In this tutorial we will be creating a new coupon using virtuemarts standard coupon code. We also sometimes add in a more advanced 3rd party coupon code extension called AWO pro. If you are interested in using this, please contact us.
- Firstly we are assuming you are logged in to the admin panel of Virtuemart either by the front end or back end of your website.
- Navigate to Coupon >> New Coupon.
- Enter the coupon code. This can be anything you want - christmas10% , dDgu&6hk, 5poundoff, etc.
- You can choose if it's for a percentage off the order or an amount off the order.
- You can choose the type of coupon as well. A Gift Coupon can only be used once. A Permanent Coupon has no limits. if using a permanent coupon you need to remember to return to the coupon page and disable it when you no longer need it.
- Enter the value of the coupon.
- Save the coupon.
- The coupon has now been created & be used during the checkout procedure.

Changing "Please Select a Shipping Method" text in Virtuemart
Written by AdministratorI recently needed a simple way to inform users in countries that shipping is not set up as standard, to contact us for shipping costs. The standard message if there is no shipping set up is "Please Select a Shipping Method", which i s a bit annoying if there isn't one showing up and the user will go elsewhere.
Here's my simple solution to alter that text;
- Go to /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/common/english.php
- download english.php and open in a text editor/ BBE/Dreamweaver
- Line: 293 'PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_ERR_NO_SHIP'.
- Change the standard text "Please select a Shipping Method" to "whatever you want"
- Save your file - with exact same name
- Upload by FTP
- Clear joomla site cache
- Check in front end

To show Simple Attributes on the browse page, apply the following changes to Virtuemart:
After line 16 in addtocart_form.tpl.php (browse template, includes folder) add:
this shows the add to cart button, that is normally hidden when you have simple attributes set up.
After line 16 in addtocart_form.tpl.php (browse template, includes folder) add:
<?php echo $ps_product_attribute->list_advanced_attribute($product_id);?><br />
This shows the combobox for your simple attributes (for example: a color picker)
Around line 410 in shop.browse.php (administrator component, html folder) comment/remove the following bit:
&& !ps_product::product_has_attributes( $db_browse->f('product_id'), true )
leave the rest of the if statement alivethis shows the add to cart button, that is normally hidden when you have simple attributes set up.
