Joomla 1.5, VirtueMart 1.1 & Joomfish 2.0 - Joomla & VirtueMart Tips & How To's

• Of course your required languages should be installed via the installer.


• Upload via ftp the VirtueMart language pack to
  joomla_root/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages
  You can get them here -
  Language Pack for VirtueMart 1.1.3
  Just extract the package and upload the whole resulting folder structure.


• One database table needs to alter to conform with the Joomfish schema so you need to run the following query.
  The easiest way is to simply paste the query into your phpMyAdmin SQL tab and click "Go".
  It adds another field auto-increment field to the jos_vm_product_attribute_sku table.
  

  ALTER TABLE `jos_vm_product_attribute_sku` 
  ADD `attribute_sku_id` INT( 11 ) 
  NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ;
  

• You then need the VirtueMart Content Elements for Joomfish which you can find here -
  VirtueMart Content Elements for Joomfish 2.0 or here.
  The 2nd local one has the needed changes to the vm_store_info.xml / vendor.xml file done (See below).
  Don't try to use the virtuemart.zip available on the joomlacode site. This is for Joomfish 1.8.
  Unzip the pack and ftp the files to joomla_root/administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements
