Good morning Ben & Jamie!
Quick Q’s:
My goal is to provide a text field for buyers to enter information if a product will be personalized. (i.e. name for engraving). This information would also need to output on the product orders page/receipt for the vendor, so the vendor could easily and clearly see what personalized information is needed for this product. Similarly I am hoping this can help me also add a “note to seller” box as well.1. Is this the appropriate format/blueprint I would work with to properly integrate with WooTheme’s Product Add-ons?
2. Do you foresee any difficulties with integrating with this plugin? I assume not, but since Woo’s plugins are a little pricey, I though I’d ask before purchasing.
Thank you!
1.) It should work. It’s just going to require some coding, which I have no doubt you can competently do. See #2
2.) Some difficulty. If you wanted to integrate it word for word function for function, you’d have a hell of a time. But it doesnt sound like you need all that, just the basic things to “work”. Here’s what you’d do:
– Create a product as an admin with product addons
– Create a product as an admin with all the same details but WITHOUT the product addon fields touched at all, aka a normal product
– Go to phpmyadmin and get all the post_meta for both of the product ID
– Compare the meta keys and values and see what new meta keys and meta values that the product with product addons added.
– Integrate those fields into your Pro add/edit product formThen, your vendors can use the fields you want them to simply, rather than giving them full access to create everything like you, the admin, could with product addons.
Thank you, Ben. That gives me a very good place to start. 🙂 I expected this would require coding, for sure.
I appreciate your guidance, and the steps to check and see what will be needed for the specific addon features I’ll need.I’m off to give this a shot! 🙂
-OOPS.. I see in my original question I didn’t post a link. What I meant to ask in my #1 question above:
Is this the appropriate method I would use to integrate with the woothemes addons: https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/integration-woocommerce-product-gift-wrap/ ?Yup, that’s the method you’d use. You can also see the other KB article https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/adding-a-custom-field-for-products/ as well as the Simple Auctions integration https://github.com/wcvendors/wcvendors-pro-simple-auctions for more snippets that may be useful for you. 🙂
Is there possible fully integration with this plugin (Product Add-ons) ? I’m trying to do that now by adding a tab with a filter -> wcv_product_meta_tabs and later I have override template product_edit.php , then i tried adding the tab this way
<div class=”wcv_product_add-ons tabs-content” id=”add-ons”>
<?php $add_ons = new Product_Addon_Admin();
$add_ons->panel();
?>
</div>Have you got some information / ideas here ? It’s really important for us to make it fully work (we’ve got pro version if it changes anything).
Michal: Calling another plugins functions from within the WC Vendors Pro add/edit product form will certainly not work (at all). You want to follow the advice I provided earlier in this thread:
Yup, that’s the method you’d use. You can also see the other KB article https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/adding-a-custom-field-for-products/ as well as the Simple Auctions integration https://github.com/wcvendors/wcvendors-pro-simple-auctions for more snippets that may be useful for you.Hi Anna,
Did you get any further with this and if so could you share what you did?
We are looking at buying pro and this is the last of our requirements that we have to tick off. We specialise in engraving products and offering a gift wrapping service. We charge an extra fee for engraving plus an extra charge for gift wrapping. Vendors setting their own fees for these would be the target but if all have to use the same rate for each that would be the fallback position.
Thanking you in advance,
J
Ahh I’m not finished with this, no- but I am working on it. This is actually pretty important to my site, and I have another customer who is in need of this also.
You might want to take a look at this code in our KB, which gives you a good idea as to what would need to be done to work in a form like this into the PRO front end product add/edit template, and then also save the information for the order:
https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/integration-woocommerce-product-gift-wrap/Hi Anna,
Thanks for the update and for the product gift wrap tip – we are doing it a different way on our other sites but this looks like it might be the way forward.
Cheers, J
It is working fine with WC Vendors Free- I am just finishing getting different types of fields added to the front-end Pro forms. 🙂
When I have finished we can discuss this option, yes. I have another customer who is also interested in this integration, so I will let you know when I have completed and thoroughly tested this.
keep me posted… thanks.
email me for possible integration work: [email protected]Hello, checking in to see if product add-ons and gift wrapping has been included in pro or on the roadmap for integrations.
If not, or not in the near future, is there an official recommendation to making those plugins work?
Also will all the other woocommerce plugins have the same issue? I thought WC Vendor was WooCommerce compatible. I would also like to add “ask your price” from woocommerce and subscriptions. Will these have the same issues?
