Fooevents – Product Type Specific Category Setup

[kaloomee]

HI
1 – With Woocommerce subscriptions I am able to set Product Type Specific Categories in ‘Product Type Specific Category Setup’
Example – Set to :- Any product listed as a ‘Product type’ ‘subscription’ can only be located in custom category ‘Subscriptions’.

How is this achievable with events? – I would like so that if a listing is an event, it can only be listed in category ‘Events’

Hi,

Well, certainly “Event” is not a product type. It’s just a product specific option.

So, this is not possible for this!

Thank You

OKay,
So….Is their any code you can supply to achieve this please

Would not want an event to be mislocated or placed in shirts for example
I would like so that if a listing is an event, it can only be listed in category ‘Events’

– Well, we can handle this other way!

On save we can check whether it’s an even product or not and associate with right category or not?

Kindly know me your site’s “Event” category ID for the purpose.

Thank You

Events category ID is – 367

Hi,

Please add this code to your site –

add_action( 'after_wcfm_products_manage_meta_save', function( $new_product_id, $wcfm_products_manage_form_data ) {
	if(isset($wcfm_products_manage_form_data['WooCommerceEventsEvent'])) {
		$WooCommerceEventsEvent = $wcfm_products_manage_form_data['WooCommerceEventsEvent'];
		if( $WooCommerceEventsEvent == 'Event' ) {
			wp_set_object_terms( $new_product_id, 367, 'product_cat' );
		}
	}	
}, 60, 2 );

Thank You

Thank you
Can you briefly explain how What this does
I have added the code
Then started to create a new events
Add new product > event tab = yes but still see the categories tab
I am sure that this works but would like to be able to explain to vendors in the’How to create an event’ help doc that I am creating.

Hi,

This code will ensure if a product added as “Event” then it will definitely associated with “Event” category.

Vendor may select any category by mistake, but this will discard those and added only Event category to the product.

Thank You
