VehicleManager component support

Hello,

I'm just starting using the boats template.
I can see it's totally designed for Cars. How can I create a length input field for boats?
Also there should be a search field especially for length (from/to).
Hope you can help.

Regards,
Alex

Hello Alex,

We may be not full know some special fields what need for you.

But you may now rename any fields what you have and what may be no need for you. To field what you need.
For that please go to yours language file in folder:
{yours site}/components/com_vehiclemanager/language

also from there are you may set values for every "list box" fields

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick reply

I know that I can rename fields in the laguage folder.
This solves half the question because I also want to search on this new field.

I added a screenshot of the three fields I want to search on.
Hope my question is now a litle bit more clear.

Hello,

You can change with rename full how that field work for every thing. If you need change and how will work search - you wil lneed go to search function, if you wish ful lchange layout you need go to layouts files.

Below Vehicle manager customization manual:

In Vehicle manager you may do that self, or you may hire us for that.

ours component have Open source,

it have two parts admin and frontend.

in admin you will see two files:
{yours
site}/administrator/components/com_vehiclemanager/admin.vehiclemanager.html.php
site}/administrator/components/com_vehiclemanager/admin.vehiclemanager.php


admin.vehiclemanager.html.php - responsible for show data
admin.vehiclemanager.php - responsible for prepare data

exactly for frontend
{yours site}/components/com_vehiclemanager/vehiclemanager.html.php
site}/components/com_vehiclemanager/vehiclemanager.php

vehiclemanager.html.php - responsible for show data
vehiclemanager.php - responsible for prepare data

All connection between what user press in Browser - do wit help TASK variable.

also if you wish all Joomla class methods work. E.g when you create new
Vehicle with help
mosVehiclemanager class. you need also edit file
site}/components/com_vehiclemanager/vehiclemanager.class.php

and add to class definition all new fields what you added to database

for work with review, responsible class from file
vehiclemanager.class.review.php
for work with buy request, responsible class from file
vehiclemanager.class.buying_request.php
for work with rent, responsible class from file
vehiclemanager.class.rent.php
for work with rent request, responsible class from file
vehiclemanager.class.rent_request.php


Most simply way now add new field to vehicle definition - that rename any fields
what you no need with help language file.
{yours site}/components/com_vehiclemanager/language

also with help language file you may change options in all vehicle combobox
(options) fields

Also - any empty fields will not show at frontend

If you need change make/model - you need change below file:
{yours site}/administrator/components/com_vehiclemanager/makers_and_models.txt

Also we added to ours component very many module template positions - so you
may add any module to very many places in Vehicle manager - with help Joomla
module manager

If you give full details what exactly you wish, we will self create that for
you. You may write to Ordasoft support form
