Virtuemart works only under joomla, possibility to be hacked ;D

Post by: webgift on August 17, 2011, 15:41:12: The main difference :
eShop is running under Elxis that means ( SEO + Security ) and VirtualMarket under Joomla ( not such a good SEO techniques , Security hole )

Post by: de-active on August 21, 2011, 02:58:21: right, but these are advantages of Elxis and not advantages of shop over virtuamart?
Title: Re: EShop VS Virtuemart
Post by: babis1 on August 21, 2011, 11:11:16: those are elxis eshop advantage and not only that

Post by: webgift on August 21, 2011, 12:47:10: Here is the Elxis Forum, de-active. What are you waiting to read about ? Elxis and Joomla is the main difference of that two web applications. Personally i am not going to use something that provides me security holes.

Post by: de-active on August 21, 2011, 17:11:21: I think you people have misunderstood me - yes, clearly the difference/advantages are the CMSs - Elxis is "better/secure" than Joomla but if you were to compare only the ecommerce engines EShop & Virtuamart - then what are the advantages of Eshop over Virtuamart.

Quote
In the IOS Eshop package there is a number (about 20) of modules and bots you get for free when you purchase the component

Which someone list what these modules or bots are? Are the free ones that come with Eliixis?

Thanks

Post by: de-active on September 21, 2011, 01:20:02: Thanks for your response. More questions :)

If I wanted to display products in video format (say uploaded to youtube), how would I add video to each product from eshop?

I want to sell clothes on a website, and I will get models to do the catwalk and display each clothes via a short video. So how would I add a short video 1-3 minutes for each product from eshop?

If not possible in this version, I would recommend this be included in future version - the option to add videos - could also be video review of product

Post by: webgift on September 21, 2011, 12:09:38: You can include a youtube video into a Product's description area.
Just install Bot YouTube Plus (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/multimedia/285.html) and it's button here (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/multimedia/286.html).
The button will be displayed at TinyMCE editors area. This will help you.! Read the instructions for detailed information about ;)

Post by: MarD on October 31, 2011, 22:06:32: I 'm trying to include a video in product's description and I can't.
It's working fine when it's added at newsflashes for example.
I 've tried bot youtube plus, button youtube plush, bot youtube and social video with no results...
Any idea?

Thanks,
Marios

Post by: webgift on November 01, 2011, 09:35:26: Is that video come from Youtube? What exactly you are writing ?
Please use one bot and disable/remove the other one.
Title: Re: EShop VS Virtuemart
Post by: webgift on November 01, 2011, 12:39:54: - Remove all the installed bots relative to that.
- Install the Youtube bot (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/multimedia/44.html)
- At the product's description area write : {youtube}AjFepCUx5Us{/youtube}

Don't forget to publish the bot after installation
At the attached image you can see the test that i have already made.

Title: Re: EShop VS Virtuemart
Post by: datahell on November 01, 2011, 20:02:48: You have to enable bots in IOS Eshop configuration!

IOS Eshop -> Configuration -> Tab "General settings" -> Enable bots? -> Yes
