Phoca cart plugins ?

[nordmograph]

Hello

I just discovered Phoca Cart and will try it asap. Looks very promising.

I checked but did not find any info about plugins:
Is it extendable with plugins ?
Does/will it support content plugins , in product description for instance ?
Does/will it support custom fields plugins for products ?
Does/will it support 3rd party payment/shipment methods plugins ?

Let me know and keep up the good work !

Hi, to extend leftdefence answer.

The product description is rendered by:

Code: Select all

$this->item[0]->description

To extend it do accept content plugins, easily change to:

Code: Select all

JHTML::_('content.prepare', $this->item[0]->description);

There are no custom fields for product - for this e.g. description can be used or another field which well be not used (its name will be changed per langauge string ini file easily)

For now there are 2 plugins for payment: cash on delivery and paypal - the code is prepared to accept plugins, so yes 3pd plugins created for Phoca Cart are accepted.

Thank you very much for your replies.
I will give it a try .

When I mentioned custom fields plugins, it would provide more than a simple additional text field. For instance it could provide a latitude and longittude field in the BE and would display a map on the front end product description. It makes the product form very rich and limitless. Well , not a priority but maybe to keep somewhere in mind for the future.

Have a nice Week end !

Hi, yes, I have written it to feature request list. This feature is not so easy as it seems. You can make some specific administration area to create new fields. You can list new fields with their values in frontend too. But you cannot handle them some specific way, example:

- there will be some place where you will be able to define longitude and latitude - you will define them and you will set value for them
- but there will be some common output for all the newly defined fields.

But e.g. you don't need to list:
- Longitude: X.xxx
- Latitude: X.xxx
But you want to display a marker with such coordinates and this even needs to be customized (the output)
