If no ticket numbers are listed, then either this change request came from the LS One roadmap and/or backlog or the request came to us through some other channel.
Breaking changes to IPOSPlugin and "Execute POS Plugin" operation
The "Execute POS plugin" operation for the POS has been changed as follows:
- No longer requires the type name to be sent in as a parameter
This means that you need to remove the "type" portion of the parameter string or existing calls to the operation will not work as expected
- Only supports one type per assembly that implements the IPOSPlugin interface.
The interface itself remains unchanged, but the parameter you send in to the "Execute POS plugin" operation has changed so that you need to make the following adjustments to the parameter sent in to the operation:
- Before: <NameOfPluginDLL>;<TypeName>;<TaskName>;<Parameter1>;<Parameter2>
- After: <NameOfPluginDLL>;<TaskName>;<Parameter1>;<Parameter2>
Example:
- Before: ItemSpecialGroupSearchPlugin;ItemSpecialGroupSearch;Search;SG000001
- After: ItemSpecialGroupSearchPlugin;Search;SG000001
Note that the <TypeName> part of the parameter has been removed. The purpose of this change is to make implementation and configuration of a "Execute POS plugin" operation in the POS easier and more user friendly. To support this the setup dialog in the POS has also been changed as follows:
New support interface for IPOSPlugin: IPOSPluginSetupProvider
This allows an implementation of IPOSPlugin to return information to the "Button properties" dialog so that the user can get a user-friendly way to configure the operation. The definition of the interface is as follows:
IPOSPluginSetupProvider definition
Provides information about an IPOSPlugin to display to the user when he is configuring a button for the POS. If a IPOSPlugindoes not implement this interface then the user must manually enter all the relevant information.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| List<POSPluginTask> PluginTasks { get; } | Returns the list of tasks that theIPOSPlugin can execute. |
POSPluginTask
Used by IPOSPluginSetupProvider to describe a single task and it's parameter type. This is used when configuring an IPOSPlugin on a button to allow the user select the type of parameter rather than manually entering all the information.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| public string Description { get; set; } | The description of the action. |
| public string TaskID { get; set; } | The ID of the action. This is passed to IPOSPlugin.RunTask as the task parameter. |
| public LookupTypeEnum LookupType { get; set; } | Gets or sets the LookupTypeEnum that should be used when configuring this task. This will set what kind of parameter the user can configure in button configuration dialog for the POS. |
