Dear Dynamicweb,

 

We are trying to change to the new product catalog viewmodel, where we encounter an issue with this property: ImagePatternImages being empty. We are using Dynamicweb.Ecommerce 1.7.46.

Is seems to be caused by an empty shopid is used to initialize ProductViewModelSettings  - see this screendump: https://www.screencast.com/t/zhS4SZKJ2n.

 

I hope you are able to help me on this one?

 

Best regards, Anders

Hi Anders,

I see that this was broken at some point.

I've created this bug to fix it (subject to name changes): Bug 74450: ProductViewModel does not work with shop-specific stuff like images

Sorry about that.

The only work-arround I can come up with, is to request the same data again with the webapi:

/dwapi/Products/GetProduct/PROD7?LanguageId=LANG1&CurrencyCode=EUR&CountryCode=GB&FilledProperties=ImagePatternImages&ShopId=SHOP1

/dwapi/Products/GetProductList?ProductIds=PROD65,PROD70&LanguageId=LANG1&CurrencyCode=EUR&CountryCode=DK&FilledProperties=ImagePatternImages&ShopId=SHOP1

ShopId can be found like this: PageView.Current.Area.EcomShopId

BR

Martin

Dear Martin,

 

Thank you. We need this in the frontend, so I cannot use the suggested work arounds, but I hope for a quick hotfix to be available?

Hi Anders

We are actually updating and changing the viewmodel quite a bit for the 9.8 release on Tuesday. We are planning to break compatibility because of issues like this and other similar issues because some of the implementation was made a little too fast with too little thought. We are i.e. adding another variant structure to the viewmodel to better support the scenarios we encounter etc.

You might already see some of the changes in the API docs.

The image pattern issue among others are fixed with those changes.

BR Nicolai
