downloadable products

Hello @yliya14 !

Hope you’re doing well today!

I’ve checked how to do that in the case of a downloadable product and I see that there are some fields which can be added easily using the method I’ve explained in the other ticket (like setting the _downloadable field to yes etc.), but there’s one field _downloadable_files which contains more data than just the link to the file (it’s a serialised array) so it can’t be easily added from the form settings.

However, it should be possible to do that using a snippet which will convert the data from the Upload field to the required data in WooCommerce. I’ve already requested our Second Line Support team to take a look and see if they can prepare such snippet for you. Once we hear back from them we’ll share the details here.

Kind regards,
Pawel

Thanks. I will be waiting for an answer! Even if it doesn’t work, please write here that it’s not possible.

Hello there @yliya14

Our devs provided a simple customization via the following code that can be used as a MU-plugin (https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins):

<?php
add_action( 'forminator_post_data_field_post_saved',  'wpmudev_auto_add_downloadable_file', 10, 4);
function wpmudev_auto_add_downloadable_file( $post_id, $field, $data, $cls ){
	$product = wc_get_product( $post_id );
	// Get downloads (if there is any)
    $downloads = (array) $product->get_downloads(); 
    // Only added once (avoiding repetitions
    if( sizeof($downloads) == 0 ){
        // Get post upload data
        $thumb_url = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'upload-1', true );
		if($thumb_url){
			// Prepare download data
			$file_title = basename($thumb_url);
			$file_md5   = md5($thumb_url);

			$download  = new WC_Product_Download(); // Get an instance of the WC_Product_Download Object
			
			// Set the download data
			$download->set_name($file_title);
			$download->set_id($file_md5);
			$download->set_file($thumb_url);

			$downloads[$file_md5] = $download; // Insert the new download to the array of downloads
			$product->set_downloads($downloads); // Set new array of downloads
			$product->set_downloadable('yes'); // To set the product type as downloadable
			$product->save();
		}
    }
}

To make the code work you will need to create an upload field and map it in the postdata custom fields like the following images:

With the code we are setting the product as downloadable here $product->set_downloadable('yes'); and the rest of the code is to set the download for the product.

Thank you,

Thank you very much! Everything worked out! You are the best!
