virtuemart + joomla 2.5.28 no changes on productslider settings possible

Hello Jens,

Thank you, I could reproduce the issue (with Joomla 2.5 but not with Joomla 3+) and have forwarded it to our developers.

Sincerely,

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I can confirm that I have only the issue with 2.5. On 3 it works.

regards

Jens

Hello Jens,

I have discussed the issue with our developers. The fact is that Joomla 2.5 support has stopped last year:
http://developer.joomla.org/development-status.html
Quite possibly, some other controls may also have compatibility issues with Joomla 2.5.
So currently our development team is concentrated on improving Themler for Joomla 3+.
Sorry for this.
We would recommend you to try Themler with Joomla 3+ as soon as it is possible for you.

Thank you,

Hello Nettie, thanks for the information. I know that Joomla team stopped the support for the last LTR Version. But the problem is, that a lot of things are not working in a propper way in J3. This is also the reason why the virtuemart team has provides only a J2.5+VM Bundle. Further a lot of extensions have trouble with the new J3.

So is there a workaround which I can use to configure the product slider?

thank you in advanced!

best regards

Jens

Hello Jens,

Please try this workaround:

1. Please find the file {ThemeName}/app/Config.php in the theme folder.

Find this code:

 // instantiate the frontend application.
JFactory::$application = JApplication::getInstance('administrator');

And replace it to:

// instantiate the frontend application.
CustomModuleHelper::clean();
JFactory::$application = JApplication::getInstance('administrator');

2.Then please find the file {ThemeName}/app/CustomModuleHelper.php in the theme folder.

Find this code:

<?php
    class CustomModuleHelper extends JModuleHelper {}
?>

And replace it to:

<?php
    class CustomModuleHelper extends JModuleHelper {

        public static function clean() {
            $modules = & JModuleHelper::_load();
            $modules = null;
        }
    } >

This should help.

Best regards,
Nettie,
