With woocommerce, I used some code based on my previous thread:
Allow backorders and notify customer for specific product categories in Woocommerce
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_is_in_stock', 'filter_product_is_in_stock', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_is_in_stock( $is_in_stock, $product ){
// Here set the products categories in the array (can be terms ids, slugs or names)
$categories = array("clothing");
if( has_term( $categories, 'product_cat', $product->get_id() ) ){
$is_in_stock = true;
}
return $is_in_stock;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_backorders_allowed', 'filter_products_backorders_allowed', 10, 3 );
function filter_products_backorders_allowed( $backorder_allowed, $product_id, $product ){
// Here set the products categories in the array (can be terms ids, slugs or names)
$categories = array("clothing");
if( has_term( $categories, 'product_cat', $product_id ) ){
$backorder_allowed = true;
}
return $backorder_allowed;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_backorders_require_notification', 'filter_product_backorders_require_notification', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_backorders_require_notification( $notify, $product ){
// Here set the products categories in the array (can be terms ids, slugs or names)
$categories = array("clothing");
if( has_term( $categories, 'product_cat', $product->get_id() ) ){
$notify = true;
}
return $notify;
}
But it seems to be not working when I used the root product categories.
How can I get the root product categories in the if statements of the code?
Update 2 - 2018 Nov 17th (removed a bug and cleaned a bit)
To make it work for the parent categories, we add a custom conditional function that checks for parent product categories (where you will define your targeted parent product categories):
// Custom conditional function that checks for parent product categories
function has_parent_terms( $product_id ) {
// HERE define the parent products categories SLUGS in the array
$categories = array("clothing", "posters");
$parent_term_ids = $categories_ids = array(); // Initializing
// Convert categories term slugs to categories term ids
foreach ( $categories as $category ){
$categories_ids[] = get_term_by('slug', $category, 'product_cat')->term_id;
}
$terms = get_the_terms( $product_id, 'product_cat' );
if( ! $terms ) return false; // Check that is not empty
// Loop through the current product category terms to get only parent main category term
foreach( $terms as $term ){
if( $term->parent > 0 ){
$parent_term_ids[] = $term->parent; // Set the parent product category
} else {
$parent_term_ids[] = $term->term_id; // It is the Main category term and we set it.
}
}
return array_intersect( $categories_ids, $parent_term_ids ) ? true : false;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_is_in_stock', 'filter_product_is_in_stock', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_is_in_stock( $is_in_stock, $product ){
// For product variations
$product_id = $product->is_type('variation') ? $product->get_parent_id() : $product->get_id();
if( has_parent_terms( $product->get_id() ) ){
$is_in_stock = true;
}
return $is_in_stock;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_backorders_allowed', 'filter_products_backorders_allowed', 10, 3 );
function filter_products_backorders_allowed( $backorder_allowed, $product_id, $product ){
// For product variations
$product_id = $product->is_type('variation') ? $product->get_parent_id() : $product_id;
if( has_parent_terms( $product_id ) ){
$backorder_allowed = true;
}
return $backorder_allowed;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_backorders_require_notification', 'filter_product_backorders_require_notification', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_backorders_require_notification( $notify, $product ){
// For product variations
$product_id = $product->is_type('variation') ? $product->get_parent_id() : $product->get_id();
if( has_parent_terms( $product->get_id() ) ){
$notify = true;
}
return $notify;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
