Social Marketplace LOOKS great, but it’s pretty bloated and clunky once you plug in all the things you need . . and the support is woefully slow AND you cant search a forum for answers (unlike WC vendors) . . they hardly ever upgrade the software either.

Same page, sounds like you are logged in but not as a vendor, but as a user. Would that be right?

Hi Roy – WC Vendors recommended me to Codable for ad hoc work and I have been working with Justin there, all with WC Vendors on Buddypress with Marketplace.

Knows WC very well, great price and easy to deal with

Hi Anna and Tone

Found the answer, I remember now. You need to login at least once as the vendor

There is the KB article

Hi Tone

I also use the BB One Social Marketplace. It’s a known issue and I ended up asking the BB Marketplace support people to login and make it work/show the stores. You need to have product active for each vendor and store from memory, but there was some additional trick to it.

Likely you will find it isnt a WC vendors issue.

Morning Anna, great to meet you! Ben I hope this means you can finally have that holiday in the bahamas?

Hi Guys. I’ve just done this with Facet WP and have a nice shiny new search page on the front. I went down the path initially with Listable (i am guessing you did this to get non purchasable items) but ended up going woo with catalog mode so that a store contained everything the vendor offers.

Daniel if you wanna know how I did it just ask

Hi Tricia – are these extra fields in the application form for a vendor or once a vendor has actually joined?

H Luke – On WC Vendors recommendation I have been using codable.io for wc vendors dev requests. the developer I found is Saad, and he knows the wc vendors platform well.

A small edit to the original form, I’ve managed to get this to work so that the ACF field data is specific to a particular ACF field group, not just “any” field group that is user form edit/new .. . . and more importantly the form field on the front end actually saves the data back to teh vendor profile.

*
* This will display + save any custom fields applicable to the vendor_shop in question. Second one displays the fields, you can adjust the action it’s attached to in order * to move the fields (see templates/dashboard/store-settings.php in the pro plugin for possible actions). You could also split and display different fields in different * places – see the docs for acf_form, you can select single/groups of fields.
* http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/
* Also possible via acf_form to alter the markup a bit to make it fit your theme.
*
* This code is not supported by WC Vendors, use at your own risk and at your own discretion.

add_action(‘wcvendors_settings_after_shop_name’, ‘wcv_save_acf_fields’);
function wcv_save_acf_fields() {
acf_form_head();
}

add_action(‘wcvendors_settings_after_seller_info’, ‘wcv_add_acf_fields’);
function wcv_add_acf_fields() {
acf_form( array(
‘post_id’ => ‘user_’.get_current_user_id(), // $user_profile,
‘field_groups’ => array(5720), (Note from me, this array number is the number of the form, so you only pull that form number)
‘form’ => true,
‘return’ => false,
‘submit_value’ => ‘Update’
) );
}

// if you have media upload fields (file/image), they won’t work, and further, the existing branding uploaders for icon etc break.
// this is because acf alters the uploader init to pass a post_id, and vendor users don’t have ‘edit_post’ capabilities, assume you guys are handling this somewhere else
// this snippet adds a filter in so that if we are trying to ‘edit_post’ on our own published vendor store, it will be allowed – restoring media upload.

add_filter(‘user_has_cap’, ‘wcv_vendor_has_cap’, 4, 99);
function wcv_vendor_has_cap($allcaps, $caps, $args, $user) {
if ($args[0] == ‘edit_post’) {
$post = get_post($args[2]);
if ($post->post_type == ‘vendor_store’ && $post->post_author == $user->ID) {
$allcaps[‘edit_published_posts’] = true;
}
}
return $allcaps;

Hi Guys – how are you addressing this in ACF in the locations area (to add the fields to the vendor?)

OK – I worked it out. I changed the product listing options for the vendor to “check list” and then I used the plugin “https://wordpress.org/plugins/radio-buttons-for-taxonomies/” (Radio Buttons for Taxonomies).

that limited everythting to one category.

The CSS is a mess and it looks awful BUT it works. I can Unfk the CSS later in the week 🙂

Did you log the support ticket with Themekraft, they make the BP WC Vendors plugin?

nearly all the paid membership plugins will do that. WPMU membership 2, s2 member, ultimate member and a few others come to mind, the trick is if you want to use buddypress not wanting to overlap too many features. Im using WPMU membership 2 as for the cost it gives me a truckload of support and other tools

Hi Alex, there are tools you can do that with. Suggest checking out the awesoem work from Themekraft here

http://themekraft.com/free-marketplace-buddypress-woocommerce-wc-vendors/

Sven has a plugin that does that for you and it works very well with cross BP/Woo integration.

Also check out buddyforms whilst you are there

I second that, attribute values per category would also be of value. If you were a shoe shop and also sold boot polish for example having attributes for the boot polish category, separate to the shoe category. Searching would be smarter etc
