I'm developing a Woocommerce shop and need to display views conditionally, depending on the parent term of current product category archive page.

The shop has two main categories, Woman and Men.

For example, I need to show a view only if you are on woman's category archive page (this is ok using [wpv-taxonomy-archive]' eq 'Woman') OR if the current archive page parent is Woman. The same with man parent category. Also need to be hable to use the same function to check for future parent categories.

I know I have to use something like this [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-archive]' eq 'Woman' ) OR ( archive_term_parent_category() eq 'Woman' )"][/wpv-conditional] based on this post https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-set-condition-on-filter-controls/ but need your help with the function to get current archive parent category, please.

This is the production site enlace oculto

Hi Jorge,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Currently the way you will get the category of the current archive page would be to use the shortcode [wpv-archive-title].
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/views-shortcodes/#vf-295335
This is how you will get the title of the current archive.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Jorge,

Unfortunately you're not able to do this with our shortcodes.

However I've written a custom shortcode that should be able to get this done for you.

// Add Shortcode
function wp_parent_archive_title( $atts ) {

	// Attributes
	$atts = shortcode_atts(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => '',
			'term' => '',
		),
		$atts
	);

	$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( ''.$atts['term'].'' ), get_query_var( ''.$atts['taxonomy'].'' ) );
	$parent = get_term_by( 'id', $term->parent, get_query_var( ''.$atts['taxonomy'].'' ) );
	if($parent):
	    return $parent->name;
	endif;

}
add_shortcode( 'wp_parent_archive_title', 'wp_parent_archive_title' );

You can use the shortcode like this [wp_parent_archive_title taxonomy="taxonomy-slug" term="term-slug"] where you will replace the taxonomy slug with the slug of your taxonomy and the term-slug with the slug of your term.

So in your case you can do this [wp_parent_archive_title taxonomy="taxonomy-slug" term="[wpv-taxonomy-slug]"]

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

You can add the custom shortcode to Toolset->Settings->Custom code and then activate it.

Sorry I think I'm not been clear.

I need to get the ''parent archive title'' of the ''current archive page'' INSIDE a condition, just like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( wp_parent_archive_title() eq 'Woman' )"]SHOW THIS VIEW[/wpv-conditional]

This condition will be inside a layout for "Woocommerce archive pages" made with Toolset Layouts plugin.

Thanks in advance

Maybe the shortcode is ok but I don't understand how to get it work inside the conditional shortcode.

Hi Jorge,

Change the code i provided to this .

// Add Shortcode
function wp_parent_archive_title( $atts ) {
 
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => '',
            'term' => get_queried_object()->term_slug,
        ),
        $atts
    );
 
    $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( ''.$atts['term'].'' ), get_query_var( ''.$atts['taxonomy'].'' ) );
    $parent = get_term_by( 'id', $term->parent, get_query_var( ''.$atts['taxonomy'].'' ) );
    if($parent):
        return $parent->name;
    endif;
 
}
add_shortcode( 'wp_parent_archive_title', 'wp_parent_archive_title' );

Then go to Toolset -> Settings -> frontend and add "wp_parent_archive_title" to the toolset 3rd party shortcode arguments section.

Finally you should be able to do this.

[wpv-conditional if="( ' [wp_parent_archive_title taxonomy='taxonomy-slug']' eq 'Woman' )"] [/wpv-conditional]

Finally just use replace taxonomy-slug with the slug of the taxonomy created in Types.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello, thanks for your answer. I have added the code and shortcode.

I'm using the condition inside a the layout for Woocommerce Category Pages, but is not working.

[wpv-conditional if="( ' [wp_parent_archive_title taxonomy='product_cat']' eq 'Woman' )"][wpv-view name="tienda-mujer"][/wpv-conditional]

"Finally just use replace taxonomy-slug with the slug of the taxonomy created in Types." The taxonomy is created by default by Woocommerce plugin I didn't create it with Types, just in case this is part of the problem.

Hi Jorge,

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website to check on the setup in some more details ?

Please let me know the page that you are testing this out on.

Thanks,
Shane
