CorFun, Inc. has been making extensive use of the K2 Joomla component in our client projects for all kinds of things from catalogs to blogs to community sites. One of K2's greatest strengths is the ability to assign users to customizable User Groups. This is a great capability, but did have one limitation. When users log in, it is often desired to route them to specific pages based on their User Groups.

Virtuemart is an excellent shopping cart system. Combined with the power of Joomla, fantastic eCommece sites can be created on a budget affordable to most businesses. Virtuemart, however, has had one drawback - coupons. You could set up coupons to give customers an incentive to buy. However, you could not limit those coupons to a certain product. Nor could you require a minimum purchase for the coupon to be used. And you couldn't put an expiration date on the coupon, either. In short, you had a coupon function in Virtuemart, just not one most stores could actually use.

So what good was it? Not much, until CorFun created the Target Coupon component for Joomla to fix all those limitations!

Virtuemart for Joomla is a fantastic shopping cart system. It has so many advantages that it is hard to list them all. However, there is one thing that Virtuemart lacks that can be really painful. That is a simple, easy way to export orders and send that list out to partners, fulfillment houses, vendors, accounting, etc. VM Orderlist from CorFun, Inc. solves that problem and makes your Virtuemart order information simple and easy to export.

The Flytabs Virtuemart Theme does some really awesome things. In addition to arranging the product data in easy-to-navigate tabs, the theme provides the awesome Zoom Image functionality, image swap, and even an embedded video player.

Flytabs is a Virtuemart Theme. As explained in a different blog post, a Virtuemart Theme only controls the functioning of the shopping cart. Your Joomla website must have a template of some kind in addition to our Virtuemart tabbed theme.

The vast majority of Joomla templates will work with FlyTabs.  Here are some cases in which FlyTabs and your template may not get along.
