Hi!

After searching far and wide I realise that I have to ask you guys for help. It's always worked in the past, but my pride takes a blow when I cannot figure stuff out myself.

I'm working on a new site with the beautiful quark design. I started out with the quickstart for the original Quark-template, but after a while I realised that I needed a webshop as part of the website. No worries, I'll just use the ecommerce-version. I have always wanted to try that, so that was a bonus, but there the fun ended.

The website works fine on the other stuff, except virtuemart. It seems to break the template and even revert to the off-canvas menu even though it's disabled everywhere.

This website is for a campaign launching very soon and I'm a bit stressed out here. I have enabled the gavick super user so you can check it out.
The site is here: http://psykiskhelsefag.no.preview.stwcp.net/
The webshop is here: http://psykiskhelsefag.no.preview.stwcp.net/nettbutikk
And the breakdown happens here: http://psykiskhelsefag.no.preview.stwcp ... hettejakke

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Adrian

Hi

Please try to disable using default virtuemart css files in its settings. If this will not help please send me an access to joomla panel.

I sent you login details, but the message is still in outbox, not sent folder. Is this normal?

This happened to me as well.
I've been customizing the template with content, css and a few other things but no major core changes. Now the pop-up cart doesn't work and when I add something to the cart it displays nothing in the cart on the cart page.
My site is only on my workstation in development so there is no access for you to dig in deeper. I hope you can help AdrianJLo because I have the same issue.

Hi

Ok. Problem is that less files with style for ecommerce or regular style overwrites regular css files, so You cannot use both this styles at the same time. You will have to rename the template and use it as a separate one. Than You need to copy template settings, it's a lot different tight now and that's why different menu style is used. Here an instruction for renaming template: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... ate-folder

Hi!

Thanks!
I started the process and everything seemed to go just fine until the entire front end went blank. Any ideas?

Thanks for getting back to me :)
Ok. I fixed the blank page with a fresh install.

The problem, however still exist. I Now have two separate installs of quark done the way you described. The funny thing here is that whenever I look at a product or a category the template reverts back to having the off canvas menu and the Open Sans font event though NONE of the templates have those settings anymore. Both templates are set to a classic menu and with the Exo font from the google font dir.

So in short: Renamed the templates, problem persists.

Hi Adrian,
I had the same problem after installing a new quark template (in order to use the two different styles).

I solved it changing the template category settings on virtuemart to "default". Try checking the template settings of the single category; so assign the new template to the menu items, but set virtuemart category template to default. I think you will solve your problem.

I still have problems with cart pop-up visualization, but I hope I will get an answer soon!

Hope it will help!

Hi

@AdrianJLo please tell me the url to a page with example. I can see it's connected with Nettbutik menu, but I cannot see where this menu is shown.

Here's the webshop front: http://psykiskhelsefag.no.preview.stwcp.net/nettbutikk
Here's a category: http://psykiskhelsefag.no.preview.stwcp.net/klaer
Here's an item: http://psykiskhelsefag.no.preview.stwcp ... hettejakke

The category and item are both in a menu that's the main menu for the ecommerce template which is associated with the appropriate menus. As you will se the off-canvas menu appears even though none of my templates have that enabled.

I tried that, Daniele I even tried it again after you suggested it. It seems that nothing I do in Virtuemart fixes the problem. I realise that this may very well be my own stupidity getting in the way here, but nothing seems to do the trick.

Thanks though, Daniele and teitbite!

Hi

Looks like Your site is not there any more ;/ Anyway I'm pretty sure I remember one of Your template style has a canvas menu selected. Just needed an example to see if I'm right. Please let me know when site will be back online so I'll check.
