WooCommerce Catalog Visibility

[Johannes]

Hello,

By default new tickets should be set to hidden with Events Tickets Plus – correct?
If so, this feature is not working – at least in the newest WooCommerce and Events Tickets Plus version.

I believe instead of updating it through update_post_meta( $ticket->ID, ‘_visibility’, ‘hidden’ );
the product_attributes needs to be updated.

Thank you!

Good evening Johannes  and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this glitch.
We are actively working on a solution for this.

Alas, I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed, as it’s in the development team’s hands now.
They need to assign it, code it, test it, and schedule it for release.

The good news is that you will be contacted as soon as a fix is available.
Thank you for your patience as we see this through.

In the meantime, short you could apply the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top): https://gist.github.com/GeoffEW/dc504166ac629c226fa9b1f8988bf082

This will force all of your tickets to become hidden.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Thank you for checking into it. Unfortunately, the snippet did not work. WooCommerce must keep track differently of the visibility option. I think they moved it to a taxonomy but I am not sure. (I know your hook works though since I use other actions in it). However, since this is not an urgent issue, I will wait for the fix.

Thanks again.

As of WooCommerce 3.0; visibility is stored as a taxonomy term instead of post meta. Try this instead.

function tribe_events_woo_change_visibility( $ticket_ID ) {
	if ($product = wc_get_product($ticket_ID)) {
		$product->set_catalog_visibility('hidden');
		$product->save();
	}	
}

Thank you!

Yes, it took care of the catalog visibility. However, it still would be
nice if new tickets are automatically marked as non taxable. But, I have it
set it with a little code snippet. So, no need to change it for me.

Johannes

Good evening Johannes,

Thank you once again for your patience AND help.

I totally agree that such a feature would be useful.
The good news is that out of code snippets, extensions are created 🙂

You are welcome back in our support forums any time 🙂

For now, I am going to close this thread.

Have a great week!

Geoff B.
