replace product name with custom field

Hi Alessio,
Unfortunately this is a bit advanced even for the premium version.
You can do this with a filter though: wpo_wcpdf_order_item_data

Here’s an example, you will need the to change the $meta_key to match your custom field (assuming this is stored in the product).

add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_order_item_data', 'wpo_wcpdf_english_product_name', 10, 2 );
function wpo_wcpdf_english_product_name ( $item_data, $order) {
	$meta_key = 'english_name'; // replace this with the name of the custom field
	$english_name = get_post_meta( $item['product_id'], $meta_key, true );
	if ( !empty($english_name) ) {
		$item_data['name'] = $english_name;
	}
	return $item_data;
}

Hope that helps!

Hi,

thank you for your reply, this is premium support! I don’t mind to use a filter, it’d be perfectly fine. I’m buying the plugin right away.

Thanks!
Alessio

You’re welcome, glad I could help ??

Hi,

sorry to bother again,
I tried the above code after entering the custom keys (I put the code in functions.php), but for some reason the name haven’t changed in the invoice..

Thank you for your help

Hi,

nevermind I found the issue, I guess the code should be $item[‘name’] instead of $item_data[‘name’], but I figured out how to do this all by editing my custom template.

Thanks!

Hi! I’m not sure why it didn’t work, reviewing the code it looks to me like this should work. There is no $item variable in that action, so $item_data should work.

I recommend using the filter rather than editing the template, as this is much more update proof. If this works for you, that’s fine too of course ??

Have a fantastic day!
