Hi,

I'd like to create my own shipping plugin for VM 3 but couldn't find any documentation. Can you help me?

no step by step exists  - just use the bundled weight-country one as your example
It is relatively straight forward if u know php

its easiest to modify one of the existing ones.

I made mine be editing the weight_countries    plugin

AH

What would you like it to do

That might give someone an idea how to help you further

I did the same as PRO and modified the weights countries plugin

That's been my intention - but if I have look at http://extensions.virtuemart.net/shipments there are no free ones. Do I have to buy an extension just to get an example...?

I meant the one that is installed for free with VM.

You will find it in the directory:

plugins/vmshipment/weight_countries

Thanks - I'm going to have a look at it.

Do I have to register my plugin anywhere in the database?

AH

If you build a new one you will need to ensure that Joomla is aware of it

You can check my Free UPS shipment plugin as for example: https://extensions.hoicoimasti.com/products/shipment-plugin/17-free-ups-shipment-plugin-for-virtuemart-3.html
I used default VM weight-country as sample :)
