I purchased 1.2 and installed on a client's site. Initially, it looked good, but now that I am starting to configure it, I am running into major issues.

1) The example in the documentation for "Quality" - should read "Quantity" - does not work. I have a test form set to 10 dollars and have the fee formula set to [FORM_AMOUNT]*[FIELD_VALUE]. I set this up as per the documentation and it just doesn't plain work.
EDIT: got it working. The key is to enable FEE FIELD to YES. I also modified the fee formula to be:
[FORM_AMOUNT]*[FIELD_VALUE]-[FORM_AMOUNT]
This makes more sense when,say, ordering multiple tickets to an event. Buy three tickets, and you get 30 dollars. Not 10 + 30 dollars for only three tickets. The documentation should reflect that FEE FIELD should be yes.

2) In the list of features - I read that there is a PMF plugins setting that can be enabled - this option is absent in the configuration settings.

I REALLY need this plugin functionality so that I can write code to translate (non basic, custom) fields from community builder to Forms in order to calculate fees based on membership level.

I don't think this component is ready for primetime. There are a few other minor bugs that I am running across. I will gladly report them if the author responds and is actively working on this component. It has a lot of promise, but there is a lot to be desired.

Hi

For fee field formula , as you can see, It does work as advertised .

For writing plugins for Payment Form , the extension does support plugins . Basically, it supports to events :

- OnAfterPaymentStore (this event is trigged when a payment record stored in the database) .
- OnAfterPaymentSuccess (this event is trigged when a payment success) .

I am working on new verison of the extension (which support recurring payment) . After that, I will prepare detail document about how to write plugins for Payment Form .

For now , you can have a look at this article joomdonation.com/index.php?option=com_co...icle&id=29&Itemid=33

Thanks ,

Tuan

PS : I open for suggestions from clients . So if you found any issues or have any suggestions, please let me know . I work from 8:30 am until 1am next morning, so you can contact me easy via Skype , YM, MSN or Gtalk .

Thanks ,

Tuan

Hi all

I talked to Jason via Skype. He forgot to mark the custom field as Fee Field, so It didn't work. He just changed that and everything works fine now !

Thanks,

Tuan
