Category Custom Fields UI

[hassonmike]

So I have purchased this item Category Custom Fields UI, but am cant seem to figure out how to get it to display the custom categories. There is no documentation telling how this can be done, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had any success with this, and if so, could provide some steps taken in order to get the custom category fields to be displayed on the frontend.

Thanks

So I got no help from lousy documentation, then their software support suggested hiring a programmer just to use this (then why purchase this software at all!?!?) and nobody here has any experience with this???

You may use Category Custom fields like this

Code: Select all

string customField1=string.Empty;
       CommerceBuilder.Stores.CustomFieldCollection  categoryCustomField=CommerceBuilder.Stores.CustomFieldDataSource.LoadForCriteria("ForeignKeyId=CategoryId");
       foreach (CommerceBuilder.Stores.CustomField customField in categoryCustomField)
       {
           if (customField.FieldName.Equals("CAT_CUST_FIELD_1"))
               customField1 = customField.FieldValue;
       }

Who did you purchase it from?

Judy, I purchased this from plugables.

Ismail, I placed the code into an acsx.cs page but the field still does not show.

Can i create a conlib reference to this? Or am I going about this all wrong? Some clear documentation sure would help.


How would i create a new ascx file containing only the reference to a custom field called "QuickSummary"? Or if there is a better way to do it, please do let me know

Hello,
I have uploaded Control for displaying Category Custom Fields on Category Pages. Just download it and place inside your ConLib folder and use Like this one
[[ConLib:CategoryCustFieldControl]]
