Woocommerce REST API Update Product Categories - wordpress

I'm using Wordpress 4.9.5 with Woocommerce 3.3.5. I am using the WooCommerce REST API PHP Client Library to update products on the website when they are changed in a separate product management system. That library is using v2 of the REST API.
Using the following code I am successfully updating the basic product data (title, description, sku, price etc) but I can't get the categories to update from Uncategorized. The categories are also not set when using similar code to create a product if it doesn't already exist on the site.
$client = new WC_API_Client( $domain, $consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $options );
$client->products->update( $id, array(
'sku' => $product->sku,
'title' => $product->title,
'type' => $product->type,
'status' => $product->status,
'regular_price' => $product->regular_price,
'description' => $product->description,
'categories' => array(
array(
'id' => 343
),
array(
'id' => 347
)
)
));
As I say, the other fields update as expected. I have confirmed that categories with IDs 343 and 347 definitely exist so I assume I must have a problem with the syntax. As the other fields update the authentication is definitely working.
I have read the official Woocommerce API documentation and based my code on this tutorial. Based on both of those, I'm not sure what I have done wrong.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I resolved this in the end. It was on oversight on my part.
The client library I was using was connecting to what the Woocommerce documentation calls the 'Legacy v2' version rather than the 'v2' version of the API. Categories, image alt tags, meta data etc are not supported in the legacy versions.
I switched from the using library to connecting directly to the 'v2' version using https://sitename/wp-json/wc/v2/endpoint and all is now well.

Implementing cmb_field_map for cmb2

I'm trying to use the cmb_field_map extension by julykaz for cmb2 in a wordpress plugin to display a google map location.
https://packagist.org/packages/julykaz/cmb_field_map
Have successfully installed it into composer and action hook for cmb2_render_pw_map is registering in the page - but no field (or map) displayed.
cmb2 is installed and working correctly. By the documentation on the page, I should just have to add the appropriate type.
I've got:
$cmb_location->add_field( array(
'name' => 'Google Map Location',
'desc' => 'Drag the marker to set the exact location',
'id' => $prefix . 'map',
'type' => 'pw_map'
) );
In the admin edit page the 'name' field is display but nothing for the googlemap (or even a field).
Not sure what I'm missing here...
Look this -> https://github.com/mustardBees/cmb_field_map Propably you've probably forgotten Google Maps API key.

Woocommerce API - Create Order With Float Quantity

Unfortunately, in my store all of the product quantities are in float.
I used the below code to accept float value as a quantity in my website.
// Removes the WooCommerce filter, that is validating the quantity to be an int
remove_filter('woocommerce_stock_amount', 'intval');
// Add a filter, that validates the quantity to be a float
add_filter('woocommerce_stock_amount', 'floatval');
But, when I trying to create a order using API from my mobile app is not accepting the float value.
$woocommerce->post('orders', $getData);
anybody help me, how can I create a order using woocommerce api to accept float quantities.
Unfortunately, you can't achieve this with the latest API version. You can try any of the solution given below but NOT recommended.
Solution 1: Use Legacy API.
Solution 2: Directly change 'type' => integer to 'type' => float (around 1190) in 'woocommerce/includes/api/class-wc-rest-orders-controller.php' which is responsible for the quantity (but note that you need to change every time you upgrade the plugin).
'quantity' => array(
'description' => __( 'Quantity ordered.', 'woocommerce' ),
'type' => 'float', // change here
'context' => array( 'view', 'edit' ),
),

Creating pages from Ninja form data

I've created a WordPress page with a Ninja form on it that collects miscellaneous data about a product, including some uploaded images. The page with the form is accessible from the main menu by clicking the "Input" item, so the user doesn't need to access the backend to upload their product data.
I now want to put this data into a custom post type called "Listing." There will eventually be thousands of these data sets and so thousands of "Listing" pages, as people come to the site, click Input in the main menu to get to the page with the Ninja form and fill it out.
Could someone tell me how they would go about now building these listing pages from the data the form has collected?
I'm running Ninja's Front-End Post option which supposedly will create a page from the form data. This plugin has some Post creation settings where you can select the post type to create, but this isn't working for me. I would expect the submitted form data to show up under dashboard | Listings, but there's nothing there after submitting the form.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks for your help.
I think you can use only Ninja Forms without extensions, and hook directly in 'ninja_forms_after_submission' that fires after submission and allow you to use data submitted and perform actions.
This is a starter codebase to achieve your result, but needs to be customized on your needs and your form structure.
add_action( 'ninja_forms_after_submission', 'create_page_from_ninjaform' );
function create_page_from_ninjaform( $form_data ){
// your fields data
$form_fields = $form_data[ 'fields' ];
// !!! this is an example, it depends form fields in your form
$title = $form_fields[ 1 ][ 'value' ];
$content = $form_fields[ 2 ][ 'value' ];
$sample_meta_field = $form_fields[ 3 ][ 'value' ];
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'listing', // be sure this is the post type name
);
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $new_post );
update_post_meta( $new_post_id, 'your_meta_key', $sample_meta_field );
}
This code should be copied in functions.php file
Not tested of course.
Good luck ;)
The Ninja Forms Front-end Posting extension isn't really meant for displaying form submission data on the front end.
From: https://ninjaforms.com/extensions/front-end-posting/
"The Ninja Forms Front-end Posting extension gives you the power of the WordPress post editor on any publicly viewable page you choose."
If you want to show Ninja Forms submission data on the front end, you will have to retrieve them from the database with code in functions.php or by writing a plugin (recommended). You could then parse and manipulate them and create a shortcode that would allow you to insert your formatted submission data easily in Wordpress posts or pages.
Here's a link to a feature request, asking for the same thing. The author of that request posted a link to a plugin (click Download as Plugin) they wrote which may do what you want or give you further insights as to how you could implement this.
https://github.com/wpninjas/ninja-forms/issues/892
If you do not mind paying a little money for a plugin I would recommend using gravity forms rather then ninja forms for more advanced stuff like this.
I manually create a custom post type "oproep" and used a gravityforms plugin to create a custom post from type oproep when an user submits the form.
Because you use custom post type archive pages www.mysite.com/oproep will be automatically created so you already have a list of "Listings". The singe pages www.mysite.com/oproep/title will also be created for you by default, you could override these templates as well if you would like depending on your theme.
The only thing you have to do is add a few php lines to your functions.php (or write your own plugin) that adds the custom post type. The rest all works automatically.
I went so far as writing code to make users able to edit their submissions, read custom taxonomy tags in dropdowns etc. You got lots and lots of more options using gravity forms.
FrancescoCarlucci's answer is correct, but just adding an additional comment: in case you want to specify by form field IDs which fields should go where in your post, NinjaForms passes the ID as a number (in my case for example, I needed field 136 for my post title). It may have been obvious but I racked my brain for a while until I figured it out.
function create_post($form_data) {
$form_fields = $form_data[ 'fields' ];
$post_fields = array(
'post_content' => '',
'post_content_filtered' => '',
'post_title' => '',
'post_excerpt' => '',
'post_status' => 'pending',
'post_type' => 'post',
);
foreach ($form_fields as $field) {
$field_id = $field[ 'id' ];
$field_key = $field[ 'key' ];
$field_value = $field[ 'value' ];
if ($field_id == 136) {
$post_fields['post_title'] = $field_value;
}
}
wp_insert_post($post_fields, true);
}

How to add membership levels to WordPress WooCommerce, based on an amount of purchases?

I want to add 2 membership statuses to my WordPress WooCommerce based website.
The first one would be Basic package - user gets a custom message at the top saying he has to make 2 purchases before he can get access to the rest of the page and the second package would be Premium package - user gets access to the whole page, only if he has made 2 purchases on the site.
How can I achieve this?
I think you should be looking for some kind of WooCommerce membership plugin, e.g. premium extension WooCommerce Membership or free plugin Groups that is available on wordpress.org. This would provide you with access control and the first one would also give you some additional WooCommerce-related features.
Neither of the above plugins, however, offer the solution that you are looking for out of the box and I am not aware of any plugins that would. You would need to write custom code that tracks how many orders user has placed to this date. This could be run when orders are marked completed. Then simply instruct the membership plugin to upgrade user's membership level (both of them have APIs to do so I guess).
This piece of code can be used to count number of customer's orders:
$user_id = 1; // Change to take your real user ID dynamically
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'meta_key' => '_customer_user',
'meta_value' => $user_id,
'post_type' => 'shop_order',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'shop_order_status',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'completed',
),
),
);
$posts = get_posts($args);
$number_of_orders_to_date = count($posts); // This is your answer

WordPress get user by meta data

How can I retrieve all users registered in my WordPress blog having a particular meta data?
For example I have made an option to add a custom meta data for every registering users having meta key as parent_id. If I want to list all users having parent_id as 2 , then how can I do this?
Since WP v3.1 it's ridiculously easy to search for a user by his/her meta key.
Use the function
get_users($args)
(WP Documentation)
The function takes an array of parameters, in your case you need
get_users(array(
'meta_key' => 'parent_id',
'meta_value' => '42'
))
Simple way how to get one user by his metadata is:
$user = reset(
get_users(
array(
'meta_key' => $meta_key,
'meta_value' => $meta_value,
'number' => 1
)
)
);
Here is how you can get users based on a custom role and multiple metadata keys,
$available_drivers = get_users(
array(
'role' => 'driver',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'approved',
'value' => true,
'compare' => '=='
),
array(
'key' => 'available',
'value' => true,
'compare' => '=='
)
)
)
);
Explaining the above query, I want only those users who I assigned the role of driver, and they are approved and available. The approved and available are custom fields created using ACF as True/False fields.
If you have additional metadata to test, add another array element to the meta_query array.
Meanwhile checkout my open source at github.com/patrickingle
Here is the codex page from Wordpress detailing how to use the get_users($arg); function.
It contains examples how how to build custom functions to fetch various parts of user data. You'll have to naturally build and make some of your own changes to get it how you want.
Additionally here is a link to a function somebody built that will fetch user data based on roles within wordpress. You can configure it in many different ways with some tweeking, but this will allow you to filter your results in a more powerful manner.
