Load mambot (plugins) for Virtuemart (Download)
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.

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)

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'
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
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
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!
Thanks a lot for your help... of course it was as much as I hate to admit it... A USER TYPING ERROR. Thanks again and thanks for your time and contribution to my problem!
Awesome blog!
Also in category descriptions
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!
