Title: New To Plugins
Post by: Picklehead on January 08, 2023, 18:39:36 PM

Hi,
New to creating plugins and just after a little help.

Have created my xml installation file and my plugin php file and all works as expected.

Also created my tmpl/default.php which all works, but from this file I need to be able to access $this->product->product_box but I cannot seem to get this to work,

I am using

Code Select

boxQ = '.$this->product->product_box.';

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Using Joomla! 3.10.11 and VirtueMart 3.8.7

QuoteboxQ = '.$this->product->product_box.';

is there anything set for $this->product->product_box?

print 'Debug Line '.__LINE__.' $this->product <pre>'; print_r ($this->product); print "</pre><br />\n";

as for the syntax ... echo 'boxQ = '.$this->product->product_box; is that what u mean?

or

$boxQ = $this->product->product_box;
echo $boxQ;

hard to know what your trying to display...

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, under Product Dimensions and Weight i have a value for Units in Box for all products.

My default.php adds a single input box on the product details page as a custom field and on keyup a function is called. I am simply trying to use the value of the product Units In Box for calculations within this function.

I have added an extra field to the params of my plugin as a temporary holder for a Units in Box value to test my calculations and all works exactly as I want.

I just need to avoid having to enter a Units in Box value into the custom field for all products when it already exists on each product

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks again

Chopped abbreviated version of the function

Code Select


$j = 'function setQuantity(myElem,inVal,sVal){

		if(sVal > 0.0){
		    quantity = Math.ceil(inVal/sVal);
		    tempQuant = Math.ceil(quantity / '.$this->params->in_box.');
		    tempOut = tempQuant * '.$this->params->in_box.'
		    quantity = tempOut;
		outQuant = quantity * sVal ;
	}

	myElem.val(outQuant);

	return true;
};

Where '.$this->params->in_box.' needs to be the value of $this->product->product_box

Thanks for the help, I found this worked for me.

Code Select


$productModel = VmModel::getModel('Product');
$product = $productModel->getProduct($viewData[1]->virtuemart_product_id);
