“Reserve price has been met” before any bids

    When creating an auction for which I don’t need a reserve price, I have the following settings:

    • Opening Price: 1 (I have to fill in this or the buy now price before I can save the item)
    • Lowest Price to accept: 1 (once I’ve filled in “opening price” I’m forced to fill this in)

    Before any bids have been submitted the bid page for this item says: “Reserve price has been met”. Surely until a bid has been made the reserve has not been met.

    The code that determines what text to display looks like this:

    if ( $curr_price >= get_post_meta( $wdm_auction->ID, 'wdm_lowest_bid', true ) ) {
    ?>
       <div class="wdm_reserved_note wdm-mark-green wdm-align-left">
       <em><?php esc_html_e( 'Reserve price has been met.', 'wdm-ultimate-auction' ); ?></em>
       </div>
    <?php
    } else {
    ?>
       <div class="wdm_reserved_note wdm-mark-red wdm-align-left">
       <em><?php esc_html_e( 'Reserve price has not been met by any bid.', 'wdm-ultimate-auction' ); ?></em>
       </div>
    <?php
    }

    Would it be better if it went through the else branch until there was at least one bid, i.e. modify the if condition to also depend on the number of bids.

    Hello @peter8nss,

    1) We will review the issues you’ve mentioned, address them, and include the fixes in the next release of the auction plugin.

    -> “Reserve price has been met” message is displayed without any bids being placed, when the opening price and reserve price are the same.
    -> The customer message for cash payment method does not appear in the email sent to the customer after winning the auction.
    -> The description field is empty in both the admin and bidder emails.
    -> Notices such as “New Layout” or the “PRO banner” are not removed after closing them.

    2) Thank you for your insightful suggestion and for taking the time to suggest improvements related to caching and database queries. We will review your proposal with our team, and if feasible, we will work on incorporating this logic into future updates of the auction plugin.

    3) Thank you for sharing your custom requirement regarding the addition of options in the auction settings to choose between the nickname or display name for the bid history table. We currently have several tasks in our queue and will prioritize this feature accordingly.

    We value your suggestion and would like to inform you that, as a general policy, plugin customizations are offered on a paid basis. We understand that you may have additional customization needs. If you wish to proceed with this feature, please contact us through this form. We will review your request and discuss the next steps with you.

    We truly appreciate your efforts. It seems that you are quite interested in enhancing the auction functionality on your site. Please note that the free version of the plugin offers a limited set of features, and while improvements can be made, they may not fully meet your expectations regarding auction functionality. If you are serious about adding and implementing a more comprehensive auction solution on your site, we recommend considering our Ultimate Auction: Pro plugin. We encourage you to review its features and test the demo, as it offers more advanced functionality compared to the free version.

    We have addressed all the points raised in this query and are closing the other related threads to keep all queries consolidated in one conversation.

    Thank You
