I rate this app extremely poor because it just does not keep its promiss. It is certainly good for real good shipping merchants, but should be avoided for the sale of Downloadable products.

This feature just does not work and the support/doc about this is unexistent. So unless you are a good programmer, avoid virtue mart at all cost for even basic business with downloadable files.

The customer experience is even worse, they have to fill unecessary fields (you can remove a few, but not all of them, unless you go deeper in the code, otherwise you get bugs and no support). And the paypal redirection does not work well for languages.

The sales work fine though, but if you are into making a shop for downloadables, virtue mart is far from the best solution.

This is a funny component, and it reminded me of my childhood and friends who were christian and had such xmas calendars.

This component replicates this i think. But it is very disapointing that there is no chocolate in the date boxes! should be declared fully functional once "download chocolate" is implemented :-)

Hello,
Just so people know, it is not really a chat room: only the administrator gets to have a nice looking chat box **in the backend** only. User can have access either to a message box, or a kind of automatically updated ""thread"" (kind of chat but not 1 to 1 like msn and such.

It is not bad software: it works great for what it has, but a bit disapointing for the chat thing. It is more something that you'd open after someone PM-ed you, but it is not a chat box.

A lot of interest is winded up because admin has to go to the backend to chat and/or to activate desactivate chat.

I have paid the soft for supporting the developpers (but forum is dead so i do not know if it is still developped (i regret a little).

What is missing:
The backend application should be accessible from front end and from all registered users).

Promising but not practical.
