Hi chaps
Can you please briefly clarify for me how this store works in regards to creating, importing and displaying additional information for products.
This relates to a request I submitted earlier about customising the store to require purchasing quantities to fit certain unit sizes. We have done this in our old store by importing a value into a new field and then making the quantity field use that value as a multiplier. We need to do this and a couple of similar tasks again in the new store.
Does the store support this basic concept:
- Importing/bringing in external data such as a text into a new or custom field for product.
- Accessing that data for either display or other purpose in the list and details and other templates, perhaps by way of a token or xml/razor of some sort.
As an example, our external database has a text field containing a delivery due date as free text data in a field. We would display that information on our product pages.
I realise one could use one of the existing rich text fields for this purpose, but I'm still asking if one can create and use new fields, not just existing ones.
I have also read in the knowledgebase about DNN Sharp's My Tokens tool and am wondering if this is an additional or the only option for providing such functionality.
Thanks heaps
Rob
