Request
This came in from a Stack Overflow question called WooCommerce Link Product Visibility To Day Of Week
Required Plugins
Code
- Copy the WooCommerce template file
content-product.phpto your theme’swoocommercedirectory - Change the area where it checks for visibility
FROM
|
1 2 3 |
// Ensure visibility if ( ! $product || ! $product->is_visible() ) return; |
TO
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
// Ensure visibility // starting custom content $product_visible = check_for_product_allowed_days( $product ); if ( ! $product || ! $product->is_visible() || ! $product_visible ) return; |
- Add the following to your functions.php file
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
// Allows for the display/non-display of products based off days allowed to be sold. // This only works in conjunction with editing // the woocommerce "content-product.php" template file function check_for_product_allowed_days ( $product ) { $product_id = $product->id; $product_terms = get_the_terms ( $product_id, 'product_tag' ); // remove the strtolower if you capitalized your tag names $current_day = strtolower ( date ( 'l' ) ); // $all_days value should be the name of the tag // that you want to be able to be ordered on all days $all_days = 'all days'; foreach ( $product_terms as $tag ) { if ( $tag->name == $current_day || $tag->name == $all_days ) { $product_is_visible = true; break; } else { $product_is_visible = false; } } return $product_is_visible; } |
WooCommerce Admin Setup
- Add tags to all of your products
- “All Days” or “all days” (just be sure to change the value of
$all_daysabove to whatever you set it to be – monday, tuesday, wednesday)
Thinking
I couldn’t find a method to break out of WooCommerce’s loop and set the product visibility before hand so a template update was necessary.
Result
The results aren’t updated with this option, but it shows in this example that there is more products than are displayed.
