Add custom checkoutAttributes on checkout page.

Hi i have a problem with your commentbox attribute on the checkout page. Therefor i need to use a checkoutattribute created as checkoutattribut in admin, that will operate the same way as your commentbox. How do i display that custom attribute on the checkout page?

We did plugin many years ago and order comment is plugin features.
NopCommerce allows customer to add new checkout attributes now.
But plugin doesn't support this feature now.
I'll add support checkout attributes.
What nopcommerce version do you use now and we'll add this feature from your nop version?

P.S.
We plan to add them many times but :).
It's time to add checkout attributes.
Thank you.

Hi, thanks for a fast reply!

I am currently using version 3.9.

My problem is that with some paymentmethods the comment is from a customer is erased. Do you have any idea of what could be wrong?

It has to be somewhere when you call PlaceOrder function you update the order somehow.

What should I add after this has been processed.

var placeOrderResult = _orderProcessingService.PlaceOrder(processPaymentRequest);

Can you say me one payment method for example with this problem?
Or it takes place from time to time.

This is a custom plugin Klarna checkout  https://github.com/Motillo/klarna-checkout-nopcommerce.

The thing is that this plugin has its own placeOrder. And when i place a order with example some standard methods, the attribute is inserted in some magic way on the order. But not when this plugin trigger the placeOrder function.

See row 465 here https://github.com/Motillo/klarna-checkout-nopcommerce/blob/master/src/Controllers/KlarnaCheckoutController.cs

After that order is placed i could manually add the CheckoutAttributeDescription on the order, but i need to access the information the customer added.

My best regards / Robin

Ok.
Thank you. I'll see and answer you.
I am sure that plugin had to add this customer's comment, but I'll check it.

Yes i assume we have to add it manually. The problem for me is how do i access the attribute from commentBox, because that is some SimpleCheckout Specific attribute.

I'll add support checkout attributes from the box.
You will be able to create checkout attribute for customer's comment.
Please wait one-two days.

Nice, i appreciate it a lot!
The upgrade process is it only to change the .dll file? Or is there som major changes in the views as well?

I hope yes.

Hi, is there any update on this?

Yes and no. I was sick last week and my disease destroyed my plan.
I changed plugin but I haven't finished all test yet.
I have one bug.
I'll write in this topic.

Hi any update on this?

I am sorry for delay. You waited more two weeks, but I told that you would wait two days.
I'll send you new release today.

Try new release.

If you don't want to replace all cshtml files (you changed them before).
How to upgrade plugin?

1. Replace DLL file.
2. Add new function checkoutAttributeChange in _SimpleCheckoutScript.cshtml.
3. Add new cshtml file _CheckoutAttributes.cshtml.
4. Change SimpleOrderSummary.cshtml or SimpleOrderSummary2.cshtml.
Add this code

        if (Model.CheckoutAttributes.Count() > 0)
                {
            <div class="selected-checkout-attributes">
                @Html.Partial((string)Model.CustomProperties["_CheckoutAttributes"], Model.CheckoutAttributes)
            </div>
        }

old code

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.CheckoutAttributeInfo))
                {
        <div class="selected-checkout-attributes">
            @Html.Raw(Model.CheckoutAttributeInfo)
        </div>
                }

About problem.
We wasted a lot of time for solving problem with another our plugin Payment Method Rules. You can create a payment rule using checkout attributes.
Example.
Add new payment rule
- display 'Direct PayPal payment method' if customer selected checkout attribute 'Use gift wrapping'.
But you can have new condition on cart page
- hide checkout attribute 'Use gift wrapping' if customer selected 'Direct PayPal payment method'.

I realize that the store's owner had to think about such problem himself, but ....
We haven't solve this problem yet. In this release we use the next logic.
Customer changed checkout attribute but plugin didn't refresh payment method/ shipment method list.
