Simple answer is yes. Everything works with the custom meta fields added by WooCommerce and with categories and tags. What do you want to do with those fields? If you explain what you’re trying to do a little more, so I understand what your goals are, I can point you in the right direction on how to do what you want to do with Pods.
Hi Josh,
That’s not an easy question to answer. My expertise is Drupal where I am soooo used to working with cck and views. The best answer I can give you is that I would like to be able to do custom views with categories and tags, for example Category is Shirts and tags are color:red,blue,green. A resulting “view” might be Shirts with fields sku, price, description and color, sortable by color or price. That’s just one of many scenarios but the most typical that I can think of.
Also, my client would probably want to use the sorting and filtering for product and sales reports.
Also, while I have you… In Drupal, there is a plugin to the views module that is called bulk operations that allows bulk editing of fields. Is there such a function in Pods that would allow bulk editing of fields and/or tags and categories?
Thanks for your help and quick response!!
For the first half of your question, you can extend the product custom post type from WooCommerce with Pods, and then use Pods to work with it, I think just using WP_Query makes more sense for getting posts by category or tag. Pods is adding an extra layer of abstraction there, which I’m not sure is needed.
For your second question, no, not in Pods, though we do have CSV import. But remember that if you use the default meta storage, these fields are totally standard and can be used with any plugin that supports custom post types and custom fields. I’m sure there is a good bulk edit plugin out there, I’ve just never had the need for one.
