Custom VM Shipment Plugin Development

[cmsdev]

Hi, everybody!

Joomla 3.10.11
VM 4.0.6

I'm trying to make my first VM plugin which is intended to add custom field in the cart to chosen shipping method and let user to select pick-up point for the method.

Now I'm trying to start from something but can't get beyond the point of display anything in the cart.

Here's my code at the moment^

Code: [Select]

class plgVmMyShipment extends vmPSPlugin {

    function __construct (& $subject, $config) {
parent::__construct ($subject, $config);
        $this->_loggable = TRUE;
        $varsToPush = $this->getVarsToPush ();
}
   
        public function plgVmDisplayListFEShipment(VirtueMartCart $cart, $selected = 0, &$htmlIn) {

              $my_id = 10;

              $html .= '<input type="radio" name="virtuemart_shipmentmethod_id" id="shipment_id_'.

                            $my_id.'" value="'.$my_id.'">';


              $html .= '<label for="shipment_id_'.$my_id.'"><span class="vmshipment">';

              $html .= '<span class="vmshipment_name"> My Shipment </span>';

              $html .= '<span class="vmshipment_description">';
             
              $html .= 'Test description</span>';

              $html .= '<span class="vmshipment_cost">('.number_format(100, 2, ",", "").' €)</span></span></label>';

              $htmlIn[] = array($html);
             
            return true;
       }

 }

Also I can't get to work vmdebug function or anything else from inside the plugin class functions.

Can you please point me the right direction and maybe suggest what I can do for the start to at least to show something on the cart page? I would be able to do more research if I at least get some visible reaction from the plugin functions.

Ok, guys, I think it might be useful for someone. The cause of zero reaction from plugin's functions is a class naming (noob mistake).

I didn't pay proper attention to the Joomla plugins class naming (plg<PluginGroup><PluginName>) and named the class plgVmMyShipment instead of plgVmShipmentMyShipment.

After that fix I see the reaction from the plugin on the site.
