Virtuemart Cheat Sheet

Virtuemart 2.0
Cheat Sheet

Here's a list of?Virtuemart code snippets so that I don't have to search the forums every time I need one!

Virtuemart 2.0

Get cart object

if (!class_exists('VirtueMartCart')) require(JPATH_VM_SITE . DS . 'helpers' . DS . 'cart.php');
$cart = VirtueMartCart::getCart();
.......................................................

Get address in $cart

if($cart->STsameAsBT == 0){
   $address = (($cart->ST == 0 ) ? $cart->BT : $cart->ST);
   }else{
   $address = $cart->BT;
   }
.......................................................

Loop thru products in $cart

$Total_Length=array();
foreach ($cart->products as $product) {
     if($product->quantity){            #only if array contains values
          $Total_Length[].= $product->product_length;
      }
}

.......................................................

Get shopper Group

$userModel = VmModel::getModel('user');

$vmuser = $userModel->getCurrentUser();

$vmgroup = $vmuser->shopper_groups;
//is an array

.......................................................

Typical query

$db = JFactory::getDbo();

$query = $db->getQuery(true);

$query->select($db->quoteName(array('p.virtuemart_product_id', 's.virtuemart_shoppergroup_id')));

$query->from($db->quoteName('#__virtuemart_products', 'p'));

$query->join('LEFT', $db->quoteName('#__virtuemart_product_categories', 'c') . ' ON (' . $db->quoteName('c.virtuemart_product_id') . ' = ' . $db->quoteName('p.virtuemart_product_id') . ')');

$query->join('LEFT', $db->quoteName('#__virtuemart_product_shoppergroups', 's') . ' ON (' . $db->quoteName('s.virtuemart_product_id') . ' = ' . $db->quoteName('p.virtuemart_product_id') . ')');

$query->where($db->quoteName('c.virtuemart_category_id') . ' = '. $db->quote('115'));

$query->where($db->quoteName('p.published') . ' = '. $db->quote('1'));

$query->order($db->quoteName('virtuemart_product_id') . ' DESC');

$db->setQuery($query);

$results = $db->loadObjectList();

print 'Debug Line '.__LINE__.' $results <pre>'; print_r ($results); print "</pre><br />\n";

.......................................................

Has children in loop

function hasParent($pid){

$productModel = VmModel::getModel('product');

$id = $productModel->getProductParentId($pid);

if (!empty($id)){

return 1;

}

so in category view

products.php

after this

foreach ($products as $product ) {

add this

if(hasChilds($product->virtuemart_product_id)==1) continue;

.......................................................

Add product by URL

yoursite/index.php?option=com_virtumart&view=cart&task=add&quantity[]=5&virtuemart_product_id[]=22&quantity[]=2&virtuemart_product_id[]=55
.......................................................

Selectively show custom fields

<?php

#print 'Debug Line '.__LINE__.' $this->guests <pre>'; print_r ($this->product->customfieldsSorted['resources']); print "</pre><br />\n";

if($this->product->customfieldsSorted['resources']){ ?>

<h3>Additional Resources</h3>

<?php

foreach($this->product->customfieldsSorted['resources'] as $resource){

echo $resource->display;

}

</div>

<?php } ?>

Or ->
<?php echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('customfields',array('product'=>$this->product,'position'=>'explain')); ?>

.......................................................

Get a product by id

$productModel = VmModel::getModel('Product');

$product = $productModel->getProduct ($field->customfield_value);

if(empty($product)) return false;

$productModel->addImages($product);

.......................................................

Get currency anywhere

$currency = CurrencyDisplay::getInstance( );

.......................................................

Load helpers etc

<?php
JLoader::register('VirtueMartCart', JPATH_SITE . '/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/cart.php');
JLoader::register('vmPSPlugin', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_virtuemart/plugins/vmpsplugin.php');

$oCart = VirtueMartCart::getCart();
$cart  = clone($oCart);

// Reset all cart items.
$cart->cartProductsData = array();

// The virtueart_product_id. Set your desired product ID.
$product_id = 1;

$cart->cartProductsData[] = array(
'virtuemart_product_id' => (int) $product_id,
'quantity'              => 1,
'customProductData'     => array()
);

// Flag product added
$cart->_productAdded = true;

$cart->prepareCartData();

JPluginHelper::importPlugin('vmshipment');

$shipments        = array();
$selectedShipment = 0;

JFactory::getApplication()->triggerEvent('plgVmDisplayListFEShipment', array($cart, $selectedShipment, &$shipments));

// Print the list of shipment methods.
var_dump($shipments);
?>
