Add fields in Ask A Question

[franz]

Hi, I'd like to add some extra fields in ask a question form. I've read other topics about this but they're all for VM 1.x. Infact on VM 2 I can't find the file ps_communication. Anyway, can you tell me what's the procedure to add fields?
Thank you

I have the same question.

In the old Virtuemart is easy to add new fields.

The Steps

This is how I got it to work.

Edit: administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/shop/english.php

At line 70

Add: 'PHONE_PROMPT' => 'Enter your Phone Number',


Edit: components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/pages/shop.ask.tpl.php

At line 32

Or where you want your phone field to appear.

Add:

<label for="phone"><?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHONE_PROMPT') ?></label>
<br /><input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" size="50" class="inputbox" value="">
<br /><br />

Edit: administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.ask.php

At line 80

Add

'phone' => $phone,


Edit: administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_communication.php

At line 156

Add: $phone = $d['phone'];

At line 157

Change to: $subject_msg = vmRequest::getVar( 'text', '', 'post', 'phone' );

At line 205

Add: 'phone' => $phone,


Edit: components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/order_emails/enquiry_email.tpl.php

Add: <?php echo $phone ?>


New Virtuemart 2.0

Edit: language/en-GB/en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini

Add: COM_VIRTUEMART_ASK_PHONE="Enter your Phone Number"

EDIT: components/com_virtuemart/views/askquestion/tmpl/form.php

where you want your phone field to appear.


         <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_NAME')  ?> : <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"/></label>

                                   // Add  "phone" When sending the message //

                echo $this->comment. "<br />";

                ?>

            </td>

Please help me to add new field in "Ask A Question"

What other files need to edit?

[ekc_maga]

Hi, I also want such customization, any updates on this ?

Thanks!

[rodrigo-fuchs]

I am also facing the same problem in virtuemart 2.0, one could evaluate a solution for this?
This field is very important to shop around, but I could not build something and did not find any solution in the search.
Does anyone have an idea to finish the code?

Also need to edit the file com_virtuemart/views/askquestion/tmpl/mail_raw_question.php

<?php

echo JText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_WELCOME_VENDOR', $this->vendor->vendor_store_name) . "\n" . "\n";
echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_QUESTION_ABOUT') . ' '. $this->product->product_name."\n" . "\n";
echo JText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_QUESTION_MAIL_FROM', $this->user->name, $this->user->email) . "\n";
echo $this->phone. "\n";
echo $this->comment. "\n";


Problem solved, the phone appears in the e-mail notification.

PS: It is important to check what files virtuemart is calling when loading the form. In my case, he was calling the folder template \ html \ com_virtuemart

I'm posting this because I have not found anything on the internet, if you had your problem solved sends a post, thanks!!

rodrigo-fuchs,

if you are a coder,
instead of hacking the "core"


Why not, add the form field.

Then, join the "phone", and "question" into the same string?

Hi BanquetTables,

I'm not a programmer, working with webdesign.

I tried this way but could not.

You seem to have advanced knowledge in this field would help as would be the final code for this solution?

Thanks for the suggestion!

[bugmenot]

great work rodrigo-fuchs, I think that you should just correct the 4. group of changes. Namely, I think it is just a copy/paste error and it shouldn't be:

               echo JText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_QUESTION_MAIL_FROM', $this->user['name'], $this->user['email']) . "<br />";
               
                echo $this->phone. "<br />";
                echo $this->comment. "<br />";
                ?>

but

function renderMailLayout() {
   $this->setLayout('mail_html_question');
   $this->comment = JRequest::getString('comment');
   
   $this->phone = JRequest::getString('phone');

in view.html.php

Greets!
