Hello,
I'd like to add some extra fields to fill in my configuration of a custom field. For example the string. How can I add some extra fields to this plugin/module/component?
With Joomla its as easy as changing the XML file of the module. But I cannot find it for Virtuemart.
check textinput customfields plugin in the folder

I dont think you understand. I'd like to add a extra field in this screen:

For the vmcustom textinput I am pretty sure that is the place to start. For your plugin you have to search for the .xml file for Your plugin. This is the .xml file textinput .

But it's not the textinput. It's the "String" or the "Boolean" custom field type...
That is another cup of tea. I do not think they are overridable, but I have not made any inquiries about this. You have to start a new vmcustomplugin or copy a existing one.
It is hard to see what you want to accomplish that can not be done with a new vmcustomplugin.

You re right i could use another plugin, but i'd like to use the existing ones. I find it weird, I searched the a dministrator and the normal components folder but I cannot find anything regarding these custom fields. It shouldn't be that hard adding another field right?
You cannot add additional fields to the core plugins without hacking them.
The only viable alternative is to create your own plugin.

I understand, but that is something I'm willing to do.
Also, if I want to make an exact copy of the core plugin, I kinda need to know where the code is so I can copy it right?
