Dispatch Countdown

Specify a time to show (and start) the count down, and an end time to count down to.

Ideal for displaying a message such as “For same day dispatch, order within 1h 37m”.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/dispatch-countdown directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
3. Use the WooCommerce->Settings->Product Settings->Dispatch Countdown screen to configure the plugin

How do I move the countdown?

The countdown must be called at a point where global $product is available, so
make sure to call this plugin after WooCommerce has loaded. To move the
countdown, you can remove the action and then add it back wherever you want:

/**
 * Move dispatch countdown
 */
function your_theme_move_dispatch_countdown() {
    // Check the class exists
    if ( ! class_exists( 'Dispatch_Countdown' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    // Get the current instance
    $dispatch_countdown = Dispatch_Countdown::get_public_instance();

    // Remove the action
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', array( $dispatch_countdown, 'display_countdown' ) );

    // Add the action back where you like
    add_action( 'your_theme_before_main_container', array( $dispatch_countdown, 'display_countdown' ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'your_theme_move_dispatch_countdown' );

Replacing your_theme_before_main_container with whichever hook you wish

How do I change the HTML output?

There are a few filters available to override certain parts of the output. The
main filter is dispatch_countdown_content and can be used as follows:

/**
 * Change countdown HTML output
 *
 * NOTE: You must include an element with the id of dispatch-countdown__time`

* as javascript uses this to update the countdown.
*/
function your_theme_dispatch_countdown_content ( $html, $wording, $product, $countdown ) {
// Add the wording
$countdown_html = esc_html( $wording );
// Add the element for js to update – be sure to include the product ID as shown
$countdown_html .= ‘ ‘;
// Add the countdown text
$countdown_html .= esc_html( $countdown );
// Close the countdown element
$countdown_html .= ”;

return $countdown_html;

}
add_filter( ‘dispatch_countdown_content’, ‘your_theme_dispatch_countdown_content’, 10, 4 );`
