I am working on Xcart-5 website customization. And I created my own module and doing work on that. I just created some Global Attributes (" As a Plain text ") field and assign these attributes to some product. Now I want to access these fields value in programming in the product details page for assigning some other value programatically at run time.
How can I achieve this task. Kindly provide me the solution .
In your module you should decorate the \XLite\Model\Attribute class and extend the getAttributeValue() method there.
For instance, if I use a module with developer ID Tony and module ID AttributesDemo, then I would need to create the XCartDirectory/classes/XLite/Module/Tony/AttributesDemo/Model/Attribute.php file with the following content:
<?php
// vim: set ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et:
namespace XLite\Module\Tony\AttributesDemo\Model;
/**
* Attribute
* @MappedSuperClass
*/
abstract class Attribute extends \XLite\Model\AttributeAbstract implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
public function getAttributeValue(\XLite\Model\Product $product, $asString = false)
{
$result = parent::getAttributeValue($product, $asString);
if (!$asString) {
foreach ($result as $obj) {
if ($obj->asString() == 'Mac') {
$obj->getAttributeOption()->setName('Windows');
}
}
}
return $result;
}
}
Such implementation will change Mac values to Windows ones in all attributes.
