Get each product sorting number in 'items' structure field of order pages

[plagasul]

Hello,

I'd like to show each product sorting number in the 'items' structure field of order pages.

I can think of two ways:

1. Pass the number as a product property when adding it to the cart and add a 'number' field to the 'items' structure field in 'order' blueprint (will only work for future orders, not those already placed)

2. Add the number to a field in 'product' blueprint then add that field to 'ww.merx.cart.fields' - If I understood well, this would automatically add it to the product's array in the cart- then create the corresponding field in the 'items' structure field in 'order' blueprint (same problem).

Is there perhaps any better way of doing this in MERX ?

Danke

A third way is to modify productlist '__set' method so it adds the sorting number to a product's array when adding the product to the list.

Either directly/explicitly by adding, for example:

if (!isset($value['num'])) {
    $value['num'] = $page->num();
}     

...Or better by modifying the 'ww.merx.cart.fields' option related code on line Line 103. so it accepts anything that can be casted to a string. Not only a non-empty field. So we could do:

return [
  'ww.merx.cart.fields' => ['num'],
];

This way we could pass even use custom methods as cart.fields as long as the output of the method can be casted to string.

Perhaps the nomenclature/concept of cart.FIELDS should also change in that case, to... I don't know what... properties ? no good suggestion here.

I could even submit a merge request for this along a test, if you may be interested @tobiasfabian

I am going to roll with the modified productlist.php for now.

Cheers

Hey @plagasul,

I’ve updated the behavior of the ww.merx.cart.fields option as you suggested. You can try it with 1.6.0-beta.2.

Thanks for your patience.
