Hi,

I would like to have the eCommerce language id of current site as a global tag like this:

Global.eCommerce.Lang.ID

Thank you :-)

Hi Sten

Can I recommend Razor?

Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Common.Context.LanguageID

Well, you just did :-)

Often changing a "old style" HTML (XSLT) template into Razor is not a simple task. Further more for the customer it may not even be noticed, which gives the situation where he should pay for something he already had...

I however agree with you that switching to Razor gives you Ninja powers. Just thinking: Would it be an option simply to rename HTML files to .cshtml without having to do any change to the template? Would the Razor parser survive that?

Hi Sten

The problem with global tags is that they are a problem if we add too many. Because they are 'eager' loaded and not on demand when using HTML/XSLT templates.

So it is not that we do not want to add it - but it would be a performance problem eventually. And we do not want that!

You cannot just rename a html template to cshtml - or you can, but tags would not work. The filemanager do have a conversion tool though - it will convert most tags and loops, but not conditionals.
