Feature Request - More options for displaying products #12

Closed gilesytheking closed 7 years ago

gilesytheking commented 8 years ago

I have been looking for a plugin like this for ages, so that I can display products from my store to other sites that I run. I have managed to get it working on my site and it works great. I have found however that the [external_product] shortcode only works when i specify a product id, which is great for promoting a specific product or products. I have a lot of products and want to have more options for displaying different types of products from my woo store.

Is there a way to add the following features to give more options for displaying products?

Currently, the only option other than individual ID's is the [recent_external_products] shortcode where you can display recent products.

It's tricky if you get to broad on what products you want. For example, to get random products - I'd need to first pull all products from the original site and then pick a few random IDs. This would be terribly resource heavy and slow. The same applies to looking at all products and only pulling on-sale ones, etc.

There are a lot more options with the latest version of the rest api though: http://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#list-all-products. Looks like I can pull products based on category now.

I'll look into adding some more options.

The next update will have lots of cool stuff. It has one powerful shortcode that can combine all those things.

And all of them can be combined. So for example, this shortcode: [wcepe_products category='19,28' featured=true] it will display featured products that are in those two categories.

I'll update the readme by release with more details.
