A simple question
I have a Joomla 2.5 with VirtueMart 2.0 installed.
This website has been upgraded from Joomla 1.5, and my migration process was done "manually" (database scripts which filled the new Virtuemart tables from old ones)
I am unable to add a media file to a product, which is supposed to be a very simple function
I go to the media file manager for the product and click the "New" link
The media file is uploaded & created, but it is not linked to the product
Thanks
If you are using VM2.0 or above Then you can find a table name with #__virtuemart_product_medias In this table VM keeping product id and media id.
You will get all the images that assigned with a product from this table.
Also from the product details tab in admin you can choose multiple images for a single product.
If you are upgraded keep a new version separate and compare and update to your upgrading site.
Hope it will helps..

How can we get Magento default Multiple mage upload functionality in system configuration section ?
Currently I am using adminhtml/system_config_backend_image backend model for single image upload. But I need multiple image functionality same as available in edit product section.
You can create new product attribute with type Media Image and scope Global.
It will appear within Images tab when you edit product.
This is a Virtuemart specific question, and I have also posted this question on the official Virtuemart forum, but I have not yet had any replies. This is why I post my question here also, hoping someone might know the answer.
I´m using Virtuemart v.2.0.26d
It seems that when a customer creates a new profile via the Virtuemart registration form or via order creation then the user´s email is stored as Joomla user "Full Name"
Instead I would like it to store Virtuemart first name + last name as Joomla "Full Name"
Does anyone know how to accomplish this or which file I need to look into to solve this problem?
If you want to grab vendors name(see the table names below) to joomla full name the just fetch the vendor name and add it to '_users' table name and username are the needed column there. (joomla 2.5)
Or in opposite case,
Dont know about VM 2.0 but in VM 2.6 while a user uploads a product at table
'_virtuemart_vendors_en_gb' and '_virtuemart_vendors' stores data about product uploader.So either make a column there and find out the registration functionality add the full username there or at update the vendor_name in '_virtuemart_vendors' and vendor_store_name in '_virtuemart_vendors_en_gb'.
Thanks
I am using latest magento 1.7.0.2.
I have two different stores in my site.
customer from first store should not be able to login to second store.
So,Want to set up store wise login for customers.How to set ?please help.
Unfortunately Magento only allows you to set "customer sharing" across the global and website scopes. The (maybe not so simple) solution would be to move your other store to a separate website instead of a separate store.

I have to build a website for a mobile store. They want to list their products but don't want to start selling yet. I have done a lot of website with Joomla and Virtuemart.
This time I want to use Magento as they use Lightspeed a POS that offers integration with Magento community edition.
My question is can I simply use Magento as a CMS to only display products and a few static pages like about us etc. I went through stackoverflow and found that some members have recommended some good blog integrations for magento so that part is solved(Thanks :-) ).
I know I can use wordpress as a blog with magento.
I rephrase....Can I use it to simply display products!
If Yes then please let me know if I am doing it for the right reason.
the reason are:
Adding products and product information becomes very easy in a
shopping cart(But in a CMS like Joomla each page has to be literally "designed" or I will have to use CCK editor. It still
becomes difficult for the client to update products IMO)
It comes with built in plugins to show related/featured products
etc. with a click on a button or options in the backend while client
simply puts the appropriate tags(With a CMS have to use a plugin or
module in Joomla that has to be set to show in the particular pages)
Automatic display of images etc is easier in Magento in comparison
to a CMS like Joomla where I will have to use a plugin or a gallery
that is set to show inside an article
The buy/add to cart button can easily be disabled and a "more info"
button can be added that will send an email to the client. They get
the exact product code the customer is asking for(Doing that in
Joomla would require a lot of extra stuff like adding codes or use
an advanced contact form with a tag to be entered for each page)
Last but not the least when client is ready to go online it can
easily be converted
Does Magento have two display? One is simply a catalog and the other a store. I have seen that in some stores online(not necessarily using magento) I am assuming either they created a website with the products pages first and then added a store later.
But in many cases it looks like a part of the Shopping application.(i just can't seem to remember which one they were using now).
If Magento allows that then I think my problem is solved. I simply use the "catalog option" and when the client is ready for the store I simply pull the products using a extension from their POS software.
Thank you for taking the time to read/answer.
Using Magento as a catalog only without selling the items is pretty straightforward. The easiest thing to do is just to use the catalog category lists to list the products and just make sure the "order" button is not visible.
You can do this simply by removing it from the product detail template (and the list/grid template in case they have it).
Or you could (I think) set all products to 'out of stock' this will automatically remove the 'order' button.
If you want to be thorough you should edit the cartControllers's addAction to disable adding products to the cart.
If you are going to combine Magento with Wordpress, Fishpig has developed a plugin with which you can use shortcode within Wordpress blogposts or/and pages to display products.
More info about that can be found here: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/shortcodes.html
System > Configuration > Advanced > Advanced
Disable the modules you don't want to use.
For example, if you wanted to use Magento as catalog only then disable sales module.
Hope this works for you!
