Finally! I just found a module that let me load the google analytic plugin. Just one last question.

Whats the php syntax to assign this module to every single page of the site except the checkout page that let user enter credit card?


Thank you!

Hi Will,

the snippets above aren't going to work because $last_step has not been defined.

The exact step that the credit card is requested on will depend on your setup in VM. It's going to be something like checkout.index#4 or checkout.index#3

So try this:

$vm = JomGenius("virtuemart"); // need this at the start of every rule
if ( $vm->check( "pagetype = none of checkout.index#3" ) ) return 184;

If that's targetting the wrong page, try #2 or #4 instead of #3 and see which page the module disappears on.

Also, you could try this rule which will tell you exactly which page type it's on, then you can use this to modify the rule above:

$vm = JomGenius("virtuemart"); // need this at the start of every rule
echo "Page type: " . $vm->info( "pagetype" ) . "<br  />";


Hope that helps,
Stephen

Hi Will,

for reference on the JomGenius system, please check out the pages in the main menu of the site. There are *some* code examples on there, but once you have got the hang of the basic syntax of the statements, then it shouldn't be too hard to find and combine them. JomGenius is important because it allows you to query a lot of the things that go on in Joomla with a fairly simple, standardised syntax.

The other "Recipe" pages are good reference too. You should be able to pick up ideas for how to structure the PHP statements from there.

For PHP itself - I don't have any particular tutorials/web sites to recommend, but you should be able to google for these and find something at your own level and language if necessary.

For MetaMod the main things you want to learn in PHP are:

- how to do "if" statements
- how do do "ands" and "ors" as conditions within the "if" statements
- basic execution flow, e.g. {}, (), return, ";", "if", "case" etc.

Hope that helps,
Stephen
