Multiadd Product Flag

[lesliekirk]

I'm trying to get the Product Custom Field to display on a Product Multi-Add Display page. This code will display the class but it's not displaying the custom field (it should display SALE)

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Product_Code(l.settings:multiprod:code , 'product-flag', l.settings:multiprod:prod_flag)" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:multiprod:prod_flag NE 'none'">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:multiprod:flag" value="'flag--' $ tolower(l.settings:multiprod:prod_flag)" />
</mvt:if>
<span class="flag &mvt:multiprod:flag;">&mvt:multiprod:customfield_values:customfields:product_flag;</span>

I know I must be missing something, I just do not know what

Help, please.

You have two different variables that you are using to call the product flag custom field. In your first one, you are calling 'product-flag' and inside your span you are calling product_flag.

wow leslie, stealing my routine now :)

remember kids always get the habit of using _ in code variable...ALWAYS. (says the person that too frequently doesn't)

So bear with me here. On the Quick View page this works

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Product_Code(l.settings:product:code, 'product-flag', l.settings:product:prod_flag)" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:prod_flag NE 'none'">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:product:flag" value="'flag--' $ tolower(l.settings:product:prod_flag)" />
</mvt:if>
<span class="flag &mvt:product:flag;">&mvt:product:customfield_values:customfields:product_flag;</span>

So of course I "assumed" if I tweaked it a little if would work for the Multiview page. Color me confused now...

So, what is the code for the product flag custom field? Is it product-flag* or product_flag? And is the product_flag custom field assigned in the layout?

*Bad general practice as you know to use hyphens in custom field codes.

product-flag and yup, I know but it's inherited code that I'm trying to make work.




The end goal is to get the two things to happen - get the Flag span class to display and the Flag text

Okay, I correct the Product Custom Field price-flag to price_flag. Did a Template Search and Replace and then went in and reassigned the Custom Field to the templates.

Now back to getting the Multiprod template to work

So since you’ve already called the prod_flag custom field using Read_Product_Code, and you say that is successfully appending the custom field value to the flag— class, could you not just use &mvt:multiprod:prod_flag; to output it inside the span?

(Be kind if I’m missing something obvious, I’m still on my first cup of coffee…)

I'm stuck

 <mvt:if expr="l.settings:multiprod:customfield_values:customfields:product_flag NE 'none'">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:multiprod:flag" value="'flag--' $ tolower(l.settings:multiprod:customfield_values:customfields:product_flag)" />

<span class="&mvt:multiprod:flag;">&mvt:multiprod:customfield_values:customfields:product_flag;</span>
</mvt:if>

This just does not work.

&mvt:multiprod:customfield_values:customfiel ds:product_flag;

When I check the tokens it's empty (well duh).

This just displays flag--
&mvt:multiprod:flag;

It was worth a try. I did but it didn't output anything.

I also went back an looked at the token

&mvt:multiprod:flag; value is flag--

BUT

&mvt:product:flag; value is flag--sale. (which is also what the Multi should be

I think I've gotten stuff really crossed up after too many tries....

Another FWIW - this Multiadd is super custom. After digging even deeper I've discovered that the ability to assign the products is done via a Custom Product field. It makes me wonder if what would appear (to me) to be this custom field within a custom field (and might even be even another layer deeper).

[lesliekirk]

OMG - I got it to work. Just for giggles here's what I did:

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Product_Code(l.settings:multiprod:code , 'product_flag', l.settings:prodflag)" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:prodflag NE 'none'">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:multiprod:flag" value="'flag--' $ tolower(l.settings:prodflag)" />
<span class="&mvt:multiprod:flag; &mvt:prodflag; inline-block">&mvt:prodflag;</span>
</mvt:if>

Yay for getting it working!
