Enable plugins/mambots in product description or flypage?

[ddc441]

I noticed what appears to be a new line of code in the 1.1 version of the shop.product_details page.

Line 109

Code Select Expand

$product_description = vmCommonHTML::ParseContentByPlugins( $product_description );
Does this allow the use of Joomla plugins such as video players, slide shows, etc. in the product description?

I tried some simple plugins but it did work. If this is its purpose, is this feature working yet?

There is a checkbox in the VM configuration called "enable content mambots/plugins in descriptions". Try checking that.

Would someone be willing explain what the limits are to this? Is it just the descriptions or can we place plug-in code into the template files themselves? Also, can I add a plug-in into short descriptions? Example: have an mp3 player for each product on browse pages.

Boy I hate it when I overlook the obvious! I need to spend less time looking at the code and more time looking at the control panel!   

Works like a charm with the 1.5 version of Tabs and Slides.

Go to your VM 1.1 component click on configuration.

Look on the "Global" tab under the heading Frontend Features. It's the first option.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what this feature does.  It seems to me that this would enable any plugin that works with Joomla to also work within the Virtuemart pages.  I am trying to use an inline product plugin; it works in any of the Joomla pages but not with any of the Virtuemart pages regardless if this option is checked or not.

how can I call content plugins in VM product description? Like in this topic here.
