I have a set of products (courses) that are dependent on a calendar.
The calendar is generated by a post type date which has an ACF field date_start and an associated_product
The logic is; the user creates a post-type Date which adds an attribute term to the associated product's attribute pa_dates.
I have hooked save_post and so far so good, the attribute is written to the product.
I then need to copy the date field to the term created $term_set this section doesn't produce anything. (I need this date to order the terms in my product)
Part of the problem is I have no way of interrogating the variables as this is all happening in a hook that has no way of printing output. (I have tried fwrite but with no result)
// Add terms on Date save.
function add_terms_to_date($post_ID) {
if ('date' !== get_post_type() ) {
return;
} else {
$product_id = get_field('associated_product',$post_ID);
$term_name = get_the_title($post_ID);
$taxonomy = 'pa_dates';
$term_set = wp_set_post_terms( $product_id, $term_name, $taxonomy, true );
// up to here, works fine.
// now need to identify that term ($term_set)
// Then I need to write copy the date field to its ACF field in my Date attribute
$selector = "term_date_start"; // the ACF field in the term
$date_start = get_field('date_start', $post_ID); // the date field to be copied
$value = $date_start;
// This next line caused the issue leading to the question so is commented out
// update_field($selector, $value, $term_set);
// and this line is correct
update_field($selector, $value, $taxonomy."_".$term_set);
}
}
add_action('save_post', 'add_terms_to_date');
So, complicated question, simple answer.
The last line should read;
update_field($selector, $value, $taxonomy."_".$term_set);
to avoid confusion with post IDs (RTFM) ACF has a different system for identifying terms. ($taxonomy comes from the earlier line and is pa_dates)
I have edited the post above, just in case it can provide help to someone.

I want to auto-generate post title like that
Ex : ABC-123456
also i need to let (( ABC- )) fixed and random change the 06 numbers
and to dont change the post title through updating the post
First, to modify WordPress behavior the correct way, you find an appropriate hook. In this case, that would be a filter that allows changing the Post data before it is saved to the db.
The filter 'wp_insert_post_data' is exactly what you need, so you add your filter, and connect it to a function like so:
function zozson_filter_post_title(){
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'zozson_filter_post_title',50,4);
'wp_insert_post_data' is the name of the filter
'zozson_filter_post_title' is the name you give to your function, to hook to it.
50 is the priority. I chose 50 to run it after most other things. Default is 10
4 is the number of variables that the filter passes to your function.
So now we will add those variables and the logic inside it, to assign these CPT sho7nat those titles on admin saving them.
function zozson_filter_post_title( $data, $postarr, $unsanitized_postarr, $update){
//Then if it is the post type sho7nat
if( $data['post_type'] !== 'sho7nat' ){
return $data;
}
//If there is already a titled saved ($update returns true always)
if( $data['post_title'] !== '' ){
return $data;
}
//Let's build our title
$post_title = ' ABC-';
//What better random number that a unique timestamp?
$random_number = strtotime('now');
//Add the random number to the post title to save. You can do these in 1 line instead of 3
$post_title.= $random_number;
//We now have a post title with ABC- fixed and a random number, tell WordPress to use it as the post title
$data['post_title'] = $post_title;
return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'zozson_filter_post_title',50,4);
The title automatically assigned should be like in this example:
I want to enter the value of digits_phone meta key to be entered as billing_phone for every woocommerce order.
I came up with something like this but it did not work :
//Automatically add the digits phone number of the user, to woocommerce orders for every order
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_posted_data', 'dg_manipulate_checkout_posted_data');
function dg_manipulate_checkout_posted_data ($data) {
$data['billing_phone'] =['digits_phone'];
return $data;
}
can anyone please help me to figure this out?
I have never used the plugin myself, take this as a guideline
THIS CODE IS NOT TESTED !
Maybe this question is a better fit for wordpress.stackexchange.com
From the last comment of this post I see that there should be 2 user metadata related to some digits_phone: 'digits_phone' and 'digits_phone_no'
Assuming that the one we want is digits_phone, this code should be a hint in the right direction:
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_posted_data', 'dg_manipulate_checkout_posted_data');
function dg_manipulate_checkout_posted_data ($data) {
// save current user data in variable $current_user
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
//get digits phone from db and save in variable $digits_phone
$digits_phone = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'digits_phone' , true );
// assign to POSTed array and return it
$data['billing_phone'] = $digits_phone;
return $data;
}
Also have a look at How can I convert woocommerce checkout fields in capital letters to get a better picture of manipulating POST data
My every product in WooCommerce has several attributes. One of them is named my-availability and I need to change its value dynamically depending on stock change and some condition logic. So when the amount of pieces on stock is changed (usually decreased by order), the value of my-availability attribute will change. It should not add any new attributes, just change the value of the existing one. I do not use product variations at all.
I am total beginner and trying to build this piece of code for few days using a lot of googling. Now I have something like this:
function changeatt( $order )
{
$items = $order->get_items();
foreach( $items as $item ) {
$value2 = get_field( "naceste", $item['product_id']); //need to get value of custom field "naceste"
$value = get_post_meta( $item['product_id'], '_stock', true ); //need to get how many pcs is on stock
if ($value == 0 && $value2 > 0)
{$avl = 'Coming soon';}
if ($value == 0 && $value2 == 0)
{ $avl = 'Not in stock';}
if ($value > 0)
{ $avl = 'In stock';}
// update_post_meta( $item['product_id'], 'my-availability', $avl );
wp_set_object_terms( $item['product_id'], $avl, 'pa_my-availability', false);
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_reduce_order_stock', changeatt );
This code actually creates new custom field my-availability with the correct value, but I need to save it to existing attribute named my-availability instead. What am I missing?
I found it! update_post_meta did not work for changing attributes, do not know why. wp_set_object_terms must be used instead and pa_ must be added to the name of the attribute. I have edited the code in the question to the working version. The previous not-working line has been removed by // for other beginners, who will be solving the same situation to learn from this one. It took me few days to solve this.
Now I am pretty curious, how to find out, which types of variables can be changed using update_post_meta and which types using wp_set_object_terms.
I have a custom page where I'm trying to list every products in the store along with their variations.
Also, I'm trying to list the variations' prices sorted by the product attribute with slug 'size'
For testing, I'm trying to get the variations of a single product with the ID 381
My code yet is
$handle=new WC_Product('381');
$variations1=$handle->get_avaialable_variations();
foreach ($variations1 as $key => $value) {
echo '<option value="'.$value['variation_id'].'">'.implode('/',$value['attributes']).'-'.$value['price_html'].'</option>';
}
But the error I'm getting is
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method WC_Product::get_avaialable_variations()
I tried using
$handle=new WC_Product_Variable('381');
instead of
$handle=new WC_Product('381');
But the error is the same.
Any help here?
Try this code.
$handle=new WC_Product_Variable('12');
$variations1=$handle->get_children();
foreach ($variations1 as $value) {
$single_variation=new WC_Product_Variation($value);
echo '<option value="'.$value.'">'.implode(" / ", $single_variation->get_variation_attributes()).'-'.get_woocommerce_currency_symbol().$single_variation->price.'</option>';
}
Note: Use this $single_variation->get_price_html() but its outputs with html span tag which results in getting hidden in option tags.
Tested the above code and the results are as follows.
Let me know if that worked for you too.
You had a typo in your code - get_avaialable_variations
It should be get_available_variations
function get_variation_data_from_variation_id($item_id) {
$_product = new WC_Product_Variation($item_id);
$variation_data = $_product->get_variation_attributes(); // variation data in array
$variation_detail = woocommerce_get_formatted_variation($variation_data, true); // this will give all variation detail in one line
// $variation_detail = woocommerce_get_formatted_variation( $variation_data, false); // this will give all variation detail one by one
return $variation_data; // $variation_detail will return string containing variation detail which can be used to print on website
// return $variation_data; // $variation_data will return only the data which can be used to store variation data
}
I found this before on stackoverflow couldn't remember the link (please edit if find the link to the answer with this method). it shows the variation data for output. the method takes variation id as perameter.
output:

I am building my first plugin, and I am using as a reference the following link.
http://www.sitepoint.com/create-a-voting-plugin-for-wordpress/
and I am trying to underestand the following part of the code:
function voteme_addvote()
{
$results = '';
global $wpdb;
$post_ID = $_POST['postid'];
$votemecount = get_post_meta($post_ID, '_votemecount', true) != '' ? get_post_meta($post_ID, '_votemecount', true) : '0';
$votemecountNew = $votemecount + 1;
update_post_meta($post_ID, '_votemecount', $votemecountNew);
$results.='<div class="votescore" >'.$votemecountNew.'</div>';
// Return the String
die($results);
}
I run the code and it works, but I just dont understand the following:
What is "get_post_meta" doing?
Does it create a custom meta field, the same as add_post_meta?, if it doesnt why there is not an add_post_meta?
I checked the DB, and it looks like it is creating a custom meta field... so in that order what is the difference between get_post_meta and add_post_meta?
Thanks very much for helping me understand this.
The first time your code runs, get_post_meta returns '' so $votemecount is set to 0. The following update_post_meta creates the new meta field as documented below. Values that start with _ are not displayed (are hidden meta fields).
The function, update_post_meta(), updates the value of an existing meta key (custom field) for the specified post.
This may be used in place of add_post_meta() function. The first thing this function will do is make sure that $meta_key already exists on $post_id. If it does not, add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value) is called instead and its result is returned.
