Installing DIBS in Virtuemart

I recently was contacted to install the DIBS payment module in Joomla's Virtuemart.

It is actually a very straightforward procedure that the DIBS developers lay out nicely in their help file.

First step is to download the files you need from the DIBS site: http://tech.dibs.dk/toolbox/dibs_standard_shopmodules/ (direct download)

Scroll down to the VirtueMart plugin or choose the above direct download link.

Unzip the files.

Inside, you will find the "docs" folder which contains a readme file which is very well laid out.

Quickly, the steps are:

1. Upload the contents of the module folder to the root of your Joomla installation.
2. Log in and navigate to your Virtuemart administrative page.
3. Select List Payment Modules (under Store) and choose DIBS Credit Card from the list of available payment modules.
1. Tick the box for "Active" to make it active.
2. Change the payment method name to whatever you want the customer to see when they checkout.
3. Code = "DIBS".
4. Payment classs name = "ps_dibs".
5. Payment method type:  choose the radio button for HTML-Form based.
6. Discount = 0.00
7. List Order = 0 (or whatever number you want it to appear as in your list of payment options)
8. Next, go to the configuration page:
1. Open the file, from the archive you unzipped, called payment_extra_info.php and cut and past the contents into the big text area called Payment Extra Info.
2. Enter your Merchant ID
3. Log into your DIBS administrative panel and get your MD5 codes you will need to enter into the MD5Key1 and MD5Key2 fields. 
4. Click save.

That's pretty much it, though you should probably test the module, so choose "Test Mode = Yes" in the above configuration panel and do a quick run through of a purchase on your site.  The test credit card numbers you'll want to use are found here:  http://tech.dibs.dk/10_step_guide/your_own_test/
