single-product.php override is ignored

    Using Woocommerce 2.4.10 in a local development. I’ve found instructions on overriding single product template: in my theme’s woocommerce folder for overrides, if I edit ‘content-single-product.php’ the changes take effect, so I know overrides are in the right place.

    What I want eventually is a separate template for glass products, so I’ve saved a template called ‘content-single-product-crystal.php’ (a slightly tweaked ‘content-single-product.php’). Then in ‘single-product.php’, just to check it’s working at first I’ve changed

    <?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' ); ?>

    into

    <?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-crystal' ); ?>

    but my crystal template is ignored.

    I’ve tried doing the same changes to the original woocommerce ‘single-product.php’ but that doesn’t work either (restored that file to its original state now). I’ve even tried deleting other chunks of ‘theme>woocommerce>single-product.php’ to see if the file’s being used, but that does nothing either.

    In ‘admin > woocommerce > system status’ at the bottom where it lists template overrides it lists ‘single-product.php’ and ‘content-single-product.php’, but should it also list my ‘content-single-product-crystal.php’ ? (it doesn’t).

    Must be going mad but can’t see what I’m doing wrong… Sorry I can’t post a link, as it’s not live yet.

    I’ve dug around further, and single-product.php – both my override and the core woo commerce version are ignored – I’ve even deleted them completely. Instead the woocommerce functions.php file sets the template on line 339

    wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' );

    editing this gets it to look at my template file, though I obviously don’t want to edit that functions file – so how can I override that?

    OK, talking to myself here, but I’ve added

    if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_content' ) ) {
	function woocommerce_content() {
		if ( is_singular( 'product' ) ) {
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
				wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-book' );
			endwhile;
		}
	}
}

    to my themes functions.php file which works – but how do I target a product category?

    Cracked it – in functions.php of my theme:

    if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_content' ) ) {
	function woocommerce_content() {
		if ( has_term( 'CATEGORY-NAME', 'product_cat' ) ) {
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
				wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-CATEGORY-NAME' );
			endwhile;
		}
		else {
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
				wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' );
			endwhile;
		}
	}
}
