Hi, i'm trying to port my currency plugind from VM1.1 to VM2. Readed the code of convertECB.php from VM2 and see no many differences, but when enabling myu plugin, nothing happens. Also can not see my debug strings that my plugin outputs.
Any idea why?
Thanks a lot!
Can you provide more information? How are you building the plugin? Did you select your currency plugin in the VM configuration? Any error messages at a all?
Hi, this is weird.
I'm testing VM 2 on J1.7 and my home test server (XAMPP) on windws XP.
The weird thing is that i change configuration on VM admin page, but config file (virtuemart.cfg) keeps saying "currency_converter_module=convertECB.php".
It seems that VM doesn't save my config
For my plugin, i think that vmlogger has been changed right? What can i do to output debug messages, because rith now my plugin is enables (manually edited cfg) but no conversion at all. So i want to do some debugging
Thanks a lot in advise!

I think VM2 saves your configuration in the database in the #__virtuemart_configs table.

vmdebug seems to be the way to go now, but you'll need to turn on debugging in VM config. You can always go the old fashioned route and use 'echo' or 'print' or even JError.
Ja!, i think I found a bug in VM2 in file .../helpers/currencydisplay.php lines 44-53
In my case, $converterFile got this value from config "converter.php", so, line 44 allways fails, because gets this path ".../currency_converter/converter.php.php"
if (file_exists( JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'plugins'.DS.'currency_converter'.DS.$converterFile.'.php' )) {
$module_filename = $converterFile;
require_once(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'plugins'.DS.'currency_converter'.DS.$converterFile.'.php');
if( class_exists( $module_filename )) {
$this->_currencyConverter = new $module_filename();
}
} else {
if(!class_exists('convertECB')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'plugins'.DS.'currency_converter'.DS.'convertECB.php');
$this->_currencyConverter = new convertECB();
}
Two options, trim the ".php", after getting "$converterFile = VmConfig::get('currency_converter_module');" on line 41, or fix something in config save functions to trim the ".php" part of the filename
Adding this line after lien 41 makes sense!
$converterFile=substr($converterFile, 0, strlen($converterFile)-4);
Just posted a bug report in bug forum
Be advised!
