限制购物车项目来自 WooCommerce 中的同一产品类别

Question

I am using the code below to remove other WooCommerce product category items from the cart when there is an item with a special product category 'cat_x' added in cart and display some different custom notices. The code came from this thread and just works well:

add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'checking_cart_items' );
function checking_cart_items() {
    $special = false;
    $catx = 'cat_x';
    $number_of_items = sizeof( WC()->cart->get_cart() );

    if ( $number_of_items > 0 ) {

        // Loop through all cart products
        foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $values ) {
            $item = $values['data'];
            $item_id = $item->id;

            // detecting if 'cat_x' item is in cart
            if ( has_term( $catx, 'product_cat', $item_id ) ) {
                if (!$special)
                    $special = true;
            }
        }

        // Re-loop through all cart products
        foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $values ) {
            $item = $values['data'];
            $item_id = $item->id;

            if ( $special ) // there is a 'cat_x' item in cart
            { 
                if ( $number_of_items == 1 ) { // only one 'cat_x' item in cart
                    if ( empty( $notice ) )
                        $notice = '1';
                }
                if ( $number_of_items >= 2 ) { // 'cat_x' item + other categories items in cart
            // removing other categories items from cart
                    if ( !has_term( $catx, 'product_cat', $item_id ) ) {
                        WC()->cart->remove_cart_item( $cart_item_key ); // removing item from cart
                        if ( empty( $notice ) || $notice == '1' )
                            $notice = '2';
                    }
                }
            } else { // Only other categories items
                if ( empty( $notice ) )
                    $notice = '3';
            }
        }

        // Firing notices
        if ( $notice == '1' ) { // message for an 'cat_x' item only (alone)
            wc_add_notice( sprintf( '<p class="woocommerce-error">bla bla bla one category X item in the cart</p>' ), 'success' );
        } elseif ( $notice == '2' ) { // message for an 'cat_x' item and other ones => removed other ones 
            wc_add_notice( sprintf( '<p class="woocommerce-error">bla bla bla ther is already category X in the cart => Other category items has been removed</p>' ), 'error' );
        } elseif ( $notice == '3' ) { // message for other categories items (if needed)
            wc_add_notice( sprintf( '<p class="woocommerce-error">bla bla bla NOT category X in the cart</p>' ), 'success' );
        }
    }
} 

Has the conditional function has_term() works also with arrays of categories, I have tried instead of one category, to set an array of categories in that code. But it's not working .

However, my needs have changed: I don't want to let the customer have the possibility to select cart items from different categories. So the cart must always have items from the same product category.

Any help please?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Making a custom function hooked in woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation filter hook is going to do the job in a much more simpler way, without any need to set an array of categories.

So your code will be much more faster and compact. Additionally you can display a custom notice to warn the customer.

This code will avoid adding to cart, if an item of a different category is in cart:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', 'add_to_cart_validation_callback', 10, 3 );
function add_to_cart_validation_callback( $passed, $product_id, $quantity) {
    // HERE set your alert text message
    $message = __( 'MY ALERT MESSAGE.', 'woocommerce' );

    if( ! WC()->cart->is_empty() ) {
        // Get the product category terms for the current product
        $terms_slugs = wp_get_post_terms( $product_id, 'product_cat' array('fields' => 'slugs'));

        // Loop through cart items
        foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item ){
            if( ! has_term( $terms_slugs, 'product_cat', $cart_item['product_id'] )) {
                $passed = false;
                wc_add_notice( $message, 'error' );
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return $passed;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.

This code is tested and it works

Restricting cart items to be only from different product categories:

Replace in the function the condition:

if( ! has_term( $product_cats, 'product_cat', $cart_item['product_id'] )) { 

by

if( has_term( $product_cats, 'product_cat', $cart_item['product_id'] )) {

Answer 2

So, my PHP is a bit rusty from lack of use. I need to add restrictions for example, that if there is a product already in the cart from a specific category, no other categories can be added. On the flip side, if products not in the restricted category are already in the cart, products from the restricted category cannot be added to the cart unless the the unrestrict category products already in cart are removed. Will this code achieve this in some way?

Thanks in advance, Dave

Answer 3

I just tried and i got a syntax error the array that i fixed this way:

$terms_slugs = wp_get_post_terms($product_id, 'product_cat', array('fields' => 'slugs'));

just a comma after product_cat distraction, but maybe somebody would need it.
