WooCommerce custom product categories hierarchical menu code WordPress
- SOLVED
I am building a car parts woocoomerce site. I have registered several custom product categories like the example code showing car makers and car models custom product category:
function bss_custom_taxo_makes() {
$single = 'Make'; $plural = 'Makes';
$labels = array(
'name' => $single,
'singular_name' => $single,
'menu_name' => '- '.$plural,
'all_items' => 'All '.$plural,
// 'parent_item' => 'Parent '.$single,
// 'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent '.$single.':',
'new_item_name' => 'New '.$single,
'add_new_item' => 'Add New '.$single,
'edit_item' => 'Edit '.$single,
'update_item' => 'Update '.$single,
'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate '.$plural.' with commas',
'search_items' => 'Search '.$plural,
'add_or_remove_items' => 'Add or remove '.$plural,
'choose_from_most_used' => 'Choose from the most used '.$plural
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => FALSE,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'bss_prod_makes', 'product', $args );
}
function bss_custom_taxo_models() {
$single = 'Model'; $plural = 'Models';
$labels = array(
'name' => $single,
'singular_name' => $single,
'menu_name' => '- '.$plural,
'all_items' => 'All '.$plural,
// 'parent_item' => 'Parent '.$single,
// 'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent '.$single.':',
'new_item_name' => 'New '.$single,
'add_new_item' => 'Add New '.$single,
'edit_item' => 'Edit '.$single,
'update_item' => 'Update '.$single,
'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate '.$plural.' with commas',
'search_items' => 'Search '.$plural,
'add_or_remove_items' => 'Add or remove '.$plural,
'choose_from_most_used' => 'Choose from the most used '.$plural
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => FALSE,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'bss_prod_models', 'product', $args );
}
My issue is this: I wish to display a list menu that is hierarchical. For Example on the main shop page i would show a list of makers like so :
- Audi
- BMW
- Fiat
- Ford
If the visitor clicked Fiat for example, then i would want to show subcategories based upon this logic:
All models custom product type (bss_prod_models) where the makers custom product type (bss_prod_makes) is equal to 'Fiat"
- Audi
- BMW
- Fiat
- - Brava
- - Bravo
- - Coupe
- Ford

That looks similar to what I am trying to achieve - is it using custom product types ?

You can use following function

And to show child you can use parent argument as shown here

thanks but the custom prod categories are not hierarchical themselves i.e. they have no direct relationship, I need dynamically relate the models belonging to a car make by finding all the products with the specific car make and parsing all the models that belong to that make if you see what I mean
User180917 comments:
also if the resulting code is too intensive (its a large product catalog) I would pre-cache the results of this to avoid overloading the site.
Arnav Joy comments:
can you show screenshot of the admin to understand better how you have configured it?
or if it is ok, you can provide me access so I can check my self

Hi User180917!
"thanks but the custom prod categories are not hierarchical themselves i.e. they have no direct relationship, I need dynamically relate the models belonging to a car make by finding all the products with the specific car make and parsing all the models that belong to that make if you see what I mean"
Do you have to create those categories non-hierarchically?
I mean, couldn't you create sub-categories already that are have car models under each specific maker?
Cheers

I'm not using categories - I'm using custom product types
