Hi Enfold team,

I want to use the product slider as a ‘related products’ module, in a product page. I want to show all the other products from the subcategory, except of course the current one.

I don’t want to use the “related products” module because it has not as many options as the product slider element, furthermore, I will need to add related products for each product, which I don’t want because I will waste time doing that instead of simply highlight the other products from the current subcategory.

I have found this code on an enfold topic, regarding the same issue but with the portfolio element.
```
function ava_exclude_portfolio($query) {
	if (is_singular('portfolio')) {
    $exclude = avia_get_the_ID();
		$query->set( 'post__not_in', array($exclude) );
	}
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'ava_exclude_portfolio');
```
What will be the code needed to do this trick with Woocommerce products instead of Portfolio items?
Best regards,

Hey dimitrilpc,

I have not tested the code but you can try it with:
```
function ava_exclude_portfolio($query) {
	if (is_singular('product')) {
    $exclude = avia_get_the_ID();
		$query->set( 'post__not_in', array($exclude) );
	}
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'ava_exclude_portfolio');
```

Hi dude,

I didn’t saw your quick reply, thank you for it. I had tested this code, I should have stated it in my original post, sorry. I think the reason why this code doesn’t work is because WooCommerce have its own methods to call products. I see for example the avia_get_the_ID() method, and I wonder if this is the proper way to call a WC product ID.

Best regards,

Hi,

You could use the global product variable to fetch the product id. You can use the variable like:
```
global $product;
$id = $product->get_id();
```
(or before Woocommerce 2.6)
```
global $product;
$id = $product->id;
```
You can also try to replace the pre_get_posts action with woocommerce_product_query ( http://hookr.io/actions/woocommerce_product_query/ – however this would require a rewrite of the function)

Best regards,
Peter

Hi dude,

Unfortunately, these two code snippets doesn’t work: I have a blank page with both of them.

I looked up the code in productslider.php (in the folder productslider) and found these lines in the file (at line 679):
```
if( ! empty( $terms ) )
			{
				$tax_query[] =  array( 	
									'taxonomy' 	=>	$params['taxonomy'],
									'field' 	=>	'id',
									'terms' 	=>	$terms,
									'operator' 	=>	'IN'
							);
			}			
			
			$query = array(
							'post_type'				=>	$params['post_type'],
							'post_status'			=>	'publish',
							'ignore_sticky_posts'	=>	1,
							'paged'					=>	$page,
							'offset'            	=>	$params['offset'],
							'post__not_in'			=>	( !empty( $no_duplicates ) ) ? $avia_config['posts_on_current_page'] : array(),
							'posts_per_page'		=>	$params['items'],
							'orderby'				=>	$ordering_args['orderby'],
							'order'					=>	$ordering_args['order'],
							'meta_query'			=>	$meta_query,
							'tax_query'				=>	$tax_query
												);
			
			
			if ( isset( $ordering_args['meta_key'] ) ) 
			{
	 			$query['meta_key'] = $ordering_args['meta_key'];
	 		}

			$query = apply_filters( 'avia_product_slide_query', $query, $params );
			query_posts( $query );
			
		    // store the queried post ids in
            if( have_posts() )
            {
                while( have_posts() )
                {
                    the_post();
                    $avia_config['posts_on_current_page'][] = get_the_ID();
                }
            }
```
How can I pass the ID of the current product in the post__not_in of the $query array? Maybe this could work,

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

Try to use the “avia_product_slide_query” filter.
```
add_filter('avia_product_slide_query', 'avia_product_slide_query_mod', 10, 2);
function avia_product_slide_query_mod($params, $grid, $test) {
        global $product;
        $id = $product->get_id();
        if( is_singular('product') ) {
	     $params['post__not_in'] = array($id);
        }
	return $params;
}
```
Best regards,

Hi Ismael,

This doesn’t work either. This time, I have a grey screen. I looked in the console, but nothing. You can see my page with this screenshoot. I also tried to deactivate all my plugins except WooCommerce to see if there is a conflict but there is none.

Best regards,
