What’s New?

  • Added support for CoCart Plus.
  • Updated WooCommerce Notes.
  • Products API: Gets all registered product taxonomies.
  • Products API: Added support to query product_variations by attribute slugs.
  • Products API: Product meta data is now filterable. (API v2 ONLY) See below for notes.

For Developers

  • Products API: Filter introduced cocart_products_ignore_private_meta_keys allows you to prevent meta data for the product to return. (API v2 ONLY)

This filter can be useful should a 3rd party plugin expose private data that should not be made available to the public. For example a plugin that is designed to use web push notifications and exposes an email address.

See code example below.
add_filter( 'cocart_products_ignore_private_meta_keys', function( $ignore_private_meta_keys ) {
  $ignore_private_meta_keys[] = 'webpush_campaign_widget';
  $ignore_private_meta_keys[] = 'webpush_campaign_widget_modify_content';
  $ignore_private_meta_keys[] = 'email_campaign_widget';
  $ignore_private_meta_keys[] = 'email_campaign_widget_modify_content';
  return $ignore_private_meta_keys;
} );
  • Products API: Filter introduced cocart_products_get_safe_meta_data to control what product meta is returned. (API v2 ONLY)
  • Introduced new filter cocart_products_get_related_products_exclude_ids to exclude products from related products.
add_filter( 'cocart_products_get_related_products_exclude_ids', function( $excluded_ids ) {
	$excluded_ids[] = '123';
  	$excluded_ids[] = '4244';
	return $excluded_ids;
) };
