undocumented shop fetch function "order"

I'm developing an e-commerce solution for a customer of ours.

I needed to get information, in the template part, about the order the basket was referring to. Searching through the reference manual wasn't of any help, because the fetch functions listed for the shop module didn't mention anything about it.

I just give it a try and wrote down this

 {def $order=fetch('shop', 'order', $basket.order_id)}

and there it was!

Adding this to the documentation could be of great help.

Hello Monica,

Welcome to the eZ Publish Community!

Could we trouble you to also file an issue tracker enhancement request for this improvement to the documentation?

Thank you for sharing your find with everyone :)

Cheers,

Heath

FYI,

For those that care to know.

There are many un-documented features

like fetch functions in the eZ Publish kernel.

For example in the kernel/shop module there are also these undocumented fetch functions.

  • order_status_history_count
  • order_status_history
  • user_country
  • current_wish_list

Just to name a few [0]

Cheers,

Heath

...and the ggsysinfo extension will gleefully list all of the available fetch functions for you. And all module views too!

I'm sorry, I was a noob as for share.ez.no and didn't follow the discussion. I just filed the request.

Thank you very much for letting me know about the others fetch function and for replying me so kindly!

This is a great extension, Gaetano. I saw it installed in our ez instance, but since it wasn't activated and, my bad, for lack of curiosity, I didn't bother to give it a look. I'll surely use it in the future, thank you.
