Multi-vendor plugin support part 2

    Hi Eva,

    I decided to open this as you marked the previous as resolved and high chances you missed my reply ?? (I consider that as resolved in a way).

    Thank you for confirming. Basically, the compatibility means a filter allowing admin to select products from users with wordpress role ‘vendor’. Hence, this would allow:

    1. Admin to define a custom rule to select only products matching user role=vendor and id=xx.

    2. From a dev point of view, an exclude or include filter based on user role and associated products? Naturally, this is over the top of my head and a much better and deeper filter can be easily made.

    Considering that the above is not too complicated, can you please let me know if you plan to integrate this in your product? I would really love to use your plugin for the production.

    If my understanding is correct, if I use your plugin with many vendors, I will not have control to exclude or include a specific vendor (Helps protect site quality by for example excluding new vendors). However, your plugin will still work normally by including all products in the feed? Am I correct in my assumption?

    Thanks a lot for clarifying.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Pri,

    To start with your last question: theoretically, yes it should add all products to the feed.

    Unfortunately there is not a whole lot of users asking for multi-vendor support (you are the first one) and our list of to-do’s is huge so for the upcoming future I see no time and priority to add support for it.

    All the best,
    Eva

    Hi Eva,

    Thanks a lot for your honest and straight answer ??

    I will try out the plugin for our ‘theoretical’ solution for now.

    Can you kindly advise, would it be a lot of coding if I try and get this done via custom coding? I am ok if this is around 2-3 hours of dev time you see ?? (Using your pro version for reference to code)

    Best Regards,

    Pri

    Hi Pri,

    Honestly, that is a hard question to answer as it really depends on the other plugins.

    Typically it takes us a couple of hours at least to even understand the inner workings of other plugins before we can start coding. The coding itself than takes up the least of the time and testing if everything still functiones another few hours.

    So, I would say 4-6 hours for someone who knows our plugin source.

    All the best,
    Eva

    Hi Eva

    Could filters be used for this? ie. omit all products from the feed via a tag or custom field?

    I’ve been looking into multi-vendor plugins too..

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Sure, custom attributes can be used for filtering when all products have a value for that attribute. The plugin should be able to recognise any custom attribute that has been created.

    Best,
    Eva
