I want to expand the functionality of the woocommerce recent_products shortcode to allow the number of days to be set.
It does not need to be a parameter of the shortcode although that would be REALLY nice.
It would be fine if the days was hard coded into the loop.
This is the code for the shortcode that displays recent products. I have tried various things without success. In case its useful I am posting some code I found that relates to limiting posts displayed to x recent days also. That appears after this
<?php
function baba_recent_products() {
//return 'This is where the recent products should show up if I get the shortcode working. ';
global $woocommerce_loop;
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'per_page' => '48',
'columns' => '2',
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'desc'
), $atts ) );
$meta_query = WC()->query->get_meta_query();
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => $per_page,
'orderby' => $orderby,
'order' => $order,
'meta_query' => $meta_query
);
ob_start();
$products = new WP_Query( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_query', $args, $atts ) );
$woocommerce_loop['columns'] = $columns;
if ( $products->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_start(); ?>
<?php while ( $products->have_posts() ) : $products->the_post(); ?>
<?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_end(); ?>
<?php endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
return '<div class="woocommerce columns-' . $columns . '">' . ob_get_clean() . '</div>';
}
add_shortcode( 'baba_recent_products', 'baba_recent_products' );
Recent posts code
function filter_where($where = '') {
//posts in the last 30 days
$where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";
return $where;
}
add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
