In Woocommerce, I have a report in the admin area that tallies up products sold.There are only 5 products sold on the site but there are 1 or 2 variations on some. The report works great but ignores the variations.
I need to retrieve the attribute value from items ordered to display the data accurately.
How do I do this?
get_variation_description()
is not working the way I'm applying it.
My code:
$order = wc_get_order( $vs);
//BEGIN NEW RETRIEVE ORDER ITEMS FROM ORDER
foreach( $order->get_items() as $item_id => $item_product ){
$ods = $item_product->get_product_id(); //Get the product ID
$odqty= $item_product->get_quantity(); //Get the product QTY
$item_name = $item_product->get_name(); //Get the product NAME
$item_variation = $item_product->get_variation_description(); //NOT WORKING
}
2020 Update - Handling "Custom Product Attributes" (revamped code)
The WC_Product method get_variation_description()
is outdated and deprecated. It's replaced by get_description()
method. So you need to get the WC_Product
object first.
To get the selected variation attributes, you will use
get_variation_attributes( )
method.
// Get an instance of the WC_Order object from an Order ID
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
// Loop though order "line items"
foreach( $order->get_items() as $item_id => $item ){
$product_id = $item->get_product_id(); //Get the product ID
$quantity = $item->get_quantity(); //Get the product QTY
$product_name = $item->get_name(); //Get the product NAME
// Get an instance of the WC_Product object (can be a product variation too)
$product = $item->get_product();
// Get the product description (works for product variation too)
$description = $product->get_description();
// Only for product variation
if( $product->is_type('variation') ){
// Get the variation attributes
$variation_attributes = $product->get_variation_attributes();
// Loop through each selected attributes
foreach($variation_attributes as $attribute_taxonomy => $term_slug ){
// Get product attribute name or taxonomy
$taxonomy = str_replace('attribute_', '', $attribute_taxonomy );
// The label name from the product attribute
$attribute_name = wc_attribute_label( $taxonomy, $product );
// The term name (or value) from this attribute
if( taxonomy_exists($taxonomy) ) {
$attribute_value = get_term_by( 'slug', $term_slug, $taxonomy )->name;
} else {
$attribute_value = $term_slug; // For custom product attributes
}
}
}
}
Tested and works for a product variation as all other product types…
