Hi Anh,
I was reading the docs on MB Custom Table. You give the example of how WooCommerce creates 40 custom fields for one order. And how the MB Custom Table would bring all this into 1 column.
Can we actually do this with WooCommerce & the MB Custom Table or was this just a hypothetical example? I would really like to move all Woo fields into a custom MB Table like in your example.
Is this currently possible? As it's an excellent idea.
The amount of rows added for one order is worrisome, so I was thinking of using MB Tables to reduce the number of rows required -- just like your example states.
From your response here, I understand it's not even possible to achieve this with MetaBox? If yes, why is it even presented as an example?
If it is possible, could you please provide an example?
You can save the product data (field value) to the custom table but WooCommerce has its own procedure to save its own data to the database and display it on the frontend. For example, WooCommerce saves the product meta SKU, Price, Stock Quantity ... to the table wc_product_meta_lookup
So if you want to do that, you need to create a lot of custom code to save it to your own custom table.
