VirtueMart 4.2 including new PayPal Checkout
Yes a new mayor sub version as it would be sub number 24 already. On the other hand, this version works now very well on Joomla 3 and of course Joomla 4.3 and PHP8.2. So most things have settled in 4.0.22 and compared to last autumn we had almost no bugs to fix. So this stability should also be reflected in the version number and therefore 4.2!Some have already noticed, after years of maintaining our root server on our own, our developer server went down. But thanks to our members, we can...
After the release of VirtueMart 1.0.3 users discovered some annoying bugs (I wish we had found them before the release). But as always, we can quickly fix those bugs and give you a solution.
It is planned to release another maintenance release (VirtueMart version 1.0.4) soon, which contains all those bug fixes.
Now to the problems and their solutions:
Session problems, mixed up cart, etc. [Task #593], Problem description
Can't install VirtueMart after uninstall
Prices do not show for some users (quick and dirty solution, a better one will be included in 1.0.4)
I really need help in release management. Please contact me if you're interested.
Another interesting enhancing modification for VirtueMart has been recently developed and released on the forum: the Invoice/Receipt/DeliveryNote Addon.
The author, Ingemar (aka Mr_Smurf), writes about it: "It acts as a plugin for order.order_print (The order details page for the administrator) and adds a new tab where you can create invoices, receipts and delivery notes in pdf."
Grab your copy from the forum topic if you like. It can't be installed as a plugin or component, but you will need to upload and modify some files and change the database structure by hand.
Because it's so useful, this addon is expected to be added into the official VirtueMart distribution and will be available with the next minor release (VirtueMart 1.1).
Thanks to Ingemar in this special case and all the other contributors of "mods/tweaks/hacks" for VirtueMart!
