VM 2.0.20b and Joomla 2.5.11 Upgraded working site with PureMart. Upgraded to Responsive Joomla template and VM Lightmart.

Can only get list (no grid) and no zoom affect and only 1 item per row. I obviously have done something very basic wrong but can't find it. See attachment settings. Installation one-by-one.

Did you insall LightMart as a stand alone template etc (i.e. the one by one approach?)

Cheers

p.s. urls to your site are always useful

Method 2 - One-By-One approach.

[url=http://http://50.6.217.65/designer_fashion_jewelry/index.php]http://50.6.217.65/designer_fashion_jewelry/index.php[/url]

All sorts of weirdness

but I don't see any files being loaded from


ROOT/templates/rt_afterburner2/html/com_virtuemart
is the template even in there?

Only thing in com_virtuemart referenced above is folder: virtuemart. Inside it is: default.php

One-byOne zip folder contained:
mod_flexible_3d_slider (installed)
mod_vm_flexible_fancy_slider
mod_vm2_cart (installed)
plg_flexibleTemplate (installed)
plg_vm2_cart (installed)
tmp_flexible_lightmart.zip

tmp_flexible_lightmart.zip installed but not made active and still nothing more in ROOT/templates/rt_afterburner2/html/com_virtuemart except for default.php

What else should be in the referenced folder?

the whole template for VM - I assume what is in tmp_flexible_lightmart.zip

I have restored the website to pre-LightMart condition. Using standard Virtuemart2 and it is working. But I want the look of LightMart.

I then re-downloaded LightMart and re-installed everything ONE-BY-ONE. Nothing in your One-By-One installation procedure places anything into the folder you referenced: ROOT/templates/rt_afterburner2/html/com_virtuemart

So, if the tmp_flexible_lightmart contents should be there, I unpacked it and uploaded it into ROOT/templates/rt_afterburner2/html/com_virtuemart.

Still it does't work. Same result as before. It looks terrible. Category view: studio730.com/designer_fashion_jewelry_responsive/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=categories&virtuemart_category_id=0&Itemid=138

product view: studio730.com/designer_fashion_jewelry_responsive/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=752&virtuemart_category_id=77&Itemid=138

Also, in Joomla template manager, the Flexible Lightmart template which I am not using, produces "Save Failed" when username and order number is entered. And, when Check for Updates is clicked, a 404 error is presented.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your patience .. have handed this to the development team

Hi,

First of all, i should make things clear;

• LightMart is a Joomla Template (with Virtuemart Theme integrated).
• PureMart is a Virtuemart Template (Virtuemart Theme only).

So, you can't use LightMart along with your existing joomla template, because LightMart is already a Joomla Template. Joomla can have only 1 template at a time.

LightMart can be installed through "Extensions Manager" because it is a joomla template. Don't try to upload any files to anywhere manually. If you perform the one-by one method, then you have to install all the ZIP files (by following the TUTORIAL) and then select the "LightMart" as your "default" template through (joomla backend) Template Manager. Then you will start using LightMart in your joomla but you would lose your current joomla template (which is rt_afterburner2 in your case).

On the other hand, PureMart is a Virtuemart Theme, and can be integrated to any joomla template by uploading the necessary files toWhich i guess you are already familiar with that.

If you are getting SAVE FAILED when you try to save the "username" and "order-id" for LightMart Joomla Template, then try to use a different browser (IE, SAFARI or CHROME). it is a known and browser related issue. Hopefully this problem will be solved soon in the next version. The "check update" link was supposed to go to this page: www.flexiblewebdesign.com/forum-joomla-virtuemart-template-lightmart-support/969-request-lightmart-update

Regards.

That explains it. Looks like I can use it by assigning my Joomla template to the pages I want my template to control and assign LightMart template to everything else.

Yes, hopefully this solution works for you..
