    Get properties of item.

    uCommerce Support

    Hi

    Maybe this is a simple question, but how can I pull out data from a custom property I just made on my default category definition.

    The name of the new property I have made is categoryAreaaHeading.

    I have tried something like this:

    @category.categoryAreaaHeading
@category.categoryAreaaHeading()

    Both without any luck.

    My code looks like this:

    @using UCommerce.EntitiesV2
@using UCommerce.Extensions
@using UCommerce.Runtime
@using umbraco.MacroEngines
@{
    Category category = SiteContext.Current.CatalogContext.CurrentCategory;
}

@category.categoryAreaaHeading

    If somebody can help, the help will be much appreciated.

    Hi Dennis,

    There should be two ways you can access the property:

    var category = SiteContext.Current.CatalogContext.CurrentCategory;

// Access the property by key
var property = category["CategoryAreaaHeading"];
if (property != null)
{
    var propertyValue = property.GetValue();
    @propertyValue;
}

// Access the property using the method
var property = category.GetProperty("CategoryAreaaHeading");
if (property != null)
{
    var propertyValue = property.GetValue();
    @propertyValue;
}

    BTW was "categoryAreaaHeading" meant to be "categoryAreaHeading"?

    Let me know how you get on.

    Tim
