How to Replicate a Shortcode Inside a Twig Template for WooCommerce Orders

When dealing with WooCommerce and WordPress, you might encounter situations where you want to implement specific functionalities that aren't directly available in templates. One common scenario is replicating a shortcode in your Twig templates. Recently, a user faced the issue of displaying the correct order ID on the view-order.php page, where the ID remained unchanged regardless of the order viewed. Let's delve into the problem and provide a clear solution that can help you achieve your goal.

Understanding the Problem

The user had a shortcode that correctly displayed the order ID on the view-order.php page. However, when trying to replicate this functionality using a Twig template, they encountered a problem:

Correct display: When viewing order 001, the correct ID (001) was displayed.

Incorrect display: Upon viewing order 002, the ID displayed remained (001) instead of updating to (002).

This inconsistency is typically caused by how data is fetched and processed in different environments (like shortcodes versus custom templates). The user was using a third-party plugin called e-addons to utilize Twig templates and sought support to resolve this issue.

Step-by-Step Solution

To successfully replicate the shortcode functionality in your Twig template, follow these steps:

1. Create a New Elementor Page

First, you need to create a new page using Elementor, aptly titled "Test Page".

This new page will be used to display the order details via the Twig template.

2. Filter WooCommerce Endpoint URL

You need to redirect the default WooCommerce view-order endpoint to your newly created Elementor page. This is where the order ID will be passed as a query parameter.

Here’s the code snippet to add to your functions.php file:

3. Configure the E-Addons Posts Query Widget

Once your filter is set up, modify the new page in Elementor:

Drag the E-Addons Posts Query widget to your page area.

Configure the widget settings as outlined below:

Query Tab Settings

Query Type: Select Post Type

Options: Under Post Type, choose Order

Status: Select Any

Query Filter Settings

In the settings for filters, ensure to select Meta Key and configure the following:

Meta Key: Select _customer_user

Value Type: Choose Numeric

Compare Operator: Set to =

Post Field Value: Select User Field

4. Use the Twig Template

After setting up your query, the final step is to make sure your Twig template pulls the correct order details based on the passed order ID. Use the following Twig code:

This code should now correctly reference the order ID based on the user’s selection from their order history, ensuring the displayed ID updates correctly.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to effectively replicate your shortcode functionality within a Twig template, allowing for a more customizable and visually appealing order display using Elementor. With WooCommerce and Elementor combined, the possibilities for tailoring your users' experiences are quite vast. Always ensure to test after making changes to verify accuracy.

With this guide, we hope that you can easily overcome the issue of displaying order IDs correctly when using Twig templates in WordPress and WooCommerce. If you encounter any challenges, feel free to revisit the steps or dive into more specialized WooCommerce forums for assistance.
