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).
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.
The layered nav filtering doesn't work well with variable products
when some variations have stock and other don't. When a term is
selected in the widget, a variable product having no stock for
the variation corresponding to that term but having stock for
other variations will be displayed, but it shouldn't.
This commit fixes that by introducing two changes:
- A new override of "is_visible" for WC_Product_Variable that
looks at the supplied filters, compares them against the corresponding
available variations and calculates the visibility based on
the query type (OR or AND).
- A hook on the "found_posts" filter in WC_Query, that adjusts
the posts count based on the found products visibility
when there are filters available; this is needed to sync the
"displaying X posts" messages and the paging when variable
products are hidden due to stock status.
Additionally, the visibility calculated in "found_posts" is cached
as loop variables so that it isn't calculated again when actually
displaying the products.
When a product is saved its validate_props method is invoked,
and this recalculates the stock_status property based on whether
the product manages stock or not, the stock quantity, and the
value of the woocommerce_notify_no_stock_amount option.
In the case of variable products, and when stock is managed, the stock
was set to "instock" when the current stock was enough, but only
if the "stock_quantity" property was in the list of changed properties
for the object (the method in the base product class doen't check
for changed properties). This is a problem because the
wc_update_product_stock function updates stock_quantity but via direct
database modification, and thus stock_quantity isn't considered
modified. Therefore stock modifications via wc_update_product_stock
don't update stock_status on the product (e.g. when going from 0 to 1
after a refund the stock status will remain as "outofstock").
The fix consists of removing the check for changed properties since
it's not done anyway in the other cases (when stock is below the
woocommerce_notify_no_stock_amount threshold) nor in the base class.
Also, validate_props is refactored for readabiliyy, and an useless
set_stock_status() call placed right before save()
in wc_update_product_stock is removed.
Right now, when a product having a parent (e.g. a variation having a
parent variable product) is saved, wc_deferred_product_sync is
executed so that product sync is performed at the end of the request.
This commit implements the same when the product is deleted.
