Product Taxonomy Filters & Pretty Query Strings?

Hi,

You use our YITH WooCommerce Product Brands ?

The premium version of Product Filter Plugin is alredy compatible with YITH WooCommerce Product Brands.
I’m sorry but this is a premium feature to do this.

You can see the premium features here: YITH WOOCOMMERCE AJAX PRODUCT FILTER

Hi,

Yes, I did look at the Yith Brands plugin, but that does not fulfill our requirement. Specifically, I want the brand (artist) title, description, and thumbnail in the sidebar on the product page: https://motibili.in/paintings/mona-lisa/

And I also want the same in a sidebar on the brand’s archive page (ie the page that has all products belonging to that brand): https://motibili.in/artists/maestros/leonardo-da-vinci/

Is this possible to do with the Yith plugins?

And what about my other question about the pretty query strings (ie attribute names instead of ID)?

Thanks.

Hi,

to do this you need the Premium Version of YITH WooCommerce Brands plugin. You can find more details here: YITH WOOCOMMERCE BRANDS ADD-ON PREMIUM

And what about my other question about the pretty query strings (ie attribute names instead of ID)?

No, I’m sorry but isn’t possibile beacuse WooCommerce use the id for filter the loop products.

No, I’m sorry but isn’t possibile beacuse WooCommerce use the id for filter the loop products.

This should actually be pretty easy to implement since wordpress already supports modifying the loop with query params for any taxonomy. For example on my site I can display only products that are in either product_category of “accessories” or “sets” by appending ?product_category=accessories+sets to the shop page.

This works for all taxonomies including product attributes and any third party custom taxonomies, and removes the need to use filter ids.

Hi, thanks for your report.

I’ll send a ticket to our developers team to know if they can add this features.

gbroochian, thanks for moving this forward. Just to add,

https://motibili.in/art-gallery/kind/canvas-prints

^ this would be much better for readability and SEO i think, as compared to:

https://motibili.in/art-gallery/?filter_kind=canvas-prints

ie, a proper URL vs one with query strings. But I don’t know if the former is possible to do?

Hi,

this link (https://motibili.in/art-gallery/?filter_kind=canvas-prints) is the format that WooCommerce require to change the product query and return the correct product list.

I don’t know if it’s possible to change this, but I’ll send a ticket to our developers teams.
Thanks for your report.

That’s not the only way to filter the product list.
Right now the yit ajax navigation is internally calling the standard woocommerce layered nav widget to do the filtering which does in fact require the term id and that filter_kind=id first.

There is a second way to filter the product list, using the standard wordpress method of filtering a post/archive archive using any taxonomy with query params. This allows https://motibili.in/art-gallery/?pa_kind=canvas-prints assuming that the attribute is canvas-prints since woocommerce adds pa_ to the taxonomy name.

Here’s the structure https://www.example.com/shop_page/?taxonomy_x=term_x&taxonomy_y=term_y

This would require changing the plugins front end javascript for it to append that style of query param, but on the backend would require no extra php, since it would be cutting out the woocommerce filtering and using the built in wordpress filtering.

Hi gbroochian,

thank for your report. I’ll send a ticket to our developers team.
