Dynamic Button Coding

Below is listed the full coding for the dynamic button located in the functions.php of the website child theme. Its basic function is to get the price, format it, and change when a sale is currently running. To integrate it into an html page simply add [woocommerce_price id=”product_id”] to your body text and the correct data is populated on page load. [woocommerce_price id=”1754″] is the exact shortcode for the 001 Game Creator product.

/**
* Woocommerce price shortcode [woocommerce_price id=”99″]
*/
function so_30165014_price_shortcode_callback( $atts ) {
$atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘id’ => null,
), $atts, ‘bartag’ );

$html = ”;

if( intval( $atts[‘id’] ) > 0 && function_exists( ‘wc_get_product’ ) ){
$_product = wc_get_product( $atts[‘id’] );
}

if( intval( $atts[‘id’] ) > 0 && function_exists( ‘wc_get_product’ ) && $_product-
>get_regular_price() > $_product->get_price() ){
$_product = wc_get_product( $atts[‘id’] );
$html = ‘

‘ . ‘‘ . “$” . $_product-
>get_regular_price() . ‘
‘ . ‘‘ . “$” . $_product->get_price() . ‘‘ . ‘

‘;
} else {
$_product = wc_get_product( $atts[‘id’] );
$html = ‘

‘ . ‘‘ . “$” . $_product-
>get_regular_price() . ‘
