Virtuemart Development Example 2
  • VirtueMart 2.0
  • Development 2

Below is a recent example of some of the types of Virtuemart development we do.

This client  ineeded to be able to set up a particular buyer group that other buyers could add their Cart to this buyers Cart.

This Virtuemart development was successfully completed. When a buyer reached the checkout page he could, with a dropdown menu, either checkout to his own account or select a member of the special shopper group to check out his/her order to.
If he chose this option a "Saved Cart" was established under the special shoppers account with all the original shoppers details.

The special shopper is notified by email and can login to the front end to view the orders and either add them to a "bulk" cart order or delete them.
He/she can then checkout in the normal manner - inthe admin area each order is kept separate.

We have now integrated the TaxCloud service to enable the automation of this tax requirement.

AusPost VirtueMart 2.0 Shipping Plugin upgraded for GST handling
  • VirtueMart 2.0
  • AusPost Shipping v1.2.2

Our very popular Australian Post VirtueMart 2.0 Shipping Plugin has just had another upgrade for better handling of GST in the cart.

The AusPost servers return just the gross sum (GST included) for the shipping queries. We have coded an integration that effectively subtracts the GST at the rate entered in your VirtueMart Tax configuration and allows VirtueMart to re-add it in the cart. Therefore the cart display accurately reflects the total GST charged.
This is all selectable in the plugin configuration.

AusPost VirtueMart 2.0 Shipping Plugin upgraded for error handling
  • VirtueMart 2.0
  • AusPost Shipping v1.2.1

Our very popular Australian Post VirtueMart 2.0 Shipping Plugin has just had another upgrade to handle the false postcode failure much better.

Up to now if the customer entered a wrong Australian Postcode the error would be returned BUT the customer could also checkout with the zero postage.
This is because of the way Virtuemart 2.0 handles the returns from the shipping plugins - anything that is not a number or is empty is treated as 0.00.

Virtuemart Development Example 1
  • VirtueMart 2.0
  • Development 1

Below is a recent example of some of the types of Virtuemart development we can do.

This client  is developing a Computer games price comparison site using Joomla 2.5 with Virtuemart 2.0. Each game in Virtuemart is a Parent product and the Children products are the available games for price comparison. Therefore all the children need to be visible on the product page and ordered by price.

This we did by building a new Virtuemart 2.0 product details template and additionally we re-developed parts of the product model to provide the correct ordering.
