<p>OnyxFlo Watchdog quietly monitors your WooCommerce orders in the background and takes snapshots at key points in the order lifecycle (checkout, thank you page, and status changes). It then compares those snapshots to detect suspicious changes or data inconsistencies.</p>
<p>OnyxFlo Watchdog uses a lightweight custom database table (<code>{prefix}onyxflo_watchdog_snapshots</code>) to store order snapshots. Uninstalling the plugin does not automatically delete existing snapshot data, so you can retain a historical audit log if needed.</p>
<p>Examples of what OnyxFlo Watchdog can help catch:</p>
<ul>
<li>Orders where the cart or subtotal has changed between checkout and payment.</li>
<li>Orders that have been modified after payment but before fulfillment.</li>
<li>Data mismatches caused by buggy plugins, imports, or external integrations.</li>
</ul>
<p>When a potential issue is found:</p>
<ul>
<li>The order is changed to a custom status: <strong>Watchdog Flagged</strong>.</li>
<li>A clear warning notice appears on the order screen in wp-admin.</li>
<li>(Optional) An email alert can be sent to a configured address.</li>
<li>A snapshot history is stored so you can see what changed and when.</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is aimed at stores that care about data integrity and want an extra layer of safety before orders are shipped or refunded.</p>

<p>DockTHOR integrates WordPress with the THOR monitoring platform and automatically reports PHP errors and uncaught exceptions.</p>
<p>The plugin is designed to work silently in the background and has no admin interface. After installation you only need to configure your THOR project credentials.</p>
<h3>Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Automatic reporting of PHP errors and uncaught exceptions</li>
<li>Support for custom error filtering</li>
<li>Optional user context information</li>
<li>Customizable configuration via WordPress constants and filters</li>
<li>Minimal performance overhead</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is intended for developers and teams who want to monitor errors occurring in WordPress installations.</p>
<p>Installation</p>
<ol>
<li>Upload the plugin files to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/dockthor</code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the <strong>Plugins</strong> menu in WordPress.</li>
<li>Configure your THOR credentials in <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Example configuration:<br />
    <code>php<br />
define( 'DOCK_THOR_TOKEN', 'YOUR_THOR_TOKEN' );<br />
define( 'DOCK_THOR_PRIVATE_KEY', 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY' );</code><br />
Once configured, the plugin will automatically begin reporting PHP errors.</p>
<p>Configuration</p>
<p>Add the following constants to your <code>wp-config.php</code> file.</p>
<h3>DockTHOR Token</h3>
<p><code>php<br />
define( 'DOCK_THOR_TOKEN', 'YOUR_THOR_TOKEN' );<br />
    `<h3>Private Key</h3></code>php<br />
define( ‘DOCK_THOR_PRIVATE_KEY’, ‘YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY’ );<br />
    `</p>
<h3>Error Types (optional)</h3>
<p>“`php<br />
define( ‘DOCK_THOR_ERROR_TYPES’, E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_USER_DEPRECATED );<br />
    <code>Define which PHP errors should be captured.<h3>Send Default PII (optional)</h3><br />
If enabled, additional context such as the logged-in user and IP address will be attached to the event.</code>php<br />
define( ‘DOCK_THOR_SEND_DEFAULT_PII’, true );<br />
    <code><h3>Site Version (optional)</h3><br />
Define the version of your website. This can help track which version of the site generated an error.</code>php<br />
define( ‘DOCK_THOR_VERSION’, ‘v1.0.0’ );<br />
    <code><h3>Environment (optional)</h3><br />
Define the current environment.</code>php<br />
define( ‘DOCK_THOR_ENV’, ‘production’ );<br />
    `</p>
<p>Filters</p>
<p>DockTHOR provides several filters that allow developers to customize behavior.</p>
<h3>dock_thor_user_context</h3>
<p>Allows extending the user context sent to THOR.</p>
<p>Example:<br />
    <code>php<br />
add_filter( 'dock_thor_user_context', function ( array $user ) {<br />
    return array_merge( $user, ['custom_meta' => 'value'] );<br />
});</code></p>
<p>Note: These values may be exposed publicly when used in JavaScript trackers.</p>
<h3>dock_thor_token</h3>
<p>Allows overriding the THOR token.</p>
<p>Example:<br />
    <code>php<br />
add_filter( 'dock_thor_token', function ( $token ) {<br />
    return 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';<br />
});</code><br />
Using the <code>DOCK_THOR_TOKEN</code> constant is recommended instead.</p>
<h3>dock_thor_scope</h3>
<p>Allows modifying the THOR scope before events are sent.</p>
<p>Example:<br />
    <code>php<br />
add_filter( 'dock_thor_scope', function ( \Dock\Thor\State\Scope $scope ) {<br />
    $scope->setTag('custom-tag', 'value');<br />
    return $scope;<br />
});</code></p>
<h3>dock_thor_options</h3>
<p>Allows customizing THOR SDK options.</p>
<p>Example:<br />
    <code>php<br />
add_filter( 'dock_thor_options', function ( \Dock\Thor\Options $options ) {<br />
    $options->setSampleRate(0.9);<br />
    return $options;<br />
});</code></p>
<p>Advanced Usage</p>
<h3>High volume of notices</h3>
<p>Some plugins generate large amounts of PHP notices. You can filter them out:<br />
    <code>php<br />
define( 'DOCK_THOR_ERROR_TYPES', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );</code></p>
<h3>Capturing handled exceptions</h3>
<p>If you want to report handled exceptions:<br />
    <code>php<br />
try {<br />
    myMethodThatCanThrowAnException();<br />
} catch ( \Exception $e ) {<br />
    if ( function_exists( 'dock_thor_safe' ) ) {<br />
        dock_thor_safe( function ( \Dock\Thor\State\HubInterface $client ) use ( $e ) {<br />
            $client->captureException( $e );<br />
        });<br />
    }<br />
    wp_die( 'An error occurred.' );<br />
}</code></p>
