detect if article has property by propertyname

[MatthewJRyan]

I wanted to use some custom properties to tell the product display template to show certain icons.

i,e,
PropertyGroup = "Standards"
Properties in group: "BS", "ASTM", "FR", etc
add property to articles....

Then in template
@if "what??"
{

whatever icon/logo want to show

}

I'm doing this in ProductDisplayDetail.cshtml
But i dont know how to check if an article has a certain property (by name).

Can this be done? if so how?

Categories and properties are both CATEGORY records. They are linked by the GROUP record.

I believe you're looking at calling the ProductData.GetCategories func which will allow you to get a List of properties per your needs.

It takes a groupref string param that is useful for getting at specific properties.

https://github.com/openstore-ecommerce/OpenStore/blob/master/Components/Product/ProductData.cs

var myProps = myProduct.GetCategories("my-groupref", true)

You can iterate the properties or use LINQ to evaluate things once you've got the data.

You could do this in your Razor template or you might do it in a custom token for little more separation and re-usability.

this wasnt quite what i needed, but did point me in the right direction of the ProductData class.
After reading that class source i did this instead...

@if (product.HasProperty("BSEN")) 
{
    <div class="eds_btn eds_btnInfo">BS EN</div>
}
