I tried to install the template Book Store on joomla 2.5 but it doesn't work.
What's wrong? I install the package "ot_bookstore_template_installation_package_j25" so it was right for 2.5 but when the template has been installed joomla said that it was the 1.7 version and not 2.5. How can I install the 2.5 version? Tanks.

Hi,
What problem or error did you get after installed it? Did you install modules, create modules, create menus and assign them into positions?

It is better if we can see some screenshots, messages or from a site url.

It also works for both Joomla! 1.7 and 2.5 and no problem when it say 1.7 (version info can change in template xml).

Thanks

Hello,

I have purchased the OT Book Store for Joolma. My install is Joomla 2.5 and so I installed the OT Book Store for 2.5. The zips I used were ot_bookstore_template_installation_package_j25.zip and mod_ot_virtuemart_prodslider_j25.zip. I manually applied zip ot_bookstore_j25.zip with ftp.


After installation I get a small portion of the website at the time to display

Also, I tried OT Book Store for Joomla 1.5 but all I got were script or variable errors.

Please help, and thanks.

Hello,

Why did not you install quickstart demo package ? you can upload that zip file via ftp and then extract it and install it like you install new fresh joomla site. It's the same demo site.

Best Regards

Greetings,

And thanks for quick reply as I really need to get this up and running right away.

I did try installing quickstart demo package. On my host, I installed Joomla 2.5.9, logged into it as administrator and uploaded the zip. The upload performs an install and will alert you of a a successful install or not. I do not get an alert that says the installation was successful like when I install the none demon zip version of the template. And although I can see that all the files where extracted when I check ftp, it still does not work.

Does the quick start demo install Joomla itself plus the template? I already have Joomla installed on my host and use softaculous to install new instances.

Please help, and thanks.

Okay, here's update: I did EXACTLY as described and the site came up! There are some errors but I believe they are "Display errors" as mentioned in the "Recommended settings" section of the install. This might be a configuration ini setting or something. Any insight to this would be appreciated. Things look much better now and thanks.

I need help with the language. English-gb comes with template but when I try English US from Joomla, the banner disappears. I have tried multiple prior versions of English but the banner that comes with the template (the one that shows the books) disappears.

Please help!!!!

Problem Solved. Just like with most things, if you wait long enough and research (and pray), the answer will come. The latest language pack (English) seems to disable virtuemart (at least for me) and was stuck on English GB (or UK). This effectively kept the currency at English-GB.


To get currency to change:

- keep Language at English-GB.

- make sure virtuemart and virtuemart-aio were updated first by going to Components, then to both virtuemart and virtuemart-aio. If an update is needed, each will have a link to upgrade it.

then:

- goto Components, then virtuemart
- click on Orders and Shoppers
- tick or "check" the super user
- then click "is a vendor" button
(this will make vendor tab show if not seen)
- then click on the super user itself
- on the vendors tab, under currency, "change currency" and "accepted currency" as needed
