Ad Button To Ventdor Panel for link+username ?? was created by alexmartin

How to add image to a Vendor Panel and link that image to Vendors directory/ category?

Every vendor user name became his directory. Like

When Mikle Smith registered on the joomla he automatically gets his own directory to store his product inside
mywebsite.com/by/ directory in his folder named after his username Mikle-Smith:

mywebsite.com/by/Mikle%20Smith
or
mywebsite.com/by/Mikle-Smith

So , I guess it is probably possible to add new image in the Vendor Panel that let that vendor see his own store directory.

The link from the image should be: mywebsite.com/by + USER NAME

Question:
1) How to create that link code, or a complete code with image linked to that url
2) Where to place that code to add it to Vendor's Panel and
3) On what line to ad that code please?

Hi,

You can do it thanks a view override (or a custom plugin).
By overriding the view "frontend | your_frontend_template | vendormarket | cpanel" you can modify the content of the variable "$this->buttons".
The idea is to add a new button in the array.

Code:

		<h2><?php echo $this->vendor->vendor_name; ?></h2>
<?php
//---- Begin a sample code ----
$this->buttons['my_store'] = array(
	'url' => hikamarket::completeLink('vendor&task=show&cid='.$this->vendor->vendor_id);
	'icon' => 'icon48-mystore',
	'name' => JText::_('MY_STORE')
);
//---- End of sample code ----
foreach($this->buttons as $btnName => $btn) {
	if(empty($btn))
		continue;

The other way is to use the trigger

Code:

onVendorPanelDisplay(&$buttons, &$statistics);

Which allowed you to access and modify the $buttons array, like in the view (but without having to override the cpanel view).
Sample here : www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...onVendorPanelDisplay

Could yo please specify more precise how should I use example line

'url' => hikamarket::completeLink('vendor&task=show&cid='.$this->vendor->vendor_id);

for my url:
mywebsite.com/by
- should it be

' mywebsite.com/by/ ' => hikamarket::completeLink('vendor&task=show&cid='.$this->vendor->vendor_id);

or it should be

From your example:

//---- Begin a sample code ----
$this->buttons = array(
'url' => hikamarket::completeLink('vendor&task=show&cid='.$this->vendor->vendor_id);
'icon' => 'icon48-mystore',
'name' => JText::_('MY_STORE')
);
//---- End of sample code ----

Hi,

None of them.

"completeLink" is a function which generate you a link (a complete link, with SEF, etc).
If you want to have a nice SEF link, you have to use an "Itemid" and a specific menu (a vendor listing menu is better).
Like :

Code:

$this->buttons = array(
   'url' => hikamarket::completeLink('vendor&task=show&cid='.$this->vendor->vendor_id.'&Itemid=42');
   'icon' => 'icon48-mystore',
   'name' => JText::_('MY_STORE')
);

If HikaShop and HikaMarket are configured to generate SEF and "Remove products and categories id in URLs", you will have a nice SEF url with the name of the vendor.
See : www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ig.html#features_sef

Menu edition (work the same in HikaMarket) : www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...shop-menus-form.html

More than providing an URL, you have to be sure that the url is working and will display a good content ; that is one of the goals of the function "completeLink".
The code I gave in my previous post is a working code, that you can use directly ; the rest is just to configuration/adjustments.

Hi,

I am sorry but I don't understand your message.
I don't know what button you are talking about, what you are trying to achieve and what is the article.

Hi,

The url type is : index.php?option=com_hikamarket&view=vendor&layout=show&cid=VENDOR_ID&name=VENDOR_NAME
The "name" is optional but it allow to have nice url using the Joomla SEF router.

Otherwise, HikaMarket have some functions to get the vendor_id from another id (like the Joomla user id).
You first need to load the HikaMarket helper and then call the HikaMarket vendor class.
Here a complete code to generate a full and SEF url (with right menu id, etc)

Code:

$joomla_user_id = 0; /* This variable must contain the joomla user id */

// We load HikaMarket is not
if(!defined('HIKAMARKET_COMPONENT')) {
	$filename = rtrim(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR,DS).DS.'components'.DS.'com_hikamarket'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'helper.php';
	if(file_exists($filename)) include_once($filename);
}

$vendor_url = ''; /* This variable will contain the link to the vendor page if the vendor exist and his published */

// We check that HikaMarket is right loaded
if(defined('HIKAMARKET_COMPONENT')) {
	// We load the vendor based on the joomla user id
	$vendorClass = hikamarket::get('class.vendor');
	$vendor = $vendorClass->get($joomla_user_id, 'cms');

	// We check that the vendor exist and is published
	if(!empty($vendor) && !empty($vendor->vendor_published)) {
		$app = JFactory::getApplication();
		$marketConfig = hikamarket::config();
		$stringSafe = (method_exists($app, 'stringURLSafe'));

		// Get the vendor alias to have a nice url
		$vendor->alias = (empty($vendor->vendor_alias)) ? $vendor->vendor_name : $vendor->vendor_alias;
		if($stringSafe) $vendor->alias = $app->stringURLSafe(strip_tags($vendor->alias));
		else $vendor->alias = JFilterOutput::stringURLSafe(strip_tags($vendor->alias));

		// Get the HikaMarket default menu, to have a nice SEF url
		$url_itemid = $marketConfig->get('vendor_default_menu', 0);
		if(!empty($url_itemid)) $url_itemid = '&Itemid=' . (int)$url_itemid;
		else $url_itemid = '';

		// Generate the url
		$vendor_url = hikamarket::completeLink('vendor&task=show&cid=' . $vendor->vendor_id . '&name=' . $vendor->alias . $url_itemid);
	}
}

It will see to add a function in the HikaMarket helper in order to generate these url easily.
