Custom Control - Product weight

Just want to say that thanks to Paul pointing me in the right direction I have managed to implement the custom weight alongside custom price.
There are actually three files that require editing and for anyone wishing to accomplish the same thing, here are the edits required (changes highlighted):

File name: KartrisClasses.vb
Line No: 783- 789
Code:


''' <summary>
''' Returns the computed weight from the selected options in the control
''' </summary>
''' <value></value>
''' <returns></returns>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property ItemWeight As Decimal

File name: ProductVersions.ascx.vb
Line No: 602
Code:



''' <summary>

''' </summary>

Protected SubbtnAddCustomVersions_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)Handles btnAddCustomVersion.Click
        Dim UC_CustomControl AsKartrisClasses.CustomProductControl =phdCustomControl.FindControl("UC_CustomControl")
        If UC_CustomControl IsNot Nothing Then
            IfUC_CustomControl.ComputeFromSelectedOptions() = "success" Then
                Dim objMiniBasket As Object =Page.Master.FindControl("UC_MiniBasket")
                Dim objBasket As BasketBLL =objMiniBasket.GetBasket
               objMiniBasket.AddCustomItemToBasket(litHiddenV_ID.Text,ddlCustomVersionQuantity.SelectedValue,
                                           UC_CustomControl.ParameterValues & "|||" &UC_CustomControl.ItemDescription & "|||" &UC_CustomControl.ItemPrice & "|||" & UC_CustomControl.ItemWeight)
            End If
        End If
End Sub

File name: BasketBLL.vb
Line No: 1302-1303
Code:



'Handle the pricedifferently if basket item is from a custom product
                Dim strCustomControlName AsString = ObjectConfigBLL.GetValue("K:product.customcontrolname",objItem.ProductID)
                If NotString.IsNullOrEmpty(strCustomControlName) Then
                    Try
                        Dim strParameterValuesAs String = FixNullFromDB(drwBasketValues("CustomText"))
                        'Split the custom textfield
                        Dim arrParameters AsString() = Split(strParameterValues, "|||")
                        ' arrParameters(0)contains the comma separated list of the custom control's parameters values
                        ' we don't use thisvalue when loading the basket, this is only needed when validating the price inthe checkout
                        ' arrParameters(1)contains the custom description of the item
                        If NotString.IsNullOrEmpty(arrParameters(1)) Then
                            objItem.VersionName= arrParameters(1)
                        End If
                        ' arrParameters(2)contains the custom price
                        objItem.Price =arrParameters(2)
                        'just set the optionprice to 0 just to be safe
                        objItem.OptionPrice =Math.Round(0, CurrencyRoundNumber)
                        ' arrParameters(3) contains the custom weight
                        objItem.Weight = arrParameters(3)
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        'Failed to retrievecustom price, ignore this basket item
                        objItem.Quantity = 0
                    End Try
                End If

Implementing other custom features such as custom SKU's can be accomplished in the same way. Obviously other changes are required in any custom control created such as declaring the ItemWeight properties but if you've got this far, that bit is a doddle!

The one thing that I really like in Kartris over nopCommerce is the Custom Control feature. We sell Polycarbonate sheet both in stock sizes and cut-to-size. I have created a custom control that looks up a price from a CSV file based on user input and this works well, however, I don't see anywhere where I can pass the weight of the custom product. Obviously the weight is needed for shipping purposes but the only place I can see that I can set the weight is within the Product version in the Admin section. How can I overwrite the weight in the same way as the price? Cheers Chris

But the customcost functionality is implemented in the BasketBLL.vb. Looking in there I think it's not a huge job to add support for customweight too, the code would be very similar to custom cost, only simpler as no need to convert currencies or format them. I will add this to the feature list, I agree it would be a useful feature to have. But I think if you've done the custom control already, your skills are probably up to the job - I think from looking at the code it shouldn't be a huge job. -- If my post solves your issue, can you 'Mark as Answer' so it's easier for other users to find in future.
