First I\u2019ll try to explain what needs to be achieved. If you have a big online store and you try to remember all your distributors (people and companies which you take your goods from and then you sell these goods to the customers) it won\u2019t be easy. Especially if there are more people working in your online shop. So the issue is that virtuemart doesn\u2019t have distributors support. What needs to be done is write an extension to virtuemart which will add distributors to the menu of modules (manufacturers, tax rates, vendors, ets.).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This extension will allow you to add distributors (like you add manufacturers) and when you are in the product details page you will have the ability to choose the distributor from which this product comes from, the same way like you choose manufacturer of the product.<\/p>\n
So I used the manufacturers extension for base to create this distributors extension. And since I have no idea how to make a real extension which will install automatically I will write the steps here:First I\u2019ll try to explain what needs to be achieved.

1. Add one more menu item to the virtumart menu (virtuemart modules)<\/strong><\/p>\n To do this go to the your-site\/administrator\/components\/com_virtuemart\/header.php and add one more menu item.<\/p>\n Find this code: case \u2018manufacturer\u2019:<\/em><\/p>\n and paste this code before it:<\/p>\n case \u2018distributor\u2019: 2. Create a new table in the DB for example called <\/a>jos_vm_distributor <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I have created a table similar to the on for the manufacturers<\/span>
