My PHP skill is pretty rudimentary -- I'm usually able to reverse-engineer working PHP code but I'm coming up empty when trying to get it to work in this case.
What I'm trying to do is take the information stored in some Virtuemart Custom User Fields I've created and have them display for that user in a module in the right column of the site, globally (whether or not the user is a virtuemart area of the site or not.)
The store I'm building out is for schools -- schools that have a set mascot, color palette, motto, etc.. These items would be included on the products they order (though not all). The module displaying that data would be a visual reminder of how their product will be handled (color-wise, most importantly) without the need to enter in their color selections with every single product order. It doesn't interact with virtuemart at all other than just displaying the custom field data from the form.
I customized the custom user fields to include a checkbox color picker and it's working wonderfully, so that part is all set. Now I just need that data to display in a separate module (just the text of the color, not necessarily the color itself.)
Getting the module to display for the user I don't forsee as a problem -- I was planning on running the custom script (if it's not an actual Joomla module itself, which would be amazing!) inside the
Jumi 3rd party module and then limit the visibility of the module to its intended user via the
Advanced Module Manager. A roundabout way of doing it, to be sure, but I'm not sure of any other options without a completely custom-built module. (Which I'd be willing to pay for if it works as intended.)
