PR #26260 introduced a handler for 'found_posts' filter in WC_Query
class in order to adjust the count depending on the visibility
of variation products. However the handler incorrectly assumed
that the filter was triggered only when listing products, when
actually it's also triggered for any post type e.g. pages.
In these cases the post count was set to zero, which caused bugs.
Now the handler starts with the originally supplied posts count,
and only decrements it when a post is a product AND is not visible.
- Fix a call to get_available_variations with incorrect optional arguments.
- Add code that has been removed in WC_Product_Variable::get_available_variations.
Now, if there are filters present the logic is as follows:
- For multiple filtering values of the same attribute:
the product is visible if there's at least one variation
that has one of the filtering values associated to the attribute,
or if there's at least one variation having the attribute
with a value of "Any".
- For filtering by more than one attribute:
the product is visible if there's at least one variation that
is visible for ALL the attributes according to the above rule.
Note that this is irrespective of the type of logic configured for
the filter (OR or AND).
Two adjustments were needed:
- Adjust the count even when there's no nav filtering in the query.
This is necessary to present the proper products count.
even when the woocommerce_product_is_visible filter is used.
- Account for the case where $GLOBALS['wp_query']->posts
returns objects instead of ids (for example when viewing
a product page).
After the change that registers variation attributes as terms
(in addition to reigstering them as post meta) it is now time
to modify the get_filtered_term_product_counts methods in
WC_Widget_Layered_Nav so that it works consistently for both
variable and non-variable products. The logic for the counters
is now as follows:
with OR operator:
- Simple products: count the attributes of all visible products
(unchanged behavior).
- Variable products: count attributes corresponding to
visible variations.
with AND operator:
- Simple products: count the attributes of visible products but only
for products that have all the selected (unchanged behavior).
- Variable products: find all the products for which all the variations
corresponding to the selected attributes exist and are visible,
then count the attributes corresponding to the visible variations
of those products.
A product is "visible" if it's published, not excluded for catalog,
and has stock. Additionally, a variable product will not be considered
visible if the parent product is not.
Product attributes are currently recorded as terms in
wp_term_relationships (product attributes are actually taxonomies).
In the case of variable products this is true for the main product,
but not for the variations. The attributes used to define variations
are stored as post meta, but nothing is recorded in the term
relationships table.
This is a problem when using the layered nav filtering plugin,
since the attribute counters displayed are calculated based solely
on the contents of the term relationships table. Adding meta queries
would be really messy (especially when the widget is configured
with AND operator) and would probably also hurt performance.
This commit adds a change to store the attributes for variations
as term relationships, additionally to storing them as post meta.
Terms are stored on variation creation, and updated/deleted together
with the variation as appropriate. "Any" variations (stored in meta
as empty values) are not stored as terms.
Additionally, a database upgrade is included in order to backfill
terms for already existing products.
