Here’s what I’m attempting to do and where.
In the check out process for an order, in the plug-in WooCommerce; you are taken to a page when the check out is process is complete. It displays an overview of the order details. The template file used to output this page is order-details.php.
Here’s what I’d like to add
I would like to display the product’s product category like so:
This is area of code I’m attempting to add to, the first section of the order details table.
<tbody>
<?php
if ( sizeof( $order->get_items() ) > 0 ) {
foreach( $order->get_items() as $item ) {
$_product = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_product', $order->get_product_from_item( $item ), $item );
$item_meta = new WC_Order_Item_Meta( $item['item_meta'], $_product );
?>
<tr class="<?php echo esc_attr( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_class', 'order_item', $item, $order ) ); ?>">
<td class="product-name">
<?php
if ( $_product && ! $_product->is_visible() )
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_name', $item['name'], $item );
else
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_name', sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_permalink( $item['product_id'] ), $item['name'] ), $item );
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_quantity_html', ' <strong class="product-quantity">' . sprintf( '× %s', $item['qty'] ) . '</strong>', $item );
This is my understanding so far;
- That a custom query is being applied.
- That for each product listed details are being echoed.
- That a WooCommerce Class is being used to get specific product meta.
My understandings are observations at my current knowledge level.
What I was hoping was that I could use something like
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_name', ' <strong class="product-category">' . e_( $item['product_cat'] ) . '</strong>', $item );
I can’t find a more relevant filter and I’m really not sure that [‘product_cat’] is even relevant here. This is an example of the way I’m attempting to solve my requirement.
As you can tell, I don’t work in PHP full time. I’m learning as much as I can when I can. Advise would be greatly appreciated
This is how you might add the product categories to the Product title. I don’t particularly like how it is outputting for me, but then I am testing it on a variable subscription, so that is amending its own data. This would go in your theme’s functions.php
Otherwise you could copy the
order-details.php
template into your own theme (soyourtheme/woocommerce/order/order-details.php
and add the code directly. This would give you more control over where you want the category to appear since there aren’t a lot of hooks available in this section, but put you at risk if WooCommerce ever modifies this code. I have worked on a few sites that broke because the the theme was using outdated template.Any way, an example would be:
