Bugs in vmextended plugin

[Stephen Roberts]

I've mentioned these before, but I'll summarize here. When developing an extended plugin (and trying to add a custom MVC to the back end) there are 4 things that need to be changed in the code (as of revision 4902):

1. vmextendedplugin.php line 20 change

Code Select Expand

abstract protected $_path = ''; to

Code Select Expand

protected $_path = '';, otherwise we get error "Fatal error: Properties cannot be declared abstract in /Users/stephenroberts/Sites/imd/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/plugins/vmextendedplugin.php on line 20".

2. vmextendedplugin.php line 26 change

Code Select Expand

private $_name = ''; to

Code Select Expand

public $_name = '';, otherwise we get error "Fatal error: Access level to vmExtendedPlugin::$_name must be public (as in class JPlugin) in /Users/stephenroberts/Sites/imd/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/plugins/vmextendedplugin.php on line 110".

3. vmcontroller.php lines 32-33 need to be:

Code Select Expand

public function __construct($cidName='cid',$config=array()) {
parent::__construct($config);

because we need to be able to specify model_path and view_path configuration.

4. vmmodel.php lines 40-41 need to be:

Code Select Expand

public function __construct($cidName='cid',$config=array()){
parent::__construct($config);

because we need to be able to specify the table_path configuration.

I hope to see these fixes in a revision soon. Thanks!

None of these issues have been fixed yet. Can a dev please take a look at them?
