I would like to know how to add custom fields to the forms provided for "Call for Price" and "Ask a Question about Product".

Namely, I'd like to add fields such as Company Name, Phone Number, Country, etc.

I was able to accomplish this in the earlier version of VirtueMart, but cannot find the files needed in the VM2.

If anyone knows how or can point me in the right direction, IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thank you in advance,

Carlos

As is do not want to hack in the VM core code, i have solved it this way to add a phone field:
Copy from directory components/com_virtuemart/views/askquestion the files form.php and mail_html_question.php to your template in html/com_virtuemart/askquestion.

In form.php changed the form to:

<form method="post" class="form-validate" action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_category_id.'&tmpl=component') ; ?>" name="askform" id="askform">

  <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_NAME')  ?> : </label><input type="text" class="validate[required,minSize[4],maxSize[64]]" value="<?php echo $this->user->name ?>" name="name" id="name" size="30"  validation="required name"/>
   <br /><br />
  <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_EMAIL')  ?> : </label><input type="text" class="validate[required,custom[email]]" value="<?php echo $this->user->email ?>" name="email" id="email" size="30"  validation="required email"/>
  <br/><br />
  <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOPPER_FORM_PHONE')  ?> : </label><input type="text" class="validate[required,custom[phone]]" value="<?php echo $this->phone ?>" name="phone" id="phone" size="30"  validation="required phone"/>
  <br/><br />
  <label>
    <?php
    $ask_comment 
JText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_ASK_COMMENT'$min$max);
    echo 
$ask_comment;
    
?>

    </label>
  <br />
  <textarea title="<?php echo $ask_comment ?>" class="validate[required,minSize[<?php echo $min ?>],maxSize[<?php echo $max ?>]] field" id="comment" name="comment" rows="10"></textarea>

  <div class="submit">
    <input class="highlight-button" type="submit" name="submit_ask" title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_ASK_SUBMIT')  ?>" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_ASK_SUBMIT')  ?>" />

    <div class="width50 floatright right paddingtop">
      <?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_ASK_COUNT')  ?>
       <input type="text" value="0" size="4" class="counter" id="counter" name="counter" maxlength="4" readonly="readonly" />
    </div>
  </div>

  <input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_product_id" value="<?php echo JRequest::getInt('virtuemart_product_id',0); ?>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="tmpl" value="component" />
  <input type="hidden" name="view" value="productdetails" />
  <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart" />
  <input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_category_id" value="<?php echo JRequest::getInt('virtuemart_category_id'); ?>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="task" value="mailAskquestion" />
  <?php echo JHTML::_'form.token' ); ?>
</form>



In mail_html_question.php at start:

<?php
defined
('_JEXEC') or die('');
$this->phone JRequest::getString ('phone');
?>


And this:
<td valign="top" width="100%">
    <?php
   
echo JText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_QUESTION_MAIL_FROM'$this->user['name']) . "<br />";
   echo 
JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_EMAIL') . " : " $this->user['email'] . "<br />";
   echo 
JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOPPER_FORM_PHONE') . " : " $this->phone "<br />";
   echo 
$this->comment"<br />";
  
?>
