This month we invited Vic Drover to the JUG London house, as our guest speaker. We recorded the session as he expertly demonstrated just some of the awesome features available in the Watchful product. We did have some audio issues, so apologies for that.

Joomla 4 tutorial: Using the Web Services API

Demo - Conditional Discounts for VirtueMart

You can see the component in action by visiting this link: https://demo.webgobe.com/162/4/headpiece/cowboy-hat-detail

It is the Cowboy Hat demo product, for demo purposes has been set up as master product.

On the right module area you can see the module showing the associated slave products, with essential data and a checkbox for each. You can select the checkbox, then click on the main Add to Cart button to add the master product and the selected Slave products.

Also you will see debug info in various spots of the pages involved in this component setup. This is a feature of the component, you can switch on this in his options. More in the Setup tutorial.

We invite to play around with this, and ask your questions in our Forum.

Automate your Joomla site and components testing to make sure it is all working after an update!

Documentation and setup for VirtueMart Alternate search

The plugin allows searching of VirtueMart products including custom fields but excluding a list of comma separated category ID's.

The plugin is a replacement for the standard VirtueMart search plugin, useful for the case when you want to make one of more of your categories not showing up on search. For example you want to show up your sold items in the site, for historical reference and/or SEO reasons, but don't want to show them up in the site search results.

Features

The plugin has an extra field compared with the standard VirtueMart search plugin, where you can enter a comma delimited list of category ID's you want to exclude from search results.

Be sure to unpublish the Search - Virtuemart plugin or VirtueMart Product plugin, and publish instead this one, showing up in plugin list as:

Search - VirtueMart Alternative search
