Hi,
If you wait for our response, just wait ; please do not send a message through the "contact us" form around 5 minutes after your post submission.
Also, please do not send private messages to moderators in order to have an answer to your message.
If you take a look at my signature, you will see:
HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop dev team.
( Also helping the HikaShop support team when having some time or couldn't sleep )
So, there is no need some send me any single private message because it is not my job to answer on the HikaShop forum.
It won't give you a faster answer and receiving such kind of PM does not give me the wish to make a reply at 1AM (and 20min after your post...)
As you might see ; the support team reply to older messages first ; so when I want to help the support team, I start with the older messages. We generally reply under 24 hours.
More than that ; please do not create topic in uppercase, it is consider as shouting and does not give a really good impression.
I hope that I'm clear enough for these points.
Now about your question ; it has been already posted few times in that forum.
And the answer was : that is not currently possible, it requires some modification in the point plugin.
It looks like you found it and I took a look at your modifications proposal.
But regarding the internal code of the plugin ; I'm not sure it will work correctly because there is nothing which will store the value in the user session ; like for the setting "no_virtual_coupon".
As you can see in the function "onAfterCartShippingLoad" of the plugin, the session is read in order to know if the points are used or not. Because customer action can force a reload of the cart and the reprocess of the cart additional ; if you do not keep the custom point value in the session the user will re-use all of his points on next refresh.
Using a specific value of points is already in the HikaShop TODO list ; but such kind of development require time and tests.
It also require a good interface for the customer in the checkout.
And mostly because I'm currently hardly working on HikaShop 3 with the new Cart/Checkout system ; I wanted to wait for the new features in order to perform some improvement on the point system.
Specially because the checkout modules will be able to be "self-sufficient" with ajax submission, etc.
Regards,
