Hello,
I have made a test before doing it on the online site, and I am glad I dit that.
I first upgraded virtuemart to 3.2.2 and everything was ok.
I then upgraded joomla from 3.6.5 to 3.7.2 and the product page was broken. Not displaying the correct layout at all.
I was runing box template version 1.0.0 so I was not too surprised.Then I upraded box template to version 1.0.3 and nothing changed though it is written this version is compatible with joomla 3.7 and virtuemart.
Product page is still broken. See image.

Clicking on add to cart button does not work either. The cart is empty an instead of having the choice of continuing or going to the cart it send directly to the cart.
Hope someone there can help.

Regards
Kris

I forgot to tell I was testing with php version 7.0.15
I have just tested with php 5.6.30 (the version I run on the online site) and the result is different
here is the message with this version :

I think that this could help

I even tried to view the site with an iphone 7 and the home page is really not responsive and has nothing compared to your demo site or the online site.

For the problem when clicking on a product, I found the problem (bug).
I do not know wether it is a virtuemart problem or a template problem. But it worked well before I updated virtuemart to 3.2.2 (still under joomla 3.6.5).
In fact in a menu, when showing a category of products, without showing the subcategories, it makes a bug when clicking on the products. The template is broken in this case and the product is not displayed correctly.

Hi

All I know is that work is in progress, but it's a complete rewrite of the VM overrides in our templates, so not sure when it will be ready.

Work in progress means that it is started, not that it is planned. This should be a good piece of news, because I guess the staff will not spend weeks on it. Fingers crossed..

Hi

I was told that the most fragile pieces was patched, so it should be possible to update, but I had no chance to test it myself, so if You can try it on copy first than it would be best.
