VirtueMart - Open Source eCommerce Software

Lately some discussions came up about the compatibility of the upcoming VirtueMart 1.1 and Joomla! 1.0 series, so let's clear things up.

Virtuemart 1.1 will support 

• Joomla! 1.0,
• Joomla! 1.5 (natively),
• Mambo 4.6.3
• and probably the upcoming Mambo 4.7.

So there's no need to upgrade to Joomla! 1.5 if you don't want to. You can find more information about VirtueMart Compatibility in the Developer Guidelines on the Wiki.

Update: VirtueMart 1.1 will support Joomla! 1.5 natively. The current SVN code runs on Joomla! 1.5 with the Legacy Plugin unpublished.

Serr.biz: Joomla 1.5 - True component or legacy mode?? http://www.serr.biz

When you say compatible with Joomla 1.5, do you mean in legacy mode, or a true reworking to be a 1.5 component?

Human: change of plans? http://mythic.tv

In October, it was said that "we have decided to [...] make the upcoming VirtueMart 1.1 compatible to J! 1.5 [...]" ( http://virtuemart.net/index.ph...&Itemid=57 )

I thought that meant that VirtueMart 1.1 would be natively compatible with Joomla! 1.5. If not, when (ballpark) do you think there'd be a VirtueMart that works natively with Joomla! 1.5? Thanks for all your great efforts!

Soeren Eberhardt-Biermann: See Article Update...

VirtueMart 1.1 will support Joomla! 1.5 natively - the Legacy Plugin doesn't need to be published.

MikeC: ballpark release date for 1.1?

Just hoping to find out a ballpark stable release for 1.1? Also, will the upgrade from the current version to 1.1 be painless?

Ivo Apostolov: Run natively, but does it requires legacy plugin during installation? http://www.joomla-bg.com

Well, it is obvious that it can not install natively on 1.0 and 1.5 at the same time. The installer is obviously different.
So the question is, will it require legacy plugin to be ON during the installation?

Scott Billings: I agree - Virtuemart 1.1 does NOT now install withouth the Joomla Legacy plug-in on.

Can you provide a date when the beta with native Joomla 1.5 support will be available? Many thanks!

dont_ask: ...

I suggest people start to help testing instead of keep asking ...
asking won't help but slow down the process

unixboymd: ... http://technopuzzle.com

I really love those people who are so damn impatient and expect to get an answer right away. And if they don't then they scream, rant, rave, and even threaten to fork the VM project.

I mean really, it's been stated over and over that VM will be natively compatible with Joomla! 1.5 yet they just can't wait.

Demanding will get you no where. Making threats will get you no where. Why not get off your asses and help the VM project, instead of making threats to fork the project.

Primitivo: yeah

i do agree 100% with you, unixboymd. Stop asking if it's finished or not!!! just visit often the VM site and end of story.

littlepear: Go team, go!!! http://offsite-built.com

I've just started learning Joomla (1.5 Production/Stable) and am going to try to test (with legacy plug on for now). I threw some coins in the box for you gentlemen. Perhaps all the antsy folk should do the same!

OmegaVector: Ants in my pants too!

I too have ants in my pants, but they won't make me dance, or whine, or complain, or pout. I am patient. I will wait for 1.1 and the 1.1 ecommerce edition.
