Description
This group is for Virtuemart users, supporters, team-members, 3rd party developers or anybody else who is interested in Virtuemart.
Announcements
The VirtueMart Developer Team has published VirtueMart 1.1.7 to fix a security issue. All VirtueMart users are urged to upgrade to this new version as soon as possible.
Shortly after VM 1.1.7 had been released, another security problem was reported and we immediately released a patch (VM 1.1.7a), which you can upload and apply using the VirtueMart Updater.
Read more: Security Bulletin 2011-02-01, Security Bulletin 2011-02-18.
Discussions
good news, thanks for the VM team!
Could probably use Community Builder with the CB -> VM Sync plugin
@Fred:
i didn't do anything about 1.5! In fact, i am now totally focused on maintaining 1.1.x series so that the rest of the team can go on with 1.5. I will report your comments to the team.
I'll contact you privately about joining the 1.5 testing and development effort. Thank you!
P.S. i am project manager: you can see the whole team structure at http://dev.virtuemart.net/redmine/projects/virtuemart
+1 for initiatives like VMX (though his latest site postings sound bitter and unclear regarding the future of a VMX & VM collaboration).
Also positive, the initiative to share the sponsorship of a new feature between the members of a subscribing community.
"How all this will play together": IMHO, a central promoter of the package, taking charge of the adaptation of various members contributions into a single stream. Well, this is more ore less what they did achieve at CRELoaded (OSC fork).
The "club", as the name suggests, sounds a bit too closed a community to hope for large improvements (see the kind of add-on LaSalle is offering? Not so stunning, right?).

Setup the new site in a sub directory, with a new db etc. Then install the below component into the new site.
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/3895
In the config, put in the connection details to the old database.
Then choose everything you want to export and press "Start Migration", and hey presto the entire site is done :)
The success of a shop has a lot more to do with how it is managed and designed than the product being sold to a large extent. Sure, there are some products that are going to be very hard to sell online but in general if you drive enough traffic to a site that is easy for the user to make a purchase, then they are going to sell some product. I built one site that sells very popular fitness products that doesn't do very well and another that sells car polish products that has 4-5 orders daily. Guess which one is actively marketing their website?

I'm facing server issues with a virtuemart shop running 28K products.
Any tips to optimize the script would be appreciated.

Brent Friar on Sunday, 27 March 2011 22:38What kind of hosting account are you using? Often, site performance issues have a lot more to do with crappy hosting than VM. If you are on a $5/month shared hosting account, you should consider upgrading your account before spending a lot of time working on VM.
You can also turn on debugging to see where the slow downs are if you have good hosting.
Gabriel Landaeta on Tuesday, 29 March 2011 00:54as brent said you must first check if a better webhost can help you because that is a huge store
Marc Kamphuis on Tuesday, 29 March 2011 01:08Gabriel,
Thanks for the feedback.
The website is hosted at Rochen on a VPS, so this should not be the issue.
I read that the shop_browse_queries are not written very efficiëntly.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to have 2 joomla instalations with the same VirtueMart database, and when user add to cart on domain1 and have done with buying, click on [checkout button] which redirect him with all cart to domain2 where is the rest of checkout process?
Brent Friar on Thursday, 24 February 2011 12:34
Brent Friar on Thursday, 24 February 2011 12:34It's possible but you would have to change a lot of code to make it work. The changes necessary to achieve this would at a minimum change the core VM files so you would not be able to easily update. You may also have to change the core Joomla files to preserve the sessions, which again would make it much harder to update.
Lastly, I would think that such a system would result in a lot of abandoned carts. If I am trying to buy something on Amazon.com, when I check out I expect to still be on Amazon.com. If I see that I am now on ebay.com I am certainly not going to enter my credit card number until I find out why I am paying on another site.

Mootools 1.2 is not compatible with Mootools 1.1 so you can not mix and match.
Mootools 1.2 in Virtuemart 1.1.8 will only be activated if 'System - Mootools Upgrade' plugin in Joomla is published/enabled, in fact no mootools 1.2 is added to VM 1.1.8 only a check to see if 'System - Mootools Upgrade' is published if so it loads and uses Joomla mootools if not publish it will use default VM mootools.

Hey,
Will MooTools 1.2 compatibility break backwards compatibility with MooTools 1.1?
Thanks!

@jet:
yes, i already included files for MooTools 1.2 compatibility in SVN. I hope to build a BETA of 1.1.8 not very far in the future (some weeks) so everybody can test it.
