[Resolved] Creating filters for WooCommerce Product View

[Author]

Posts

[Timothy]

I'm using legacy Views to display specific woocommerce products within the "Physical Items" category. I'm trying to have filters for the child categories of the "Physical Products" category and for price.

Price I'd love to create a range price filter like this:

oh, I found the price range filter, I didn't even know toolset had this, very cool:
[wpv-control-post-product-price]Price: %%MIN%% — %%MAX%%[/wpv-control-post-product-price]

So I just need to figure out how to choose which woo categories to appear in the filter:
[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="product_cat" type="checkboxes" url_param="wpv-product_cat"]

I thought I could do that in the Query Filter but there's no longer an Edit button for that:

And something I did seems to have changed the filter behavior, now when I select a filter category all the other category filters disappear other than the categories the current products shown have.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset offers the hook using which you can control the taxonomy filter options.

Here is a related ticket that might help you:

Thanks, this worked, for my referenceI added the code below.

But now the item counter [wpv-found-count] no longer changes when I filter, it remains at 50.

And previously when I would select multiple categories it would do an OR operation, showing me products in both those categories, it no longer works like that. Can I add something to my code below to make it work like this?

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_taxonomy_frontend_search_get_terms_args', 'prefix_modify_get_terms_args', 10, 3 );
function prefix_modify_get_terms_args( $args, $taxonomy, $view_id ) {

if ( $view_id == 82144&& $taxonomy == "product_cat") {
$args['slug'] = array(
'watches',
'sunglasses',
'jewelry',
'handbags',
'signed-memorabilia',
'art-entertainment-memorabilia',
'sports-memorabilia',
'wine-spirits',
);
}

return $args;
}

Can you please share problem URL and admin access details and let me check what's going wrong with your setup.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check now.

I've adjsuted the "Query Filter" for the taxonomy so it will have "OR" clause with query.

Also, You can add the [wpv-found-count] showtcode within the view's "Loop Editor" section. As you are using the AJAX update you will have to put that within the view's "Loop Editor" section.

<div class="item-count">[wpv-found-count] items  </div>

Thanks. The Or operator now is working, but how can I adjust the "Query Filter" on my live site now? Previously that was editable. How did you adjust it?

And yes I understand I can put [wpv-found-count] with the view's loop, but it had been working within the filter as well until I added that code above to my functions file. I'm guessing that has caused it to not take effect in the Filter area any longer right?

To update the query filter on your live site.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
- Edit your view
- Navigate to "Search and Pagination" section and try to "cut" (ctrl+x) the follwoing line temporaryly.

[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="product_cat" type="checkboxes" url_param="product_cat"]

- Refresh the edit view page and now with the "Query Filter" section you should be able to edit the query filter for your taxonomy, click on edit button and select the option "Any of the values" and save the query filter.
- Navigate to "Search and Pagination" section and paste the line you cut before at the same place where you added it:

[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="product_cat" type="checkboxes" url_param="product_cat"]

And yes I understand I can put [wpv-found-count] with the view's loop, but it had been working within the filter as well until I added that code above to my functions file. I'm guessing that has caused it to not take effect in the Filter area any longer right?
==>
In order to ensure that the issue is due to the Toolset hook you added to your functions file, what if you try to disable that hook for a moment and check if you see it working, if yes, indeed that would be the cause.

Thanks, this works, but is this really the way it's supposed to work? I have to remove a shortcode to get the query filter to show it's settings again... isn't this a serious bug?

I know legacy views isn't really worked on anymore, but so many of us still use it. Really wish Toolset revisited this.

Yes - this is known and we alerady have internal ticket for that but we have other major issues to work on. The fix will be made available in future but there is no ETA on it.
