Custom fields of type plug-ins do not work any more. Don't know when it stopped working, but in subrelease H and I it does not work.
Tried both upgrading a site where the custom fields works fine in 2.0.2 and a new fresh install where I added a new custom field.
It did not work in any of them. Not in 2.0.3H and not in 2.0.3I
The custom field type I tested was plug-ins - VM Custom - customer text input
On the products detail page, only the title is shown, no input field.
Other Custom fields works fine, it is just the type:plug-ins that do not work any more.
Edit: Forgot some info: Joomla 2.5.4, Vm 2.0.3 I, PHP 5.3.10
Just fixed :-)
Where can I find the fix? Will there be a version J?
Was a little HTML/JS error.
YOu must install svn to download, or get it form github at https://github.com/VirtueMart/virtuemart
YOu must then decompress all in the joomla root directory(NO Guaranty for it to work but must if you do it corectly)
THe offical release come next days ...
version J or directly 2.0.4
Unfortunately this still do not work in 2.0.3 J
The output is now
cust plugin title
Price: No additional charge
cart attr custom plugin
on the products details page.
No input text field where the custom can input the data.
For which plugin? Do you really use the latest version? sometimes it happened also to us that we accidently used an old prior installed one.
The plugin used is VM Custom - customer text input
Yes, I use the latest version. It is upgraded from 2.0.3 i to 2.0.3 J
Will make a fresh install later and test (if you think that it is a problem when having upgraded from 2.0.3 i)
The reason is that I just fixed it for j version and tested it, so I am surprised, yes.
This is the error I get in the log with the 2.0.3J upgraded from 2.0.3i:

edited to includ both error lines
As you can see, the include is trying to get the file /plugins/vmcustom/textinput/textinput/tmpl/default.php
There is one /textinput/ to many
Will now make a new fresh install again and see what happends
I have now made a fresh install of J2.5.4 and VM 2.0.3 J
Added the custom field and a new product using the custom field
It still do not work. It works fine in 2.0.2 but not in 2.0.3 J
The missing part is the input field. The input title is there but not the text input field
And the error-log shows the same error:

As you can see, it is looking for the dir: /textinput/textinput/ instead of only one /textinput/
Yes it is the double textinput/textinput. Ive changed it in components/com_virtuemart/plugins/vmplugin.php and it seems to work now.
I would like to add that when the custom text is added tot the cart, the title isnt displayed in both the cart and the order confirmation.
The path is correct, comes from the new feature of overriding plugins. We are just testing the next release. The error was a wrong packaging of the aio.
The path is fixed now in 2.0.4 stable. Thanks!
But still the title of the custom text input isnt showing in both cart and order confirmation.
For 1 custom text it isnt a big problem. The only thing is when I add severall custom text inputs, the user (and me) might get confused by all the different inputs.
Any chance you guys add this feature in one of the next releases.?
ahhh, you mean this one. Hmm,.. in fact you can use the order of it. But it is not a nice solution, right. Should not be too hard to add it, but I see it as feature request, not bug.
