[citroen1968]

Virtuemart and joomla 2.5 beta  use xampp 1.7.7 php 5.3.8

can not install VM2  into joomla2.5

got these message JModel: :getName() : can not get the  classname or parsen.

May be that is why I have this problem after upgrading from Joomla 1.73 to Joomla 2.5Beta1:
I have Virtuemart 2.0 and Joomla 2.5beta1. I get this errors:
Table class vendorTableVendor_medias not found in file.
Table class mediaTableMedias not found in file.
Table class categoryTableCategories not found in file.
Table class productTableProducts not found in file.
Table class userTableVmusers not found in file.

J2.5 beta uses the latest joomla platform and also has new core features. VM is for j1.5/1.7. Don't try to crossbreed them.

Let vm-dev team polish vm2.0 and leave j2.5 for future (till Jan-10 for example )

This is a complete wrong statement. This is a VM installer error. VM 2.0 should run flaweless normally on Joomla 2.5. Beta1. Get the same errors and these are non Joomla related

Hi,
Joomla 2.5 is not supported for now.
Plz wait ...

Yes, but no

VM2.0 installer is for j1.7.

For example, look at "libraries\joomla\application\component\model.php":

for j1.7 - public function getTable($name = '', $prefix = 'Table', $options = array())
for j2.5 - public function getTable($name = '', $prefix = '', $options = array())

This way in 2.5, when install script calls "$langTable = $this->getTable($table)", it raises error ( trying to get class name in function getName() ).

Add argument in administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers\tableupdater.php (public_function_createLanguageTables and private_function_portLanguageFields):

$langTable = $this->getTable($table, 'Table')
instead of
$langTable = $this->getTable($table)

and you will get successful installation (with some other bugs, yes ).

Nevertheless, of course VM will not work anyway: there is no admin menu etc.

P.S. By the way, a strange string was found in script.virtuemart.php:
$updater->portOldLanguageToNewTables((array)$lang)
