Created category shortcut links if ACF switch enabled

  • Hello everyone !

    I’m trying to enhance my WordPress / Woocoomerce back office by adding shortcut links to some product categories my client will use pretty often (see screenshot bellow).

    So far I have managed to achieve this by adding this code to my functions.php :

    <?php function add_toolbar_items($wp_admin_bar) { 
    
        $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
            'id'		=> 'Products',
            'title' => 'Products',
            'href' => 'http://localhost/qualityControlHQ2/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product&orderby=title&order=asc',
            ) );
    
        //Subcategories 
        $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
            'id' => '7"',
            'title' => '7"',
            'href' => 'http://localhost/qualityControlHQ2/wp-admin/edit.php?product_cat=7&post_type=product&orderby=title&order=asc',
            'parent' => 'Products',
            ) );
    
        $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
            'id' => 'LP',
            'title' => 'LP',
            'href' => 'http://localhost/qualityControlHQ2/wp-admin/edit.php?product_cat=lp&post_type=product&orderby=title&order=asc',
            'parent' => 'Products',
            ) );
    
        ..... duplicated for all other Subcategories
    }
    
    add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'add_toolbar_items', 72);
    
    ?>

    But this is not really convenient as I have to copy / paste the same code for all my other 12 subcategories and if my client adds a new category he will have to ask me to add a shortcut manually into the code.

    So I thought about adding an ACF switch field (true / false) called “catShortcut” to my categories and have every category with the field value set to “true” displayed in my shortcuts links list.

    I understand the logic of what I need to achieve but I’m clueless about how to get it done in my code.

    Any idea how to make that happen ?
    Thanks !
