Hello @nettbee,

You should start developing this mod with this article:

Please, let me know if it helps. If there are still any questions, just let me know.

Thank you.

I am working on updating my module to x-cart 5.3 ... http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/Adding+new+property+to+a+product apparently that doesn't work anymore?

The Flexy to Twig Converter outputted

{##
 # @ListChild (list="invoice.item.name", weight="20")
 # @ListChild (list="cart.item.info", weight="20")
 #}
{% if this.item.product.getPPCField() %}
  <li class="ppc-field">
    <span class="name">{{ t('Pieces Per Case') }}</span>
    <span class="ppc-field-value">{{ this.item.product.getPPCField() }}</span>
  </li>
{% endif %}

We are currently working on articles in the Knowledge base.
Everything will be up to date when the 5.3 version is out of Beta.

Any help on the the decorator issues with the admin field? Would like to get the module working before out of beta.

I will try to check the code on my local 5.3.x installation this week.

Please could you clarify what exactly doesn't work after you migrated the code?
Can you send me your module files?

We don't sell single items (just cases) so I added a new field called PPCField (pieces per case) and modified the admin screen for products so I could add a field for how many pieces per case each product had (unless there were options, then I use variants).

This caused all kinds of problems with importing the products into another build (but I manually corrected all the issues) because the export and import can't handle new fields in the database apparently.

Attached is the packed module that I used the smarty to twig converter that xcart gave.

Why don't you use the attributes page? It allows you to add a new product field (attribute) named "Pieces Per Case" and specify its value per product. The import/export function supports attributes.

Couple reasons. 1 we do use pieces per case in the attributes section (specifically for variants when they occur), but the reason we have to use this method is because

a) attributes only show up in the specifications tab, which means the quick view doesn't show the attribute unless it is a multiple input attribute

b) attributes don't show up in the main product screen unless it is a multiple input attribute

c) attributes aren't visible on the invoice unless they are multiple input attributes

You can see from the module that it inserts the ppcfield into the quick view and product screen (over the add to cart button) and it adds it to the invoice. This is really important to vendors who don't sell single items but do sell cases BUT don't want to add the pieces into the title of the product because it is inconsistent when you have a variant available for some but not all).

You can get an idea of how we sell products and why this is necessary at our website https://glaspak.com
