I realise that you have indicated no new features will be brought in any more as Pro4 nears its release, but custom metadata sorting for the Looper Provider would be extremely useful in a number of use cases, from sorting by price, custom date fields, advanced custom fields, popularity (if that is handled by a separate plugin) so I thought I would put in a request here!
Understand if it’s not possible, but I think many people would find good use in this.
Thanks for the feedback here. I understand that could be super handy. I’ve got an overflow list going and will note this as a potential use case. There’s so much more we’d love to do, but we’ll just have to wait until another update at this point.
That’s fair enough! More than enough great features coming in the next one to keep us all busy for a while I’m sure.
Cheers
Sounds good!
I’d like to add that WooCommerce Attributes are playing super important role in many web shops. It would be fantastic to be able to sort products based on them.
Sorting and filtering are essential tools to make a shop meet user expectations.
There’s a “Shop Sort” element you can use which outputs the WooCommerce select control.
There’s probably another fairly big wave of WooCommerce improvements we could do. Our biggest goal with this round was providing ways to work with native plugin functionality and keeping hooks/filters intact so it’s still possible to extend via plugins and custom code. While there’s certainly more to be desired, we have the bases covered for now. You might still need to use plugins to bring additional functionality.
Many of our WooCommerce specific elements are setup to simply output WooCommerce templates directly. There’s unfortunately not much in terms of styling options because on those elements because we don’t have controls for form styling built out yet and want to consider that from a site wide perspective first. Once we do the Theme Options reboot we’ll be able to come back and give more options on the WooCommerce elements.
Great! This is something we can work very nicely already!
Just to clarify my reply above: I was thinking about WooCommerce Attributes sorting in Loopers.
Thanks!
I gotcha! I’m thinking when we come back to that we might have a Looper Provider type called “Shop” (or “WooCommerce”) and there’s a sub field that lets you pick from some of the higher level query types they offer like “Related Products” or “Upsells”. Then we could add attribute ordering to the shop specific one.
