Add ProductVariant properties Weight, length and height to productview

Hello,

I'm pretty new to NopCommerce so I hope someone can give me some directions. I want to show the productvariant properties Weight, Length and Height to the customer on the productdetail page. I want to show them with my product specification so I did the follow:

Extended the ProductModel.cs with

public class ProductVariantPriceModel : BaseNopModel
            {
                public string OldPrice { get; set; }

                public string Price { get; set; }
                public string PriceWithDiscount { get; set; }

                public decimal PriceValue { get; set; }
                public decimal PriceWithDiscountValue { get; set; }

                public bool CustomerEntersPrice { get; set; }

                public bool CallForPrice { get; set; }

                public int ProductVariantId { get; set; }

                public bool HidePrices { get; set; }

                public bool DynamicPriceUpdate { get; set; }

                //added
                public string YouSave { get; set; }
                public string YouSavePercent { get; set; }
                //@added

                //add pve
                public decimal Weight { get; set; }
                public decimal Length { get; set; }
                public decimal Width { get; set; }
                public decimal Height { get; set; }
                //@//added
            }

Then I create a new partial View _ProductVariantSpecifications.cshtml

@model Nop.Web.Models.Catalog.ProductModel.ProductVariantModel.ProductVariantPriceModel
@using Nop.Web.Models.Catalog;
@using Nop.Core.Domain.Catalog;
@using Nop.Core.Infrastructure;
@using Nop.Core;
@using System.Text;
@using System.Globalization;
@using Nop.Web.Framework;
@using Nop.Services.Customers;
@using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
<div class="customspecifications">
    <div class="productspec-list">
        <div class="customspecifications">
            <table class="grid" style="width: 100%; border: 0px">
                <tr>
                    <td style="width: 30%;">
                        Lengte(cm)
                    </td>
                    <td style="width: 70%;">
                        @*@Model.Length;*@
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td style="width: 30%;">
                        Breedte(cm)
                    </td>
                    <td style="width: 70%;">
                       @* @Model.Width;*@
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td style="width: 30%;">
                        Hoogte(cm)
                    </td>
                    <td style="width: 70%;">
                        62222
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td style="width: 30%;">
                        Gewicht(kg)
                    </td>
                    <td style="width: 70%;">
                        3.2
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The problem is that the properties Length, weight etc in the model are empty. Where do I have to load these values in the model

Thanks

You should set these values in the controller action method you're requesting. I presume that you added a new method and a view.

Can you give me a hint? This the part I'm a little lost

I think what he's referring to is that you will need to create a controller to set the vaults in your model / view.

Try this in the Catalog Controller...

CatalogController.cs

[NonAction]
        private ProductModel.ProductVariantModel PrepareProductVariantModel(ProductModel.ProductVariantModel model, ProductVariant productVariant)

model.ShowWeight = _catalogSettings.ShowWeight;
            model.Weight = productVariant.Weight.ToString();
            model.ShowLength = _catalogSettings.ShowLength;
            model.Length = productVariant.Length.ToString();
            model.ShowWidth = _catalogSettings.ShowWidth;
            model.Width = productVariant.Width.ToString();
            model.ShowHeight = _catalogSettings.ShowHeight;
            model.Height = productVariant.Height.ToString();

Try this may work mind you I added it to a different area of the model but I'm having issues with the display but that is due to changes I am currently undertaken.

Hi Patz,

Were you able to succesfully do this. If you could can you please share me the files you modified as I am also about to do the same.

Thanks,
Praneeth

Thanks you for All.
