emilysnothere, thanks, now it works. Woocommerce 2.1.6

Hi,
Thanks a lot for this code. I've just install it on a fresh Woocommerce 2.1.12 (and WP 3.9.2) and it does the job!
However, I am facing a problem regarding the attributes display order...

I have created three predefined attributes (with custom ordering) and I have created a variable product with some variations.
When I display the product page, I have the table headings <th> that are in the correct order but the data below in the table row <td> are not matching...
In fact, when I am in the product edit page, on the attributes tab, I drag and drop the attributs to set the order and save the product. When I reload the product page on frontend, the heading have changed but not the columns below.

Does anyone have a fix?

Here are the two loops in my function.php:

<?php foreach ($attributes as $name => $options) :?>
  <th>
                        <?php 
                            $attr_name = $options['name'];
                            if (0 === strpos($attr_name, 'pa_')){
                                $attr_name = $woocommerce->attribute_label($attr_name);
                            }
                            echo $attr_name;
                        ?>
  </th>
<?php endforeach;?>

and

<?php foreach ($prod_variation['attributes'] as $attr_name => $attr_value) : ?>
  <td>
                        <?php
                            if (strpos($attr_name, '_pa_')){ // variation is a pre-definted attribute
                                $attr_name = substr($attr_name, 10);
                                $attr = get_term_by('slug', $attr_value, $attr_name);
                                $attr_value = $attr->name;
                            } 

                            else { // variation is a custom attribute
                                //$attr = maybe_unserialize( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_product_attributes' ) );
                                //$attr_value = var_dump($attr);
                                //$attr = get_term_by('slug', $attr_value, $attr_name);
                                //$attr_value = $attr->name;
                            }
                            echo str_replace(array('-','_'), ' ', $attr_value);

                        ?>
  </td>
<?php endforeach;?>

Could it be obtain the variations in a dropdown?
For example:

<select .... >
    <option ...> Red Color + Size XL: (12,00 €)  
    ...
    ...
</select>

how to show the stock level of each product ?

I'm trying to display a plain-text list of product attributes (either names or IDs), such as colors, underneath each product on the archive/catalog page. Which part of this code would I use to do this? I know it's in there, but all I need is the attributes plain-text output. Anyone know?

Hi i'm currently having a problem to display value of the attributes..

At the moment it's working nicely except that the variation values output the sanitized version i.e. '3.4 x 2.3' outputs as '34-23'

echo str_replace(array('-','_'), ' ', $attr_value) <-- i did use this but it's not really perfect since there are some '.' not showing up as in 'slug' of the term

Anyone have found the work arround for it? -thx in advance-

Has anyone figured out how to do only one "Add to Cart" button? Fill in the quantities and press one button would be awesome!

This is a great feature & has been working for me until I Updated Wordpress & Woocommerce.

I think this is the error I am getting


Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in [...][...] on line 34

If someone could help me I would really appreciate it! Thanks

Hi @renegadesk. Please look at line 178 of your code. Your Button have two types in there. That may be causing your issue.

Has anyone been able to make this work with the "Add to Cart" button using an Ajax Call? Everytime I hit the "Add to Cart" button the page refresh and it changes to the Description Tab.

The error "Call to undefined method WooCommerce::attribute_label()..." can be fixed by updating the name of the method on lines 83 and 86, to $woocommerce->**wc_**attribute_label($name)

you need to add $tabs in this function, if not, only the tab in the function will be display :
function re_woo_product_variations_tab( $tabs ) {
And $woocommerce is depreciate in WC 3+ - use WC()

This is great, thanks! Not sure if you ended up doing it, but you should definitely package this into a plugin.
