Hello shape5 crew

i am really fascinated about your new template etensity. it looks really cool on your demosite and
I really need such a template for my new onlinestore - it fits good with my products  Shocked

Because i am not that good in coding I have a question regarding the tabsmodule in virtuemart.
I just know tabs from usual joomla and there i always had to insert code. HOW is that in etensity??
Do I have to insert code or make configurations (like setting a specific flypage or browsepage) to make it work??
Or would it just work out of the box?

Another question is about the lightbox: Do I really have to insert always that long code (like you described in the
demo tutorial) to make it work? Isnt there an easier way, since i dont want to go into coding everytime i set a new
picture!? (the picture in virtuemart is not like inserting a picture in a description - its more work to go into coding)

Thank you for answering in detail and specific to both big questions. I am sure that if u explain a lil bit i can better
expect what to get. Unfortunately yet i dont have a view behind the scenes but i hope i can get a member in the
next days.

I think this is the best virtuemart template, beating all the other template clubs with ease.

thx for your answer and have all a nice day

Burnsi,

The VM tabs are setup by uploading our custom flypage.php file. We have a complete package for installing our custom VM pages by simply unzipping them to your server. The tabs our automatically generated based on your inputs in VM.

The lytebox does require coding but there is an easy to follow tutorial here:

http://www.shape5.com/demo/etensity/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=55

Once you get one of them down the rest are easy. It looks more overwhelming than it really is.

If you have any further questions please let me know.

thx 4yur respnd

the tab-thing sounds good - just setting new flypage - awesome

the lightbox (or lytebox) thing sounds confusing: when you create a new
product in virtuemart (1.1) and want to add a picture there is nothing easy
to add the code like it is if u add a picture in content (there you could just
press "edit html" and than adjust like described in the tutorial). But in virtue
mart I THINK this is more difficult. THERE IS NO "EDIT HTML" BUTTON.
Plz proof me wrong than all will become fine.

Thx again 4 fast responding
(i know it can be anoying to respond on presale questions because 4 U its
such an unbelievable easy thing. but because i dont have the template i have
no idea how that looks/feels/operates.)

Hi, the new version of Virtuemart actually has lytebox built in. In the backend you just choose to enable it. The tutorial on our demo is if you want to set lytebox on content pages outside of Virtuemart. I hope that makes sense, but let me know if you have any further questions.
