Swift show new attribute instead of product number

Hi,

I want to show 'Art. Ref.' instead of 'Number' for my products at the frontend, so attribute Art_ref instead of Product_Number. How do I do this by adjusting for example the Swift_ProductNumber.cshtml template?

I tried the following approaches to access the Art_ref field, but none have worked:

  • Direct Property Access: Tried @product.Art_ref, but it resulted in an error as Art_ref is not a direct property of ProductViewModel.
  • Tags and GetString: Attempted @GetString("Ecom:Product.Field.Art_ref") and @Html.Raw(@GetString("Ecom:Product.Field.Art_ref")), but these methods and tags were not available in the current context.
  • Access via ProductFields Dictionary: Tried retrieving Art_ref using @product.ProductFields["Art_ref"].Value as string, but the field was either not found or not accessible. 

Could you advise on how to properly access the Art_ref field in this context? Afterwards I have to replace it everywhere, but I want to start at the detail page of a product.

Kind regards,
Caro De Weze

In that template, you can make a change like this:

 

And the code:

string productNumber = product.Number;
if (product.ProductFields.TryGetValue("Art_ref", out FieldValueViewModel? myProductNumber) 
 && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Dynamicweb.Core.Converter.ToString(myProductNumber.Value))){
 productNumber = Dynamicweb.Core.Converter.ToString(myProductNumber.Value);
}

<div class="fs-7 opacity-85 @horizontalAlign item_@Model.Item.SystemName.ToLower()" itemprop="sku">@productNumber </div>

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately the number is still shown and not the ref. Can you please look again?

Kind regards,

It looks right to me. Since I do not have your setup, I cannot test it further. I think you have to fiddle with the template to make it work.

Ensure you use the right system name with the right casing - Art_ref might not be 100% correct.

Hi Nicolai,

The system name is correct:

Is the retrieval of the data different because it is a global custom field?

Kind regards,
