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.

Allow html formatting in VirtueMart's "Terms of Service"

Joomla 1.5 + 1.0 VirtueMart 1.1 If your "Terms of Service" that shows on the last stage of VirtueMarts checkout is more than a couple of lines long then it can be quite unreadable. With this hack we can enable the text area (the "Legal information text (short version)." as VirtueMart calls it) of the VirtueMart configuration page (first tab) to accept html formatting.

Display Meta Tags in your Joomla Content

Joomla 1.5 Template To raise your keyword count in your Joomla content for the Search Engines you can use native Joomla 1.5 calls to display the meta-keywords and meta-descriptions somewhere on your page. This is a similar technique as Tag Clouds but has the advantage of being totally controllable by the author, the input fields are already present in the Joomla installation and the content appears as full sentences rather than a series of keywords.
