Capabilities for Woo Vendors

Hello @connor234

What widget are you referring too? Can you show me?

Hi @alexmigf

Sure, here’s what I’m referring too, see image, whereas Vendor Admins don’t see this.

Hello @connor234

Which third party vendor plugin are you using?

Hi @alexmigf,

We are using the Product Vendors as seen here.

Hi @connor234

Our plugin follows the WooCommerce capability manage_woocommerce, plus the orders capabilities.

Hope that helps!

I’m in the same situation with the same Vendor and Role Editor plugins. Could you provide a bit more detail on the capabilities we might need to enable for vendors to be able to print invoices for their orders?

Update: Appologies. I thought perhaps your plugin was the free version of this https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-print-invoice-packing-list/ but now I see they are different (PDF vs. Print).

@alexmigf I tried setting the permissions to manage_wordpress and all order capabilities, but the vendors still don’t get that widget appear on their orders. Is there some code we can insert to allow vendors to get access to the PDFs?

Hi @chrisjkelly

Which multi vendor plugin are you using?

Hi @alexmigf,

I am using the WooCommerce Produt Vendor extension. Here’s a link: Product Vendors

Hi @chrisjkelly

Please add the right capabilities and add the code snippet below to your theme functions.php file:

add_action( 'admin_init', function() {
	if( class_exists( '\\WPO\WC\\PDF_Invoices\\Admin' ) ) {
		add_action( 'wcpv_vendor_order_detail_order_data_column', function() {
			echo '<div class="clear"></div><div class="wpo-wcpdf-action-buttons"><h4>PDF Documents</h4>';
		}, 10, 1 );
		add_action( 'wcpv_vendor_order_detail_order_data_column', array( new \WPO\WC\PDF_Invoices\Admin(), 'add_listing_actions' ), 10, 1 );
		add_action( 'wcpv_vendor_order_detail_order_data_column', function() {
			echo '</div>';
		}, 10, 1 );
		?>
		<style>
			.order_data_column_container > .order_data_column:nth-child(3) {
				padding-right: 0 !important;
			}
			.wpo-wcpdf-action-buttons > h4 {
				margin-bottom: 10px !important;
			}
			.wpo-wcpdf-action-buttons > a {
				margin-right: 5px !important;
			}
			.wpo-wcpdf-action-buttons > a > img {
				padding-top: 5px;
			}
		</style>
		<?php
	}
}, 11 );

@alexmigf Fantastic! That did the trick. There has been a small knock-on effect, however, I can no longer change any permissions on the User Role Editor for anyone.

@alexmigf

So turns out that code breaks the vendor registration. It kinda breaks the form so when someone submits the form it just hangs and doesn’t submit any of the data.

Is there another solution you could suggest?
