Shopping Cart custom attribute not accessible

Hello,

We have added some custom attributes to the Shopping Cart via Developement >> System Tables >> Ecommerce >> Shopping Cart. The field appears in the database structure when the website is run, but we cannot access the field via the API. It does not appear in the ColumnNames of the object nor does it return a value via TryGetValue or GetValue.

Does anyone know how to access these new attributes?

Thanks in advance.

RE:Shopping Cart custom attribute not accessible

Hello,

I don't know which exact code you are using but you should be able to access the custom fields in Shopping Cart table via
CMS.Ecommerce.ShoppingCartInfo.GetValue("custom_field")
and
CMS.Ecommerce.ShoppingCartInfo.SetValue("custom_field").

I hope this will help you.

Best regards,
Martin Danko

Yes, that is the code we are using (see below)...

' Get the shopping cart

Dim cart As ShoppingCartInfo = ECommerceContext.CurrentShoppingCart

' Set the shopping cart

ShoppingCartInfoProvider.SetShoppingCartInfo(cart)

cart.SetValue("ArtClubCode", "12345")
Dim strArtClubCode As String = cart.GetValue("ArtClubCode")

Member	DHood-CPUonline - 1/2/2013 11:45:18 AM RE:Shopping Cart custom attribute not accessible I tried restarting the web server and now it is working, so something must have been in a cache? or? I had tried clearing cookies and temp files in IE and that didn't work.


Kentico Customer Success	kentico_martind2 - 1/3/2013 9:41:25 AM RE:Shopping Cart custom attribute not accessible Hi, Yes this can be also a reason. Kentico has its own cache and maybe it was a .NET cache. But anyway, I'm glad that you have solved this with a simple restart. Best regards, Martin Danko
