I had created two separate custom field plugins for a specific requirements:

  • creating a customer specific  linkage between another Joomla component item and a specially created VM product
  • passing a customer input text string through the shopping cart into the order e.g. the text to go on a T-shirt
These were working fine in VM 2.0.0 but by the time we got to VM 2.0.2 and final testing they were broken. 

The problem was that  the VirtueMartModelOrders::_createOrderLines method was no longer passing the custom product attributes from the cart to the order  :(

I see that in version 2.0.3h you have reinstate the required code within this method.

Can you please not remove this again  :)

I would like to release this plugin and get users off Joomla 1.5 and this is the main thing holding me up. 

If you can explain what the problem was that lead you to remove this code then perhaps I could do some testing of these problems for you.
