Adding trigger on "Ask a question" feature

[JeremyAcy]

Hello VirtueMart team,

I'm using Joomla 3.4.1 and VirtueMart 3.0.9.

I'm one of the AcyMailing developers, and one of our clients asked us if we could modify one of our plugins
so that it would automatically subscribe someone using your "Ask a question" feature, even in "guest" mode.

Would it be possible to add a trigger in the "mailAskquestion" function of the file components / com_virtuemart / controllers / productdetails.php (passing at least the email/userid of the user)?
Or in the "renderMail" function of the file components / com_virtuemart / helpers / shopfunctionsf.php (passing at least the email/userid of the user and the "$viewName")?


Thank you!
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy.

Yes, we can do that. I suggest the trigger at line 150 controllers/productdetails.php function mailAskquestion

Code Select Expand


$type = 'system';
JPluginHelper::importPlugin ($type);
$dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance ();
$dispatcher->trigger ('plgVmOnAskQuestion', array($VendorEmail, $vars, 'productdetails'));


something like that. Please contact me in skype, thank you.

My idea for the moment

Code Select Expand


JPluginHelper::importPlugin ('system');
JPluginHelper::importPlugin ('vmextended');
JPluginHelper::importPlugin ('userfield');
$dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance ();
$dispatcher->trigger ('plgVmOnAskQuestion', array($VendorEmail, $vars, 'productdetails'));

Hi, is that all the code we need for this to work?

[Milbo]

Use this version here http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files vm3.0.9.4

To be more specific in my question, is the new code just on productdetails.php?

[Milbo]

the trigger at line 150 controllers/productdetails.php function mailAskquestion

...I can't get it to work. Is this limited to VM 3 only?

Do I need the full acymailing plugin installed or is the free version enough? My email address doesn't get logged into the acymailing table of "users"...
