Get selected option in Shopping Cart

Evine Beursken asked on February 28, 2017 11:09

How can I access the selected color (which is an option) from a product?

What I have so far is:

OptionCategoryInfo category = OptionCategoryInfoProvider.GetOptionCategoryInfo("WalletColor_1", SiteContext.CurrentSiteName);

ShoppingCartInfo cart = ECommerceContext.CurrentShoppingCart;
foreach(var c in cart.CartItems)
{
    productImage.ImageUrl = c.SKU.SKUImagePath;
    if(c.SKU.SKUOptionCategory != null)
    {
        //how can I get the selected color here?
        productColor.Text = c.SKU.SKUOptionCategory.CategoryName; 
    }
        productQty.Text = "test";
}

This code is in my ascx.cs file (a custom web part) to make sure the shopping cart shows a picture as well as the selected color of the product and the amount.

Any idea how to solve this?

Kentico actually stores Product Options as SKU's and hence it can be a little complex, however, I use the following function which returns the SKUID that defines the Option for which you can then get the SKUName which should have the color:

public static int GetOption(int skuid, int optionCategoryId)
{
    // get the variant options for the item
    var options = SKUInfoProvider.GetSKUs().WhereEquals("SKUOptionCategoryID", optionCategoryId);
    int optionSkuId;
    try
    {
        optionSkuId = VariantOptionInfoProvider.GetVariantOptions()
                        .WhereEquals("VariantSKUID", skuid)
                        .WhereIn("OptionSKUID", options).FirstObject.OptionSKUID;
    }
    catch //TODO: narrow down general catch
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("The product specified does not represent an option in the category.");
    }
    return optionSkuId;
}
