Allowing users to add "external / affiliate products" only

You can filter available product types: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/cb0f70308643f9d6bcdc11928ae6eb90d3020028/includes/wc-product-functions.php#L519

Hi Mike,

thanks, but that doesn’t seem to work.
I am not very familiar with code editing, to be exact I know nothing of it.
Based on what you wrote I thought it would be enough when I removed the lines 520, 521 and 523 in the file and upload it again.

When I reload the page (after purging all caches) I still see all options in the Product Data Tab. However, I only want to see “External/Affiliate Product” and nothing else. At least the external product should be listed first.

Please take a look at this
screnshot, in which I marked what should be seen on the “Add Product” Page for the user.

Thanks in advance

You should be using the filter, not editing code. See https://pippinsplugins.com/a-quick-introduction-to-using-filters/ for an introduction to using filters.

wonderful, but he only shows how to add and not how to remived,
So essentially not what I am looking for, but thanks anyway … I’ll have to pay some one to get what I want.

It’s just an array so you can unset() them – https://php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php

No it’s OK – i know nothing of programming or any of this PHP-Thingy … so I’m helpless here. I hthink there won’t be a woocommerce plugin or similar at al..

Giving up already? ??

add_filter( 'product_type_selector', 'custom_product_type_selector' );

function custom_product_type_selector( $types ) {

unset( $types['simple'] );
unset( $types['grouped'] );
unset( $types['variable'] );

return $types;
}

Remember you can also get help on jobs.wordpress.net

Hi Mike,

thanks so much.

Well, not really but since I have no knowledge of programming or PHP I couldn’t get my head around the descriptions in the suggested introductions. But I’ll start learning PHP soon ??

Thanks again.
