When active, the Timeline Express – Date – Time Add-On will hide the default announcement date field, and generate a date and time field for you to use.
Multiple announcements that have the same date & time will fallback to use the published date to dictate order on the timeline.
<h3>Developers</h3>
Filters: 
timeline_express_date_time_formats – Add your own date formats to the announcement.
Example:
<pre>
/**
 * Assign a custom date format to the announcements.
 *
 * @param array $date_formats The original date formats array.
 */
function timeline_express_demo_custom_date_format( $date_formats ) {

 $date_formats['custom'] = 'Y-m-d'; // eg: 2018-10-02

}
add_filter( 'timeline_express_date_time_formats', 'timeline_express_demo_custom_date_format' );
</pre>
timeline_express_date_time_query_args – Filter the query run for the date time add-on.
Example:
<pre>
/**
 * Filter the announcement date time add-on query.
 * Fall back to post titles instead of published date when announcements contain the same date-time values.
 *
 * @param array $query_args The original date time add-on query arguments.
 */
function timeline_express_demo_filter_query_args( $query_args ) {

 unset( $query_args['orderby'] );

 $query_args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num title';

 return $query_args;

}
add_filter( 'timeline_express_date_time_query_args', 'timeline_express_demo_filter_query_args' );
</pre>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
The Swoove WooCommerce plugin seamlessly integrates with your store to manage shipping during the checkout process and order handling. Here’s how it works:
<ol>
<li>
Customer Checkout
<ul>
<li>When a customer adds products to their cart and proceeds to checkout, they’ll see the Swoove shipping option as part of the available shipping methods.</li>
<li>The shipping cost is dynamically calculated based on the shop location, destination, and other parameters configured in your Swoove settings.</li>
<li>The customer selects the Swoove shipping method, and the shipping cost is added to their order total.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Order Placement
<ul>
<li>Once the customer places an order, WooCommerce processes it, and the order appears in the Orders page in your WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li>For the Swoove plugin to create a delivery request, the order must be in the Processing stage. Ensure the order status is updated accordingly.</li>
<li>To trigger the delivery creation manually:
<ul>
<li>Open the Orders page in WooCommerce.</li>
<li>Click on Screen Options in the top-right corner of the page.</li>
<li>Enable the Actions column by checking the corresponding box.</li>
<li>This will reveal an “Action” button next to each order.</li>
<li>Click on the “Create Delivery” button to send the order details to Swoove for processing.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When the delivery is triggered:
<ul>
<li>The plugin communicates with the Swoove API to create a delivery request that includes customer details, order items, and delivery instructions.</li>
<li>The request is processed depending on the environment settings:</li>
<li>Test Environment: Simulated delivery request for testing purposes.</li>
<li>Live Environment: Real delivery request sent to Swoove, assigned to a rider.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Order Management
<ul>
<li>In the WooCommerce Orders page:
<ul>
<li>You can view the order’s shipping details, including the Swoove delivery status, delivery code, secret code and tracking link</li>
<li>Order statuses are updated automatically based on real-time updates from Swoove (e.g., “Out for Delivery,” “Delivered”).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Callback functionality ensures the plugin receives and updates order statuses in WooCommerce without manual intervention.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Customer Notification
<ul>
<li>Customers receive order confirmation emails with the delivery details.</li>
<li>They can track their delivery status using the provided tracking link.</li>
<li>Customers can either share the secret code with the rider or use it to confirm delivery or sign to confirm delivery.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Delivery Completion
<ul>
<li>The Swoove rider completes the delivery, and the final status is updated in WooCommerce.</li>
<li>You can review completed orders in the WooCommerce admin panel and track delivery analytics via the Swoove Business Panel.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
Notes 
– Configure your shop location, environment (test/live), Swoove API key, and Google Maps API key in the Swoove plugin settings.
