I installed VM manually and the menu type is missing from the list. How can i add this manually. I understand i have to use views but i don't have a views folder for the component.Do i need to create a view for it if so how do i need to go about it.

Look in the jos_components table and see if you have a record for VM. If not, then use this -

INSERT INTO `jos_components` (`name`, `link`, `menuid`, `parent`, `admin_menu_link`, `admin_menu_alt`, `option`, `ordering`, `admin_menu_img`, `iscore`, `params`, `enabled`) VALUES
('VirtueMart', 'option=com_virtuemart', 0, 0, 'option=com_virtuemart', 'VirtueMart', 'com_virtuemart', 0, '../components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/ps_image/menu_icon.png', 0, '', 1);

  • Thanks much. I have the menu type showing but the other steps of the checkout are not using the VM menu like i would expect – tnash Feb 28 '12 at 15:43
  • Do you have a VM menu item created? Do you have the VM module published? Those are both required for VM to work right. – Brent Friar Feb 28 '12 at 23:23
  • which module should i publish. I have VM best sales, VM categories? – tnash Mar 05 '12 at 21:32
  • In the module manager, you should have a module called simply Virtuemart Module. You can put it in an invisible module position, but it has to be published because VM uses some of the settings in that module. – Brent Friar Mar 06 '12 at 01:34
  • i installed and enabled the module and the other steps render on the homepage. They just push everything down and show on the homepage. I have VirtueMart 1.1.9 stable and the module mod_virtuemart_1.1.6.j15, do the versions have to match? – tnash Mar 06 '12 at 14:33
  • well i changed to the matching versions but no luck – tnash Mar 06 '12 at 14:52
  • Did you also create the menu or do you just have it showing up. You have to create a VM menu as well. – Brent Friar Mar 07 '12 at 22:14
  • i created the menu. I ended up doing a reinstall as i managed to turn safe mode off and everything works fine for now. Thanks for your help.I appreciate it – tnash Mar 09 '12 at 14:03
