How is an attribute value SLUG created?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

Code customization is outside our scope of support, but let me try and point you in the right direction.

If I understood correctly, you’re having issues with WordPress’s wp_set_object_terms function while trying to create attributes. Check this Stack Overflow topics as reference:

• How to get the terms from WooCommerce product attribute taxonomies?
• Add Product Attributes with values to a product in Woocommerce
• Add a new term to a product attribute and set it in the product in Woocommerce

I’m going to leave this topic open for a bit to see if anyone from the community is able to chime in to help you out.

I can also recommend the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal for resources on developing for WooCommerce.

You can also visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, as well.

Hope this helps!

Thank You!

Yes, I am assigning global attributes to the product, here is my code.

$attributes = wc_get_attribute_taxonomies();
	foreach($product_data['atrebuts'] as $key=>$val){
		foreach($attributes as $value){
			if($value->attribute_label == $key){
				if($val[0]){				wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $val[0], 'pa_'.$value->attribute_name);
	             $slug = $value->attribute_name;  
$terms = get_terms( array('taxonomy' => 'pa_' . $slug,'hide_empty' => false,));	
				foreach($terms as $term_id){
					if ($term_id->slug==sanitize_title($val[0])){$term_id_id=$term_id->term_id;$term_tax_id=$term_id->term_id;}
		}	
               	$new_attr = new WC_Product_Attribute();
                $new_attr->set_id( $term_id_id ); 
                $new_attr->set_name('pa_'.$slug);
                $new_attr->set_options([$term_tax_id]);
                $new_attr->set_visible( true );
                $parent_attributes['pa_' . $slug] = $new_attr;
                $product->set_attributes( array_values($parent_attributes) );
		$arts['pa_'.$slug] = array(
			'name' => 'pa_'.$slug,
			'value' =>[$term_tax_id],
			'postion' => '0',
			'is_visible' => '1',
			'is_variation' => '0',
			'is_taxonomy' => '1'
			);
								}
				}
			}
		}		
                $product->save();
               update_post_meta( $post_id, '_product_attributes', $arts);

But there is a nuance here, when determining the term_id, I cannot correctly determine this ID for all parameters.

If you check by name, then there is a problem with a dot and a comma, you get a different name for the same values. You can try to bring it to one type, but the slug has exactly a unique meaning and you don’t need to connect various functions, and here I can’t understand why the slug began to turn out as an ID, and not sanitize_title($name)

Perhaps something in the WordPress settings, because when I enter the value of the attribute in the admin panel, I also get slug = $tag_id and not slug = sanitize_title($name) ??

Hello,

Kindly note that in our forum the support for custom code is really limited. We recommend taking a look at the resources previously shared by Paulo to look for further assistance.

Of course, this forum topic will still be open for a while just in case anyone else wants to chime in to help out.

Cheers.

Oh, and how long did it take me. It turned out that the slug was created incorrectly due to the empty name field in the database (
