That’s great, thanks. Adding multiple items is working, thanks. Looking forward to the updates to custom order, cheers

I understand, thanks. I think the main issue is that ‘create order’ in admin doesn’t allow for modifications to item count (or price) and I was looking for some change to PayLink to circumvent that.

Example:
Store owner wants to setup a private, non-front end payment, for someone (as often is the case with corporate buyers who want to pay by bank transfer or card – for a variety of complex orders – imagine a school looking to purchase for different campuses) and receive some sort of discount based on bulk.

I’d thought to perhaps use Paylink to collect payment and then create the orders for them, but it’s not ideal as there is no solid way to fulfill the request by creating an order for the user once payment received (as they’re public) and because there is no way to fulfill the order currently by using Create New in order admin which has some limitations as to what can be created/edited.

Alternatively, I can create coupons for the user, but then they need to build the order/orders themselves and enter multiple coupons for each product (also not ideal).

I suppose the issue would be addressed by simply improving the admin ‘order create new’ functionality to allow for customizations with feature parity with the normal cart so that quantity, coupons, price can be configured by store admin rather than updating the Paylink functionality.

This way the store admin can setup an order easily for user and activate it once payment received by Paylink.

Alternatively, one can setup license pricing for each product that has tiers for quantity and just modify the code so that the license priced products are only available in the admin.

Sweet, thanks guys. Minor things, but will continue to report them. 🙂

Just an update on this – it seems not so straightforward as some things happen via ajax and some things happen via php.

The best solution I’ve come up with is a function to listen for ajaxComplete (code example below) which I can then use to fire additional actions in wp to handle order updates. I’d thought to do this with php with the wp_ajax_wpdmpp_async_request, but it’s difficult to fire anything after the ajax requests (priority has to be earlier or they don’t fire).

User would still need to catch the non ajax updates though as well, so it’s also not ideal.

Would be great if any event that updates an order (ajax or php) fired a universal action so that developer can keep order related data updated/synced. If you have some other suggestions do let me know. I’m probably doing this the hard way for no reason 🙂 Thanks

                // Get the response data from the AJAX request
                var responseData = jqXHR.responseText;
                console.log("Response data:", responseData);

                // Perform a custom action after the response is received (error or not, doesn't matter)
		callMyCustomWPFunction();
            }

	    // Do something on wpdmpp_updateOrderExpiryDate;
            if (requestData.indexOf('action=wpdmpp_updateOrderExpiryDate') !== -1) {
                // The 'action' parameter is set to 'wpdmpp_updateOrderExpiryDate'

                console.log("Response data:", responseData);

                // Perform a custom action after the response is received (error or not, doesn't matter)
		callMyCustomWPFunction();
            }

            // Etc...Do more things on other wpdmpp js ajax actions
        }
    });
})(jQuery);

@Shahjada – any chance similar hooks can be placed on the ajax calls as well (updateOS(), updatePS() etc.) as well?

Just realized that my update() hooks aren’t firing and performing what’s required when updating things via the admin. In other words, doing it via ajax vs doing it via php should all fire wpdmpp_update_order and wpdmpp_order_updated, otherwise having the filters/actions on update() alone will lead to inconsistent behaviors. There are a bunch of individual actions it seems in admin that ‘update’ the order to handle though.

Alternatively, I could prob solve this on my end by just adding a custom button to admin order edit page called ‘save all’ that fires to ensure nothing is missed for shop administrator, but a bit hacky and error prone solution.

Thanks

Great thanks

Doh, my previous message got erased when editing it. I’ll try again:

I’m trying to follow your instructions to create an order, but getting undefined discount_amount when running open() and error points here.

When addItem(), there is no discount_amount, only role discount in the $cart_data and so when calling open() it fails here.

Am I missing something? Thanks

Awesome, thanks as always!

Hi Tanvir, I mean for files that are display oriented like in Account/my-account, user-account etc. Are they setup for overrides if I put them in a particular place or should I just manually configure things to use my own? Thanks

Sure, I’d simply like to display some custom data in the admin for an order. If we can’t modify the admin templates is there a hook for this? In this particular case, the new getOrder hook will work fine actually, so not really an issue anymore, but in general is there a preferred way to add meta to the order admin?

Thanks. No updates/support past a certain date, but continued access to the things you owned when you purchased. If updates are released and you want them, then you pay for them. But otherwise you can keep using what you owned. Always seemed fair to us. Plus we have 3rd party contractual obligations and technical restraints that make it literally impossible for us to deactivate anything anyways. If people lose/misplace their files, they should have a way to get them back imo, but future software releases are paid for. It’s a headache though! 🙂

I’ve seen this model in the wp community as well (Delicious brains does this) where you can download what you owned up until the date of expiry. Seems fair.

Yeh, actually just testing this now and using the getOrder filter won’t work at all for this case unfortunately. The order page is set to Complete because get order runs when loading the page which I didn’t notice at first try.

The page should be expired and all the messaging / logic should remain expired (for renewal actions, upsell etc.). However, it should allow for downloads instead of blocking them in the wpdmpp download() function validity checks. So, unintended consequences using a general filter on order seem unavoidable.

For example (with filter in ‘download()’):
– User goes to order details
– User sees ‘account expired’
– User sees prompts to ‘renew’
– User sees download buttons
– Clicks on them and gets a list of all downloads available up until the expiration.
– User clicks download, the download() apply filter on the order data kicks in
– $odata gets set to ‘complete’ and ‘expire date’ is in future so user is allowed to download
– $odata isn’t’ passed anywhere from that function so it dies there (I think).

With filter using getOrder:
– User goes to order details
– Page is set to Complete (not expired), so they are served everything as if they ‘completed order’
– User doesn’t see renewal instructions etc.

Also it becomes impossible to work around with other solutions like store a global and ‘reset back on before download’ because you can’t ‘getOrder’ again without running the filter again so you end up in a loop.

Nice one, thanks will check that out!
