Make it work for WooCommerce products list please :)

Hi @artankrasniqi1988,

Thanks for getting in touch. I am not sure that we can make it work with the WooCommerce product list as it should not be displayed there.

We have to investigate what happens if we apply a width to the column. In pages and posts it’s auto-adjusted and we really have no idea what happens to the responsiveness if we apply a fixed width as in your proposal.

And we also have to see if we can enable sorting.

I can’t promise any deadlines for this as we are fully planned until end of the year.

We keep you updated.

Best regards from Spain.

Hi,

yes no worries and hustle. To solve the width problem it′s quite easy. I just used the CSS:

.widefat tfoot tr td, .widefat tfoot tr th, .widefat thead tr td, .widefat thead tr th {
width: 10%;
}

No worries about that columns get weird breakpoints or the layout is destroyed as the value of all the columns get distributed kind of “equally” through the whole row. But u will see that it works when u try it yourself. At the moment I tried only in browser dev tools. So perhaps a more specific css class is needed.

About the possibility to sort it also in product list: Doesn′t bother me right now, it′s still great that plugin works on product list. In future it would be just cool when you could sort the list also with that column.

A reason why it is shown on product list could be this info I found:

In WooCommerce, products are typically stored as custom post types in WordPress. This means that they are essentially a type of post, but with specific features and settings tailored for e-commerce. WooCommerce uses the WordPress post system to manage products, which means you can access product information using WordPress functions and APIs commonly used for posts.

Please just don′t remove the functionality for product lists. ??

Thanks for you reply!

first off please don’t remove support for woocommerce.
i also need this for woocommerce.

the first thing i noticed was that it does not follow the format for dates and time set in wordpress.

Hi @crssh,

The date and time format is retrieved using the get_the_modified_date() WordPress function which should show it according to the settings of the site. We don’t define another format and show the information just as returned by this function.

Regarding WooCommerce: Right now we don’t know why it’s not working. We will have to investigate but our team and time is limited.

Best regards from Spain.

Thanks for the plugin. I fixed the layout issue in the WooCommerce list by removing the Date Created, which I did not need.

I do find that the plugin does Network Activate and shows the Modified Date on WP Multisite, just without the ordering control.

I have a client requirement to allow selecting products by data modified, implying sorting.

I think Woocommerce support could be a “pro” feature to support your work.

Hi @kenlyle,

Thanks for the suggestion for a “pro” feature for the plugin. Our plugins are made according to our clientes requirements and if we think that they can be interesting for the WordPress community we publish them in the repository. Right now none of our customers needs these features but nevertheless we will look into them once we have some free developer time. We don?t know the solution and we don’t know why it’s not working; if we somebody knows what is the problem we can implement it striaght away.

Best regards from Spain.

We have it working. I am encouraging our dev to contribute the code.

Hi @kenlyle,

yes, would be nice if you share your code so that it can be implemented for everyone. Would be great!

Let us know if it is happening. Otherwise I′m thinking myself to develop it but at the moment I′m quite busy.

Regards!

Hi @kenlyle,

what did your developer say? Is he willing to share the code for the fix on the WooCommerce pages? That would be great!

Regards

Sorry, it’s been too long, and I don’t remember who did this.

I checked my dev site and I don’t have any Code Snippets with date or modified which seem relevant to this.

Hi @kenlyle,

ok. Still thanks for your reply!
