Virtuemart handle custom form and validate before add to cart is allowed

[Phil147]

hi,

I'm running Joomla 3.51 and Virtuemart 3.09

I've created a form in html and placed it with product using a custom product field. The custom field type is editor to allow me to place the html code.

I need the form data posted with php code and once the form is submitted execute add to cart code for the product.

Any ideas how to do this? Has anyone done something similar?

You can do something like this using JS... You can call you function on AddToCart button click and once done... Let it do the VM AddToCart Post... Or do both simultaneously.

I found the function addtocart with JS in the file cart.php
/**
* Add the product to the cart, with JS
* @access public
*/
public function addJS() {

Can I add code addJS() to the end of my form so when the form is posted it executes add to cart using addJS()

Also what code is needed after add to cart function to return to product detail page?

No you cannot do this simply. This requires coding by a professional with experience in VM and PHP and Javascript
