Hello,

I just installed this template. I visited the VM cpanel and it is messed up. It looks like the style sheet is not attaching. It may be a permission problem but I'm not sure.

I did try to uninstall VM then re-install 1.6. After that my store was broken. So I deleted the entire site and started over.

Please advise as I want to figure this out before I do anything else now. Thanks!

I have included a screen-shot.

Just wanted to say that Gavick support is very patient. I was having the same virtuemart problems. So I went to the next logical step...
SUPPORT - SUPPORT DESK - type in "virtuemart" read the only search result... "How To Install a Quickstart Package" at the bottom of the page it says...

"Only if you are installing a quickstart version that has integrated Virtuemart Component, in addition to all the previous steps, please access via FTP to the following file

../administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php

and add URL or path on this lines.


/ / These path and url definitions here are based on the Joomla! Configuration
define ('URL','');
define ('SECUREURL','');
Add your URL or path to your website, like this example shows: / / These path and url definitions here are based on the Joomla! Configuration
define ('URL','http://www.yourwebsite.com/joomla/');
define ('SECUREURL','http://www.yourwebsite.com/joomla/');
"
I just happened on all these posts after and have to say to those who don't want to spend the time, I assure you it is well worth it to use the SUPPORT HELP DESK

On the user side, perhaps Gavick can put a readme.txt right next to the quickstart download stating that you must configure the virtuemart.cfg.php. Time is $;)

Love these templates and this site, it has absolutely upped my web game and I truly appreciate that I don't have to code them from scratch!!! Keep up the good work

Perfect! Worked like a charm! Thanks for all of your help!

One thing you need is to add http:// infront of www.

Thanks!

Ah, yes it does need that http:// infront of www. I figured that out, but I copied and pasted the below

define ('URL','www.yourwebsite.com/joomla/');
define ('SECUREURL','www.yourwebsite.com/joomla/');

from the actual help article, so that should be changed too:)
