In Umbraco I have created a Document Type called "Shared Option Image" which has an image picker.
In Merchello I have set "Product Option Content Types" to include "Shared Option Image".
I have created a shared option e.g. colour (just an example), and assigned images yellow.jpg, green.jpg and blue.jpg.
I have created a product, assigned it some shared options and can see the variants.
In code, how do I access the "Shared Option Image" content type data of the option for a product. I have:
var merchello = new MerchelloHelper();
var productQuery = merchello.Query.Product;
var product = productQuery.GetByKey(productKey);
var productOption = product.ProductOptions.FirstOrDefault();
You're getting hung up on an API that I'm slowly trying to obsolete - productQuery is returning ProductDisplay and you want IProductContent.
Try:
var product = productQuery.TypedProductContent(productKey);
var productOption = product.ProductOptions.FirstOrDefault();
foreach(var choice in productOption.Choices)
{
var image = choice.GetPropertyValue("image");
}
FYI - We're working on cleaning these up and making that portion of the API much cleaner.
Thanks Rusty, however your example may not be correct?
This line won't compile
var image = choice.GetPropertyValue("image");
'ProductAttributeDisplay' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyValue'
Your way is better than mine if we can get it working - I just got this far to get the image ID.
var product = product.AsProductContent();
var option = product.ProductOptions.FirstOrDefault();
foreach (var choice in option.Choices)
{
foreach (var prop in choice.Properties)
{
if (prop.PropertyTypeAlias.Equals("ImageFieldName"))
{
var imageId = prop.Value;
// get the image URL
// TODO:
}
}
}
As a side question ,which part of my original example are you trying to make obsolete? The whole MerchelloHelper Query or just the GetByKey method?
I apologize, your correct - the ProductOption collection is another place where we could not make changes immediately due to too many breaking changes.
// use the new "Options" collection
var option = product.Options.FirstOrDefault();
Also, we're going to hopefully move the .AsProductContent() extension internal in V3 as it can circumvent the caching ... so try to stick with the Query.Product.TypeProductContent(productKey)
I am working on something very similar, I have added images with some JS and hidden the dropdown lists to allow the user to click on an image to select size and colour.
This all works perfectly however I can only get it to work on 1 product at a time. My site is based on 3 products and they all have similar product choices size and colour.
If i build the project the first product i click on after the build (locally) will show the image selection but the other 2 products wont.
I need all 3 to work but cant understand why only 1 will work at a time.
