Need to allow only one product purchase VirtueMart 1.1

[servicefly]

I'm not sure if this can be done, but I would like a User to login and be redirected to a single product based on their login or a coupon? Example: A User logs in and is redirected to photos of their family at a park to purchase as a digital good. A product is listed under the Photos category which is not visible. Then a user logs in with username & password given by park management or a coupon specific to one product. After login or entering coupon they are redirected to product (family photos). That User is the only one who gets to see the product of their family photos.

Hello,

Your needs seem quite specific, I dont think something like that exists.  I think you would require the development of a custom plugin which should be able to handle it.

Hello,

I now this is an old post but as my question is related to this one and couldn't find in the forum any other post for this, so here I am.
What if I just want to let people buy from a only one category? Say I sell shoes and shirts. So if someone bought shoes I don't want people to buy shirts aswell.
Any idea for that? Hope to find a bit of help.

Joomla 2.5.28
Virtuemart 2.6.10

Thanks guys

Not sure if this can do it, but check into it, may be built in:

Thanks seyi,

Yes, I did found that extension but at first glance thought it was not what I was looking for. Been now in contact with them and will come back with any news.

Hi seyi,

Got an answer from daycounts.com but the extension you mentioned doesn't do the trink

Hello,

I created a plugin which automatically excludes selected countries from buying certain products, can be downloaded here:
https://awodev.com/products#plg_vmproductlocexclude

You can alter it to work for your purpose.  In file vmProductLocExclude.php search for the code around line 113

Code: [Select]

<?php
if(empty($cart->BT)) return;
?>
And right before that add this

Code: [Select]

<?php
if(empty($cart->products)) return;

$categories = array();
foreach($cart->products as $product) $categories[$product->virtuemart_category_id] = 1;
if(count($categories)==1) return;

//remove the last item in cart
end($cart->products);         // move the internal pointer to the end of the array
$product_cart_id = key($cart->products);
$cart->removeProductCart($product_cart_id);
JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage(JText::_('Can only purchase from 1 category'), 'error');

return;
?>
Then install and enable.  That should limit purchase of products to exactly 1 category.  Not sure how it would react if your products happen to be in multiple categories though.

Updated solution for Virtuemart 3.

File to edit: \components\com_virtuemart\controllers\cart.php
Modify the function "add".

Code: [Select]

public function add() {
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();
if (VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog', 0)) {
$msg = vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_NOT_ADDED_SUCCESSFULLY');
$type = 'error';
$mainframe->redirect('index.php', $msg, $type);
}
$cart = VirtueMartCart::getCart();
if ($cart) {
$virtuemart_product_ids = vRequest::getInt('virtuemart_product_id');
$error = false;
if (count($cart->cartProductsData) == 0) {
$cart->add($virtuemart_product_ids,$error);
if (!$error) {
$msg = vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ADDED_SUCCESSFULLY');
$type = '';
} else {
$msg = vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_NOT_ADDED_SUCCESSFULLY');
$type = 'error';
}
} else {
$msg = 'One item per checkout allowed!';
$type = 'error';
}

$mainframe->enqueueMessage($msg, $type);
$mainframe->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart', FALSE));

} else {
$mainframe->enqueueMessage('Cart does not exist?', 'error');
}
}
