Exposing All Loop variables for custom plugin

I’m writing our own plugin and theme for use with Marketpress. I’ve been unable to find a support page that documents how to best expose all meta data variables as pulled from a single product in this case.

Specifically, in this case I am wishing to get the value of the Sale Price: Price, Start Date, End Date

Thanks in advance.

    Hello @amazon,

    I hope you are having a good day and thanks for asking us. :slight_smile:

    There are two meta stored for each product about sales price start date and end date which are,

    #1) sale_price_start_date

    #2) sale_price_end_date

    You can fetch those data for each product with the help of get_meta function of MP_Product class. For more information on MP_Product class, please refer /wp-content/plugins/marketpress/includes/common/class-mp-product.php file.

    Now you can use something like this in your custom loop to get those data. :slight_smile:

    <?php
    

    
if ( have_posts() ) {
    
while ( have_posts() ) {
    
the_post();
    
$product_id = get_the_ID();
    
$product = new MP_Product( $product_id );
    

    
$has_sale   = $product->get_meta( 'has_sale' );
    
$sale_price = $product->get_meta( 'sale_price_amount' );
    
$on_sale    = false;
    

    
if ( $has_sale && $sale_price ) {
    
$start_date = $product->get_meta( 'sale_price_start_date', false, true );
    
$end_date   = $product->get_meta( 'sale_price_end_date', false, true );
    
$time       = current_time( 'Y-m-d' );
    
$on_sale    = true;
    

    
if ( $start_date && $time < $start_date ) {
    
$on_sale = false;
    
} elseif ( $end_date && $time > $end_date ) {
    
$on_sale = false;
    
}
    
}
    

    
//
    
// Post Content here
    
//
    
} // end while
    
} // end if

    I hope this helps you. :slight_smile:
