Creating a link to our store
The next minor issue is of being able to visit your store from the front end. If you go then you will find that the front end (customer facing) part of your store isn't there! We will fix this with a main menu link.
Getting ready
Log in to the Joomla! control panel if you are not there already.
How to do it...
To create the link to your store we will use the features of Joomla!:
- Navigate to Menu | Main Menu | Add New Menu Item. We now have this on the left-hand side of the new Menu Item screen. Look at the following screenshot:
- Click on the Select button next to the first option Menu Item Type. From the list under the VirtueMart heading choose Front Page.
- For Menu Title, enter the word or words that will appear in the main menu. I chose
Shop. That will do. We will revisit other settings when we look at topics such as SEO and templates in later chapters. - Click on Save on the top right of the screen.
How it works...
VirtueMart is installed and working but we needed to create a way to visit it. This simple link to the Shop home page is the first of a number of different ways of accessing your new store.
