Greetings,

Is it possible to output a custom property tag in one of the templates?

As of now you can dump all type properties into a template using the[[Product.TypeProperties]] or [[Product.TypePropertiesDropShipper]] tag.

Is there a way to just dump one Property instead of all?

Thanks!

Jay

For our Admin Receipt Templates I want to display just one Type Property that is assigned to that product (example Shelf Location).

So it is just a mod that I will need to do to the system core?

Would it just be an addition to the "Available Tags" on the EmailTemplates_Edit.aspx page?

I know there will be more to it than that but to start :-)

Thanks Aaron!

It might be best to create your own dll, which calls the core functionality plus then add any of your own custom tags at the end of your function. This allows you to upgrade the core without to many issues going forward however you will need to include the reference in multiple pages.

@asherrick
Would it be possible to allow developers to override/extend certain functions such as these going forward? Or alternatively use the workflow, as I end up having to do this for most stores.

Off the top of my head and assuming your willing to go down the IOC route in the core you could have something like a facade for the implementation e.g.


Function ConvertToMailMessage(ByVal o As Orders.Order)
ReplacementTagsGenerator = DependencyResolver.Resolve<IReplacementTagsGenerator>();
return ReplacementTagsGenerator.GetMessages(o)
end Function

you could then have a default implementation with an Overridable Property,

and then you could create a custom class such as

public Class MyCustomGenerator Inherits ReplacementTagsGeneratorr

Protected Overrides Function GetMessages(ByVal o As Orders.Order) As String

''Add custom implementation here
End Function

End Class

Then just change the mapping in an xml file or possible in a help method in the global.asax? No need to recompile the core but you can extend off it?

No, this has not been high on our list as it's easy enough to customize the Core. That said, it is still on our list of improvements to make in the future.
