You can create your own payment plugin, yes, but we don't have any API documents for it (although it's pretty simple, you can just look at our current plugins code). Same for the integration with your component.

Please reply on the fist part, are there any files to include (and call a function probably that calculates the tax,subtotal etc) in my component to able to create invoices? or just I will add them via sql query (and to have already calculate the vat or check the VAT ID)

Yes in case that I will buy the first plan http://www.joomlathat.com/store/invoice-manager/3-0 I don't have the files to check it. Also I as understand there is not specific documentation. Can you send me after payment an example of integration plugin?

Also my EU VAT ID is not recongnized on checkout... EL048313748 if fill only th 048313748 but says invalid

Thanks for help!

Sorry about this, sometimes the verification server fails. I have created an invoice for you without the VAT: http://www.joomlathat.com/index.php?option=com_invoices&view=invoice&id=22736

I'm wondering why linked contacts can't edited from front-end logged J! user.... There is not such view menu or link somewhere to achive this

Contacts are edited only in the backend, not frontend!

I'm using your component to create unpaid invoice, if are paid via any gateway and status changes from unpaid to paid THEN (only then) it will get the next Real Invoice number, so I'm trying to trigger the event statusChange to able to update the sequence invoice number but I can't find any event on this. Please help!

Second question is about EU transactions. I should add extra code for the the VAT ID vadility if your component it checks uppon invoice creation?

There's no event on this, you will have to "create" it. What I mean is that you need to define this trigger in your component, and then just add this function into the new plugin you're writing for Invoice Manager. do you know what i mean?

Our component does not check EU VAT ID validity at any point. if you want this, it needs to be created as well..

I understand what you said but in this way I can't catch the "statusChange" because for example Paypal will change the invoice from Pending to Paid in the Invoice Manager. This event should be fired inside the payment " function update_payment($payment)" plugin.

My component only sumbits a form that creates the invoice to your component firing a custom plugin event fraudvoiceNeworder()

Example:

	function update_payment($payment){

		JPluginHelper::importPlugin('System');

		$dispatcher = JEventDispatcher::getInstance();

	        $results = $dispatcher->trigger( 'oninvoicestatuschange', array( &$payment) );

              $db = JFactory::getDBO();



		$query = 	' UPDATE #__invoices_payments SET '.

					' payment_type =  "'.$payment->payment_type.'", '.

					' payment_datetime =  NOW(), '.

					' payment_details =  "'.$payment->payment_details.'", '.

					' payment_status =  '.$payment->payment_status.' '.

					' WHERE id = '.$payment->id .

					' LIMIT 1 ';

		

		$db->setQuery($query);

		$db->query();

		

	}

Do you understand?

Do you plan to support some events on your component ? Or I' m losing my time?

Hello!
Happy new year.

I'm not quite sure I understand your question...

I can see you have added a custom plugin fire event inside the update_payment function, which is perfectly good. What is your question, in that case? if we are going to add this into our plugins? (sorry I didn't understand..)

Please focus on my example

I have an unpaid invoice, if status of invoice turned to "paid" (or to other status) for example when paypal notifies back the component and sets the invoice to paid or EVEN manually marked as paid, it should fire an event! That's all because I need to know that.

In other words, if you look on line 103 of paypali plugin

$this->update_payment($payment);

should fire a NEW event

 JPluginHelper::importPlugin('System');

 $dispatcher = JEventDispatcher::getInstance();

$results = $dispatcher->trigger( 'oninvoicestatuschange', array( &$payment,$this->_payment_type) );

$this->update_payment($payment);

All that I'm asking is to fire the new even ON INVOICE STATUS CHANGE (via notify or manual). I don't want to add it myself because everytime is need to apply the changes.

I understand (that's what I was saying!

yes, we can definitely look into this and add some events in the next version of IM. We were already thinking on firing some events
