WooCommerce Page Templates

Hi,

I have done lot of researching but no luck so far. The question / problem is:

Example, if you choose on the Shop page’s Page Attributes your Template file, like “my-custom-template” it do not take any effect. I can’t do any if statement checks which template file user is chosen or anything.

get_page_template(); echo out always url/to/page.php even if my-custom-template is chosen in the Shop page’s Page Attributes.

So, all what I would like to do is:
1) Make custom template file like customtemplate.php
2) Named it Template Name: Custom Template
3) Make if statement in product-archive.php file, if(is_page_template('customtemplate.php')){ echo 'Do something cool'; }

Thank you.

I think this is what you are asking: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/61667/different-template-of-products-for-specific-category-woocommerce

See: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#custom-taxonomies

Actually it isn’t. I have good feeling how I could use custom template in the Shop page but I can’t figure out how I can make it dynamically. Like I said, in normal WordPress Pages if I echo out get_page_template(); it shows it’s template, page.php if default and custom if chosen. But if I make same check in WooCommerce page, it shows always only page.php no matter what.

Your URL’s talking about how to show templates for specific taxonomies.

This is all what I would like to do.
```
// If user has selected custom template
if( is_page_template( 'mycustomtemplate-for-shop-page.php ) ) {
    echo 'Do something';

// If user use default template
} else {
    echo 'Default';
}
```
But the problem is the output what WooCommerce pages give from get_page_template function, it’s always the same no matter what.

Product attributes are a taxonomy. From the original question it sounded like you wanted to display a different templates based on the attribute being viewed.

I think I understand what you mean now though. The WooCommerce shop page doesn’t use the page template system. The shop page becomes an archive – similar to how the posts page works.

You could use wc_get_page_id: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/includes/wc-page-functions.php#L46 to find the id of the page set to be the shop page. Then you can use get_post_meta to find the page template set on that page. I believe the meta is _wp_page_template.

Please could you explain…I want to edit my shop page (pull in a widget/sidebar at bottom) and can’t figure out how to do it. Editing the archive-product.php page doesn’t work..seems to be using something else but can’t figure out what.
Thanks
