Documentation for Checkout sequence

[cleoni]

Hello,
I'm developing an ecommerce site with VM 2.6.0 and I'm using a commercial template, very satified with the result so far.

I have been requested to modify the checkout screens a little bit and I am relatively new to Virtuemart coding, so I get easily confused when trying to follow the chain of events, calls and files used to implement the checkout sequence.

The override scheme is clear, just I cannot understand how the code is organized to carry out the task.

Is there any documentation describing the core of the sequence eg. which classes/files control how this sort of "wizard" works until the order is confirmed?


Thanks for any pointers you can share

No doc I know of but the 'magic' is done in components/com_virtuemart/helpers/cart.php, controllers/cart.php and views/cart/view.htnml.php

should you not be using 2.6.10?

Thank you, I'll check out carefully the code there and try to track down all the steps.

I have got this prebuilt template bundled with the 2.6.0 version and i seems that upgrading leaves me with just a plain blank screen... so I'll finish set up the shop first and work on the the upgrade next, who know at that time a new version might be out!

Cheers
