How are you calling the partial macro view?

@Html.Partial("PARTIALVIEW", YOURBASKETMODEL)

Thanks Tobias, that looks like it's probably the answer, but I'm still having some trouble passing the correct model through unfortunately!

My Header script looks like this:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{
    @Umbraco.RenderMacro("Basket", "BasketModel")
}

And my Basket.cshtml partial looks like this:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<Merchello.Bazaar.Models.ViewModels.BasketModel>
@using System.Web.Mvc.Html;
@using Merchello.Bazaar.Models;
@using Merchello.Core.Models;
@using Merchello.Web;
@using Umbraco.Web;

@{
    <a href="@Model.BasketPage.Url">Basket (@Model.CurrentCustomer.Basket().TotalItemCount)</a>
}

This gives the error "The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.PartialViewMacroModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Merchello.Bazaar.Models.ViewModels.BasketModel'."

Can anyone spot what I've done wrong?

Kind Regards

@pronto - You should be using

 @Html.Partial(

rather than

 @Umbraco.RenderMacro

Hey Rusty,

Thanks for the reply, I've tried your suggestion but the same thing happens!

Is there a way to retrieve the basket + contents from any partial view macro? I installed the Bazaar store on a pre-existing dev site so I've been having difficulty trying to call Merchello on my non-Merchello pages. Any advice?

Kind Regards

@pronto could you try something like this?

var basketUmbracoNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(BASKETNODEID);
var basketModel = new BasketModel(basketUmbracoNode);
@Html.Partial("BASKETVIEW", basketModel)

I didn't tested the code... but I think it should look kinda like this.

Hey Tobias,

I managed to pass the correct model through to my basket partial thanks to your code! But for some reason when I call the @Model.CurrentCustomer.Basket() method, I get the following error:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: customer at Umbraco.Core.Mandate.That[TException](Boolean condition, Func`1 defer) at Merchello.Web.Workflow.Basket.GetBasket(IMerchelloContext merchelloContext, ICustomerBase customer) in c:\Working Repositories\GitHub\Merchello\src\Merchello.Web\Workflow\Basket.cs:line 107

I feel like I'm close but it's driving me crazy! Can anyone offer some advice?

Kind Regards

@pronto

My guess is you've included this code in a view where the CustomerContext is null. If you swap out

 @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<

with

 @inherits Merchello.Web.Mvc.MerchelloViewPage<

I bet it kicks.

MerchelloViewPage

  var customer = CurrentCustomer;
  var basket = CurrentCustomer.Basket();

Hey Rusty,

Thank you so much man, that's exactly what I needed. Keep up the good work!

is working on a reply...
