Hide property based on Culture

Vote:
 

I'm working with a Globalised e-commerce site and our customer is requesting a property they only want to appear for one culture. Since the site is consisting on many languages it will be an disadvantage to have the property for all cultures. Is there a way to hide/remove the property for the rest of the cultures? The Culturespecific attribute is only making the values unique for each culture so that won't help me in this case.

By "hiding", do you mean you want to hide the property in Catalog UI, or in view mode (for end-users)?

Hi Quan, I want to hide the property in the Catalog UI for all other cultures.

That's an interesting question, however I don't think we support that feature out-of-box.

Some partners might have developed solution for that - but that's also not what I'm aware of - I'm interested in the solution as wel - if any.

Ok thanks for response. Yes since e-commerce is differing in different countries and regions that should be a good feature to have. For example in UK where you can exempt some products from VAT, this must be set on variant level, and become confusing for all other editors from the rest of the world in a globalized site. A wish should be to set allowed cultures on attribute level for the property.

My colleague Per showed me this: http://world.episerver.com/blogs/Kalle-Ljung/Dates/2013/10/Moving-built-in-properties-to-the-settings-header-in-EPiServer-7-CMS/ 

Perhaps you can make it work with specific language setting?

I assume I should set the scaffoldcolumn to false to hide the property in the example above, but I can't seem to figure out how to set it. In the attribute collection I can only find TypeId for each attribute, which is an object, how do I set it? Also tried to set the Layoutclass to a css class which should hide it, but that didn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Hi

The ExtendedMetata object, called property in the example, should have a property called .ShowForEdit. Setting that to false should hide the property in the UI.

Regards
