New pre subrelease VirtueMart 2.0.3. UPDATE I

[freeme]

J2.5.3
VM 2.0.3.E

I have defined two payment methods: 1) Standard Payment (Bank Transfer) 2) PayPal and two different shipping methods.

When the user is still anonymous, then in the shopping cart:

Shipping:   
no selected shipping method is shown yet --> WHICH IS CORRECT

Payment:   
PayPal is already pre-selected ---> WHICH IS WRONG! The payment alternative can then be selected at the checkout.
But at this stage, nothing should be shown, as it also gives the user the impression that there is only Paypal available.

Is this a bug?

#A)  the Final price is also strange :S
i write "5" or "5.0" and always get this value: "4.999999" not the 5 € .. if someone want to pay 4.99 will pay 5 ? its the same value :S

This is too bad.. now to get Product Final price we cant insert only the field "Value" € and hit "Save & Close"... this option doesnt work!

#B) To Calculate the costprice and get the final price now we need to hit the 'check box' .... and then we could Save & Close.....
Why not detect if user click to change the value (edit/update) on the form field of Product Final price and automatic hit that check box ... for users Save the result without losing their time again and see that the price wasnt updated? in Vm1 this worked :/
seems this is like the file/image upload process too..
if we need to upload any file/image and Dont hit the upload button (2nd step no automatic.. of course we want to upload or not we were going to call the file on our disk) .. the file doesnt upload .. and we need to go back again and do all the job twice..   x|

it's not possible to push and apply the code (javascript or something else) from VM1 and apply that in this areas of VM2 that we need to have a more userfriendly system?! please :/

#C) in Product Details the Option product-short-description doesnt Work  (+/- solved .. not in vm default template configuration)... 

You could test it by put some text like... "Hello World ... Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. etc.. etc... etc................."

there is no limit on short description words ... short could become larger description too in this default way (\components\com_virtuemart\views\productdetails\tmpl\default.php):

Code Select Expand

       <div class="product-short-description">
    <?php
    /** @todo Test if content plugins modify the product description */
    echo nl2br($this->product->product_s_desc);
    ?>
        </div>

UPDATE Solution: gived by BanquetTables.pro

Code Select Expand

<?php echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord($this->product->product_s_desc, 40, '...') ?>
<?php } ?>    Tks Banquet!!!

#D)
Its (or it will be) possible to call the Manufacturer Logo ( manufacturerImage of that produtc) in Product Details?

<img src="/images/stories/virtuemart/manufacturer/resized/<?php echo ps_product::get_mf_full_image( $product_id );?>"> ? like in vm1 ?

#E)
There is no (re) Captcha integration in form of the "Ask a question link" ...

tks

Hi, does somebody know if such a funtional will be added in the new version of vm2 "comparison of goods and favourite products"?Senks

*The larger shopping cart calculations - will not update the number of items nor the cost correctly - purchase a few items and test changing the amounts. ( chrome, explorer, firefox)
*If I purchase a product and confirm I get a good email -  both buyer and vendor
If I add a comment the vendor then receives a message "COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_MAIL_VENDOR_SHOPPER_QUESTION"  at the top of his invoice - there is no message contained in the email. The buyer gets his/her own message .
*I still see the line in the receipt or invoice email that has the price set in the wrong line - the actual price number needs to be one line above?
Orders and invoices _ (back end ) fixed -looks good to me.

[lipes]

#F) I've configure The minimum purchase value to 10,00 €.
In my cart I add 2 test products with the value of 5,00 €
Total:   1,87 € (tax)   10,00 € (Total)

So this option dont work for me with the minimum purchase value. This is for final Price ?!?? I only work with final price :/

#G) I've done one update in my contact test account.. I hit the save button and i get this msgs:
vmError: TableVendors The given Vendor name already exists.
vmError: VmTableData Sef Alias in record is missing ! Can't save the record with no Sef Alias.
vmError: store vendor

I dont know if the users will see the same (when they do updates/changes)... this is normal ?

Does Child / Parent relationships work in this version. As of 2 days ago I heard that VM2 still doesn't work for them. For example, if my site sells shoes and I want the customer to be able to choose a size 8.

This works in the last version quite nice, imho. Make a fresh install, use the sample data and edit the Hand Shovel as example.

I've updated to the latest version (I) But still the custom text input is broken. It is looking for /plugins/vmcustom/textinput/textinput/tmpl/default.php but that file doesnt exist.

I take a look on it today.

Please read, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point . Scroll down and read the chapter "Accuracy problems".

#B) To Calculate the costprice and get the final price now we need to hit the 'check box' .... and then we could Save & Close.....

I do not understand your problems here. There is no upload button for the media. You can directly enter your costprice, or calculate it with the check, or use the override with another check. So what is the problem with it? The Js sounds interesting on the first view, but I think it will also lead to confusion

#D)
Its (or it will be) possible to call the Manufacturer Logo ( manufacturerImage of that produtc) in Product Details?

You can do that already, the command is always the same, regardless the object is a vendor, manufacturer, category, or product.

#F) I've configure The minimum purchase value to 10,00 €.
In my cart I add 2 test products with the value of 5,00 €
Total:   1,87 € (tax)   10,00 € (Total)

So this option dont work for me with the minimum purchase value. This is for final Price ?!?? I only work with final price :/

The option is for the whole cart, not for a single product. Or better said, per vendor.


#G) I've done one update in my contact test account.. I hit the save button and i get this msgs:
vmError: TableVendors The given Vendor name already exists.
vmError: VmTableData Sef Alias in record is missing ! Can't save the record with no Sef Alias.
vmError: store vendor
[/quote]
imho this happens only to vendors using the FE. Is not really normal, but should not interfere. It is meant for multivendor later.

Some keys have been removed only in the english languages files. I have added them again.

Your payment is preselected if u already made an order. But If u disconnect and connect again, then it is not preselected. And this is correct.

Hello, i just installed a fresh copy of Joomla 2.5.4 and Virtuemart 2.0.3I and i keep seeing the message about me having to create a sales path.
I did that, and the message still exists, i entered the value in the configuration/templates/sales path as "vmfiles/".

Are product relations not implemented? There is a table in the VM 2 database called #_virtuemart_product_relations. How can I fill the table while entering products. I do not understand how VM 2 creates related products or does it simply not work until now?

OK Alatak - so that was caused due to my previous testing, now I understand. That means, the "fresh" user will not have something preselected, unless he already made a purchase before... Good to know - thx for letting me know.

Hello!

I found two small annoying bugs in VmMediaHandler. I don't know if this is the right place to post them.
I'm using VM 2.0.3.I
in function getThumbUrl()  there is $this->file_name instead of $this->file_name_thumb
(line 280, administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/mediahandler.php)
in function getThumbPath() there is $this->file_url_folder instead of $this->file_url_folder_thumb
(line 286, administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/mediahandler.php)

Milbo: Hi, good afternoon.
A: Humm.. ok ok .. its like a 'pi' problem 3.14............... "it never ends".. ok lol!

B: I was just giving a suggestion.

Indicated that it seemed identical to the "file/image upload process" like i'd write.
The suggestion was when users click on that 'green area' (image above).. that some script will do automatic the confirmation without people lose their work or  pressing that buttons/radiobut/checkbox to confirm (again) what we already want to do/add/update (like in VM1).

D: i was again giving a suggestion for the manufacturer logo be by default in template
I'm trying to find that solution, but it's complicated..

UPDATE: SOLUTION to ADD MANUFACTURER LOGO in Products template:
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=95818.msg333197#msg333197

E: Will we have Catpcha in "Ask a question" link? cant find your answer to this question :/

F: But in my whole cart i only have this 2 products (5€ + 5€)..
when i click "Do the checkout Now" button and then appears one system message saying:
"The minimum purchase value is 10,00 €."
But this is strange because in Total is already 10€!!! lol o_O it's a crazy thing!!

G: ok!

H) (new) -> Every time that I add a new Manufacturer Logo (upload an image) in the 'Description' Tab -> Manufacturer category Name field.. the VM add (without my permission) one Manufacturer category name .. The worst of all is that we cant Delete that or Add multiple categories names to that manufacturer brand ...

I) (new) -> I dont understand whats happening with the 'Shopper Fields' i cannot change the order, the pagination doesnt work, the arrows dont worl, if i click on 'reorder' the new order doesnt save because it apears one popup saying: "You cannor change the order of items, as an item in the list is Check Out" .. i uncheck all box's but when hit 'save' again VM automatic check same box again with the same popup msg ... argh
