    Hey everybody.
    I've been having a blast using AWO. Saves me loads of time and keeps me out of PHPMyAdmin! I did have one question however. I have created a table called vm_messages that displays a user set message about a discounted product. How could I insert a text area into the coupon view to allow for the manipulation of that table? I'd love to keep my coupon process entirely within the joomla admin component and this would really help me out! I have a pretty basic understanding of component structure and how the MVC process applies to Joomla, but any input is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    9600

    I do not understand your question. Can you rephrase it?

    Under the +New Coupon, I just need to be able to add a new field (text area) that will update a table that's specific to my Virtuemart installation.

    When I apply the discount to group (X), I'd like to input a message in a text area that will be inserted into table X, (in this case, one called vm_messages)

    This way, when I apply the discount, a message will appear in my shopping cart for those who are a part of the group discount.

    Thank you.

    Basically, I just need to add a new optional field and query statement.

    there is alot of things involved with adding a new field. but to add the field you can look in awocoupon/coupon/views/tmpl/default.php and for saving awocoupon/models/coupon.php

    I've managed to populate the field in the form (default.php).

    Now if I'm not mistaken, I should be able to define a new function with query statements in /models/coupon.php , something akin to the coupon code if queries within the get entry function?

    I do not understand your question. I assume you figured it out right?
