custom field plug-ins - does not get the list of plug-ins

[ydl]

I create a custom plug-in.

The plug-in constructor is invoked BUT non of other functions.

I understood from the docs that I have to define the plug-in in the custom field, so I tried to setup a new custom field of the type plug-ins BUT the list of plug-ins didn't apear

Can anyone point out to a document or explain how to use it?

Thank in advance!

as soon as I install any vmcustom plugin it is available in the customfields "Additional Parameters" if I choose type plugin

is your xml correct

e.g.   <extension method="upgrade" version="1.5" type="plugin" group="vmcustom" >

Now I see it...

I add some "echo" to see if I reach the plug-ins function... only the constructor is reach...

The functions:
- plgVmOnViewCart
- plgVmOnViewCartVM3
- plgVmOnDisplayProductFE
etc.
are never reach !?

Any sugestion how to debug it?

what do u mean reached?

if your syntax is correct the function is triggered when called by the dispatcher

do a general file search for functions

e.g. in customfields  model

if (!class_exists ('vmCustomPlugin')) {
            require(VMPATH_PLUGINLIBS . DS . 'vmcustomplugin.php');
         }

         if ($customfield->field_type == "E") {

            JPluginHelper::importPlugin ('vmcustom');
            $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance ();
            $ret = $dispatcher->trigger ('plgVmOnDisplayProductFEVM3', array(&$product, &$customfields[$k]));
            continue;
         }

When I wrote 'reach' I meant 'trigger'...

What I see now is that the plug-ins functions a triggered in the back-end BUT not in the front-end

Did I missed something?

the FE uses the BE models..

there are some triggers for the FE in the helpers & views FE

just do a general search for "plgVm"

[ydl]

the FE uses the BE models..

I know...

there are some triggers for the FE in the helpers & views FE

I check the plugin that come with the system - 'specification' - I check 'plgVmOnDisplayProductFE' witch exist in the code and added my own 'plgVmOnDisplayProductFEVM3' - none of them reach in the FE

I also put a print in "VirtueMartCustomFieldRenderer::renderCustomfieldsFE" and it does not trigger in FE!!!
