Adding this would not be a problem. I would not give your money out for a hack though. Reason being: When updates to VM are applied, this could (and would) more then likely overwright the altered files, thus needing the code re-inserted with each update (if the source coding were to chage for some reason, the hack might not even work anymore needing someone to recode it). If VM would add the code addition to their source, this would not be an issue then.
God and his Good people make the world go round' .. Not money
This will at least get the BASIC functionality that we need in order to use virtumart until we can ALL move to Joomla+ Magento
QuoteGod and his Good people make the world go round' .. Not moneySure, that's what we've told all of the hapless natives we've conquered. What's a little smallpox and mass starvation when you have us superior god fearing overlords to take care of you?
I agree with FBIX for the most part, although convincing them to add it might not be all that easy...
This was simply an analogy and not meant to upset anyone...one which was actually SUPPORTIVE of the many groups of people that colonial mentality has suppressed.
The point was if you're going to come in expecting/demanding things to happen...either come up with some money and find someone willing, or figure out a way to do it yourself. People don't like other people demanding things from them. The analogy as you mentioned, you did not understand.
The only thing I asked for to be added, is adding a prefix to the uploaded file name.
Like a date or something.
The rest of it should be the same idea.
Adding more features will slow down the convertion to VM 1.1 I think.
I don't mind to bear this first convertion on my own.
I found many solutions on this forum, this is my chance to give something back.
Maybe you can set something up for a better soltution for this hack and collect donations for that.
I don't know when to expect an answer, he is asleep right now and maybe he has other plans this weekend. So it is possible we will now his answer not any sooner as monday. Could be he has no time right now to do the convertion. But let's think positive :)
I'm sorry to report that there is some changes in VM1.1 that complicates the conversion of the hack to VM1.1. In the beta version, the custom attributes is not part of the template system. However, in the release, custom attributes html is done through template.
What this means for the upgrade,
1. We can try using the non-template version of custom attributes. The upgrade is much simpler and probably the cost will not be far from the $120 I have quoted.
2. Complete conversion to the template version. This would mean a major rewrite of the code. This not only involves re-design, re-coding but also extensive time in doing debug and tests. I need some time to make up an estimate for this. Probably the cost will be around $1000.
The drawback of 1 is the hack will not be compatible in style with the rest of vm. Instead of using a template, the html will be hard-coded in php. Otherwise, it should work. If you are still interested, please provide me a vm 1.1 for doing development and testing. This hack should be ready for testing within 1 week.
Quick Question guys.. Would the previously beta hack ( PC configurator) also termed (product configurator) Be a better basepoint to start from with our goals , rather than the custom attributes hack? I am a frontend designer and new to backend stuff so I am admittedly clueless on that.
