Only running a script for a particular role

Hey,

This is a bit hard to say without seeing the rest of the code. You should use something like

// Check current user role
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$roles = ( array ) $user->roles;
		
if ( in_array( 'user1', $roles ) ) {
    //bla bla...
}

You may need to do a print_r or var_dump from $current_user to see what information it contains before you proceed.

Regards

Thank you so much for your assistance.

Below is the full code:

// Check current user role
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$roles = ( array ) $user->roles;

if ( in_array( ‘customer’, $roles ) ) {

// Set a minimum number of products requirement before checking out
add_action( ‘woocommerce_check_cart_items’, ‘spyr_set_min_num_products’ );
function spyr_set_min_num_products() {

// Only run in the Cart or Checkout pages
if( is_cart() || is_checkout() ) {
global $woocommerce;

// Set the minimum number of products before checking out
$minimum_num_products = 24;
// Get the Cart’s total number of products
$cart_num_products = WC()->cart->cart_contents_count;

// Compare values and add an error is Cart’s total number of products
// happens to be less than the minimum required before checking out.
// Will display a message along the lines of
// A Minimum of 20 products is required before checking out. (Cont. below)
// Current number of items in the cart: 6
if( $cart_num_products < $minimum_num_products ) {
wc_add_notice( sprintf( ‘We sell bottles in packs of %s.‘
. ‘<br />Current number of items in the cart: %s.’,
$minimum_num_products,
$cart_num_products ),
‘error’ );
}
}
}
}

Unfortunately this does not run at all now regardless of the user role.

I am a bit of a notice.
I have set default site visitor and accounts as ‘Customer’ role type.
I also manually set up 2 wholesale account types.

I only want the above script to run on the default ‘customers’; i don’t want it to run for my wholesale accounts.

Am I going about this the right way?

Many thanks for your help

// Set a minimum number of products requirement before checking out
add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'spyr_set_min_num_products' );
function spyr_set_min_num_products() {
    // Check current user role
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $roles = ( array ) $user->roles;

    // Only run in the Cart or Checkout pages & userrole matches
    if( is_cart() || is_checkout() && in_array( ‘customer’, $roles ) ) {
        global $woocommerce;
        
        // Set the minimum number of products before checking out
        $minimum_num_products = 24;
        
        // Get the Cart’s total number of products
        $cart_num_products = WC()->cart->cart_contents_count;
        
        // Compare values and add an error is Cart’s total number of products
        // happens to be less than the minimum required before checking out.
        // Will display a message along the lines of
        // A Minimum of 20 products is required before checking out. (Cont. below)
        // Current number of items in the cart: 6
        if( $cart_num_products < $minimum_num_products ) {
            wc_add_notice( sprintf( 'We sell bottles in packs of %s.'
            . 'Current number of items in the cart: %s.',
            $minimum_num_products,
            $cart_num_products ),
            'error' );
        }
    }
}

Give it a try this way, the code where you are controlling the user is outside of the function.

I feel so bad for taking up your time and thank you for your assistance.
Unfortunately it still works for all roles.
Am I right in thinking that ‘customer’ is a standard WordPress role and I am not doing anything silly?

Run script for ‘customer’
or
Not run script for ‘wholesale_buyer’ and ‘wholesale_tax_free’

Maybe it needs an exception rather than an inclusion?

Sorry for the problems and thank you

Can you give this a try? On the cart page you should see an array with the users role(s). Also the else statement if not satisfied = ‘NOT’.

If this works, you can delete the ‘echo…’ and ‘else…’ code

// Set a minimum number of products requirement before checking out
add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'spyr_set_min_num_products' );
function spyr_set_min_num_products() {
    // Only run in the Cart or Checkout pages & userrole matches
    if( is_cart() || is_checkout() ) {
		
		// Check current user role
		$user = wp_get_current_user();
		$roles = ( array ) $user->roles;
	
		echo '<pre>', print_r($roles, 1), '</pre>';
		
		if ( in_array( 'customer', $roles ) ) {
			global $woocommerce;
			
			// Set the minimum number of products before checking out
			$minimum_num_products = 24;
			
			// Get the Cart’s total number of products
			$cart_num_products = WC()->cart->cart_contents_count;
			
			// Compare values and add an error is Cart’s total number of products
			// happens to be less than the minimum required before checking out.
			// Will display a message along the lines of
			// A Minimum of 20 products is required before checking out. (Cont. below)
			// Current number of items in the cart: 6
			if( $cart_num_products < $minimum_num_products ) {
				wc_add_notice( sprintf( 'We sell bottles in packs of %s.'
				. 'Current number of items in the cart: %s.',
				$minimum_num_products,
				$cart_num_products ),
				'error' );
			}
		} else {
			echo 'NOT';
		}
    }
}

Thank you so much, this has worked and I can see what is now the problem.
A non logged in visitor is not a ‘customer’ but they can still order.
But i cannot find anywhere what role is assigned to a site visitor.
Is there default that you know of?
Thank you

Hi,

There is no user role for guests but $roles will be empty if nothing is found, so we can assign a ‘guest’ role ourselves

add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'spyr_set_min_num_products' );
function spyr_set_min_num_products() {
    // Only run in the Cart or Checkout pages & userrole matches
    if( is_cart() || is_checkout() ) {
		
        // Check current user role
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
		
        // Get userrole
        $roles = $user->roles;
		
        // No user role found, user role = guest
        if ( empty($roles) ) {
            $roles[] = 'guest';
        }
	
        echo '<pre>', print_r($roles, 1), '</pre>';
		
        if ( in_array( 'customer', $roles ) ) {
            echo 'customer';
        } elseif ( in_array( 'guest', $roles ) ) {
            echo 'guest';
        } else {
            echo 'something else';
        }
    }
}

This worked!
Thank you so much for your time and experience.
Cheers
