Quote:If you run an ecommerce site, you may want a content management system (CMS) to help manage your online product line. VirtueMart, available under the GNU GPL and fully integrated with Joomla!, does that and more. It provides a full ecommerce solution in a LAMP environment.

VirtueMart has a long history, going back several years through different incarnations. Its oldest ancestor is phpShop, a PHP-powered, standalone shopping-cart application that's still in development. Then it became mambo-phpShop, a Mambo component, fully integrated within that CMS.

Quote:I suggest logging out of the admin page as soon are you are done working on it. Also try not to browser any suspicious or unknown sites while you are logged in. Also scan your computer for virus which might try to redirect you to suspicious sites while you are working in your admin page. Once Joomla releases a patch I will apply it to all the PSU Stores.

Wear garlic around your neck. Walk with a wooden stick. Pepper spray wouldn't be a bad idea. Lock your doors while you are in your admin. Avoid your admin on the night of a full moon.

He will be logging out of the admin page permanently on 25 November 2009.  His brick & mortar Games Underground store is closing and his PSU store gamesug.com is running a 40% off store closing sale.

He'll be able to sleep for the first time in years. :blinkie:
