Product variation description

I saw the explanation of how to do this. I created the template for the pdf, but since I’m not a coder, I’m not sure where I need to add the code or if I’m doing it correctly.
Basically, what I need is to have it say:
QUANTITY | PRODUCT | VARIATION DESCRIPTION

Can you help me with the code?

This is what I have:

<?php global $wpo_wcpdf; ?>
<?php do_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_before_document', $wpo_wcpdf->export->template_type, $wpo_wcpdf->export->order ); ?>

<table class="head container">
	<tr>
		<td class="header">
		<?php
		if( $wpo_wcpdf->get_header_logo_id() ) {
			$wpo_wcpdf->header_logo();
		} else {
			echo apply_filters( 'wpo_wcpdf_packing_slip_title', __( 'Packing Slip', 'wpo_wcpdf' ) );
		}
		?>
		</td>
		<td class="shop-info">
			<div class="shop-name"><h3><?php $wpo_wcpdf->shop_name(); ?></h3></div>
			<div class="shop-address"><?php $wpo_wcpdf->shop_address(); ?></div>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<h1 class="document-type-label">
<?php if( $wpo_wcpdf->get_header_logo_id() ) echo apply_filters( 'wpo_wcpdf_packing_slip_title', __( 'Packing Slip', 'wpo_wcpdf' ) ); ?>
</h1>

<?php do_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_document_label', $wpo_wcpdf->export->template_type, $wpo_wcpdf->export->order ); ?>

<table class="order-data-addresses">
	<tr>
		<td class="address shipping-address">
			<!-- <h3><?php _e( 'Shipping Address:', 'wpo_wcpdf' ); ?></h3> -->
			<?php $wpo_wcpdf->shipping_address(); ?>
			<?php if ( isset($wpo_wcpdf->settings->template_settings['packing_slip_email']) ) { ?>
			<div class="billing-email"><?php $wpo_wcpdf->billing_email(); ?></div>
			<?php } ?>
			<?php if ( isset($wpo_wcpdf->settings->template_settings['packing_slip_phone']) ) { ?>
			<div class="billing-phone"><?php $wpo_wcpdf->billing_phone(); ?></div>
			<?php } ?>
		</td>
		<td class="address billing-address">
			<?php if ( isset($wpo_wcpdf->settings->template_settings['packing_slip_billing_address']) && $wpo_wcpdf->ships_to_different_address()) { ?>
			<h3><?php _e( 'Billing Address:', 'wpo_wcpdf' ); ?></h3>
			<?php $wpo_wcpdf->billing_address(); ?>
			<?php } ?>

</div><!-- #letter-footer -->
<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_document', $wpo_wcpdf->export->template_type, $wpo_wcpdf->export->order ); ?>

and don’t know where I need to add this:

<?php if (!empty($item[‘product’]->get_variation_description(); ?>
if (isset( $item[‘variation_id’] ) && $item[‘variation_id’] != 0) {
if (!empty($item[‘product’])) echo $item[‘product’]->get_variation_description();
}

Help me please!! Thank you ??

Hello Fabi,
Customization to this degree is unfortunately not covered under the free support. If you don’t know coding I think your best bet is to use the Premium templates extension. This lets you add the description in a new column directly from the settings.

Alternatively, if you didn’t find this already, the method for the free version is also covered in the documentation: Displaying the product description

Hope that helps!

Hi Ewout
I have the paid premium templates extension and when I put Product description Use variation description when available, it doesn’t show up.
DO you know why that may be?
Thank you
Fabi
