Idea for improvement

Hi @okoo,

I believe this is doable. We would need to add a PHP snippet to your site though. If that’s ok – there is the alg_wc_order_status_rules_do_apply_rule filter in our plugin. It allows you to customize the conditions of when the rule should be applied. So you need to add a simple rule, e.g.: Rule #1 / Status from: Processing / Status to: Completed. Set the “Time trigger” option to 0 (we will override that with our snippet). And finally, add this snippet to your site:

add_filter( 'alg_wc_order_status_rules_do_apply_rule', function( $do_apply, $order, $rule_id, $args ) {
    if ( 1 == $rule_id && $do_apply ) {
        $date_to_check = '2022-06-01'; // TODO: get the date of the event from the ACF here
        return ( time() >= strtotime( $date_to_check ) );
    }
    return $do_apply;
}, 10, 4 );

The only thing I’m not sure about is how to get the date of the event from the ACF. As you can see, in my snippet I’ve simply put 2022-06-01. Could you please give me more info so I could come up with an exact code? E.g. is this date stored in product meta? If so, what’s the meta key?

Hi @okoo,

Ok, so I think this snippet should solve it:

add_filter( 'alg_wc_order_status_rules_do_apply_rule', function( $do_apply, $order, $rule_id, $args ) {
    if ( 1 == $rule_id && $do_apply ) {
        $date_to_check = false;
        foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item ) {
            $product_id = ( ! empty( $item['variation_id'] ) ? $item['variation_id'] : $item['product_id'] );
            if ( ( $date_to_check = get_post_meta( $product_id, 'data-evento', true ) ) ) {
                break;
            }
        }
        return ( $date_to_check && time() >= strtotime( $date_to_check ) );
    }
    return $do_apply;
}, 10, 4 );

Please note that if your order has multiple products, the snippet will take the date of the first product with a non-empty data-evento meta.

Please give it a try and let me know if that works.

Hi @okoo,

Happy to help 🙂 Let me know if you’ll need anything else.
