QUESTION 1 I found out that I could add items to the Curl Request that goes to Authorize.net as follows: In authrorize.php in function _loadStandardVars(&$order) I added the following line: That sends my description text through to Authorize.net and displays it on the customer receipt that Authorize.net sends out as well. I need to know how I load variables into a payment plugin from custom fields, so that I can get data from the product, cart, etc. and use them in the payment plugin. I have custom fields in both the Order and the Item tables. QUESTION 2 In function onBeforeOrderCreate(&$order,&$do) the CURL request is built and sent and the response is parsed. I saw that the only the following information was being parsed from the data that Authorize.net sends back: Since there is other data in the Authorize.net response that I want to preserve I added the following lines: I also added corresponding custom fields in the Order table (_hikashop_order in the DB) and I need to know how to populate those fields with the data I get back from Authorize.net. I want to be able to view the data under Orders in the admin and I want the customer to be able to view some of that information on their email receipt and on the order view. In your sample code I have seen the following in the onPaymentNotification(&$statuses) function: Is there some variation of that that I can use to get the custom fields and Authorize.net response data into the orders table in the DB? I have also thought about just using a MySQL query to push the information from the Authorize.net response into the DB, but I'd rather use the functions that are already built into the extension if possible. QUESTION 3 In order to generate an activation key that users will be purchasing through HikaShop I need to do the following: 1) Run a MySQL query on one of my other Joomla tables 2) Use the results from that to query a remote script 3) Take the response from the remote script and load it into the _hikashop_order table, attached to an item. 4) Display the Activation Key that the remote script generated on the Thank You page. I purchased HikaSerial and tried unsuccessfully to create a HikaSerial plugin to perform this function. Nothing I tried would make my pack generator appear or work properly, so I have abandoned that for now. I have viewed the information in the docs on writing a custom plugin, but the documentation doesn't really have enough information about how to get data into and out of a plugin from the main extension, from controllers or from other plugins. It would be really helpful if the documentation was a little clearer about this for those of us that need to make modifications. I also searched the forum, but there is vary little in here about this topic also. I know you guys are great programmers and this is a great extension. I'm hoping you'll be able to assist me in finding the information I need. I will gladly update this post with the solution when I get it working. Thanks in advance for your help.")

Then you could just create a new custom field of that type for the table item (in order to have it on the product page, when the user add the product to the cart) and the selected value would be carried on to the checkout, the order, the email notifications and the invoice. To create such new types of custom field, you can develop a small plugin implementing our Fields API triggers: www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...entation.html#fields You can find an example of such plugin with the latest version of HikaShop, in the folder plugins/hikashop/datepickerfield which adds the "plugin datepicker" type of custom fields in order to be able to create custom fields for date selection with advanced restrictions.

Then you could just create a new custom field of that type for the table item (in order to have it on the product page, when the user add the product to the cart) and the selected value would be carried on to the checkout, the order, the email notifications and the invoice. To create such new types of custom field, you can develop a small plugin implementing our Fields API triggers: www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...entation.html#fields You can find an example of such plugin with the latest version of HikaShop, in the folder plugins/hikashop/datepickerfield which adds the "plugin datepicker" type of custom fields in order to be able to create custom fields for date selection with advanced restrictions.

If this can't be done I'd like to be able to populate a custom dropdown field with the results of a MySQL query so I can have the customer select one of their serial numbers and attach the purchase to that item. One way or the other I need the purchase to be associated with a given serial number of a device that the customer has registered in their profile in the Joomla DB. Thanks in advance for your help.
