Use this method to add a none VirtueMart module into a custom fields position

STEP 1 - Create your module
Using Joomla module manager create your module you require and set it with a new unused module position - to do this just type any name into the module position field and press enter (as example ill use "cfmod1")
Now set this module to show on all pages
Save your module and rememeber the module title (for example i have used "cfmod1" again)

STEP 2 - Create the custom field
Go to the custom field manager in VirtueMart
Click "NEW"
select custom field type as "Textarea"
fill out the options as required
In the default value field paste this

replace cfmod1 with the module position you created when creating your module.
In the layout position field insert "ontop"
Save the Custom Field

STEP 3 - Add the field to your product
Go to your product manager and select a product you wish to show the module on
Go to the Custom Fields tab and select the custom fields dropdown and choose the custom field you just created.
You should now see the text area load below with the code already inserted

Thats it your module should now show on your product page directly below the short description

use layout position
ontop = below the short description
addtocart = below the price
normal = below the description

onbot = at the bottom above related products

You may need to check in VirtueMart configuration, under the shop tab that the option "Enable Joomla Plugin" is enabled.

If you require admin/vendor to receieve a notification email each time someone uses the Notify Me option when a product is out of stock then follow these easy steps below.

STEP 1 - Open your hosting file manager or FTP.
Locate the following file at this address
"public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/waitinglist.php" and open it.

STEP 2 - Find this code near the end of the file

return $_id;

}

}

STEP 3 - Now add the following code directly above the code mentioned above 
Add this code

     // Send admin (vendor) notification email
     if ($_id) {
         $productModel = VmModel::getModel('product');
         $product = $productModel->getProduct($data['virtuemart_product_id']);

         $vendorModel = VmModel::getModel('vendor');
         $vendorEmail = $vendorModel->getVendorEmail($product->virtuemart_vendor_id);

         $subject = "New Stock Notify Request: " . $product->product_name;

         $body = "A customer has requested a stock notification.\n\n"
               . "Product: " . $product->product_name . "\n"
               . "Product ID: " . $product->virtuemart_product_id . "\n"
               . "Category ID: " . $data['virtuemart_category_id'] . "\n\n"
               . "Customer Email: " . $data['notify_email'] . "\n"
               . "User ID: " . $data['virtuemart_user_id'] . "\n\n"
               . "This means the product is currently out of stock and a user wants to be notified when it returns.\n";

         $mailer = JFactory::getMailer();
         $mailer->addRecipient($vendorEmail);
         $mailer->setSubject($subject);
         $mailer->setBody($body);
         $mailer->Send();
     }

TO CLARIFY - Your ending of the file should look like this.

$field = $this->getTable ('waitingusers');

if (!$field->bind ($data)) { // Bind data

vmError ($field->getError ());

return FALSE;

}

if (!$field->check ()) { // Perform data checks

vmError ($field->getError ());

return FALSE;

}

$_id = $field->store ();

if ($_id === FALSE) { // Write data to the DB

vmError ($field->getError ());

return FALSE;

}

     // Send admin (vendor) notification email

     if ($_id) {

         $productModel = VmModel::getModel('product');

         $product = $productModel->getProduct($data['virtuemart_product_id']);

         $vendorModel = VmModel::getModel('vendor');

         $vendorEmail = $vendorModel->getVendorEmail($product->virtuemart_vendor_id);

         $subject = "New Stock Notify Request: " . $product->product_name;

         $body = "A customer has requested a stock notification.\n\n"

               . "Product: " . $product->product_name . "\n"

               . "Product ID: " . $product->virtuemart_product_id . "\n"

               . "Category ID: " . $data['virtuemart_category_id'] . "\n\n"

               . "Customer Email: " . $data['notify_email'] . "\n"

               . "User ID: " . $data['virtuemart_user_id'] . "\n\n"

               . "This means the product is currently out of stock and a user wants to be notified when it returns.\n";

         $mailer = JFactory::getMailer();

         $mailer->addRecipient($vendorEmail);

         $mailer->setSubject($subject);

         $mailer->setBody($body);

         $mailer->Send();

     }

//jexit();

return $_id;

}

}

Tha'ts it go and test your notify form and see if you receive an email.
