Load mambot (plugins) for Virtuemart Joomla

Load mambots into VM product description

Out of a request from a user to allow 1pixelout player to be rendered in Virtuemart product description, I have created a hack. This was only way to load mambots into VM. The great thing about this hack is that it not only allow you to load 1pixelout into description but also any other mambots you have installed.

This hack was created for use with Joomla! 1.0.x & Virtuemart 1.0.12 & 1.0.13a only.

Credits to Greg Perkins.

Installation:

Backup your files
Unzip the file and replace your old files in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/

UPDATE as of 31 Jan 2008

Added Load Mambot for Virtuemart 1.0.14 (For Joomla 1.0.x)

I was trying this hack with Virtuemart 1.1.4 before I found out that there is no need. There is a setting that allows plugins to be loaded in VM - doh!

It is working now!

This hack is no longer required for VM 1.1.x version since there is a setting in the VM config to allow plugins to be loaded in VM.

How do I use it in VM 1.1.0 ? anyone, please....

There is no need for this in

Thu, 31/07/2008 - 05:14 — duvien

There is no need for this in VM 1.1

Look in the config screen for VM 1.1, there is a setting to allow loading any plugins into VM contents.

Load mambot (plugins) for Virtuemart

Hi All!!!

Please sugget me how can I use multithumb or Image simple gallery in VM product description?

I don't know how to call plug-in!

Best,
Konstantin

For 'Image Simple Gallery'

Wed, 05/03/2008 - 16:09 — duvien

For 'Image Simple Gallery' use the tags:

{gallery}folder_to_images/my_image.jpg{/gallery}

Inside the tags should be the path to your folder with the images. You type the tags into your text editor.

Not sure about multithumb as i have never use this mambot but it will be the same process of using a defined tag.

Please see their website for more details.

I must have done something wrong

Mon, 03/03/2008 - 22:24 — Anonymous (not verified)

I gave your VM mambot fix a try and found it seems to be a no go for me.

Installing the script was easy but no mambots worked.

I tried calling them out in the long description and still a no go... maybe I typed the call out wrong or stg.

It's probably more my user error than your script. How should the call out be typed correctly?

Thanks for your time and any help you can offer.

Each mambot (plugins) uses

Mon, 03/03/2008 - 23:05 — duvien

Each mambot (plugins) uses it's own tags, for example - if you are using 1pixelout player, then you'll need to put {audio}your_file.mp3{/audio} and it will be replaced by the mambot and render the actual content that it should shown on frontend of the site.

A quick checklist but by no means complete:

- Make sure you have the mambot activated from the mambot manager.
- Is the mambot properly installed?
- Have you copied the files from this plugin correctly and are you using the right version? if it's for VM 1.0.13, it'll only work for that version.
- Has the mambot been tested on a standard content item and is working before you tried it out on VM with this core hack plugin.
- Try it with the text editor disabled and see if it works.
- Are you sure you are typing in the correct code or tags for the mambot in use? Refer to mambot dev or site for more help.

Got it working!

Also in category descriptions

Mon, 11/02/2008 - 18:13 — jim spice (not verified)

You can also make an additional change in shop.browse.php to process bots in your category descriptions. Mine is modified so I don't have accurate line numbers, but in the section "CATEGORY DESCRIPTION" (around line 100 I'd guess), just before "echo $desc;" add:

//***** start : modifcation for mambot parsing
$plug_row->text = $desc;
$_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$plug_row, &$plug_params ), true );
$desc = $plug_row->text; 
//***** end : modifcation for mambot parsing

I think!

don't work in 1.1.2

Sun, 22/02/2009 - 11:07 — joan (not verified)

Hi,
Thanks for the hack. but it seems that VM 1.1.2 is coded in a different way, doesn't work. Do you have the right code for that version in shop.product_details.php?

Thanks
