Support for Product Bundles

Thanks for trying out our plugin Ninos ??

You are very correct with your finding, the current version of the plugin extends the features provided by default WooCommerce. Hence, it may or may not support features that are added through extensions. This is the case with WooCommerce extension Product Bundles.

To add this support, an additional filter would be required to ensure that vendors can create bundles only from their product listing. The default plugin allows to create list from the entire listing. Would check the plugin from coding point of view and if it isn’t a lot of work, would add this support in very next update.

Would keep you posted with the dates.

Thanks and regards,

Hey there,
thanks for your response. An update already exists:
https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/includes/admin/meta-boxes/class-wc-meta-box-product-data.php#L38

May you can use it, so you have general support for custom product types ??

*a filter already exists

Here are my changes. If you want, you can use them ??

Thanks a ton Nino. We are into the final phase of testing for this integration. If all goes well, would add this in our very next update, of course you would hold the credit for this ??

Would keep you posted with test results.

Cool nice to hear ??

PS: *NinoS ??

Ok, small fix + I’ve added a similar filter for “Type Options”:

Hello Ninos,

Sorry for the typo :).

We are currently testing it and will update you on the results once we are done.

No stress. I’ll wait for the feedback, thank you! ??

Small question: do you already have a roadmap to support custom product types (merge this patch)?

Thank you ??

Hello NinoS,

We do have a roadmap for custom product types, but that list mainly includes Subscription and Booking product type. For all others, including Product Bundles we plan to add support as per requests. Would try to get the Product Bundle support added in next update itself.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Thanks for the response. As small information, my patch should also fix the subscription and booking product types, because it uses a woocommerce filter to get all registered product types ??

If that happens, this would be one of the biggest contribution by any of our community users though I would like to test the patch before I comment on the feasibility for other product types.

Updated file for latest version (v2.3.1)

Hello Ninos,

Thanks for the code. I tried to work on the shared code like before too but it still seems to be half-way solution from complete compatibility with the Product Bundles. While I am definitely going to work on this one, the timeline for the completed solution is not sure. The reason being that we have got 2 major tasks in coming days:

1. Compatibility support for WooCommerce 2.5.
2. A better Shipping module

Be assured that I shall reach out to you when we advance on the complete solution.

Regards,
Sandeep

Thanks for feedback. Can you please tell me, why it is a half solution for product bundles, more specific where a fix is needed. Than I can have a look and send a full patch.

BTW: I’m using this changes since some month in production and had no issues. Also other product types are supported by default. So if there are some specific unsupported functions of other custom product types or product bundles, this has nothing to do with my patch. My patch just enhances the product type selection (WC -> WCMp -> Products) in a more flexible way (easily support all current custom product tyes and the deleted ones without hardcoding them in this plugin).
