Using wc_get_template for custom my account page after 2.6 update.

Better use your tabbed My Account now, since it will provide more support for plugins and themes (because our new filters, actions and endpoints).
Here you can find docs about of how customize the tabbed My Account page: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/wiki/2.6-Tabbed-My-Accout-page

Yes, I have already read that wiki, but it doesn’t give any information about how to render the endpoint content without using the endpoint system.

I would like to organize the myaccount page differently, and avoid having to reload the page for each section. Is there any documentation on that?

Is wc_get_template() a good method? Is there a better method?

In the 2.6 release announcement, they said the new tabbed my-account template was created to reduce load time for sites with many WC extensions, but if you only have a few WC extensions and the my account page loads fast already, this new tabbed system is actually slower than the old system, because the user has to wait for the page to load every time they switch between tabs. That’s not an improvement in my opinion.

Could you make any suggestions re: my original question?

It would be much appreciated.

I just need to know which parameters to pass to which my account template parts so that they render with the current user’s information (i.e. user object or user id). Can you help me with that?

Nop and you really should use the new endpoints.

Not true, since we don’t load all the data at the same time as before.
And not any importance to load the page to access a new page.

Good luck!

Don’t forget that plugins will soon start adding new menus too, such as WooCommerce Subscriptions, then it will be increasingly difficult to maintain what you did working.

No idea, since I have no idea how you did your customization.

That’s very disappointing ?? I was hoping you could at least point me in the right direction.

Not true, since we don’t load all the data at the same time as before.

Actually it is definitely true!

Scenario 1: load everything on the my account page at once – load time = 1 second

Scenario 2: load each section separately – load time = .5 seconds

If you have 5 sections on your my account page, scenario 2 will require 2.5 seconds of browser load time to view them all, versus 1 second in scenario 1.

Am I missing something?

Anyway, the best thing about WooCommerce is it customizability. If I switch to the new tabbed my account endpoints, I will be drastically changing my customers’ user experience, for the worse. It sucks that you aren’t at least telling me that what I want to do is possible, especially since it was possible in the previous version. I only want to continue doing what I’m currently doing, but you’re telling me that it isn’t possible?

C’mon man. Help me out.

Sorry, but how? No idea what you did or is doing.

Am I missing something?

Yes! My Account pages carrying massive data without any cache on a page that can not be cached. “load time = 1 second”? Lucky man you are!
In several cases had pages with much more than 60 seconds and even bursting the PHP memory limit and now we can split it into little subpages, no more problems with long queries or PHP memory limit.
This is the scenario of multiple of our users.

I understand your point of view, so I wish you good luck with your custom code.

especially since it was possible in the previous version. I only want to continue doing what I’m currently doing

And you don’t need to use the new tabbed My Account page, you can keep your old templates, no problem.

Ok, I’m sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear in my original question.

Let’s just take one example:

Before the 2.6 update I used the following to display the “My Orders” section:

wc_get_template( 'myaccount/my-orders.php', array( 'order_count' => $order_count ) );

But now that the my-orders.php template is deprecated, I would like to use the orders.php template instead. But when I use the same function with the new orders.php template part, no orders are displayed. Instead it says “No order has been made yet.”

I tried the following:

wc_get_template(
    'myaccount/orders.php',
    array(
        'order_count' => $order_count,
        'user'        => $user,
    )
);

But I can’t get the orders to display.

So what parameters do I need to pass to the above function to get it working again?

But now that the my-orders.php template is deprecated, I would like to use the orders.php template instead

Not really, you can keep using the my-orders.php template, at least until WooCommerce 3.0.

But when I use the same function with the new orders.php template part, no orders are displayed. Instead it says “No order has been made yet.”

No need to use wc_get_template(), it’s better if you use the woocommerce_account_orders( 1 ) function.
You can find this function and others in: https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/woocommerce/tags/2.6.0/includes/wc-template-functions.php

Here the source code of woocommerce_account_orders():

	/**
	 * My Account > Orders template.
	 *
	 * @param int $current_page Current page number.
	 */
	function woocommerce_account_orders( $current_page ) {
		$current_page    = empty( $current_page ) ? 1 : absint( $current_page );
		$customer_orders = wc_get_orders( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_query', array( 'customer' => get_current_user_id(), 'page' => $current_page, 'paginate' => true ) ) );

		wc_get_template(
			'myaccount/orders.php',
			array(
				'current_page' => absint( $current_page ),
				'customer_orders' => $customer_orders,
				'has_orders' => 0 < $customer_orders->total,
			)
		);
	}

And yes, all tabbed My Account endpoints have functions like that ??

Thank you!

resolved-ish

I am having the same issue whilst trying to create a custom my-account page. I want to be able to display the users personal details (first name, last name etc) and billing/shipping addresses. When I follow your method I cannot get any content to display. Can you explain howto implement the woocommerce_account_orders function.

P.s. I am new to coding and Woocommerce

Thanks

Hey @cnomadl, I ended up going an entirely different direction and using the plugin: “SS WooCommerce Myaccount Ajax Tabs” (find it on code canyon here: https://codecanyon.net/item/ss-woocommerce-myaccount-ajax-tabs/16948806).

It works quite nicely and is customizable to my needs. You can still hook into the my account tabs in the woocommerce recommended way and the plugin accommodates those customizations.

Good luck!
