Customer field selection for cart is not working. On checkout page, fields are loaded from registration form, not from checkout option.

Plugins: Payment, Shipment and others / Re: Use vm classes from joomla...

Last post by vmfyelloq19 - April 01, 2025, 23:12:00 PM

Hello ghost, well yes, I know vm classes won't work outside joomla's environment, that's why it's a joomla application. And no, I'm not going to put raw SQL statements anywhere as long as there is any proper way around it.

Anyway, after digging through vmrequest etc., it's working now just fine.

In case anyone else is interested or has some suggestions, here's the code stub, tested on VirtueMart 4.4.4 11101. (Put it anywhere, it does not have to reside in htdocs/cli/)

Code Select Expand

<?php
use Joomla\CMS\Factory;

if('cli' !== php_sapi_name()) die('Go away.');

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Adjust to your environment
define('WEBROOT', '/var/www/webspace/htdocs');

// Init Joomla
const _JEXEC = 1;
if(file_exists(WEBROOT . '/defines.php')) require_once WEBROOT . '/defines.php';
if( ! defined('_JDEFINES')) {
    define('JPATH_BASE', WEBROOT);
    require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php';
}
require_once JPATH_LIBRARIES . '/import.legacy.php';
require_once JPATH_LIBRARIES . '/cms.php';
require_once JPATH_CONFIGURATION . '/configuration.php';
$config = new JConfig;
define('JDEBUG', $config->debug);
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();

global $_SERVER;
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'example.com';
$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] = 'GET';
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = WEBROOT;
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = basename(__FILE__);
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = getHostByName(getHostName());

class MyFancyStuffCli extends JApplicationCli {
    public function doExecute() {
$app = Factory::getApplication('site');

        $this->out('My Fancy Stuff CLI application');
        $this->out('------------------------------');

        // Log in so we have a valid session
        if( ! $app->login([
             'username' => 'username'
            ,'password' => 'so-super-secret'
        ])) {
            $this->out('Login failed. Abort.');
            die();
        }
        $user = Factory::getUser();
        $this->out('Logged in successfully as ' . $user->name . '' . $user->id . ' [' . $user->username . ']');

        // Init virtuemart
        if( ! class_exists( 'VmConfig' )) require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php');
        VmConfig::loadConfig();
        if( ! class_exists('VmModel')) require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vmmodel.php');

        // Init virtuemart security
        $vmtoken = vRequest::getFormToken();
        $app->input->set($vmtoken, 1);
        $app->input->set('token', $vmtoken); // propably redundant

        $productdata = [
            // ...
        ];
        try{
            $product_id = (int) VmModel::getModel('product')->store($productdata);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            $this->out('Error storing product, caught exception:');
            $this->out($e->getMessage());
        }
        if($product_id > 0) {
            $this->out('Stored product with id #' . $product_id);
        } else {
            $this->out('Did not receive new product id. Hu?.');
        }
    } // doExecute();
} // class

JApplicationCli::getInstance('MyFancyStuffCli')->execute();

VM models aren't written to be used outside of Joomla web environment. Because they perform tasks that are really responsibilities of controllers (reading request data, checking authorization). That reminds me of this old post https://x.com/virtuemart/status/661263708346257408.

Plugins: Payment, Shipment and others / Use vm classes from joomla cli...

Last post by vmfyelloq19 - March 31, 2025, 17:02:36 PM

Hello friends,

I'd like to update some products automatically via a custom joomla cli application.
Unfortunalety I did not manage to initialize VM's classes from there.

For testing I added a system plugin triggerd by onAfterInitialise() and used VmModel::getModel('product')->store(). This works as expected as long as I satisfy VMs security checks with a valid admins session and make sure $_REQUEST is populated manually with the VM form token. But CLI applications neither have a session nor $_REQUEST.

Could anywone elaborate on the proper way of initialising VM's classes via a CLI app?

TIA!

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Registration error

Last post by horajbm - March 31, 2025, 09:58:12 AM

Hello,
if I enter an email address that already exists when registering, a complete error message is displayed. Of course, error reporting is disabled in Joomla and VM.

1. Use Captcha
- Enable Captcha in Joomla Global Configuration
- Enable Captcha in VirtueMart Configuration (Shop) *
* Unlike what the label in VM configuration says, it is not limited to recaptcha.
You can use any captcha.

https://extensions.joomla.org/tags/captcha/

My recommendations:
I use Aimy Captcha-less Form Guard: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/aimy-captcha-less-form-guard/
HashCash is back for J5, I used to use it on J3 sites and was also very good: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/hashcash/

2. Enable Registration needs Product in Cart
In VirtueMart Configuration (Checkout) enable Registration needs Product in Cart.
This way only people who want to buy something can register.

Administration & Configuration / stop user registrations spam

Last post by 2cool - March 29, 2025, 08:53:50 AM

Hi recently received many joomla user registrations.
If I disable user registration it also prevents virtuemart shoppers to register.
So I need to keep registration enabled because using virtuemart.
Is there a proper way to fix this?
