So I've been tasked with getting a custom item field value displayed on an item in the cart of a site-builder site.
I have experience with SCA but not so much when it comes to site builder. I can see how templates are put together and how to display data in these templates.
I can also tell that it is possible to add or remove field sets from the cart in the 'Set Up Website' tab.
Another thing to note is that the Live Hosting Files are empty.. which is where I would have expected to find the scripts that would create the cart.
So my question is, how do I either create a new row in the 'Set Up Website => Cart' tab to display this new custom field. Or where can I find and edit the template/script that creates the cart?
Any help is appreciated!
Is this the old SiteBuilder Cart or from the new SiteBuilder Extensions? If so, which version? The old, original SiteBuilder Cart is really difficult to add customizations such as a custom field. I would do it by running an AJAX call on a SuiteScript to get the needed data that write it into the cart cell. It was a hack but at least I was able to customize it.
The SB Extensions work a lot like SCA, and it what to do depends upon the version. If it is only for the cart, then just extend Item Keys Mapping and then it will be available on the template file. If you also need it on the cart summary in the checkout then, see SuiteAnswers for the specifics for the various versions.

I want to add an entity extension to a customer in shopware 6. I was able to do so with the examples in the documentation of shopware on the PHP side and now I wonder how to display and modify this new "field" in the shopware 6 backend.
I searched a lot and also tried to find a simple plugin where I could get some inspiration from, but unfortunately I'm not able to find.
So again the question đ Is there any simple example on how to add an entity extension for customers with field in the admin of shopware 6? Or an example plugin, where I can see how it could be done?
What you're (likely) trying to achieve would be the combination of multiple separate tasks.
If you want to store data in the database you'd need a new custom entity
If you want to associate the new entity with the customer you'll need the entity extension
You'll need to add a new field in the administration
I've linked to examples respectively, but you'll probably need to take the time and invest in studying the documentation regardless.
I also created an example plugin that combines all these steps and adds a new entity with a height field as association to the customer and displays the field in the administration. You can find the repository here.
Not sure if you considered this, but depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the simplest way is probably adding a custom field (this can be done progamatically or even via the admin panel).
The drawback is, that those fields' values are stored as JSON and it has drawbacks when you try to search through them.
I need to create list of products (with details like date of orders, etc). But I want to also add files for each product, like order document, leaflet, etc and of course I want to have possibility to filer/group by files. I try to create column with files in, but I fail. Maybe I can link somehow documents from Library to items in list?
Can someone help me?
thanks
I got the feeling the best solution to use here would be document sets. It is both for SP onPrem and online
Basically a document set is like and item with metadata and a folder for files at the same time.
Update1
for SharePoint Online (onPrem the steps are very similar, just the look and feel is different)
go to sitcollection features and activate document set feature.
go to content types settings in sitecollection settings and create a new content type
when creating content type make the content type inherit from document set content type
then add some columns (like text fields, datetime pickers etc. whatever is needed, You may also have status column)
after that in the document library You want to use the document set go to list settings and in advanced settings turn on content type management
add the new document set content type (You may also add this ct as default one)
when adding new item select the new content type. You will have the new form with all the defined columns, In the item You may add files like You would add them to the folder. Being in the item You may see the properties in the right property pane
I hope this solution is what You need :). I think it is the best OOTB solution that I can think of for Your problem.
Update2

Hi
I have not using any shopping cart module, just created a content type (product) and defining several field(attribute) for each product feature.
I want to ask is there any module in Drupal for product comparison or field comparison?
Thanks
No, but there is a way to do it with the Flag module and Views. It will take more work than just turning on a module, but the outcome is the standard product comparison you're looking for. See this article.
The article is no longer online: here the content of the original post.
Ubercart Product Comparison
For me, using Ubercart in Drupal as an e-commerce solution for your website is the way to go. I have been using Ubercart for years now for a number of web design and development projects, and there are a massive amount of contribute modules to beef it up. One feature that I have been keen to work on is a Product Comparison feature, which would allow users to select products and have them display on a page, providing them with a nice and easy layout to easily compare their selected products.
After searching around the web, I found a few articles and posts from people looking for this feature, asking how it could work or if anyone had done it, but couldnât find anything that said âhere it is, this is how it can be doneâ. So, after a little bit or research and a bit of a play, I have come up with a solution which is not that difficult to achieve and only requires some already existing Drupal modules with just a few tweaks.
Note: This tutorial assumes that you already have a working ecommerce site with Ubercart installed. Best to also try this on a test environment and not a live website.
Step 1. Download Required Modules
Download, install and enable the following modules.
Views (I used 6.x-2.11, I havenât tested it with any other releases)
Flag (I used 6.x-2.0-beta3, I havenât tested it with any other releases)
Step 2. Flags configuration â Setting up your âcompareâ
Once you have enabled the Flags module, go to the flags administration page at /admin/build/flags.
Click the Add link, enter the name of your flag (something like âcompareâ), and leave the flag type as ânodeâ, and submit.
On the next screen you will need to configure your new flag. Complete the following fields (changing the values if you like). I setup my configuration so only registered users of the website could compare products.
Title â Compare Products
Flag link text â Add to compare
Flagged message - [title] has been added to your compare
Unflag link text â Remove from compare
Unflagged message â [title] has been removed from your compare
Flaggable content â Product
Check âDisplay login link for anonymous users.â and for anonymous link text add â[login] to add to your compareâ
For flag access, check flag and unflag for authenticated users
Under Display options select âDisplay link on node pageâ and âJavaScript toggleâ as link type
Click submit to save your flag.
With the settings we used, the âflag link textâ should now display on your product nodes. Clicking it should make the âflagged messageâ appear and the link changed to your âunflag link textâ using JavaScript.
So what we are doing here is just flagging nodes â itâs actually pretty simple. We are flagging/unflagging them as âcompare productâ, so you should now be able to (by clicking on the link provided on your products) add and remove products to compare on your website.
Now we have done this, we need to create a page to display our âflaggedâ products, in which this case is the products we want to compare.
Step 3. Creating out Compare Products Page
Go to the Views Administration page, enabling the Flag module creates a default flag view. You can use this as a reference, or even change this view to what you need, itâs totally up to you. All we need is a view with (at least) the settings explained below.
DEFAULTS
Basic Settings â Use at least the following settings
Title: Product Comparison
Style: Table
Items per page: Unlimited
Access: Authenticated user
Empty text: Full HTML
- You have not yet added any products to compare. Click the âAdd to compareâ link when viewing a product to add it to this page.
Relationships
Add the following relationship:
Flags: Node flag
- label: compare
- check âInclude only flagged contentâ
- flag: select the flag you created in step 2
- by: current user
Fields â You can put whatever fields here you would like to show up against each product. You must include the Node Title, and ideally you would want to show a thumbnail of the product, its price and description and the unflag link to allow users to remove it from this page. I have the following fields for my compare:
Content Image using an imagecache, linking to product
Node: Title linking to product
Flags: Flag link
- Relationship: select the one you added
Product: Sell Price
Node: Teaser
Filters
Node: Published Yes
AND SAVE
Now add a new page display view and give it a URL, then save. Navigate to your new compare page using the URL you entered. If you havenât âflaggedâ any products yet, go do so and once done you should see those products displayed on your Compare Products page!!!
But, there is one slight issue. Because we needed to use Style: Table to get the layout to better suit a compare list, it still doesnât display it the way we need it too. We want to display each of the products horizontally, with each field label shown on the far left so it is easy to compare our products. To do this we need to retheme the table style for our view.
Step 4. Theme the table output of the view
Under Theme: Information for our view, it displays a list of all the possible templates for the display plugin and for the style plugins. Look for the list titled Style output. This is what we want. It lists the possible templates we can use to change the theming of the style output. The first one it displays is the generic template for the table style output but we donât want to use this one, because if we do we could effect any other table style view that may be on the site. So best to use the next one across, mine was called views-view-tableâflag-compare.tpl.php.
Create a new php file and name the file to the template name you want to use. In my case my file is named views-view-tableâflag-compare.tpl.php.
Paste the Drupal 6 code from here http://drupal.org/node/174578 into your template file.
Then place the file in your themes directory â and presto! Your comparison table should be laid out more like a comparison style grid. Below is a screenshot of what my Comparison page looks like after a little bit of extra styling.
Try this module: https://drupal.org/project/comparison
Allows the comparison of the attributes of two or more nodes by generating a table. A checkbox is added to nodes to allow them to be included in the comparison. If two or more nodes are selected a link is added to a page with a comparison table.
Lets say for example, I have a list of products that each have it's own page... in what way can I create a single page that will list each product as it's contents as a list (with hyperlinks)? Not really sure how to do this directly in Orchard - or will I need to create a custom page / widget? Thanks for any help... new to Orchard and not sure how to tackle this.
You have a couple options. I believe the Orchard gallery at orchardproject.net has a module called Simple Commerce that may solve your problem. (it's simple so it might not)
(In the following section, I've tried to boldface the terminology words that are 1) are crucial to understanding how to use Orchard and 2) helpful in finding your way around the dashboard)
Another option may be first creating a Content Type--probably one named Product with some Fields describing an individual product. Price, SKU and description come to mind, but you'll be better able to describe your own products. Each Content Type in Orchard can be associated with any combination of Parts. You may have to research which ones you actually want for an individual product, but I'd recommend:
Body (this could replace the Description I suggested above) You could include any amount of HTML/script in this section to make your individual product pages look fancy!
Common (this has to be added when Containable is used)
Containable (this will allow the items to be listed)
Route (so you can link to a specific product)
This gives each product its own slug (URL)
Tags (to allow products to be categorized)
Now, you need to create a new List from the dashboard so you can display the products together (and inherit other features like pagination, etc). Be sure to select the Product Content Type in the Contains drop down list.
Then, you can start creating your Content (your Products) one by one. In the dashboard, click the new Product item and describe each new piece of Content.
Finally, you can link directly to this new List using the Products List's *slug*. You could (and might want to) add the Products List to your main navigation menu. Clicking the Products List and checking the "Show on main menu" box will automagically add a navigation button directly to this page. You could, of course, link to this List from anywhere using the slug (also found on the list's edit page)
This page, from the Orchard documentation pages describes more things you can do with a list of content like modifying the layout of the list, placing content fields in different places and even converting your products to widgets which you could use to display some promotional product offering in a special spot on your site.
I highly recommend reading through at least the documentation provided on the Orchard site to get a good grasp of what this CMS can do out of the box and what you would need to write custom code to accomplish (which you could do in this case, but Orchard can handle it out of the box)
Hope this helps!
Two ways to do this:
http://orchardproject.net/docs/Creating-lists.ashx and http://orchardproject.net/gallery/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Contrib.Taxonomies
I have a list with the fields: Title, Client, Project, Description.
There is a view for analysts with the fields visible: Title, Project, Description.
All is fine so far as the analysts work with their views and not with the lists. But when they need to modify the records clicking on Edit, they see and able to modify the 'Client' field too.
How to prevent 'Client' field to be available for editing by the group? is there a way in WSS or I need to look for 3rd party list components?
All fields have a set of properties that determine their visibility in forms, such as "ShowInNewForm", "ShowInEditForm", and "ShowInDisplayForm". There's also some for the file dialog, the list settings page, and a few other places, but that's getting past it. Short answer, yes, you can make the field not show up in the edit form with WSS without needing any 3rd party components.
If you need a field that cannot be seen in the Edit Form by anyone (that is, no one should be able to have it in their form), then you need to modify "ShowInEditForm" to be true. This can't be modified directly through the SharePoint UI, but it is extremely simple using the object model.
If you need certain people to edit it at some point through the SharePoint UI, then you'll instead have to create a custom edit form. That's a bit more complex, so I'll hold off on providing that instruction unless you state you need to go down that route (or someone else passes by this answer and requests it). Nevertheless, it is fully possible with WSS 3.0.
EDIT
If you know already know how to insert inline C# code into an ASPX page, you can perform this very simply using SharePoint Designer. First, follow the instructions from this article, especially make sure you don't delete the default list form web part. Now, in the custom list form you added, make it include every field which anyone will be capable of editing. The last step is to make the form hide those fields for certain people. Let's default them to Visible=false, and flip this switch if the user is allowed them. You can do this either by checking if the current user is part of specified groups, or by checking if the user has a certain permission level only held by people of those groups. You'll basically write some code like the following, I'll use checking for a specified group as the example.
using (SPWeb web = this.Web)
{
SPUser currUser = web.CurrentUser;
string[] listOfGroups = { "Group1Name", "Group2Name", "Group3Name" };
foreach (string groupName in listOfGroups)
{
if (currUser.Groups.Contains(groupName))
{
//Repeat this for each Control, refer to them by their ID. For example, this is for a control with the ID txtTitle.
txtTitle.Visible = true;
}
}
}
If you don't know inline code, you'll have to write a custom ASPX page with a code-behind. Copy EditForm.aspx into a new file - you should do this after setting up a Custom List Form as per the article. You could also build a new ASPX page from scratch, but make sure you include all of the necessary Content placeholders for SharePoint pages. Now, the page currently inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage. We need to create custom code that inherits from that class, and change the page to inherit that new custom code instead. In the custom code, override one of the OnLoad or OnInit methods, and include your check for the user's permissions there as detailed earlier. Compile the code, deploy it to your SharePoint server, and it should be functional.
If you want to set fields hidden or display them in new form or edit form page of the list...
Go to the list settings.
In Advanced Settings, enable "Allow management of content types"
By doing so, you will get a List name Link on the List Setting Page.
Open the link and select the fields that you want to hide or uhide using add or remove option.
After saving this, again disable "Allow management of content types" in Advanced Setting...
Thats it :)))
