Question/suggestion about donation duration

Hi @thomasperalta

I am glad you are enjoying Kudos and thanks for the positive feedback!

Actually there is a filter included in the upcoming version, as it is a relatively big update it has taken a while to make sure it all works. It is pretty close to release now and should be quite stable. I would actually love some feedback if you have time.

You can find the latest beta here: https://github.com/mikey242/kudos-donations/releases

The filter you want is called kudosFormDuration and is a javascript-based filter. Here is an example of how to use it:

import { addFilter } from '@wordpress/hooks';

addFilter(
    'kudosFormDuration',
    'my-plugin/kudos-duration',
    ( options ) => {
        // Example: limit to 1, 2, and 5 years only
        return options.filter( ( option ) =>
            [ 1, 2, 5 ].includes( option.value )
        );
    }
);

If you prefer to just put it in the functions.php file you could do it like this:

add_action(
	'wp_enqueue_scripts',
	function () {
		wp_add_inline_script(
			'kudos-view-script', // adjust to match the actual script handle.
			"
		          wp.hooks.addFilter(
		              'kudosFormDuration',
		              'my-plugin/kudos-duration',
		              function( options ) {
		                  // Only keep Continuous (0)
		                  return options.filter( function( option ) {
		                      return option.value === 0;
		                  } );
		              }
		          );
		          "
		);
	}
);

Remember this filter will only work with Kudos Donations from version 4.2.0 and up.

Grateful for any feedback and I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your feedback. The visual difference you mention is interesting, you could try changing the base font size and see if it gives a better result. You can find this setting in Settings > Help > Advanced. The base font size only effect Kudos and is used to basically scale the entire interface, not just the font size. If that doesn’t help you can always try to use some custom css to make it narrower (this needs to be entered under the custom css tab of a campaign):

#container {
    max-width: 500px;
    margin: auto;
}

The kudosFormDuration filter was only really designed to modify the options available, but you are right that it is not very user friendly to have a drop-down with only one option. I will consider your feedback here and see if it is feasible to add this feature later.

The old filter for kudos_frequency_options was a bit buggy in older versions, it only worked in specific circumstances so it has been replaced in 4.2.0 with kudosFormFrequencyOptions which is again a JavaScript hook. Here is an example of how to use it:

import { addFilter } from '@wordpress/hooks';

addFilter(
    'kudosFormFrequencyOptions',
    'my-plugin/remove-quarterly',
    ( options ) => {
        const filtered = { ...options };
        delete filtered['3 months'];
        return filtered;
    }
);

The 4.2.0 beta is pretty solid now and will be released within the next few weeks hopefully (pending some more feedback). I would say stick with it since it contains quite a few important improvements and bug fixes. Once the final release is available you will see the update in WordPress and can update from your current beta.

Happy to hear any other feedback you have for 4.2.0 and good luck with the foundation!

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Thomas,

The php filter follows the same format as the first one, just swapping the filter name and the logic to remove ‘3 months’:

add_action(                                                                                                                                                                      
    'wp_enqueue_scripts',                                                                                                                                                        
    function () {                                                                                                                                                                
        wp_add_inline_script(
            'kudos-view-script',
            "
                wp.hooks.addFilter(
                    'kudosFormFrequencyOptions',
                    'my-plugin/remove-quarterly',
                    function( options ) {
                        // Remove quarterly from options.
                        var filtered = Object.assign( {}, options );
                        delete filtered['3 months'];
                        return filtered;
                    }
                );
            "
        );
    }
);

As for the canceled payment not showing the modal, the difference should be down to your campaign settings. If you don’t have the modal enabled (to show a thank you message) then it will also not show a payment canceled message.

The difficult here is that Kudos does not know whether the payment was successful usually until just after the user is returned to the website (sometimes it can take around 5 seconds for Mollie to ping back and notify what the result was). The pop-up modal actually polls for the status update and shows the result once completed.

The modal should work with the custom return URL as long as it is to the same website. If you have both enabled and the return URL is to the same website then there may be a bug so let me know.

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Thomas,

Glad to hear the filter is working!

Thanks for your bug report, the fix is very easy so I included it in the next beta which is now available here: https://github.com/mikey242/kudos-donations/releases

I’ll mark this thread as resolved for now, but please feel free to reply with any more suggestions or feedback.

Thanks again!
Mike

Hi Thomas,

There are lot’s of different types of caching that you can use (OPcache, Object, Asset, Page caching). Bugs can occur but this is expected by the caching plugins which generally include many options to tweak it for your specific setup.

Let me know which plugin and settings you are planning to use and I can take a look when I have some time to let you know. Otherwise the best way to ensure it is all working is to just test it as a non-logged-in user since many of these plugins work differently depending on whether you are logged-in or not.

There will probably be at least another beta before the final update so I recommend updating to the latest beta for now.

Kind regards,
Mike
