About this release
While the main task of the core team is the brand new VirtueMart 1.5, we don't forget about 1.1 users for sure!
VirtueMart 1.1.5 is a manteinance and security release that contains new features and some minor bug fixes.

What's new in VirtueMart 1.1.5 :

• Rewritten PayPal payment module , refactored by following the new PayPal API
• Rewritten Merchant Warrior payment module
• Various bug fixes

Some bugs are still there, ouch! Please, help us keeping VirtueMart fully functional!
Check the them at http://dev.virtuemart.net/redmine/versions/show/9 , as they are going to be fixed in the upcoming 1.1.6 release and if you find something is not properly working, please, submit a new bug to the tracker.

Differences between clean installation and upgrade from previous versions

The new developed payment method will be available by default only for a clean installation of Virtuemart 1.1.5

Therefore, if you are going to upgrade, rewritten payment modules won't be in your payment list. Don't worry: if you feel comfortable with the old ones, there's no need to update anything at all.

If you'd like to, it's possible to update them to the new ones by following this simple instructions, but you'll have to completely re-configure your payment module.

Instructions for updating payment modules ( again: upgrade only & not mandatory)

Install the patch, then go to Store -> Add Payment Method and edit the "Payment Method Form" tab settings accordingly to the above images

for merchant warrior

for paypal

Then, fill in the "Configuration" tab form with your private payment method account's data.

Emilian Manolache: Congratulations! http://www.globacide.com

Hey there and congratulations!

It's been almost a year since the last release. As we've seen in the forums, some of VM users got really anxious and wondering if VirtueMart is still being developed and moved forward.

Glad to see VM's team has finally finished the development cycle of 1.1.5, and has shown its eager community that VM is going forward, dominating the Joomla! e-commerce components market.

As many of us know, the next big step for VM is to go MVC. We're also aware how big an endeavor such a transition is. We're in the same process ourselves with our extension (VM Affiliate), finishing the latest touches. Yet, once this is properly accomplished, and proper structure is given to the component, new features can be implemented way easier.

So, congratulations on this achievement, and looking forward to the MVC VirtueMart.

Warmest regards!

VM 1.1.5 is a mantainance release, some bugs needs to be solved in the next 1.1.6 release.

VM will be ported into MVC framework in the 1.5 version which is under big development and of which we'll release some insights soon a stable alpha is near to come

Manolache Emilian: Great to hear! http://www.globacide.com

Hey K0nan,

That's great to hear!

Looking forward to the alpha version!

Depending on the framework, we also need to adapt our extension .

Will 1.5 include support for hack-free 3rd party extensions?

We have managed in our new extension release to make ours hack-free, after endless hour of work which resulted in an integration plugin. However, it would be really nice to see native support for extensions.

Warmest regards to you and the VM team!

Johan49: Will VirtueMart be 100% compatible with PHP 5.3+ ?

Hi all,

I'm very glad tu use VirtueMart but I've got just one question: when will VirtueMart be fully compatible with PHP 5.3+? Will it be done with the 1.1.6 release?

In the code of the 1.1.5 release, there is still "ereg()" family functions that is now deprecated since PHP 5.3.0. On some servers on which we can't change the verbose level this generates some PHP warnings.

By the way, thanx for your nice job and may VirtueMart have a long life!

Regards,
Johan

Francesco Abeni: VM 1.1.x and PHP 5.3 http://blog.gibilogic.com

PHP 5.3 full compatibility (notice removal) was not on the list for 1.1.6, but if you can help us by sending a full list of pages / functions to change, maybe we can have a look at it.
Use the VM dev/coding forum. Thank you!

HOTstuFF, first you don't HAVE to use the new PayPal system. You can go on using the old payment method.

Regarding your issue, you are the third person who report it, BUT WE NEED MORE INFO! It appears to happen only on specific hosting environment, we are not able to reproduce it. Can you give us Joomla version, PHP version, operating system version?

alebak: Rewrite virtuemart http://www.ximware.com

I think they should rewrite the Virtuemart component, and only for Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.6 The Virtuemart source code it's horrible and don't understand.

Best regards,

Barry Ferrier: upgrade caused ssl problem http://byronayinteractive.com

Thanks for your excellent product. I enthusiastically upgraded a site to 1.1.5 today and immediately I get a "This Connection is Untrusted" message when trying to access the domain but I have no SSL certificate. Could you advise what to do?
