[SOLVED] new vm userinfo field.

TMadge Topic Author	quick question can we use a field that we've added to the virtuemart_userinfos table with the advanced shipping plugin. Added a field and a trigger on insert/update to calculate our own region areas, hopefully reducing possible 300 line rule to 16 is this possible ?

This functionality is not readily available in the plugin. You can, however, extend the plugin yourself to make this field available (from your post it seems you have some VM coding experience):

In the function addCustomCartValues (class plgVmShipmentRules_Shipping_Advanced in the rules_shipping_advanced.php file for the advanced version; class plgVmShipmentRules_Shipping_Base in the rules_shipping_base.php file for the free version) you can add your own values to the $values hash, which are then made available as a variable in the rules. In that function, you have the whole cart data structure available in the $cart argument.

E.g.

protected function addCustomCartValues (VirtueMartCart $cart, $cart_prices, &$values) {
    $values['coupon'] = $cart->couponCode;
    $values['yourvariable'] = 12345;
}

Of course, the step that might still be missing is how to get the field from the userinfo table into the cart object...

Best regards,
Reinhold
