displaying Virtuemart products with Widgetkit anywhere on your site and
product detail images replaced with Widgetkit gallery or slideshow, either by using the [wkvm] plugin code in your product description or through the provided field $this->product->wkvm in your layout (sample layout is provided in the samples folder which you can copy to your SITEROOT/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default_images.php.

You don't need any additional knowledge to get this going:

install and activate the plugin located in the system folder
go to the Widgetkit component and click on "Use Virtuemart"
you will be presented with the already familiar options of:
- which products to select from Virtuemart
- how to display the selected products in Widgetkit

Layout overrides

there is a default layout template provided in layouts/item.php. You can customize that layout to your liking. Best practice for such customization is through override. You can copy that file to your templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/plg_widgetkit_virtuemart folder (you probably need to create that folder yourself).
the products layout can vary based on product, product category or simply generic one that applies to all by applying the naming conventions below:
- i<virtuemart product id>.php - product specific layout
- c<virtuemart category id>.php - category specific layout
- item.php - generic layout

Virtuemart products module (included in your Virtuemart installation) must be installed but not necessarily activated
