[Closed] Specific View for products that are children of a specific term (Woocommerce)

Hi there,

I have a shop and the owner has said they want to have two types of website. one selling normal products and the other selling training courses. Now, the former is easy as it is the default setting for Woocommerce and works quite nicely with the theme I'm using.

I am stuck on whether there is a way to force a product to be displayed using a certain view if it is a child of a particular taxonomy. Do you know if this is possible or, indeed, if there is another workaround for this?

All the best,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I suggest you modify your theme file, such as single-product.php, use wp function has_term to check if current post is a child of a particular taxonomy, then output the view.

More help: Check if the current post has any of given terms.

render_view Renders a view and returns the HTML output.

Hay there,

Sorry, I used the wrong terminology there. It's my fault. What I meant was is there a way to force a product to be displayed using a certain view template?

All the best,

Steve

It is not possible with Views, but you can try create a shortcode for it, like this:
1) add codes in your theme/functions.php

function has_term_func($atts, $content) {

	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
		'term' => 'my-term',
		'taxonomy' => 'my-taxonomy',
		'condition' => 1,
	), $atts));
	$res = '';
	if( (has_term( $term, $taxonomy ) && $condition) || (!has_term( $term, $taxonomy ) && !$condition)) {
	   $res = do_shortcode($content);
	}
	return $res;
}
add_shortcode( 'has-term', 'has_term_func' );

2) merge your views template into one, put the shortcode [has-term] into it, like this

[has-term]
product that is a child of a specific term
[/has-term]

[has-term condition=0]
product that is not a child of a specific term
[/has-term]

Please let me know if you need assistance to do it
