Joomla Virtuemart - a few questions

    Ive been looking to get a wesbte started.

    The wesite will initially have articles and a shop and then possibly after a few months some forums.

    1) As virtuemart is an extension of joomla im presuming it would still be fine to have articles and what not as you would with just Joomla without making any other changes?

    2) If i wanted to change the skin on the site would i just have to make changes to joomla and it would automatically change the theme in Virtuemart?

    3) I will more than likely be using paypal to accept payments - would i need to install an additional mod or would this be installed with virtuemart?

    4) I will probably be using joomla from fantastico - if i have any problems installing virtumart (and possibly the paypal mod) would anyone be willing to help me :p

    5) If i wanted to install forums does anyone know if mybb works with joomla? I dont know if anyone has tried and i wouldnt imagine there would be anything to stop me but its worth just checking.

    Thanks in advance for anyone that can help

    Cheers
    Tony

    dont use fantistico if you are running a store. it might expose confidential info.

    Im curious about MyBB and Joomla too, although fireboard seems popular within the Joomla community.

    Ive decided to go with cubecart instead. Joomla did everythign i wanted and i had no problems with th script/software but the lack of shop skins make me decide to go with something else - i would imagine in 12 months when there are more themes avaialble for virtuecart it will be good
