GTIN - Barcode as an available search field

[Doggiefield]

Is it possible to make the GTIN field searchable in the backend of Virtuemart?
I would like to use a barcode scanner to search for products in the backend of Virtuemart.

If I go to Configuration -> Configuration -> tab "Product order settings" there is no option to select GTIN.

I hope someone can help me.

It is certainly possible...

We have made many minor modifications (and some quite major) to facilitate additional search criteria.

The only down side is that you need to reapply the modifications after updating as these are core hacks.

Let us know if you still require this...

the changes need to be done in the product model search queries

Hi Dean,

Since most of our customers like to work with a barcode scanner in their Point of Sale (POS) we got this question from one of our customers.
I will send you an email.

Thanks,

I found an interesting article and example code in (js) that could be implemented as a plugin.

Or you donate the code.
