I have a woocommerce web site. First I would like to add a custom field on admin product pages to set an exernal url that I will use on my Archives category product pages.
Also I would like ideally to have this custom field on my admin product pages settings metabox. But the code I have change the link on all archives pages.
For now I have this code that is not doing what I need:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_product_link_open', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item', 'mycode_woocommerce_template_loop_product_link_open', 20 );
function mycode_woocommerce_template_loop_product_link_open() {
$url = 'https://www.some_domain.com/';
echo '<a href="' . $url . '">';
}
How can I do to make it work on category archives pages only?
Thanks
Step1 - Creation of a custom field in the admin product pages setting metabox:
// Inserting a Custom Admin Field
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'add_custom_text_field_create' );
function add_custom_text_field_create() {
echo '<div class="options_group">';
woocommerce_wp_text_input( array(
'type' => 'text',
'id' => 'extern_link',
'label' => __( 'External Link', 'woocommerce' ),
'placeholder' => '',
'description' => __( 'Insert url', 'woocommerce' ),
) );
echo '</div>';
}
// Saving the field value when submitted
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'add_custom_field_text_save' );
function add_custom_field_text_save( $post_id ){
$wc_field = $_POST['extern_link'];
if( !empty( $wc_field ) )
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'extern_link', esc_attr( $wc_field ) );
}
Step 2 - Replacing the link by a custom meta value in product category archives pages only.
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_product_link_open');
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item', 'custom_wc_template_loop_product_link_open', 10 );
function custom_wc_template_loop_product_link_open() {
// For product category archives pages only.
if (is_product_category()) {
// You get here your custom link
$link = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'extern_link', true);
echo '<a href="' . $link . '" class="woocommerce-LoopProduct-link">';
//For the other woocommerce archives pages
} else {
echo '<a href="' . get_the_permalink() . '" class="woocommerce-LoopProduct-link">';
}
}
The Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
This code is tested annd works
