Order Items FieldType

**NOTE:** The short name of this field can be anything except *items*

This documentation refers to the Order Items field type. See also: Order Items dedicated tag

You can use this field type to output the content of your order items field. When using Cartthrob's order items custom field to display data from saved orders, you can use this tag pair to display items in orders to the user, or for the store owner as a report. Simply create a tag pair with the short name of your order items custom field. In the example below, the order items field's short name is order_items.

When using this tag, make sure you are using the short name of your order items field. It may or may not be named "order_items" depending on your specific configuration

Though the order_items "tag" is really a standard channel custom field, we're treating it like a tag pair. All of the variables below are available between the {YOUR_ORDER_ITEMS_FIELD} {/YOUR_ORDER_ITEMS_FIELD} tag pair.

The current loop "count" of the item being displayed. (eg. 3 of 12)

The price of the item as it was recorded without formatting

{item:price_numeric} 12

item:price_plus_tax

item:total_results

{item:total_results}

item:switch

Alternate between the specified values. See the ExpressionEngine docs for more information on switches.

{item:switch='option_one|option_two'} would switch from option_one|option_two from line to line

item:YOUR_OPTION

If you used item_options[shirt_size] when you added an item to the cart, {item:shirt_size} will be available. If you have "size" or "color" or "material" in your order items field, you would output them with item:size, item:color, item:material. The item options can be any term except entry_id, title, quantity, count, or total_results.

{item:size}  {item:color}

Conditionals

{if item:first_item}

Helps determine if the current item is the first in the list. 

{if item:first_item} <table> {/if}

{if item:last_item}

Helps determine if the current item is the last in the list

{if item:last_item} </table> {/if}

{if is_package}

Helps determine if the item is a package/bundled item

{if is_package} a package was purchased {/if}

{if no_results}

If no items are found the content in this conditional will be output.

{if no_results} No items were found {/if}

Variable Pairs

item_options

This variable pair makes it easy to output all item options, even if you don't know what the option names are. {option_name} and {option_value} can be used within this variable pair. Option name will output the related field name, and option_value will output the selected value. 

{item_options}
    {option_name}: {option_value} 
{/item_options}

package

Outputs data related to packages. You can access information related to the sub items using {sub:variable}

{package}
    <li>{sub:title}</li>
{/package}
