Hi,
I want to alter order history table. I did the same on my site's older version 1.1.9.
The reason I needed to alter that that "iaox0_virtuemart_order_histories" or whatever that name in 1.1.9 was, I wanted to save tracking number. The number that is issued from Fedex, or usps etc. I couldn't find any otherway to add custom field other than products.
So my question is... will any future update revert back the table structure, and remove all of my data? or my this table will remain in it's form including data.?
Thank you
Updates don't normally modify "new fields" but you cannot guarantee that it will not :-)
I put such things in the "comments" field in VM 1.5 the same field is available in VM3 is "comments"
That is right to put things in comments, but comments usually contains a number of other informations too, so I use to put custom field which further I use to track things within my website for customers.
so doing only in comments is not so helpful unless (created with predefined rule).
Quite simple
The tableupdater updates all columns belonging to the vm core. So when you add a new column it keeps untouched! On purpose for people like you, so go ahead
