Hi,

Is there a way to ensure that vendors can only submit new products if they have added a short description? This would be great as I always have to reject products because there is no short description.

It would also be cool to show an error message if they vendor does not add a short description. Something like ‘you must add a short description before submitting a product’.

Is this possible to do with a code snippet?

Thanks a lot!

Just to clarify, I’m referring to when vendors add new products through the vendor dashboard. It would be cool to show an error message on the vendor dashboard when a vendor tries to add a product without a short description.

In order to make the short description mandatory, please add this code in the function.php of the plugin :

/**
**required some wcmp product field 
**/
add_action( 'wcmp_before_post_update', 'required_wcmp_product_field' );
function required_wcmp_product_field(){

    $required_product_short_description = isset( $_POST['product_short_description'] ) ? $_POST['product_short_description'] : '';
    
    if(!required_product_short_description){
        wc_add_notice( __('You have to add short description', 'dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor'), 'error' );
        wp_redirect( apply_filters( 'wcmp_vendor_save_product_redirect_url', wcmp_get_vendor_dashboard_endpoint_url( get_wcmp_vendor_settings( 'wcmp_edit_product_endpoint', 'vendor', 'general', 'edit-product' ), $_POST['post_ID'] ) ) );
        exit;
    }
}

Thanks for the code. I just adding this but when testing it, it didn’t work. I’ve added a screenshot showing that I managed to submit a product through the dashboard with no short description or price.

Sorry, please use this updated code :

add_action( 'wcmp_before_post_update', 'required_wcmp_product_field' );
function required_wcmp_product_field(){
    $required_shipping_weight_field = isset( $_POST['product_short_description'] ) ? $_POST['product_short_description'] : '';
    
    if( !$required_shipping_weight_field ){
        wc_add_notice( __('You have to add description', 'dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor'), 'error' );
        wp_redirect( apply_filters( 'wcmp_vendor_save_product_redirect_url', wcmp_get_vendor_dashboard_endpoint_url( get_wcmp_vendor_settings( 'wcmp_edit_product_endpoint', 'vendor', 'general', 'edit-product' ), $_POST['post_ID'] ) ) );
        exit;
    }
}
