The company Lab43 from Chicago has published an interessant info graphic regarding the topic eCommerce which we don't want to deprive of you. 500 people were asked and the answers confirm the continuously raising eCommerce trend.

Almost 73% of the respondents buy online and 66% even prefer the online purchase than buying in a local store.

It's particularly interesting that 45% of the respondents buy things online which they wouldn't buy in a store. This are for example books, lingerie and sextoy products.

Today we have several updates for you again. Almost every template and theme was updated and they are also compatible with the new Virtuemart 2.0.10. We have corrected bugs in all products and improved the compatibility with the Internet Explorer.
Furthermore we tested various Virtuemart functions concerning the different custom fields to improve this feature for you.

All existing customers can download the update in their user account following the menu item Download Area. Simply enter the download ID you received after the purchase and you will get the latest download package. The installation process is the same as before.

As you are used to us one thing follows another. After we released a free module for banner management two days ago there is already the next update of our popular eCommerce Template "Lightroom eTemplate" for Virtuemart & JoomShopping online today.

The time has come to say goodbye to two of our good old friends who accompanied us for years. Almost exactly 8 months ago to the day since the Virtuemart team accounced the release of Virtuemart 2.0.0. And it's also almost 4 months ago that the Joomla! team has ceased the support for Joomla! 1.5 and that there won't be any further updates with new features for this version. At the latest since the release of Joomla! 3.0 the end of Joomla! 1.5 will come and hence the removal of new bugs and eventually new security gaps will end.

So for us the time has also come, slowly but surely, to get rid of these deprecated versions and to focus completely on the development and improvement of our products for Virtuemart 2 and Joomla! 2.5 and the coming version 3.0.
