Gosh I’m feeling exceptionally loved!!! <3 🙂
Thank you thank you thank you!

Eeeek so excited! It’s displayed 🙂

Can I be cheeky and ask for more help?
1. How do I change from a textarea to a small text box so the Crafties just add the number of days in there? Or better still a number selection box like the Stock Quantity box 😉
2. How do I display on the website Product pages? I’d want to show ‘Handmade in XX days’ filling in the XX with what the Craftie has entered in the box.

Thanks for all your help 🙂

Karen

Yay thank you so much I’m chuffed to bits! 😀 😀 😀

Look at this!

For previous products, I manually typed ‘Handmade in XX days’ to every product description!
As existing products won’t have this shiny new field filled in, is there a little trick to hide the words ‘No of days to hand make’ from the website product pages when the field is empty?

Rather than me need to enter the number of days in the new field for over 1000 products do you know?

Many thanks!

Karen

Thanks Ben,

Did I do this right:

add_action('woocommerce_product_meta_start', 'wcv_handmade', 2);
function wcv_handmade() {
    $output = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_wcv_custom_product_handmade', true ); // Change _wcv_custom_product_handmade to your meta key
    if ( isset ( $output ) ) {
    echo 'Days to Hand Make: ' . $output . '<br>';
    }
}

As it still showed the ‘Days to hand make:’ text on the product pages.

Thanks,

Karen

Thank you soon very very very much! 😀

With the handmade field filled in:

Altered the code slightly to give me the above 🙂
echo '<Strong><font size="4">HANDMADE IN ' . $output . ' DAYS</font></strong><br>';

And when the handmade field isn’t filled in 🙂

HUGE happy dance!!! 🙂

Also not essential, but if there was a way for us all to pop our new custom fields in wp-admin product pages, it would make it easier to review before publishing. Otherwise we’ll need to switch users to check they have filled in the field and if not fill it in for them. As much as I love the UserSwitching plug in, it might be a bit long winded lol! 😉

Hiya Ben,

I noticed in the change log for v1.2.0 you guys have made it so:

_wcv_custom_product is hidden

and

wcv_custom_product is shown

Does that mean I change this in my functions.php?

From:

add_action('woocommerce_product_meta_start', 'wcv_handmade', 2);
function wcv_handmade() {
    $output = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_wcv_custom_product_handmade', true ); // Change _wcv_custom_product_handmade to your meta key
    if ( !empty ( $output ) ) {
    echo '<Strong><font size="4">HANDMADE IN ' . $output . ' DAYS</font></strong><br>';
    }
}

To (remove _ before wcv_custom_product_handmade):

add_action('woocommerce_product_meta_start', 'wcv_handmade', 2);
function wcv_handmade() {
    $output = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wcv_custom_product_handmade', true ); // Change _wcv_custom_product_handmade to your meta key
    if ( !empty ( $output ) ) {
    echo '<Strong><font size="4">HANDMADE IN ' . $output . ' DAYS</font></strong><br>';
    }
}

And my new field for Handmade in xx days will appear in wp-admin product pages?

Ta,

Karen

Hiya Ben,

So do I go into my product-edit.php template and just remove the underscore from here:

and do I then remove the underscore in my functions.php too?

And will doing that have any risk of removing the data entered in the field previously or is it safe? (sorry feel the need for handholding in case I mess up!)

Many thanks,

Karen

Eeeek database… I’m scared, very scared! 😉 Can you show me how I access the tables and what they’re called?
Ta very much,
Karen 🙂

Oh wow thank you sooooo much Ben! That would be amazing, would love a little lesson when you have time. I’ll send you a message on Skype later to see when you’re free 🙂

Hi @[email protected],

Good question. I saw that it was possible to add custom fields within WCVendors Pro product form, so as I only used ACF for one field I made the switch. ACF was really stable and good plug in but I’m hoping eventually WCVendros Pro can do all the things my many plug ins do for my site now. I don’t like having lots of plug ins due to conflicts that can happen.

I really love my custom field Ben helped me with! 🙂
