How to import into AMB Variable Affiliate Products for WooCommerce.
Use these instructions to detect the custom fields: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/custom-fields/theme-plugin-fields/. Here are the fields you need to import into:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| _amb_vap_prod | import "yes" (without quotes) for the parent product to enable the variable affiliate option. |
| _amb_vap_prod_cart_text | import the buy button text |
| _amb_wpvap_variation_url | import the variation affiliate URL |
| _amb_vap_prod_url | import the parent product affiliate URL |
And, you'll need to save this code in your child themes functions.php file or in a plugin like Code Snippets ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ ):
add_filter( 'delete_post_metadata', 'my_fix_amb_vap_save', 999, 5 );
function my_fix_amb_vap_save( $should_delete, $object_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $delete_all ) {
$amb_vap_keys = array( '_amb_vap_prod', '_amb_vap_prod_url', '_amb_vap_prod_cart_text', '_amb_wpvap_variation_url' );
$manual_run = isset($_GET['page']) && ($_GET['page'] == 'pmxi-admin-import' || $_GET['page'] == 'pmxi-admin-manage');
$cron_cron = isset($_GET['import_id']) && isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == 'processing';
if ( $manual_run || $cron_cron ) {
if ( in_array( $meta_key, $amb_vap_keys ) ) {
$should_delete = true;
}
}
return $should_delete;
}This ensures that the custom fields are imported and not deleted when the product is saved.
The solution works nice, thank you for that.
But do you have a solution for the next case, when we have a variation with only one size for example.
The affiliate link is not showing on the product page but you see the button add to cart. Also when i export this product i see the custom fields (_amb_vap_prod, _amb_vap_prod_cart_text, _amb_wpvap_variation_url,_amb_vap_prod_url) are not setted.
I think it has to deal something with the option below. Do you know how i can use the ones which had only one variation as affiliate product in stat of creating as simple product.
Hope you can help us:)
