Hello,
This issue, with WooCommerce Price Based on Country, also applies to WC Booster (https://booster.io/features/woocommerce-prices-and-currencies-by-country/).
The Product Search plugin has a static method get_min_max_price located in the WooCommerce_Product_Search_Service class.
But the problem is that it does not provide a filter to override the values. Hence, even with the API and the available filters/hooks, the developers at Booster would not be able to override the queries required to modify the min and max prices to get Booster work with Product Search, especially regarding the Product Search price filter/slider.
There is a filter on the native WooCommerce Price Filter called woocommerce_price_filter_sql that allows to filter the sql required to get the min and max values.
Maybe, you can add such a filter in the next update. This will make it more accessible to developers and users, and get Product Search more compatible.
Thanks.
Hi Oshin,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I think it makes sense to have such a filter for that method and we will add it in an upcoming release (if possible, it might be included in the next upcoming one).
Cheers
Hello, I saw comments about the integration with Woocommerce brands, does this native integration already exist or need to be customized after purchasing the plugin?
Hi,
The integration with WooCommerce Brands is automatic, please see Is it possible to search for custom fields or metadata, to find products by vendor, brand, manufacturer, part number … ? in the FAQ section of the documentation for further info.
Cheers
In version 2.17.0 search doesn’t show results when the searching term (SKU) contains a dash.
Hi Christopher,
Searching for SKUs with a dash is supported as the search engine’s indexer is aware of those, but I would recommend to also update to the latest version and make sure that you don’t have any conflicting plugins or customizations in place. You might also try rebuilding the index.
Cheers
We have purchased this plugin and would like to be able to add a filter (similar to the categories widget) for a custom taxonomy – is this possible? Is there any developer level documentation that would cover this?
Hi Ben,
We provide the API documentation here.
Cheers
Hi – looking into dropping support for WC Brands (https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/wc-brands/ ) into your plugin, to add this as a filter for use in widgets – it’s basically a custom taxonomy.
Would you be interested in a PR (I am on private repo for this btw in Woo Github – where it says to contact you here!) – or is this something you could give a quick steer on?
Hi Robin,
I have seen many cases where simply using a product attribute was covering the need to work with brands. That’s what I would recommend to try out first before deciding to tackle an enhancement. WooCommerce Product Search also adds support for icons on attribute terms which covers the typical case where you need to display brand icons within the filter.
If that works out for you, you won’t need to code anything, but I’d of course be interested to see how you would approach integrating it with the Brands extension if you prefer to use that. There is some limited support for custom taxonomies already built into WooCommerce Product Search which might also be helpful.
Cheers
Hi,
I’m the developer of WooCommerce Price Based on Country plugin. A customer of mine has informed me of a compatibility issue between your plugin and Price Based on Country. After reading the plugin code and running several tests, I have found the problem and the solution.
Unfortunately, I can not apply the solution. The solution should be applied on your plugin.
If you’re interested in integrating the two plugins, please contact me.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Oscar,
Thanks, sure let’s have a look, I’ll get in touch.
Cheers
Great! That fixed it. Thanks.
I have words like Café Latte in my colour section. They load initially fine but then when the extension updates the search the name comes through as Café Latte. Can you look into this?
This is related to an optimization option that is incompatible with your theme’s templates – please see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-product-search/faq/#section-12 on what to disable to solve it.
