Is there a Virtuemart extension that makes it possible to go to the next product you want to edit so you do not need to go back to product overview page to pick the next one? Going through many products to be edited it would be great to quickly flick through them, but that seems to be impossible now. Ideas?
My kingdom for such a tool, but alas, to my knowledge there is no such tool. There IS, however, a workaround that I use - from the product page, I just right-click the link to edit it and choose "Open in New Window" and close the window when I'm done.
You can also get the URL in browser bar, take the id of product you are currently editing adding +1 to the id, to avoid opening more pages.
Remember to do this after saving, obviously
http://yourserver.com/ administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=product&task=edit&virtuemart_product_id[]=3615
and then you make
http://yourserver.com/ administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=product&task=edit&virtuemart_product_id[]=3616
and so on

I'm fairly new to Joomla, but I'm an experienced developer with a tendency to dive into the code a bit too quickly. Before I start doing that this time around, I'd like to know if there is a simple, proper way way to add a right side menu to the default template in Joomla. I'm using Joomla 2.5.
Bonus points for info on how to access and create menu types.
Before you start, the template would be the first thing I would install. If you're looking for free then it's going to be lie choosing a car, there are so many to choose from. If you like editing and styling, then you might want to consider the Yootheme Master Theme
As for the menu on the right hand side, you can create a new module, set the type to menu then assign a menu to it. I assume you already know how to create a menu via the Menu Manager ;)
Hope this helps
OK. I figured out how to do it without any external modules or a drop of code. These are the steps:
Go to extensions->module manager
Choose one of the menu module types (I choose 'Menu example')
Enable it
Choose position
scroll down, actually second page, choose position-6, which is Beez5 or Beez_20 top right.
Make sure the menu is enabled for all pages that you want it to be.
Save and close.
Simple as that.
You Can use the plugins for side menu:

In Joomla 1.5, I created an article. Before publishing it, I want to send a preview URL to my colleagues (they are not registered to Joomla).
I'm looking for something like adding task=preview to the URL and it would show the article.
It would be enough if the article would be normally published but would not be displayed on the main page in the latest news. I tried to set "Front Page" to "No" but without success.
How can I solve the problem?
Joomla! 1.5 doesn't have a feature like this and from the way it's built I'm not sure it's possible without modifying the core com_content files. You could try a search of the Joomla! Extension Directory to see if someone has implemented what you're after.
In the meantime if the article is turning up on the websites front page even when you've set it not to - then the front page must be using a Section/Category Blog page style rather than a Joomla Frontpage page. In this case you could find out which category is set to show on the menu item being used for the front page and then temporarily change your article to another that doesn't appear there.
Once you've got it in another Category you should be able to get a link to the article by doing a search from the front end (assuming you don't want to create a menu link).
try creating a new category called Preview and since that wouldn't have been assigned to any pages yet, it should not appear. If you have trouble finding the article then, you could temporarily publish it either on the home page or somewhere in the menu. Then when you have found and copied the url, you can remove the article from the home page or menu or wherever you temporarily have it appear.
If you should ever want several 'preview' articles appearing on one page, create a new menu item, assign it to the Preview category you made, and in System Parameters, click on Show Title: 'No' so it doesn't appear in the menu. I don't know about what shows up in Google for example so if it's sensitive data I can't say it won't show in search engines, it probably will.
It probably appears on the Front Page because as you say it's part of the 'latest news' module. You could also try removing it from the module feed, but a new category is what I'd do.

I just selected Section: "Uncategorised" and the article went out from the latest news. Hope it's not accessible any other way in the current setup (there is no search function hopefully). It's not a cleanest solution, but it seems to work.
I'm almost positive this topic has been addressed somewhere because my question feels so rudimentary. That said, I haven't had any luck searching, so here's the question:
I am using VM to sell ONE item only (digital download), and the default "Add to Cart" then "View Cart" 2-step process is cumbersome. What I want is the ability to change "Add to Cart" to a button that says "Purchase" (I don't need help here) and change the coding for the button so that ONE item is added to the cart and the user is taken automatically to the checkout page.
If there is a simple URL format to achieve this, that's my preference, because then I could just manually code out my own product page (like a Joomla article, rather than in VirtueMart) and then add my own "Purchase" button. However, if I have to modify PHP, that's fine too, I just need to get pointed in the right direction.
If someone could direct me to the proper resource for this? I can't believe I haven't been able to find something so rudimentary, and I suspect I'm not using the right search terms.
assuming you are using Joomla 1.5
here is an extension: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/virtuemart-extensions/virtuemart-related-products/14458
see demos, I'm sure it will be fine for you
Compatible with VirtueMart 1.1.x (VM2 version is ongoing)

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I am not a Magento developer but am having to fix my site after my "developer" left me with most of the work to do.
Currently in my checkout screen i'm not seeing any values other than that of the actual product item value - no subtotals, discounts, shipping or the grand total. They all appear ok on the emails that are sent though (luckily).
I'm not using the default Magento package but from what i can see all the .phtml files seem to be there in the base directories and are not in my new design directories - so i would have assumed all would work ok. But alas, no. Is there anywhere i should be looking/tweaking etc etc? Have googled about as much as i can but to no avail.
I'm sure it must be something simple (!?) if all appear on the emails ok. Any ideas would be great!
I realise this is fairly old now but just in case anyone else comes across this I had this problem and for me all I had to do some enable the Mage_Tax module in System > Configuration > Advanced
It is difficult to answer your question without more insight, but here is what can be a starting point:
Login to your shop's admin panel.
In System menu click on Configuration.
From the Current Configuration Scope box select your Website.
Now in the menu on left-hand side under Configuration > Advanced (almost to the bottom of the screen)
Click on Developer
Now in the main panel, click on Debug.
For the field Template Path Hints select Yes.
Now reload your website (front-end) and you will see from which template is each part of the page being loaded.
Also if Magento's cache is enabled, you will need to clear that. I would suggest that this cache be disabled during development and/or on non-production versions of your site.
In Firefox, I'd like to be able to highlight a word or number, then right click and have options that would open various custom links such as:
View User Profile -> http://mysite.com/user/HIGHLIGHTEDWORD
View User Admin Page -> http://mysite.com/admin/user.php?user=HIGHLIGHTEDWORD
View Order Page -> http://mysite.com/orderdetailspage.php?order_id=HIGHLIGHTEDWORD
Something like that would save me and my team a lot of time.
Does anyone know is such a plugin exists, and if not what would be involved in developing one?
thanks
This page has some options for Menu customization extensions:
Maybe you could use one of those extensions with keyword searches?
I believe in you!
I know you're trying to save yourself some time with due diligence researching whether it's been done, but with the power of copy and paste, you could "write your own" almost as quickly as asking the question.
