Hi,

Thank you for using WCPT and writing in with your query!

Unless I am mistaken, I think you are referring to a ‘woocommerce’ feature and not a WCPT feature.

WCPT does not create, edit or have anything to do with pickup / shipping options on your site. It only shows products in a table instead of a grid.

To test that WCPT has nothing to do with this problem, you can try disabling WCPT on your site and the issue will still continue.

Functionality regarding pickup / shipping options is handled by woocommerce or other 3rd party woocommerce shipping plugins. Perhaps you can check with the WooCommerce support team how about your questions regarding shipping and pickup.

If you have further questions about this for me please feel free to ask and I will do my best to help with it.

The ids you enter are for the variable products, not the product variations. So you need to enter the product ids for those 20 variable products you mentioned in order to display their variations in the table.

[product_table id=”10″ product_variations=”true” ids=”100, 101, 102, 103…″]

In the above example 100, 101, 102, 103… are ids for variable products. The table will display all their product variations in the table.

Also – in case these 20 variable products happen to be the only variable products on your entire site then you do not even need to use the ids shortcode attribute to target them. Juse use product_variations=”true” in your table and that will be enough. This is only true if the table settings > Query does not have any category / sku / product ids selected in it.

How this works – by default the plugin attempts to display all the products on your site in any given table. So if no query is set for the table the plugin is already targeting all the products including variable products.

But you still need to use product_variations=”true” to tell the plugin you only want product variations showing up from the current query.

As soon as you use the shortcode attribute product_variations=”true” in your shortcode, the plugin starts targeting only product variations for display in the table. So any variable products that fall in the current query are converted into product variations and those are displayed in separate rows.

I hope this information helps. Please ensure you refer to the doc I linked in my previous reply. However, if you have any other questions about this please feel free to reach out again.

Hi,

Thank you for using WCPT!

Firstly, my apologies for this issue. This problem has a simple fix – go to wp admin > product tables > settings (main settings page of the plugin) > scroll down to the Save settings button and you will find a Reset settings button next to it. Use it to reset the main settings of the plugin. This is not going to reset your tables, they will remain intact. It will only reset the main settings of the plugin.

Unfortunately there was a bug in between that caused search to not work correctly on some installations because of the initial data not getting stored correctly. A reset ensures the data is re-installed correctly. So, after you apply this simple fix once the issue will never come up again.

Also, it is fixed in the upcoming version of the plugin so it will not bother you in future downloads either.

However, once again, the inconvenience is regretted!

PS – And thank you for going PRO! 🙂
I am marking this topic as resolved as I think this suggestion should work perfectly. Please feel free to reopen the topic if required.

Appears you have resolved the issue yourself! For everyone else’s reference – the issue originated from a user role manager plugin that modified the administrator user role on the site. This caused problems because WCPT requires admin user role to provide access to editor pages. However, WCPT also allows the admin to change who can access the admin pages via a user role plugin.

Hi Tamas,

Thank you for sending in your custom code and further details over mail.

From my email:

The reason why this is not working for you on WCPT Lite is because the add to cart system in WCPT Lite is not designed to support such customizations. It is only meant to support the standard add to cart system of WooCommerce.

However, in PRO v2.0.0 onward I have entirely rewritten the add to cart system to support more complex customizations such as this one. The modification is a massive overhaul but it has improved the overall system a fair bit allowing integrations with more 3rd party woocommerce plugins and custom code.

Your code works without any issue when used with WCPT PRO. I have just tested it (with the fixes I provided).

If you would like to get a PRO license and download the plugin please go here. Also, you may like to check out other PRO features.

I will be bringing the new system over to WCPT Lite as well, however the update cycle on PRO is much faster and the changes will reach Lite probably in a month.

Hi,

Thank you for using WCPT and sending in your query.

“WCPT is fantastic!”
I am glad you are liking the plugin! 🙂

1. “Sticky header”
Due to certain unpredictable factors like sticky menu, a sticky table header is tricky to provide as a generalized solution in the plugin. It will break the UI for many users unless it is carefully managed. However, I am happy to set this up for users who really need it as part of custom work.

—

2. “Numbered boxes”
A similar facility is definitely on the todo list. I understand there are shops that would like to help customers just to exact pages immediately. Accordingly a numbered dropdown or input box option is planned for the pagination. However, there are several other urgent and priority updates in development before this so it will take some time to get to.

Meanwhile if you need a temporary quick fix I can direct you to the plugin file and code you need to modify to add more pagination boxes. However, please note – this is a temporary solution only as the plugin files are completely overwritten whenever a wordpress plugin is updated. Modification:

Go to – site root / wp-content / plugins / wc-product-table / templates / pagination.php

Now on line 22 replace:
‘mid_size’ => 1,
with:
‘mid_size’ => 3,

You can change the figure ‘3’ to experiment with the number of buttons.

However, as I said, this is only a temporary fix if you need to change it urgently. Since you have mentioned this requirement I’m increasing the priority of the future pagination facility, but your patience is appreciated!

3. “Caching”
Caching enhancements are definitely in the todo list as well. However, there are some challenges around compatibility with user role and private category plugins and custom code that modifies the output based on audience. Most definitely there will be enhancements on this front as well in the future. I appreciate the input.

Meanwhile, I will recommend ensuring you have memcached enabled on your server, please check with your host. It can make a dramatic difference by caching and speeding up database calls. Also, experimenting with beefier server resources or reducing the number of products per page might help as well.

In general WCPT is definitely going to see enhancements to improve performance on sites with massive catalog lists like yours (10K+) in the near future.

I must add a caveat that some feature enhancements are only going to be part of WCPT PRO. You can check out the current PRO feature list here. This separation is required to support the plugin development.

I hope WCPT continues helping your shop into the future! Please write in again if you have any further input or require support: wcproducttable@gmail.com

PS – Marking this topic as resolved for now as I think my response should be sufficient. However, please feel free to reopen the ticket if you need to discuss further.

Hi JB,

Thank you for using WCPT and writing in with your query.

The two facilities you asked about – print table and table footer are unfortunately not available in this plugin right now.

These are certainly on the todo list for the future. However, currently there are several other highly requested features that are being built for the plugin, so these will take a little time to get to.

Therefore, if these requirements are essential for your project you might want to consider some other table solution. I will do my best to get to these requirements eventually fulfilled as well.

Kartik

PS – Marking this topic as resolved as I do not believe I can assist further with this unfortunately. However, if you have further queries about this or I can help you with another aspect of the plugin please feel free to reopen the topic, I will be happy to answer your queries.
