Hi,

We could check the meta each time order is saved – with the woocommerce_after_order_object_save action.

Try adding this snippet to your site:

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_order_object_save', function ( $order ) {
    if (
        function_exists( 'alg_wc_ce_send_email' ) &&
        'yes' === $order->get_meta( 'your_meta_key' ) // replace meta key
    ) {
        $custom_email_id = 1; // for the "Custom email #1"
        alg_wc_ce_send_email( $custom_email_id, $order->get_id() );
    }
} );

Please let me know what you think.

Hi David,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

If you are still interested, please update the plugin to the latest v2.2.4. Now there is a new shortcode available: [order_item_meta]. The shortcode will output all items’ meta as a comma-separated list.

To use the shortcode, you need to specify the key – in your case, it should be something like this:

[order_item_meta key="date"]
[order_item_meta key="time"]

If you are not sure about the keys, try this (it will output all meta data, so you should be able to see the keys there):

[order_item_meta debug="yes"]

I hope this helps. And please let me know if you have any questions.

If anyone else is interested – the solution:

Since the plugin v1.6.0, we have a new function that you can use to get all discounted product ids:

alg_wc_gsd_get_product_ids( $product_query_args = array( 'limit' => -1 ), $incl_on_sale = true, $use_transient = false )

I.e., in your snippet, replace this:

$product_ids_on_sale = wc_get_product_ids_on_sale() ? wc_get_product_ids_on_sale() : array();

with this:

$product_ids_on_sale = alg_wc_gsd_get_product_ids() ? alg_wc_gsd_get_product_ids() : array();

The alg_wc_gsd_get_product_ids() function has three optional parameters:

• $product_query_args – sets which products to check. By default, it’s set to all products, i.e., array( 'limit' => -1 ). This parameter is passed directly to the WooCommerce wc_get_products() function, so you can use all the same parameters as listed in the documentation.
• $incl_on_sale – if set to true, will return all on-sale products in your shop, including products that you have set on-sale manually, without using our plugin.
• $use_transient – the function goes through all products in your shop, so it can be rather slow, especially if you have a lot of products. To speed things up, you can store results in a transient by setting the parameter to true. The transient expires after 24 hours.

P.S. Just in case, we also have a shortcode to display all discounted products, e.g.:

[alg_wc_gsd_products columns="4" use_transient="no"]

Hi,

Please update the plugin to the latest v1.9.0 – as requested, we’ve added the “User roles” options to the discount groups.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

P.S. If you like the plugin, please consider leaving me a rating.

Hi, Leonidas,

Ok, let me try…

Hi, Leonidas,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Yes, sure, you can send it to [email protected]. However, to be honest, I don’t think it will help – I’m almost sure they are taking sales prices directly from DB, as I described earlier.

Hi,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

You can create your own shortcodes and then use them in the custom email’s “Email content” option. For example, this PHP snippet will create the [my_alg_wc_custom_emails_order_items_data] shortcode:

add_shortcode( 'my_alg_wc_custom_emails_order_items_data', function ( $atts, $content = '' ) {
    $result = '';
    if ( function_exists( 'alg_wc_custom_emails' ) && ! empty( alg_wc_custom_emails()->core->shortcodes->order ) ) {
        $order = alg_wc_custom_emails()->core->shortcodes->order;
        foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item ) {
            foreach ( $item->get_data() as $key => $value ) {
                if ( in_array( $key, array( 'radio-group-1662572212029', 'text-1662572721887', 'date-1662573909693' ) ) ) {
                    $result .= $key . ' - ' . $value . '<br>';
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return $result;
} );

Please note that in your snippet, you are displaying cart item data, while in my snippet, we are displaying order item data – when sending an email, we don’t have cart data already. I’m not completely sure if the woocommerce_get_item_data filter returns the same result as the $item->get_data() function, but please give it a try.

Hi, Leonidas,

I’ve just replied in the wp.org forum thread, but just in case, I’m posting the same here:

I think that the “Filter Everything” plugin is taking sale prices directly from DB, i.e., from product meta, and our plugin is using filters to apply discounts, e.g., woocommerce_product_get_price.

The only solution I can see is to create a tool that would go through all products in your shop, apply our plugin’s price filters, and save each product’s new sale price in DB. I believe this would solve the issue with the “Filter Everything” plugin, however, you would need to use our plugin a bit differently, e.g., each time you change the discount percentage, you would need to run the tool again, so it would go through all products and assign new prices (now the plugin is applying new prices immediately, without the need to run any tools).

Please let me know what you think.
