Save attributes befor update product

Hi there,

Can you show us your code of what you have currently?

Kind regards,

Hi, shure, that’s the code:

`//CREATE BUTTON IN THE BACKEND FOR AUTOFILL SHORT DESCRIPTION AND TAGS
add_action( ‘post_submitbox_misc_actions’, function() { #add a button near the publish/update button
global $post;

$attribute_names_for_tags = array( ‘pa_marca’, ‘pa_modello’, ‘pa_tipologia’, ‘pa_tipo-prodotto’, ‘pa_codice-oem’, ‘pa_codice-concorrenza’, ‘pa_stato’ ); #get the taxonomies for autofill tags

foreach ( $attribute_names_for_tags as $attribute_name ) {
$taxonomy = get_taxonomy( $attribute_name );

if ( $taxonomy && ! is_wp_error( $taxonomy ) ) {
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, $attribute_name );
$terms_array = array();

if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
$archive_link = get_term_link( $term->slug, $attribute_name );
$full_line = $term->name;
array_push( $terms_array, $full_line );
}
$tags .= implode( $terms_array, ‘, ‘ ).’,’;
}
}
}

$attribute_names_for_desc = array( ‘pa_marca’, ‘pa_modello’, ‘pa_codice-oem’, ‘pa_codice-concorrenza’ ); #get the taxonomies for autofill short-description

foreach ( $attribute_names_for_desc as $attribute_name ) {
$taxonomy = get_taxonomy( $attribute_name );

if ( $taxonomy && ! is_wp_error( $taxonomy ) ) {
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, $attribute_name );
$terms_array = array();

if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
$archive_link = get_term_link( $term->slug, $attribute_name );
$full_line = $term->name;
array_push( $terms_array, $full_line );
}
$short_desc .= ucwords(ltrim(str_replace(‘-‘, ‘ ‘, $taxonomy->name), ‘pa_’)) . ‘: ‘ . implode( $terms_array, ‘, ‘ ).'<br>’;
}
}
}

?>
<div class=”options_group”>
<p class=”form_field” style=”text-align:center;”>
<input type=”button” class=”button button-primary” value=”AUTOFILL DESCRIZIONE BREVE & TAGS” onclick=”document.getElementById(‘new-tag-product_tag’).value='<?php echo substr($tags, 0, strlen($tags)-1); ?>’;document.querySelector(‘.tagadd’).click();document.getElementById(‘excerpt_ifr’).contentWindow.document.getElementById(‘tinymce’).innerHTML='<?php echo $short_desc; ?>’;”>
</p>
</div>
<?php
} );

How do you currently try to save the values you get?

My first approach would be to save my values as post meta: update_post_meta coupled with an ajax call to avoid reloading.

However digging into core, why not make the call: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/a871d36380bb4cfd4f94bf952af754301433d67b/includes/class-wc-ajax.php#L556-L574 – possibly prepared by using: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/18873ac9a7372c75eea6eee2d49e65c64a0e027d/includes/admin/meta-boxes/class-wc-meta-box-product-data.php#L217-L269

For custom data you can try and check out this post: https://remicorson.com/mastering-woocommerce-products-custom-fields/

Kind regards,

Howdy!

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please start a new thread.

Cheers!

In the end I used this code in function.php to autofill my woocommerce products short-description and tags by custom attributes:

function autofill_desc_and_tags( $post_id ) {
	global $post;
	global $wpdb;
	
	$attribute_names_for_tags = array( 'pa_marca', 'pa_modello', 'pa_tipologia', 'pa_tipo-prodotto', 'pa_codice-oem', 'pa_codice-concorrenza', 'pa_stato' ); #get the taxonomies for autofill tags
 
	foreach ( $attribute_names_for_tags as $attribute_name ) {
		$taxonomy = get_taxonomy( $attribute_name );
 
		if ( $taxonomy && ! is_wp_error( $taxonomy ) ) {
			$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, $attribute_name );
			$terms_array = array();
 
			if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
				foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
					$archive_link = get_term_link( $term->slug, $attribute_name );
					$full_line = $term->name;
					array_push( $terms_array, $full_line );
				}
				$tags .= implode( $terms_array, ', ' ).',';
			}
		}
	}
	wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $tags, 'product_tag');
 
	$attribute_names_for_desc = array( 'pa_marca', 'pa_modello', 'pa_codice-oem', 'pa_codice-concorrenza' ); #get the taxonomies for autofill short-description
 
	foreach ( $attribute_names_for_desc as $attribute_name ) {
		$taxonomy = get_taxonomy( $attribute_name );
 
		if ( $taxonomy && ! is_wp_error( $taxonomy ) ) {
			$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, $attribute_name );
			$terms_array = array();
 
			if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
				foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
					$archive_link = get_term_link( $term->slug, $attribute_name );
					$full_line = $term->name;
					array_push( $terms_array, $full_line );
				}
				$short_desc .= ucwords(ltrim(str_replace('-', ' ', $taxonomy->name), 'pa_')) . ': ' . implode( str_replace('>', '>', $terms_array), ', ' ).'\n';
			}
		}
	}   
    $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare("UPDATE iri_posts 
                SET post_excerpt = '$short_desc'
				WHERE ID = $post_id")
    );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'autofill_desc_and_tags' );

Thank you all for your attention and suggestions!
