The Virtuemart ecommerce system for Joomla does not allow, as standard the application of a discount based on the total value of the shopping cart.

This method will deliver this functionality.

As always make sure you have a back up of any file before you make changes!!!

Virtuemart and Joomla are both open sourced projects. The benefit of this is that fixes like this can be readily developed by the worldwide community of users and developers.

Detailed instructions are found below.

A number of people have reported that they struggle with the Virtuemart ecommerce system for Joomla when trying to configure SSL certification.

I have therefore posted a fix here which fixes the issue of "non secure items on page" warnings when visitors go to the checkout in a Virtuemart site.

This fix has been tested extensively on live sites using Joomla 1.0.x and Virtuemart up to 1.2

If you want your webpage to feature high in the Google rankings you need to tell the robots very clearly that your page is important with relation to your keywords.

Whilst this is about setting out your content clearly and legibly for users and telling them what it is about, there are a number of key things that search engine spiders will be looking for in order to know what your page is predominantly about.

This can be a time consuming process so we have developed a few bits of code which make this much easier for you to achieve with your Joomla website.

Introduction

  When many people think about good website design they will think about what they see, the colour scheme, the shape, the images, flash moves etc.etc.

Whilst important this aspect, which I will call "form" is only one part of good website design and is in fact subordinate to what I will call function. Why subordinate? - because if the website does not display, cannot be found or cannot be properly seen by some sections of the population then the colour scheme etc. are not relevant.

Before we concern ourselves with these things we must ensure that the website works as it is intended to do, that is can be found, displayed and read by as close to 100% of the population as is possible.
