Hello !

Congrats for this new "cool" diamond. Seems a lot to LightMart tho, not very much of a change (Main page, main menu, left menu, product view almost the same). I can see the new effect in category view tho, which is pretty nice.

However, i guess, this again is a template that has to be used as it is, right? It cant be used as a VM2 template like Puremart in a some other Joomla Template, right?

In this case, is there any news about any new theme for VM2, like puremart?

Keep up the good work ! ;D Give us some more eye catching css3/J-avascript effects !! And please give us VM2 Theeeeemes !!!

Hi Alexandros, thanks for your feedbacks. Much appreciated.

Consider; LightMart is IPhone 4 and the CoolMart is the iPhone 4S. They might look the same but CoolMart is the advanced version of LightMart.

And yes you are right. about the usage. Just like LightMArt, CoolMart can't be used as "VM Template" unlike PureMart. Theoretically those two templates can be used as VM Template and can be integrated to any joomla template, but practically it is not possible. Because it is not that simple as it sounds like. I would need to write an 20-30 pages tutorial PDF to achieve it ;) and still things wouldn't look as good as expected.

At first, CoolMArt was going to be VM Template only (like PureMArt) then somehow it became a Joomla+Virtuemart Template bundle. Let's see how it goes.

On the other hand (honestly) developing Virtuemart Template is much much easier than developing a Joomla+Virtuemart Template, because we don't need to care about a lot of things, simply because those are already taken care by the Joomla Template ;)

But here comes the good news. The new VM Template is on the way. Basically the new VM Template will be the combination of LightMart and CoolMart, it will have more than 100 backend parameters for easy-customizations and have multiple page layouts to let you choose one of them. I am sure it will be ready in a week.

Thanks for the answer,

Great news as well ! Can't wait for the new VM2 template.

Ok, i understand that LightMart and Coolmart are hardcoded to be used as standalone Joomla/VM2 template.

However, VM2 templates/themes allow us to be more FLEXIBLE !! Give us the flexibility !! ;>

hmm.

Yes you are correct about the flexibility on VM Templates. There are billions of joomla Template on the web, or even you can create one from the beez_5 and then get the theme from us and complete the ecommerce website project ;)

I am sure this is why PureMart has always been our best-selling product. I totally agree with you on this.

No worry, it is on the way and it will be much cooler than PureMart with new unique features. I am working day/night. It is 6:20 in the morning and i am still up ;)
