CorFun released the highly successful FlyTabs theme over a year ago. FlyTabs presented the standard Virtuemart product information fields in elegant tabs. The theme also combined the incredible Zoom image feature and other enhancements. The theme was highly successful, but CorFun recently decided to take tabs in Virtuemart to a whole new level. The standard Virtuemart product fields just don't do justice to all products - so why not have a Virtuemart Theme that supports totally customizable information and the standard Virtuemart fields? Welcome to DynaTabs - the most flexible tabbed Virtuemart Theme available!
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.
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.
