I have a WooCommerce page where i am creating a new section similar to the “You may also like” or “Related products”, except this one will display specific products set on the product’s edit page.
Right now, i have a Repeater field:
- with one Post Object sub field
- Filter by Post Type: Products
- Return format: Post ID
which is successfully showing the Product IDs of the three i set on the single-product edit page.
What i need is to show / have access to is the post’s (Product’s) permalink, featured image and the other metadata. So do i need to be using the repeater with sub field Post Object with return format of Post Object? I actually am pretty sure I do but in the examples I didn’t see any featured_image where i did see returning permalink and title.
My second part is, if you have any insight on what fields I might use to get the Product’s product details – price, add to cart, quick view values.
There may be an overall easier way with other ACF fields, so i would love any insight on this.
If it helps or matters, this code lives in the functions.php inside a add_action('woocommerce_after_single_product', 'new_section'); function.
Thanks!
Maybe I should be using the code from Woocommerce’s template archive-product.php as that page displays products the same way I need to. So maybe i should try that code as a starting point and replacing the appropriate pieces of code with ACF fields (the three products chosen on the product’s edit page.)
Wanted to add that idea which i am still looking into deeper.
Turns out – as usual with me – it was much simpler. I used a Woo shortcode that displays products (the way i wanted, with all the product details) and put it inside the loop that gets the PostID for the three products, set the PostID to a var, and it is almost working.
It is working, except i need to adjust the loops syntax somehow:
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('products_to_display_repeater') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('products_to_display_repeater') ) : the_row();
// vars
$product_id = get_sub_field('product_complete_the_look');
// get IDs from vars for Woo shortcode
echo do_shortcode("[products ids='$product_id' limit='1' columns='1' orderby='date' order='desc']");
// display a sub field value
?>
<?php the_sub_field('product_complete_the_look'); ?>
<br>
<?php
endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif;
The above works but because of echo do_shortcode("[products ids='$product_id' limit='1' columns='1' orderby='date' order='desc']"); I get three products each as 1 column and 1 row. I need one row with three columns.
So the shortcode is being looped and called three times, once for each PostID. I need to only call the shortcode once and loop only the '$product_id' within the shortcode, thereby have three PostIds in the shortcode. Oh and they need to be comma separated.
If anyone has input that’s great but I might figure it out…
