Custom Tag for product template

Posted on 27/04/2011 11:38:08

Hi,

2 questions :-)

First, I need to make a custom tag that prints out part of a BOM-group-name. How do you get the value of the current BOM-group in the product-template-extender? Name of the product is this.Product.Name, but i can't seem to get the name of the different BOM-groups of the product.

Secondly if i make a custom tag like this:

template.SetTag("PartlistGroupMinimumValue", "TEST");

In the Product-template i can't fetch the tag if i'm inside the loop. If i'm outside the loop, however, it is no problem.

I hope You can help with the problems :-)

Accessing the BOM

For Each Item As ProductItem In Product.Items
                        If Item.BomGroupID = String.Empty Then
                            'Product
                        Else
                            'Configurator (group of products)
                item.name 'The name of the group...
                For Each prod As Product In Item.Products
                Next
                        End If
                    Next

#2
If the template tag needs to be available inside the loop, put the settag inside the loop also:

Dim Template As Templatev2.Template = ParentTemplate.GetLoop(LoopName)
            For Each thing in thingcollection
Template.SetTag("PartlistGroupMinimumValue", "TEST")
                Template.CommitLoop()

            Next

Hi,

Thanks for a quick reply :-)

It almost works now, but we still have a problem.

The changes we have made now result in Dynamicweb printing out the original loop first (Without our custom-tags set) and then afterwards it prints out the loop again - with our custom-tags set and all normal tags not set.

You can see it here: http://saltogpeber.net.dynamicweb.dk/da-DK/Menuoversigt/Buffet-oversigt/Buffet-1.aspx

The code is here:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using Dynamicweb;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Products;

namespace CustomModules.CustomModules.PriceUpdater

{

public class ProductTemplateExtender1 : ProductTemplateExtender

{

public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template template)

{

Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template temp = template.GetLoop("BOMConfigurators");

foreach (ProductItem i in Product.Items)

{

if (i.BomGroupID == String.Empty) {

// Do nothing

}

else

{

string bomNameTest = i.Name;

string bomNameMinimum = "";

string bomNamePrice = "";

string bomNameMenu = "";

List parts = bomNameTest.Split('[').Select(asd => asd.Trim()).ToList();

foreach (string part in parts)

{

if (part.Contains("minimum:"))

{

bomNameMinimum = part;

bomNameMinimum = bomNameMinimum.ToLower();

bomNameMinimum = bomNameMinimum.Replace("minimum:", "");

bomNameMinimum = bomNameMinimum.Replace("]", "");

bomNameMinimum.Trim();

}

if (part.Contains("pris:"))

{

bomNamePrice = part;

bomNamePrice = bomNamePrice.ToLower();

bomNamePrice = bomNamePrice.Replace("pris:", "");

bomNamePrice = bomNamePrice.Replace("]", "");

bomNamePrice.Trim();

}

if (part.Contains("menu:"))

{

bomNameMenu = part;

bomNameMenu = bomNameMenu.ToLower();

bomNameMenu = bomNameMenu.Replace("menu:", "");

bomNameMenu = bomNameMenu.Replace("]", "");

bomNamePrice.Trim();

}

temp.SetTag("PartlistGroupMinimumValue", bomNameMinimum);

temp.SetTag("PartlistGroupPrice", bomNamePrice);

temp.CommitLoop();

}

Any updates on this, as we need this fixed asap?

Thanks for the help :-)

Is it at all possible to add the tag to the exsisting loop (BOMConfigurators) or do i have to make a new not-standard-ecom loop?

You cannot extend a loop in the product template...

You can make your own loop though.
