How to manually create WooCommerce Downloadable Product
Here we are adding a file upload field in our form and we are giving the meta key as woo_files. You can change it as you want, but the code reference should be changed according to that also.
* Update the downloadable file array with appropriate meta values
*
* @param int $post_id
* @return void
*/
function wpufe_woo_file_paths( $post_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘wpuf_files'][‘woo_files'] ) ) {
$files = $_POST[‘wpuf_files'][‘woo_files'];
$woo_files = array();
foreach ($files as $file_id) {
$file_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $file_id );
$woo_files[md5( $file_url )] = array(
‘file' => $file_url,
‘name' => basename( $file_url )
);
}
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘_downloadable_files', $woo_files );
}
}
add_action( ‘wpuf_add_post_after_insert', ‘wpufe_woo_file_paths' );
add_action( ‘wpuf_edit_post_after_update', ‘wpufe_woo_file_paths' );
[/php]
When we are creating or updating the the product, we are saving the file URL's in WooCommerces files meta key _file_paths.
We need to insert a hidden field with meta key _downloadable_files and value should be yes, that will make the product as downloadable. Simple enough 🙂
