    Disappointing, December 21, 2007 |
After a very frustrating experience with VM, I had hoped that this one would be better.
This package had a ton of stuff built-in that VM simply could not do, and it seemed, at first to be a good bridge between my favorite CMS & OSCommerce. Everything seemed to be going well, and you can even use many OSCommerce plugins as an added bonus.
But then I realized that the system could not send out emails.
I will say that the forum support is quick & excellent, and that it is possible that it may be something with my host (not sure, though). But I was not able to solve the problem. All test scripts that I tried were able to send emails, as was Joomla itself, but not this package.
I really like the package, and it had everything that I needed/wanted, but without the ability to send out emails, it is useless.
Not many people had this problem, but some did.
I tried all of the suggested fixes, but none of them worked.
I may try it again in the future, but for now, I will have to look elsewhere.

    Very Disappointing, December 21, 2007 |

I installed the prepackaged version of Virtuemart & Joomla, and I was very excited about getting going with it. Unfortunately, my excitement soon turned to frustration and disappointment.
If you need multiple taxes, like I do in Quebec, Canada, where there is a tax on a tax, don't even bother trying VM. By law, we have to show both taxes and what was charged.
I wanted to have downloadable gift certificates. Can't do that either.
There were errors in the shipping calculations.
After seeing the Editor's Pick on this product, I was quite surprised as to the functioning (or lack thereof) of this product.
And there is almost no support in the forums.
Like I said, very disappointing.
Even though Joomla is my favorite CMS, I may go with a dedicated non-Joomla e-commerce package. I haven't been able to find a Joomla based system that works well for what I need.
