Hi (like the support ticket before this one), I am also trying to add a hyperlink to a text field as a product attribute to a Product in WooCommerce and show that field in my WOOT Table.
The product attribute is to be a hyperlink to a PDF file which is a manual for the product.
Here is the content I placed in the WooCommerce Attribute;
<a href="https://www.crosshydraulics.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Valves_Mechanical_and_Solenoid_Cartridge_Valves_Delta_Cartridge_Valves_Mechanical_Pressure_Controls_Relief_DE-RVA_DERVA.pdf" target="new">SPEC PDF</a>
However the resulting hyperlink in my WOOT table is;
https://www.crosshydraulics.com.au/specsheet/spec-pdf/
Results page:
https://www.crosshydraulics.com.au/product/cvm-pc-relief/
Another example is the link: https://www.crosshydraulics.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Valves_Mechanical_and_Solenoid_Cartridge_Valves_Delta_Cartridge_Valves_Mechanical_Pressure_Controls_Relief_DE-RVA_DERVA.pdf
Changes to: https://www.crosshydraulics.com.au/specsheet/https-www-crosshydraulics-com-au-wp-content-uploads-2022-05-valves_mechanical_and_solenoid_cartridge_valves_delta_cartridge_valves_mechanical_pressure_controls_relief_de-rva_derva-pdf/
In the SPEC Column all the links are wrong, how can this be fixed?

Hello Mark
Its doing in another way:
- Use meta field instead, because product attribute is taxonomy and not text https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20230807171246.png
- install this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-bulk-editor/ to set links to docs for your products
- https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20230807171336.png + https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20230807171417.png - its not obligated but will make life more easy - value should be link only, do not use HTML
- next, into functions.php file of the current wp theme add next code
add_action('woot_meta_data_cell', function($value, $meta_data, $post_id, $table_id) { if ($meta_data['meta_key'] === '_my_txt_link'/* AND $table_id === 21*/) { $value ="<a href='{$value}'>SPEC PDF</a>"; } return $value; }, 10, 4); - result will be as you want https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20230807171740.png
_my_txt_link - is just an example, you can name meta key as you want but do not use spaces!
Hi and thank you for your prompt reply Elisio
I purchased the full version of the Bulk Editor (I hope that helps support you guys for the good work you do).
I did as above and that worked perfectly.
There would be two further requests please.
1. How can I make the links open in a new window?
2. Currently on my WOOT table - the column I have setup displays 'SPEC PDF' in each row even if there is no link entered (if no manual link has been added it links to a product URL). Is it possible to show nothing unless an entry has been made?
Again, your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Mark
Hello Mark
Thank you :)
Here is the code:
add_action('woot_meta_data_cell', function ($value, $meta_data, $post_id, $table_id) {
if (!empty($value)) {
if ($meta_data['meta_key'] === '_my_txt_link'/* AND $table_id === 21 */) {
$value ="<a href='{$value}' target='_blank'>SPEC PDF</a>";
}
}
return $value;
}, 10, 4);
In new version of the code is going value check, so if field is empty nothing to display, and also to open pdf document in new window into link added attribute _target with its value '_blank'
I hope this version will help you ...
