Hello,
In the admin create order screen, is there a way to indicate on the search results if an item is locked or hidden?
Thanks

Hello,
This is something that would need to be customized. By default you can only tell if an item is locked / hidden by viewing the category it is in.

I'm fine with customizations, I just don't know what to look for or what to change.

Are you interested in see if the product is public, private or hidden? If you're okay with a numerical representation, it's a pretty easy change. Looking at the CreateOrder2.aspx page, look for the FindProductSearchResults gridview control. Inside that control you'll find this code:
Code: Select all
<asp:BoundField DataField="Sku" HeaderText="SKU" SortExpression="Sku" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
Change it to this:
Code: Select all
<asp:BoundField DataField="Sku" HeaderText="SKU" SortExpression="Sku" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="VisibilityId" HeaderText="Visible" SortExpression="VisibilityId" />
And the search results will display the VisibilityID.
0 = Public
1 = Private
2 = Hidden
If you want the actual words you'll need to create a function in the code behind page that returns the correct text when you pass in the VisibilityID.
The function would look like this:
Code: Select all
protected string GetVisible(object dataItem)
{
Product product = (Product)dataItem;
switch (product.VisibilityId)
{
case 0:
return "Public";
case 1:
return "Private";
case 2:
return "Hidden";
default:
return "Unknown";
}
}
and the gridview code would change to this:
Code: Select all
<asp:BoundField DataField="Sku" HeaderText="SKU" SortExpression="Sku" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Visible" SortExpression="VisibilityId">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="center" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="VisibleLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# GetVisible(Container.DataItem) %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Is that what you are trying to do? Or hopefully it will at least point you in the right direction.

Thank you! This is exaclty what I needed.
If you want the backstory: We sell pet food. Each bag comes in 3 sizes. Our POS syncs each product to AC, which results in each size of food having its own product. For most foods, I have made a product that puts those 3 sizes as 3 variants and locked the original products. When I search for a food to add to an order, it will be much easier to tell which product to select now.
Again, thanks!
