Shortcode for product variations

Hi,

lapatente has hired me and I have created such shortcode via a plugin.

It shows the variation title linked to product page. Also shows the variation attributes and stock level.

Not sure if this should be turned into a PR at github or simply released here at WordPress.org…

Any advices?

Cheers,
Gabriel

Hi Mike,

A PR it will be then.

I have a solution.

Use the shortcode: [add_to_cart id="971"], with 971 being the id of the variation product, or rather, the unique id of a variation of a variable product.

Then for some reason I have to edit the actual woocommerce file “class-wc-shortcodes.php” becasue I can’t seem to get my theme file to override it.

1. Open class-wc-shortcodes.php
2. Look for the function with comment Display a single product price + cart button., should be line 419.
3. Then look for line: <?php if ( 'true' == $atts['show_price'] ) : ?>
4. Inside there should be <?php echo $product->get_price_html(); ?>
5. Now just add new things like:

• <?php echo $product->get_title(); ?>
• <?php echo $product->get_categories(); ?>
• <?php echo $product->get_sku(); ?>
• <?php echo $product->get_image(); ?>

Of course, you can get more detailed and put divs and things to style the output to look just like you are outputting a normal product using the shortcode [product sku="ZN1U0000RS"] for example.

This would be such sensationally easy functionality for woocommerce to add, i.e. when you put in the shortcode [product sku="ZN1U0000RS"] for example, it outputs the same regardless of whether it is a simple or variation of a variable product. Sometimes I want my client to add the variation I suggest, instead of having them go to the variable product page to select a variation. An sku is an sku. An id is an id. A variation of a product should be treated just like any other product. It deserved the same respect.
