Pulling my hair out

[neilblake]

I'm a complete beginner with VM2 running on J1.7

Is there a manual anywhere as I have a great looking site but am really struggling when it comes to taking payments and shipping. I've searched the forum for hours and have come up with no answers.

Please someone help.

Thanx.

Hi. Thanks for that.

I've managed to complete this page
http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Plugin_system

and I can see the results within VirtueMart. However these pages are a bit beyond me
http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Payment_Plugins
http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Shipper_Plugins

I'm a fast learner so is there a dummies guide for these pages too?

My site looks great so just need to complete payment and shipping process to be a happy chap.

Massive thanks.

Those pages are for plugin developers. Are you planning to develop some plugins?

[Halo]

neilblake,

you said you are a beginner.

Neverheless, for shipment process you should keyin the shipping rate either manually through front-end or through DB SQL dump. For me, I dump cause lot faster (I got 8K shipping rates for my shipment!).

There are 2 mandatory tables you should update simultaneously:

• jos_virtuemart_shipmentmethods.sql
• jos_virtuemart_shipmentmethods_en_gb.sql

Optionally, you can also update 'jos_virtuemart_shipmentmethod_shoppergroups.sql' to complete the shipment process
