Getting an OrderPaymentPreference in orderinfo.ftl

[Shereen]

Hi all

I've done some customization in the order flow now I want to make a check that order must be paid before being ready to be packed
 I'm working on the orderinfo.ftl
my question is how using ftl code can I get the related payment status in the entity OrderPaymentPreference for the orderheader that I have?
I've done some trials but all failed
I'll be grateful for any suggestion

[BJ Freeman]

this feature is already in Ofbiz.
if you are following the order flow you should not have to do anything.

I now this feature in ofbiz I've seen the tables and the records I just want be able to do any checking I like in my ftl files for more cutomization
I'm also facing another proble of getting entities and check on their fields I've mentioned that in separate topic
Thanks a lot for your reply

In general you should avoid putting too much logic in your ftl files and instead prepare the data in groovy scripts at the screen level.  Freemarker doesn't have a huge amount of scripting support and you'll have a much better time using groovy scripts.

Thanks Scott a lot for your advce actually Freeman advised me to use groovy as well.
My problem is that I don't know groovy I've never wrote any code in groovy but I'll check the files already implemented and try to do it.

I've asked more specific question n topic Check on party fields from ftl files I've mentioned that I want to make a groovy file and that groovy file checks on certain field in the party entity.

this is an extra field I've put in the party entity called requirePrepayment and it's a checkbox I just want get the customer related to the order then check if that field is checked or not.

If you can help me with any code or suggestions that would be great

In a 1st attempt you can see Groovy as a Java interpreter. Then, looking at existing examples and support from Groovy site, enhance
you code by using Groovy power. Look for the Elvis operator for instance. Or how closures are used in Groovy, notably for
each-loops.
Also how Groovy handle tests on NPE (without using ==null). You will find plenty of examples in OOTB OFBiz code.
