Offline Credit Card Processing

[trodat]

Joomla v2.5.7 VM v2.0.12b

I am using the Offline Credit Card processing v1.4 from iStraxx (http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/offline-credit-card-processing-detail).

I set a "Minimum Amount" in the offline credit card method. On the select_payment.php (components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/select_payment.php) I am trying to put a php if statement so that if the cart total is less then the minimum amount, the following statement will echo, otherwise it won't: "The credit card payment option is viewable once a minimum of $20 has been added to your shopping cart."

Can you help me construct the php statement? I don't know what variables to use (Not a php programmer) or is there a better way to handle this?

If you set a minimum amount, the Credit Card option doesn't show if the cart total is below the minimum. I would just leave away the minimum and add a sentence in the Offline Credit Card plugin - 'Payment description' saying "Credit card usage: 20$ Minimum" or something similar. I would expect customers neglecting this to be very rare.

I like (and agree with) your solution, but the minimum is not my decision (just the website designer).

A simple stupid workaround might be to add that Credit Card comment at the bottom of the description field of the last displayed other payment method.

that would certainly work too jjk, thanks. I was hoping to have a conditional statement that would explain why the user does not see the credit  card option, not be seen if the minimum was met, and be 100% sure that all credit cards orders meet the minimum. maybe that's a tall order though.

I was playing with some of the php I found in the select_payment.php file for about 4-5 hours to see if I could get something to work, basically (i think) it checks if there is an array and if so echos stuff... i thought I could alter it but I don't even know what to change:

Code Select Expand

<?php
     if ($this->found_payment_method) {
    echo "<fieldset>";
foreach ($this->paymentplugins_payments as $paymentplugin_payments) {
    if (is_array($paymentplugin_payments)) {
foreach ($paymentplugin_payments as $paymentplugin_payment) {
    echo $paymentplugin_payment.'<br />';
}
    }
}
    echo "</fieldset>";
    } else {
 echo "<h1>".$this->payment_not_found_text."</h1>";
    }
    ?>
