| On Hold - VM2.0 Shipping modules |
| 2012.10.21 21:31:45 | |
|
I know I've been promising a lot of people the VirtueMart 2.0 compatible shipping modules in the next few weeks, but I am going to have to put that on hold for a while. I'm really unsure of how long. Some life situations have come up that prevent me from having any extra time to work on the modules. Namely, I'm getting married in January and the plans are taking a lot of time. Also, my grandfather is terminally ill, and I've been spending more time with him. So, I'm sorry to dissapoint, and I really do want to complete the modules, but I cannot at this time. Keep watching this blog for updates, probably after January.
Please pray for me and my family, as we need all the prayer and support we can get! Tags: Joomla | USPSv5 | FedExv2 | UPSv2 | Shipping Module | VM2.0 | VirtueMart 2.0 Hits: 554 | Read more... |

| VirtueMart + Caching |
| 2011.07.29 16:43:29 | |
|
Caching is a beautiful thing. It can make your load times go from molasses to lightning. However, the default caching system in Joomla does not work very well with VirtueMart. Carts are not updated properly, checkout pages can get messed up, and a host of other issues crop up. I've found a nice open source solution: This component + plugin system allows you to bypass caching for module positions, whole components, and even components called with specific arguments. Sweet!

| VirtueMart and large product lists |
| 2010.09.27 00:40:26 | |
|
What is the maximum number of products VirtueMart can handle? Thousands, I would assume. But you don't want to put them all in the same category, that's for sure. I'm no database guru, but from what I understand MySql is OK for small queries, but not so great with more complex ones. I just had a client with a script timeout issue, and it all traced down to a core VirtueMart query: SELECT DISTINCT `jos_vm_product`.`product_id`, `product_publish`,`product_in_ `product_url`, `product_weight`,`product_ `product_length`,`product_ `product_availability`,`jos_ FROM ( `jos_vm_product`, `jos_vm_category`, `jos_vm_product_category_xref` LEFT JOIN `jos_vm_product_price` ON `jos_vm_product`.`product_id` = `jos_vm_product_price`.` LEFT JOIN `jos_vm_shopper_vendor_xref` ON (`jos_vm_shopper_vendor_xref`. `jos_vm_shopper_vendor_xref`.` WHERE (`jos_vm_product_category_ OR `jos_vm_product_category_xref` AND `jos_vm_product_category_xref` AND `jos_vm_product_category_xref` AND (`jos_vm_product`.`product_id` OR `jos_vm_product_price`.` AND `product_parent_id`=0 GROUP BY `jos_vm_product`.`product_sku` ORDER BY `jos_vm_product`.`product_sku` ASC LIMIT 0, 20 Category 1032 had over 500 products in it. Run 500 products through the above query, add in a 30 second PHP max_execution_time, and what do you get?
KABOOM!
Fatal Error. Maximum Execution time exceeded.
Joomla handles the issue fairly well, in that it only allows (maximum execution time)/2. It does this so it can finish handling session data. So actually my client's setup allowed 15 real seconds. We're going to bump up the execution time a few seconds to see if we can squeek it by, and if that fails we'll probably break that large category into smaller subcategories.

Options. The more, the better, right? I've added the "flat tax rate" mechanism back in to UPSv2. This is the original tax function that came with UPS v1.0 (this version ships with VirtueMart). Now, you can choose between this flat tax behavior, or my new product tax mirroring system. This module is still not publicly released, but is 60% towards being so. You can obtain a copy by donating to the cause! Tags: UPSv2 | VirtueMart | Joomla | Free Software | Shipping Module | UPS v2 Hits: 465 | Read more... |

| Tienda eCommerce |

A colleague of mine, Bob Bloom, has turned me on to the new ecommerce system Tienda, by Dioscouri.com. It features true a MVC framework, amongst other things. While it is still under heavy development, I just wanted you all to know that I will definitely be keeping up with it and will most likely be adding some shipping method plugins for Tienda to my offerings. In other words, I am for hire for Tienda plugins! Not just shipping methods, but anything else as well! Tags: Tienda | e-commerce | eCommerce | Joomla Hits: 567 | Read more... |

It took a while, but it's finally here. My UPSv2 tax update! It is fully tested for Canadian and US tax setups. The EU mode has not been tested, however. Also, I have not yet released this version publicly. I had quoted my client 4 hours, but the update actually took about 8! So my client covered half the cost, as we agreed upon. Now I need your help covering the rest. Once that is done, I'll release it for the benefit of everyone!

| ECSuite for VirtueMart |
| 2010.01.16 05:51:42 | |
|
I've coded up a payment module for VirtueMart based on ECSuite's Transaction Gateway System (TGS) API. If you're interested in obtaining a copy, or would like help integrating this module into your website, contact me for more information. The module centers around a PHP class which does all the API calls, so it should be easy to port to other systems.
