Implemented new restriction parameters provided by the VirtueMart core to our native payment plugins PayPal, Amazon Pay, Sofort, Authorize.net, eWay, heidelPay, Klarna, Skrill, 2checkout and Realex The latter also received a general update and has been renamed to 'globalpayments' because it  was acquired by Global Payments Inc. some time ago.. There is a slight change in the handling of pending orders. The new procedure is described here: https://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts/215-checkout-process.html

New Features

enhanced or changed behaviour

Bugs

  • Fixed missing array key in getPayment

  • fixed overwrite prices in Paypal Express. Invalid token set the cart paymentmethod always to 0, even when paypal was not selected

  • The vmplugin onStoreInstallPluginTable had replaced a $name against $this->name

Completed

Of Interest for developers

  • Important fix in cart helper function checkAutomaticSelectedPlug, the automaticSelected.type variable is now only set to true, if there is only one method.
  • Plugins using the core restriction remove automatically the xml vars with the same name. So we can easily write backward compatible payment/shipment plugins. Please read here http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/development/240-important-adjustments-for-virtuemart-3-6.html
  • In the vmdefines function defines, changed default from site to 0, if 0 is used the appId is taken from joomla

  • For the weight_countries shipment plugin, address type just by STsameAsBT only
  • For function getVendorCurrency added a fallback for empty vendorId and a vmTrace to find the problem http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=141856.msg506893#msg506893
  • Added function getSafePathFor, which gives and if applicable creates a path for a certain topic. Old function checkSafePath now creates automatically the invoice path
