Hi Matt,

All you need is you can find in the TeaCommerce.Data.dll.

For examples on how to use the API you might want to read these blogposts:

How to make a License webshop
Tea Commerce dynamic VAT
Tea Commerce. NET API electronic product example
How to use the Tea Commerce events

Hope that will help you. There's not much you cannot accomplish with the API, and if you find something you can't, feel free to write a new post here.

Thanks Rune,

I've looked through those examples and browsed the TeaCommerce.Data class for its methods but I'm unable to find anything that will give me the price of a product in the current currency.

I haven't actually added any order lines or anything, all I have is the node data for the product I am interested in.

Maybe I'm just being thick.

Thanks, Matt

Ah, sorry about that. In here:

TeaCommerce.Data.Tools.PriceHelper

Theres a couple of very usefull methods there for price formatting. They are all public.

If you need to do it in your xslt's theres a method for it in the Tea Commerce xslt library which is located here:

TeaCommerce.Library

The Tools namespace holds a few other very usefull classes. One of them is the XSLTHelper class which e.g. . have the InvokeXSLT functionality.

Ah, I see how the price of a pruduct is come by using the XSLT libary from this example in the product.xslt example package.

 <xsl:variable name="price" select="teacommerce:GetProperty($variant, concat('productPrice', $currentCurrency/@ISOCode))" />

What I'm struggling to do is figure out how to do the same using the TeaCommerce.Data library because the methods do not seem to exist or do I really have to use TeaCommerce.Library methods and all the XPATH stuff within my .Net control?

The XSLT library only wraps around methods in the TeaCommerce.Data classes. Prices formatted with the methods in the PriceHelper class

TeaCommerce.Data.Tools.PriceHelper.FormatPrice
TeaCommerce.Data.Tools.PriceHelper.FormatPriceNoSymbolWithSpecificCulture
TeaCommerce.Data.Tools.PriceHelper.FormatPriceWithSpecificCulture

You can provide a culture or just use the current. They in turn wrap the methods in:

TeaCommerce.Data.Tools.FormatHelper

Ah, I think I need to step back a bit. How to I get the price to pass into one of those methods?

Effectively what I'm trying to do is something as simple as this:

//Get product node
umbraco.NodeFactory.Node currentNode = new umbraco.NodeFactory.Node(1172);
//Get price of that node
String price = <some TeaCommerce method to get current price of the product node>;

Ok.

Document doc = new Document( 1172 );
string price = TeaCommerce.Data.Tools.PriceHelper.FormatPriceWithSpecificCulture( decimal.Parse( doc.getProperty( "productPriceUSD" ).Value.ToString() ), "en-US" );

Actually you could do it with the Razor library only

TeaCommerce.Razor.FormatPrice(string price)

That would use the currentCurrency automatically.

Sorry about that. First thought of it now. Better late than never :)

Cool, now that's the kind of thing I was looking for. :)

Cheers,

Matt
