Pulling Virtuemart Info

Hi,

I've been able to load a list of manufacturers in to my form using this first before showing HTML:

<?php

if (!class_exists( 'VmConfig' )) require(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'components' . DS . 'com_virtuemart'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'config.php');
VmConfig::loadConfig();
if (!class_exists( 'VmImage' )) require(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'components' . DS . 'com_virtuemart'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'image.php');
if(!class_exists('TableMedias')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'tables'.DS.'medias.php');
if(!class_exists('TableManufacturer_medias')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'tables'.DS.'manufacturer_medias.php');
if(!class_exists('TableManufacturers')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'tables'.DS.'manufacturers.php');
if (!class_exists( 'VirtueMartModelManufacturer' )){
JLoader::import( 'manufacturer', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'components' . DS . 'com_virtuemart' . DS . 'models' );
}
?>


Then in a custom code field I use:

<?php
if (!class_exists( 'VirtueMartModelManufacturer' ))
JLoader::import( 'manufacturer', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'components' . DS . 'com_virtuemart' . DS . 'models' );


$vendorId = JRequest::getInt('vendorid', 1);
$model = VmModel::getModel('Manufacturer');
$manufacturers = $model->getManufacturers(true, true,true);
$model->addImages($manufacturers);
if(empty($manufacturers)) return false;
/* load the template */

?>
<?php
foreach ($manufacturers as $manufacturer) {?>
<input type="checkbox" name="input_checkbox_group_artists[]" id="input_checkbox_group_artists_<?php echo $manufacturer->mf_lname; ?>" title="" value="<?php echo $manufacturer->mf_name; ?><?php echo $manufacturer->mf_lname; ?>" class="" >
<label for="input_checkbox_group_artists_<?php echo $manufacturer->mf_lname; ?>"><?php echo $manufacturer->mf_name; ?> <?php echo $manufacturer->mf_lname; ?></label>

<?php
} ?>


The form displays all of my checkboxes, however when I view the results all I get is:
Artists that they are interested in: {input_custom_17}

Any ideas as to why I am not getting the selected info?

I am using {input_custom_17}
in the admin template.

Thanks

Hi,

Please fix the template code, use this instead:

{input_checkbox_group_artists}

The auto template generation is not smart enough to find dynamic fields names🙂

HI,

Wow Thanks a million. I can't believe it was that easy... yet so hard to figure out:)!!

Works like a champ now... however.. is there a way to remove the special characters that come in with the email (array ( 0 => ')??

i.e.

"Please send Them info on: array ( 0 => 'Notification of new works by artists I\'ve selected', )
Artists that they are interested in: array ( 0 => 'DouglasAtwill', 1 => 'PeterCampbell', 2 => 'SilviaDavis', )"

essentially removing the array ( 0=> ', etc?

Hi gamecat2300 ,

Please drag a Handle Arrays action into the OnSubmit event and move it up before the Email action.

HI,

I do have that set up that way. I still get the additional code in the email to admin however.

Hi gamecat2300,

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you may need to switch to the Advanced Wizard to do this; if you want to continue to use the Easy Wizard please make a copy of your form first and add the Debugger action to the copy.

Bob
