TOPIC: VirtueMart 1.1.x Integration - please advise

Hi,

I read your documentation about plugins for 3RD party components and I think it is not enough for what I try to accomplish.

You see, VM has it's own "comment" system, very old actualy, an I managed to integrate VM with an older free version of JomComment, but when you add new comments for a product, those comments are not visible in backend in VM or JomComment. So now, I am testing an integration with your solution and I require some help.

The JomComment documentation , (but I don't think you need this, it's here just in case).


So, to begin with, lets consider some facts:

-File to edit: /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php lines to modify 348-354
HERE WE MUST REPLACE THE CODE TO CALL YOUR PLUGIN

-VirtueMart has it's own category structure with parent/deep tree capability to handle

I will try this extension right now!
BUT please advise

ok first impresion 3.2.6:
-component is dependent on legacy plugin NO J1.5 NATIVE YET
-there are no tips and no messages while ajax is doing some magic loading
-specific animation when ajax loading content is almost invisible, because is positioned in the head of the comment div;
-adding the comment is too damn fast moving to comment heading, so it would be nice to have a fade effect when the comment appears (I suggest this type of effect from this Ajax Vote here );
-the template is very load, I could help you with that

I'll come back with news

Hi there. So what problems do you have?

Hello Mr. Smith,

Well, I am not a coder and I tryed to build a plugin for VirtueMart using your documentation and obviously is not working. VirtueMart is a big baby that needs a special care .

Tryed with REPLACE trick and didn't work very well, maybe because It has to be called in another way. So I wish you could help with the code.
Thanks for any reply

Well, I have made a plugin once for !jolog. The only thing you have to do is write this to the template:
And of course you need the right queries. Why don't you turn the debug on and tell us what for errors do you get.

ok so if I turn off debug and write here, you will help me?

Danny

Well, I'm trying to help you or?
