Display custom field data in Cart and Checkout

Quick update in case anyone has a hint. In the cart.php I’ve found the line which deals with the Backorder Notification. Here is the text as it appears:

if ( $_product->backorders_require_notification() && $_product->is_on_backorder( $cart_item['quantity'] ) )
echo '<p class="backorder_notification">' . __( 'Available on backorder', 'woocommerce' ) . '</p>';

I’ve supplanted the last line for the following:

echo 'Delivery after ', get_post_meta($post_id=get_queried_object_id(), $key=expected_stock_date, $single=true) ;

Which doesn’t work. The intent is something along the lines of “Delivery after 13/06/2014”. The “Delivery After ” text displays but the array comes back as blank. I’ve tried a few variations but I can’t get the cart to pull the custom data from each product. I can use methods like $_product->get_title(), so I know there’s a way to do this. Also if I replace the post id property with just a vanilla post ID, the code works as expected. So I’m just after a method to grab the contents of that custom field. I’m so close but I’m still so far.

echo 'Delivery after ', get_post_meta($_product->id, $key=expected_stock_date, $single=true) ;

Works! Leaving this here in case somebody else needs it in future.

Hi Matt

I want to change the ‘available to back order’ text that displays for products on back order on the product pages to display my ‘Lead Time’ custom Field.

I’ve done this:

function backorder_text($available) {

foreach($available as $i) {

$available = str_replace('Available on backorder', '<div class="prod-code pc-leadtime">Lead Time: ', $available);

}

return $available;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_get_availability', 'backorder_text');

But unfortunatley it only displays the custom fields title and not the content, which in this case is “Made for you in just eight weeks”

Above you say you’ve added a custom field in your first post, could I please ask how?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts ??
