Local Events for WooCommerce: for developers

WXP Local Events for WooCommerce offers two filters and one action. All names start with wxp_local_events_woocommerce_. The hooks of WXP Local Events itself are in Filter- and action hooks.

Overview #

How to use a hook #

A filter receives a value, can change it and must return it. An action tells you that something happened, and returns nothing. Add your code to the functions.php of your child theme, or to a small plugin of your own.

wxp_local_events_woocommerce_hold_minutes #

Filter. By default the time is the setting Hold stock (minutes) of WooCommerce, or 60 minutes when that is empty. The result is never lower than 5 minutes.

Return: the number of minutes.

add_filter( 'wxp_local_events_woocommerce_hold_minutes', function ( $minutes ) {
    return 30; // Hold seats for half an hour.
} );

wxp_local_events_woocommerce_open_coupon #

Filter. The coupon field (“Add coupons”) of the block checkout and the cart is opened by default for a cart with tickets, when coupons are enabled in WooCommerce. Return false to keep it closed.

Return: true or false.

add_filter( 'wxp_local_events_woocommerce_open_coupon', '__return_false' );

wxp_local_events_woocommerce_noindex #

Action. The ticket product of an event is kept out of the search results. For Rank Math the add-on sets the robots meta itself. For other SEO plugins, use this action to set noindex on the product.

Good to know #

• Product type: the hidden product has the type event_ticket. There is one product per event; the date of the occurrence travels with the cart line.
• Expiry job: unpaid reservations are released by a job on the schedule wxp_le_woo_quarter_hour (every 15 minutes), hook wxp_local_events_woocommerce_expire.
• SEO: Yoast SEO and All in One SEO support for noindex follows later; until then use the action above.
