Building Plugin

Hi everyone,

I would like to develop a plugin that render itself inside ProductBox view near the price of the product.

How can I know which product is rendering each time?

Is it my question clear?

Thanks, Domenico.

Implement a widget plugin (IWidgetPlugin). Use "productbox_add_info" widget name

Thanks Andrei,

but how can I know which product is rendering each time?

You can get current route values (productId parameter)

Oh, ok! Thanks!!!

There's an example?

int Productid = Convert.ToInt32(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["productId"]);

Regards

GREAT!!!

Thank you!

There's a problem...

If I put my plugin in "productdetails_after_pictures" zone I can get the ProductId with the code line

int Productid = Convert.ToInt32(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["productId"]);

but in the zone "productbox_add_info" I don't have this data. The only RouteData I've are the controller and the method.

How can I get the ProductId in that zone?

Please see chnageset 6e51817414a4. Now developers can access "additional data" in widgets. "PublicInfo" method of widgets supports optional "additionalData" parameter. For example, you can get current product ID when implementing a widget for product box ("productbox_add_info" widget zone). Also updated all widget zones with appropriate addional data.
