I'm hoping someone can clue me in on how I can extract a plugin value and display it on my page using a short code. Specifically, when a user reaches the max allowable limit, I would like a notification message to appear on the page (in addition to its placement in a popup) Many tests and I have not been able to get this to work. MANY thanks in advance.
public function add_error_limit_message() {
if ( ! $this->limit_reached ) {
return;
}
$message = apply_filters( 'woocompare_limit_reached_message', __( 'You have reached the maximum number of products for compare table.', 'woocommerce-compare' ) );
echo '<div class="woocompare-error"><p>' . wp_kses_post( $message ) . '</p></div>';
}
add_shortcode( 'limit-reached-message', 'add_error_limit_message' );
Your shortcode function should return the text string you want to insert in place of the shortcode, not echo it.
To track down "critical errors" (php errors) turn on WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY in your wp-config.php file. And try installing and activating the Query Monitor plugin. These will tell you enough about your php errors to track them down and fix them.

How to notify through email in wordpress when visitor clicks on a link that this link was pressed and/or user ip, city and country was this?
I have given the link a class 'email-link'.
something like this should get you started
// functions.php
// HTML form markup
function mail_form_stuff() {
echo '<form action="' . esc_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) . '" method="post">';
echo '<p><input type="submit" name="send_the_email_to_admin" value="Click this button"></p>';
echo '</form>';
}
// make sure the email will allow for html -- not just plain text
add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'send_the_email_to_admin_content_type' );
function send_the_email_to_admin_content_type() {
return 'text/html';
}
// if the button is clicked, send the email
function deliver_mail_link_stuff() {
$admin_email = get_option( 'admin_email' );
if ( isset($_POST["send_the_email_to_admin"]) ) {
$_user = wp_get_current_user();
$_name = esc_html( $_user->user_firstname );
$_email = esc_html( $_user->user_email );
$to = $admin_email;
$subject = "Some person clicked my link";
$message = 'Hey this person clicked on that button'.'<br>';
$message .= "the persons email address was: $_email";
$headers[] = "From: $_name <$_email>" . "\r\n";
// $headers[] = "Bcc: John Smith <jsmith#gmail.com>" . "\r\n";
// If everything worked -- display a success message
if ( wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ) ) {
echo '<p>sent</p>';
} else {
echo 'An unexpected error occurred';
}
// reset wp_mail_content_type
remove_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'send_the_email_to_admin_content_type' );
}
}
function add_short_code_stuff() {
ob_start();
deliver_mail_link_stuff();
mail_form_stuff();
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'EMAIL_BUTTON', 'add_short_code_stuff' );
this will add a short code for you
you can then call the shortcode in your theme with
echo do_shortcode('[EMAIL_BUTTON]');
You can't do this as a direct consequence of WordPress since a link is HTML and has no correlation to or integration with anything controlled or processed directly by WordPress. WordPress is merely a structure/processes through which you can add info to a database and then later retrieve it.
If you question is actually meant in a more generic and not specifically wordPress sense, then the answer is any number of ways. You could for example create some JQuery or JS that would add that info everytime a link was clicked. But, you would need to interact with the page headers to try and get all the required info.
But, why bother doing that when a free & arguably market leading tool that does this is already available?
The logical process to this is to use Google Analytics (or a rival tool) as this already collects this kind of info with very little work required to set it up. If you want more specific "event" triggered data (eg a link is clicked), then you can also do this fairly easily too.

UPDATE
In your comment, you clarify that you want a real time email to be sent to you when a link is clicked, and thus analytics isn't going to fit the bill. In that case you will need to do some work using JQuery & AJAX.
In simple terms you'll need to do something this:
1) Create some JQuery to intercept the url of the link clicked
2) Pass the link (and header info) to a function via an AJAX call
3) Process the header data / send the email
4) Redirect user to the url passed from the link
Here's a tutorial on creating a simple AJAX process in WordPress: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tutorial-ajax-wordpress/
I am creating a email template and I am trying to get the size of the product. I have tried the following, but it retrieves all the sizes:
echo nl2br( $_product->get_attribute( 'size' ) );
The code above did work for color. Any ideas?
Your question is not clear about the problem. You should add few more
details, "are you trying to do outside of woocommerce loop?" and "are
you getting any error message?"
Anyway, you can get any custom attributes value by following code:
$product->get_attribute( 'your_attr' );
If your products custom attribute name is size, you can use as following:
global $product;
echo nl2br( $product->get_attribute( 'size' ) );
It should work. Thank you.
First thing first, this is my first shortcode attempt.
It is worthed mention that I'm also using woocommerce on my website.
Let's start:
I know that to add shortcodes into wordpress, you need to write something similar to the code below into the functions.php file: (this is just an example)
function myshortcode() {
return "This is a shortcode example!";
}
add_shortcode( 'mycode', 'myshortcode' );
and if i add [mycode] into the wordpress page editor, the preview shows my text correctly.
But what if i need to use a variable (in my case woocommerce order number) in the shortcode?
Let's say i need to compare woocommerce_order_number with my_custom_uid (inserted into another database, outside wordpress).
I usually use a db request like the one below, and usually it works fine (as before, this is only an example):
select 'my_custom_uid' from 'my_custom_database' where 'woocommerce_order_number' = '1234'
The problem is that i don't know the woocommerce_order_number (it changes everytime!), because this shortcode needs to go inside an html email body i need to send out to customers after they placed the order.
How can i get the customer woocommerce order (variable that changes everytime) so that i will be able to use it into my shortcode to link it to my custom_uid?
If the question is not clear enough, please feel free to ask for clarification!
thanks a lot
I don't see a reason to use a shortcode. If you want to add something to an email, you should use one of the hooks in the email. For example:
function kia_display_email_order_meta( $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text ) {
$some_field = get_post_meta( $order->id, '_some_field', true ),
$another_field = get_post_meta( $order->id, '_another_field', true ),
if( $plain_text ){
echo 'The value for some field is ' . $some_field . ' while the value of another field is ' . $another_field;
} else {
echo '<p>The value for <strong>some field</strong> is ' . $some_field. ' while the value of <strong>another field</strong> is ' . $another_field . '</p>';
}
}
add_action('woocommerce_email_customer_details', 'kia_display_email_order_meta', 30, 3 );
Note that the $order object is the first parameter available to the kia_display_email_order_meta function. So you'd be able to get the ID via $order->id. This should add the data after the customer address details, but there are other hooks available if woocommerce_email_customer_details isn't appropriate.
I finally managed to solve this, and here's what i did if someone is interested:
<?PHP
add_action('fue_before_variable_replacements', 'register_variable_replacements', 11, 4);
add_action('fue_email_variables_list', 'email_variables_list');
/**
* This gets called to replace the variable in the email with an actual value
* #param $var - Modify this: array key is the variable name, value is the replacement
*/
function register_variable_replacements($var, $email_data, $queue_item, $email){
global $wpdb;
// Look up UID from order number
$orderNumber = $var->get_variables()['order_number'];
$sql = " //Your sql statement here...//";
$results = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$UID = $results[0]->meta_value;
$variables = array(
'uid' => $UID
);
$var->register($variables);
}
function email_variables_list($email)
{
global $woocommerce;
?>
<li class="var hideable var_subscriptions">
<strong>{uid}</strong>
<img class="help_tip" title="<?php _e('Order UID', 'follow_up_emails'); ?>" src="<?php echo $woocommerce->plugin_url(); ?>/assets/images/help.png" width="16" height="16"/>
</li>
<?php
}
Now on your follow up email plugin, you can use {uid} as a variable and this will be replaced with the correct value on every email.
I though the best way was to use short code, but then i discovered this filter and i think this is the best way to handle this. This code is also pretty flexible and you can add as many variables as you want.
Hope this can help someone.
I am currently creating a widget to display the registration form on a WordPress website that uses WooCommerce. For now, I only have 3 basic fields which are email, password, repeat password. I'm looking forward to add more WooCommerce fields, but want to solve that problem before jumping to the next step.
I'm having some problems with the messages output (wrong password, account already exists, etc).
I searched on the web and there was no shortcode already built for WooCommerce registration, beside their registration page. So I went ahead and created a shortcode, with a template part.
function custom_register_shortcode( $atts, $content ){
global $woocommerce;
$form = load_template_part('framework/views/register-form');
return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'register', 'custom_register_shortcode' );
This is a snippet I use to get the template part inside a variable, since the default function would "echo" the content instead of "returning" it.
function load_template_part($template_name, $part_name=null) {
ob_start();
get_template_part($template_name, $part_name);
$var = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $var;
}
So, the problem is, when I call woocommerce_show_messages or $woocommerce->show_messages(); from my template part, nothing is showing, or if it is, it shows at the top of the page.
I did try to put the calls inside my shortcode function:
function custom_register_shortcode( $atts, $content ){
global $woocommerce;
$woocommerce->show_messages();
$form = load_template_part('framework/views/register-form');
return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'register', 'custom_register_shortcode' );
Doing so, the message output inside the <head> tag, which is not what I want.
I tried to do the same trick with ob_start(), ob_get_contents() and ob_clean() but nothing would show. The variable would be empty.
I also did try to hook the woocommerce_show_messages to an action as saw in the core:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_show_messages', 10 );
For something like:
add_action( 'before_registration_form', 'woocommerce_show_messages');
And I added this in my template-part:
<?php do_action('before_registration_form'); ?>
But I still can't manage to get the error messages show inside the box. It would always be inserted in the <head>
I will share final solution when everything is done.
Thanks for your time,
Julien
I finally got this working by hooking a custom function to an action which is called in my header.php
I guess hooking functions inside template part does not work as intended.
In header.php, I got this:
do_action('theme_after_header');
And here's the hooked function. Works perfectly.
function theme_show_messages(){
woocommerce_show_messages();
}
add_action('theme_after_header', 'theme_show_messages');
However, I will look into 'unhooking' the original show message function since it might show twice. Need to test some more ;)
You can also just use the [woocommerce_messages] shortcode in your template where you want it displayed
Replying to a bit of an old question, but you can also try the following:
$message = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_my_account_message', '' );
if ( ! empty( $message ) ) {
wc_add_notice( $message );
}
i'm working on a plugin that adds another parameter to feeds, i want to add a numberOfItems on the url and the feed returns that number of articles. I dont want to use the builtin option from WP Admin because the feed will be added on other websites with different number of items, it's a little bit complicated, the point is i need this implementation. i've added something like
function _my_custom_option( $option )
{
global $wp_query, $wp_rewrite;;
remove_filter( 'pre_option_posts_per_rss', '_my_custom_option' );
//$number = get_query_var('number');
$number = $wp_query->query_vars['numberOfItems'];
if(isset($number))
$option = $number;
else
$option = 10;
//$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
add_filter( 'pre_option_posts_per_rss', '_my_custom_option' );
return $option;
}
add_filter( 'pre_option_posts_per_rss', '_my_custom_option' );
It seems that the feed is cached somehow and doesnt generate with the number of items, because when i add paged=2, it works. But if i change on page=2 numberOfItems with another number, it doesnt change. Plus, i added some junk text in wp-includes >feed-rss2.php just to verify if it cached or not. And it doesnt show after the first 2-3 page refreshes.
To be honest, i'm stuck, i don't know how to approach this, i've looked on the wordpress code and i dont see where the caching is done.
What about this?
function do_not_cache_feeds(&$feed) {
$feed->enable_cache(false);
}
add_action( 'wp_feed_options', 'do_not_cache_feeds' );
