I’m currently working on a WooCommerce theme and attempting to add a sidebar to the product detail page.
I’ve been able to get the sidebar added (specifically, this one: http://woocommerce.wp-a2z.org/oik_file/templatescontent-widget-product-php/)
Now, I’m trying to figure out how to add a class of “active” to the currently selected product and can’t seem to figure it out?
In other words, how do I do something along the lines of if the current product id is equal to the product id in the sidebar add class=”active” to the li?
I’ve made numerous searches and haven’t been able to come up with anything useful, so I’m turning here.
Any help greatly appreciated!!
2017 Update – since WooCommerce 3:
Woocommerce doesn’t like you accessing those variables directly. This will get rid of any warnings from woocommerce if your wp_debug is true.
If the query hasn’t been modified by a plugin for some reason, you should be able to get a single product page’s “id” via
OR
EDIT: As of WooCommerce 3.0 this needs to be
Since WooCommerce
2.2
you are able to simply use thewc_get_product
Method. As an argument you can pass theID
or simply leave it empty if you’re already in the loop.OR with 2 lines
Retrieve the ID of the current item in the WordPress Loop.
hence works for the product id too. #tested #woo-commerce
The correct method is:
Save the current product id before entering your loop:
Then in your loop for your sidebar, use $product->id again to compare:
your can query woocommerce programatically
you can even add a product to your shopping cart.
I’m sure you can figure out how to interact with woocommerce cart once you read the code.
