ProductType custom fields on widget template - Sitefinity - Ecommerce

All Replies

I have created a product type and added custom fields.
I added the Catalog widget to a page, and I click the Edit button to see the widget properties dialog.
I go to the single item settings, and I have created a template there by copy/pasting the "Product Details" template found in the Widget Templates list.

I would like to explicitly reference my added fields on this template but I cannot get it to work.
The template does include a reference to "sf:ProductDynamicFields" and this does display my fields. But I want to have more control than this and explicitly reference my dynamic fields in my template.

In the List Template I can reference my custom field using "< % Eval" syntax but this does NOT work in my single item template.

Please help!

Hello Don,

The ecommerce module still doesn`t support custom fields from new product type to be displayed dynamically in single item settings. Please excuse us for the inconvenience.

I was associating documents to products and saving their guids in the back end and ended up finding a way to use my custom fields in the product details template

You'll need to map a product details template to an external file so you can run code in the code behind. Do that by following Josh Morale's post here, I used option one: http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/joshmorales/posts/11-05-10/mapping_external_templates_for_sitefinity_4_widgets.aspx

Once you are able to get that working, you can query your custom fields using an OpenAccess extension method, this is how I got my document urls:

using Telerik.OpenAccess;

CatalogManager catalogManager = CatalogManager.GetManager();

Product _product = catalogManager.GetProducts().Where(p => p.Title == productTitle.Text).FirstOrDefault();

string strGuid = _product.FieldValue<string>("YourCustomFieldName");

string documentLink = "#";

documentLink = App.WorkWith().Document(new Guid(strGuid.Trim())).Get().Url;

Hope that helps someone.

Hi

Has this moved on in the newer versions of SF, and possible without the customisation?

Thanks

Cheers
