If we are using an iframe (wrapper) within our content we sometimes need to pass Joomla parameters to the called page.

By using Joomla's template override system we don't have to touch any core files.

Customise the VirtueMart 1.1 Related Products display
  • Joomla 1.5 + 1.0
  • VirtueMart 1.1

The default layout for the VirtueMart 1.1 Related Products display is a maximum of 4 products displayed in a horizontal row.

It's quite easy to change this and also to display rounded corners i.e <div><div><div><div> layout but you need to change the core files.

How to enable line wrap in the Joomla Geshi plugin
  • Joomla 1.5 + 1.0
  • GeSHi Plugin

The default css for the Joomla GeSHi (Generic Syntax Highlighter) plugin prevents any line wrapping until the end of any code snippet. This can often break your page layout.

By adding these couple of lines to the template css the code breaks nicely to fit within your layout.

Joomla! E-Commerce with VirtueMart book review
  • Joomla 1.0 & 1.5
  • VirtueMart 1.1

I've had the chance to read Packt Publishing's Joomla! E-Commerce with VirtueMart by Suhreed Sarkar and as a complete "how to" for Joomla and VirtueMart it's perfect.

It really does contain all you need to get up and running a full e-commerce site using these components.
