FAQ

How to incorporate Products Table Compare on youe site or eshop

Place <?php do_shortcode('products_compare'); ?> or [products_compare] in your templates or files

How do I filter the products table by product categories

The default behavior of the Products Table Compare plugin is to show all products, in order to filter the products by product category
you have to use the “cat” variable with your selected product category ID inside the short code, for exemple:

 <?php do_shortcode('products_compare cat=1'); ?> or [products_compare cat=1] - will only populate the table with products from the product ctegory with the ID "1".

In case you want to populate the tabke with more than onre product category, you should seperate the categories with a comma, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare cat=1,2'); ?> or [products_compare cat=1,2] - will only populate the table with products from the product categories of ID's "1" and "2".

My table has only the head row but no information

Thats becuase you didn’t choose the product information for your table.

Basicly you have 3 types of product information: products shipping measerment and data (weight, height length and price)
woocommerce products attributes and advenced custom fields (acf plugin).

In order to populate the table with product data and measerment you need to use the data name in the info variable in the shortcode, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare info=price'); ?> or [products_compare info=price] - will populate the tabele with the price row.

In order to populate the table with more than one product data or measerments rows, you should seperate the info variable data with a comma, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare info=price,length'); ?> or [products_compare info=price,length] - will populate the tabele with the price and length rows.

In order to populate the table with product attributes you need to use the attribule name in the attrs variable in the shortcode, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare attrs=color'); ?> or [products_compare attrs=color] - will populate the tabele with the color row.

In order to populate the table with more then one product attribues rows, you should seperate the attribues names with a comma in the attrs variable, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare attrs=color,size'); ?> or [products_compare attrs=color,size] - will populate the tabele with the color and size rows.

In order to populate the table with advenced custom fields you first need to set up the “Advenced Custom Fields” plugin.
Then you need to use the acf slug that you set up in the acf variable in the shortcode, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare acf=moter'); ?> or [products_compare acf=motor] - will populate the tabele with the motor row.

be advised that the row name that will be shown in the left most cell in the row is the field slug that you set up

In order to populate the table with more then one product attribues rows, you should seperate the attribues names with a comma in the attrs variable, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare acf=motor,electric-system'); ?> or [products_compare acf=motor,electric-system'] - will populate the tabele with the motor and electric-system rows.

How do I set up the swatches option

First, you will need to set up the “Variation Swatches for WooCommerce” plugin.
Then you need to follow the variation swatches toturial and set up color hexes to your color product attributes make sure you name the attribue “color” and not “colors”.
After you finished these steps you should incorporate the swatches option with the “swatches” variable and the property 1 in the shortcode, for exemple:

<?php do_shortcode('products_compare attrs=color swatches=1'); ?> or [products_compare attrs=color swatches=1]
