HI Simon,

You would need do a check in your controller. If you're using FastTrack you could create a new controller and inherit from the CheckoutPaymentMethodController and then override the method PaymentMethodForm method (from it's base)

  public class MyPaymentMethodController : CheckoutPaymentMethodController 
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// Responsible for rendering the payment method form.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="view">
    /// The optional view.
    /// </param>
    /// <returns>
    /// The <see cref="ActionResult"/>.
    /// </returns>
    [ChildActionOnly]
    public override ActionResult PaymentMethodForm(string view = "")
    {
        var model = CheckoutPaymentMethodModelFactory.Create();

         // DO YOUR CHECKS HERE AND MODIFY THE MODEL

        return view.IsNullOrWhiteSpace() ? PartialView(model) : PartialView(view, model);
    }
  }

Sorry missed the second question - there are several extension points - notifications, reporting, etc - but nothing in the core at the moment to export to a CSV or something.

What are you looking to do?

Hi Rusty,

Thanks for the response - sorry I was away for a few days.

Will take a look regarding overriding the PaymentMethodForm for limiting the payment types available for different products.

In terms of exporting, yes, I'd like to export all orders/invoices within a category to CSV file. At the moment, our fulfilment process is handled separately in a closed system (we'll develop this at some point and aim to use a notification provider to make an API call). So we need to export orders for the time being. CSV would be fine.

I'm also going to extend Merchello's IInvoice to include an ExtendedData collection so that we can store some additional information at the invoice level. Any advice for this?

Thanks Simon

Hi Rusty,

Thanks for your help so far!

How do I get hold of a custom extended product property from my overridden CheckoutPaymentMethodContoller PaymentMethodForm function? I have to check if a flag is set on one of my products before I can use a certain payment gateway.

Re the new collection - I've decided to ditch it as I found a better way of doing it.

Exporting orders from a Sales collection would be useful but we'd need the ability to override what was exported due to custom fields etc.

Cheers Simon

Hi Rusty

Thanks for that - worked it out.

        var merchello = new MerchelloHelper();
        foreach(var item in Basket.Items.Where(t => t.LineItemType == Core.LineItemType.Product))
        {
            var wibble = merchello.TypedProductContent(item.ExtendedData["merchProductKey"]);
            var tony = wibble.GetProperty("brief");
        }

Will add write up for the export orders function.

Many thanks Simon
