In Joomla 1.5.x the Virtuemart administration works perfectly in extended mode. The following link / url should be applied:

…/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&tmpl=component&vmLayout=extended

No need to modify the index2.php.

Hi,
If you want to get a cleaner display of Virtuemart administration in front end, beside checking your css, you also have to load mootools scripts, which are not loaded when using index2.php.
A quick and easy hack is to modify application.php file in Joomla (includes/application.php)
Look for function dispatch($component){
After if ( $user->get(‘id’) ) { add the following code:
$document->addScript( JURI::root(true).’/media/system/js/mootools.js’);
This will fix the menus on the left pane

@ludo: @hootin: Sorry for late reply, yes i think for Joomla 1.5 there's no need to put that code in index2.php. Even maybe we can tryin to inserted with "include" function, but i think its not necessary. The display is little strange, but not too bad. I will updated here if i found another way to fixed some messed up with Virtuemart frontpage admin display

That’s what I don’t understand!
Where to put this piece of code as there is no section in index2.php???

Here is the content of index2.php :
$_REQUEST['tmpl'] = 'component';
include('index.php');

So what to do??

Thanks a lot ;)

index2.php in Joomla 1.5 does not contain a head section. Any idea where to go from here? The link works but the formatting is strange.

@ludo:
Yes, to avoid weird display in virtuemart frontend admin, you must added those line into index2.php in root directory of your Joomla

Hi,

The link to acces virtuemart front-end works perfectly ;)

But why do we have to add thoses javascript lines??
And where?? Do you mean in the index2.php in the root directory of Joomla?? I can’t find any section!!!
