Hi Imar,

CartV2 adds two new tags to shipping methods...

Ecom:Cart.ShippingMethod.Price (with price extensions)
Ecom:Cart.Shippingmethod.IsSelected ("true" or empty - just the way we like it)

The FeeFree tag has not changed though. But wouldn't it make more sense if the tag returned the actual amount entered in the field "No fee for purchases over"?

We can use Ecom:Cart.ShippingMethod.Price.IsZero to check if there is a fee.

Hi Morten,

Yeah, I had seen those tags. Unfortunately, I am stuck with V1 one at the moment as I have to rely on a payment gateway for V1 and we're close to the dead-line.

Any other ideas? Is this is extensible somehow?

Imar

I guess you would have to implement an OrderTemplateExtender and render your own version of the shippingmethods loop... or use an XSLT template.

Or if you like to experiment... you can combine V1 and V2 :)

Yeah, lots of options.... I ended up with this for the time being:

if (Order.StepNum == 3 && renderingState == TemplateExtenderRenderingState.Before)
{
 Template shippingTemplate = template.GetLoop("Shippingmethods2");
 ShippingCollection shippers = Shipping.getShippingmethods(Order.CustomerCountryCode);
 foreach (Shipping shipper in shippers)
 {
  shippingTemplate.SetTag("Ecom:Cart.Shippingmethod.ID", shipper.ID);
  shippingTemplate.SetTag("Ecom:Cart.Shippingmethod.Name", shipper.Name);
  shippingTemplate.SetTag("Ecom:Cart.Shippingmethod.Description", shipper.Description);
  shippingTemplate.SetTag("Ecom:Cart.Shippingmethod.PriceOverMaxWeight", shipper.PriceOverMaxWeight);
  shippingTemplate.CommitLoop();
 }
}

However, things would be a *lot* easier if Dynamicweb added the PriceOverMaxWeight tag to the static RenderShipping method of the Renderer class:

template.SetTag("Ecom:Cart.Shippingmethod.PriceOverMaxWeight", shipping.PriceOverMaxWeight)

It should probably be rendered using Renderer.RenderPrice so you get stuff like VAT and currency code as well.....

Nicolai: does this sounds reasonable or is there a reason that PriceOverMaxWeight is missing?

Kind regards,

Imar

Hi Imar

Do not see any reason. I've added the rendering of the PriceOverMaxWeight as a priceinfo.
