How to install the Virtuemart Template? (Joomla! 1.7 or higher & VM 2.0.8+)

System Requirements

PHP Version

Minimum requirement PHP5! The primary development platform for all Joomla! templates by Yagendoo is PHP version 5 or higher. If you use PHP4, this won't be a problem, as your web host usually allows you to update the PHP version to PHP5.

Javascript

To ensure that the visitors of your website will see your template correctly, their browsers have to support JavaScript, which usually is the case. If JavaScript is disabled, certain components of the template (e.g. the drop-down menu or the slideshow) will not work properly.

 

Installing and configuring the Yagendoo Virtuemart template is very easy. In the following, you will learn how to install and configure the template.

1. Preparing the Installation

Unpack the archive called "unzip_" locally on your computer. Within this archive you find the template archive, a license.txt and a documentation.txt. You may not unpack, change or rename the template archive!
