_layout_changes.zip
http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/492/com_virtuemart.2.0.12_layout_changes.zip

---------

Also you could use a good editor (like notepad++) to compare the default templates from version 2.0.6 with the one that have been changed in version 2.0.14 and apply all the changes to your custom template.
Original Location of the template files in all versions that are updated to the current one is: joomla_folder/components/com_virtuemart/views/[view folder]/tmpl/*

be aware that the only files that need to be updated is located under joomla_folder/templates/your_joomla_template/html/com_virtuemart/[view  folder]/*    <--- This is your template overrides for vm2 and also here is the files from template monster that need to be updated

What you should do:

1. Full backup your site and especially your custom template overrides for VM under joomla_folder/templates/your_joomla_template/html/com_virtuemart
      -Tip: Use akeeba free edition to backup your site

2. Upgrade your VM to 2.0.14

3. Start applying template changes under above folder from version 2.0.8 to version 2.0.14. Each step check you template functionality.

Good luck with that.
