New shortcode request for Woocommerce 2

– Number of products by category name: whatever

[sbs_posts cat="whatever"]

– Number of products by sub-category name: something

[sbs_posts cat="something"]

– Number of products by tag: pancakes

[sbs_posts tag="pancakes"]

This (and much more) is all explained on the Installation page, just fyi.

Hi

– Number of products by category name: whatever

[sbs_posts cat=”whatever”]

It’s not working …

tried with
whatever = Name of the cat (e.g: my Categorie)
whatever = Slug of the cat (e.g: my-categorie)
whatever = ID of the cat (e.g: 61)

:-/

I just re-tested and it works fine for category slug. In your case, is the category a “regular” post category, or a category for a custom post type? Also check to make sure you are using straight quotes (not curly/fancy quotes) for the shortcode attribute.

a woocommerce category

So it must be a CPT. Try this:

[sbs_tax tax="whatever"]

Should do the trick.

Nope … Not working

Giving me a wrong value :-/

Hmmm.. I’m not a “woo” user so don’t know what this is: “woocommerce category”.. If you can find out if that is a regular category or a custom taxonomy, it would help to figure out which shortcode to use.

This one:

[sbs_cpt_count cpt=”product” txt=”null”]

Give me the correct number of ALL Woo products …
But now I want the same for category and sub category

URL of Woo categories: ….wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=product_cat&post_type=product

URL of a Category or sub-category is:
…../wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=product_cat&tag_ID=61&post_type=product&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit-tags.php%3Ftaxonomy%3Dproduct_cat%26post_type%3Dproduct

Hope this help!

I think it is not possible with the current version of the plugin. The closest I could find is this:

[sbs_tax_posts tax="taxonomy" terms="term-1, term-2, term-3" type="custom-post-type"]

As explained in the Installation docs, that works for specific terms but not sure about all terms at once.

Also looking at your URL, it shows product_cat as the taxonomy slug. You might try using that for the previously suggested shortcodes, for example:

[sbs_posts cat="product_cat"]
[sbs_tax tax="product_cat"]

Tried … without success :-/

Yeah I don’t think it’s possible with the current version of the plugin. Will take a closer look for the next plugin update, see if there is any way to do it.
