>We need a printer that works with http …
well, that’s got nothing to do with SMS at all then…oh well.
if you have a printer that connects to the net, you can do all sorts of other things (cloudprinting etc)>It is possible I can write you an e-mail …
probably the best idea. no need for those kind of conversations to fill up stuff here as it won’t really help anyone
=> dev[at].wp-pizza.comHi Lars,
somewhat I think Robert has fallen off the face of the planet (at least I don’t know of anyone who got a reply)
in any case, what exactly do you need it to do? Just send an SMS to a printer when an order gets received or some sort of 2-way “conversation” with a customer ?
reason why I am asking is that I do have a working version here, but it’s not yet as complete as I would like it to be.
However, if you are prepared to be a bit of a guinea pig I wouldn’t mind doing a bit of testing with your SMS printer (as I do not have or indeed need one) and get some feedback as to what it looks like for starters (in return you’d get the plugin naturally)having said that , as there will always be carrier costs involved, what I have here utilises the tm4b (tm4b.com) sms gateway.
not sure if the prices they charge would be suitable for you .
what country are you in ?if i am guessing correctly and you are in Denmark, they charge 0.04 GBP per/sms . Don’t know if that is a competitive/acceptable price where you are though…
Hi
a couple of things.
at the moment, other than crediting the customer back from from within the epay.dk inteface – although I suspect that’s not what you are after – that is not implemented
having said that, looking at the epay.dk API, this does not seem too difficult to do
I am however not quite sure under what circumstances you would want to reject an order that has been paid for. Would you mind elaborating so I can understand the purpose of this ?
thanks
hooray :)
>seems to be a little confusion with your previous reply
yeah, i think i confused myself there …no (for the moment at least), unless you edit the plugin directly.
thing is, that unless you have a slow server or paypal takes longer than normal (as it does sometimes admittedly) one would/should not ever or rarely actually be seeing that page, so i did not want to confuse the issue in having yet more things to deal with.
having said that, the paypal gateway is by far the oldest gateway in existence for wppizza.
most others actually have this setting available these days.one day I will change a bunch of things in there to bring it more in line with those (and make it less convoluted)
as about 95%+ of any issue that arise with any gateways are paypal related (and many times their end), i am just happy when it works as it is.
so for the moment, you’ll have to live with this I’m afraid (but as i said: more often than not noone actually should see that page)
i cant see you having updated it …
fixed (a simple missing . (dot) i accidentally took out in 2.1.7.4 )
>Only box for entering text is the “Text to display when order is cancelled”
you are right, that has moved into the main plugin (for consistency – as it’s the same for all/most gateways)
i’ll do some tests locally (i assume the problem is in conjunction with that SEO plugin again)
will get back to you – but not before tomorrow/sunday probablyThis reply has been marked as private.This reply has been marked as private.thats what it does ?! ( but i’ll double check with the SEO thing you have installed)
it’s not an image but the message you can set in the gateway settings (something like “processing etc etc)in a way with this:
https://support.wp-pizza.com/downloads/wppizza-add-ingredients/
have a look at some examples here:
https://support.wp-pizza.com/twentytwelve/our-menu/user/btw (and then I promise i shut up :)):
you will also break any other plugin that relies on their transients expiring at a specific time.
(sure, one could code around that, but why spend the time/effort if there’s a perfectly viable solution/setting that should be set )to explain how transients work:
they are set in seconds from now based on the current *server* time (not wordpress time/timezone)so, if – according to your wordpress install – it’s 4PM and I want to expire it in 1 hour (at 5PM), I will just set the transient to expire in 3600 seconds.
if the *server* time is 10PM it won’t expire at 5PM but at 11PM .
if the server time is the same as your wordpress timezone, everything is hunkydorythere is just not any good reason ever , why this should not be settable on a per site basis. (and if your host doesnt allow you to, get a another one)
PS: I do actually think WP could take account of this, alas, it doesnt (then again it would be reasonable to expect that the php settings are correct to start off with)
and now i really stop :)
> i’d suggest maybe a button to pickup and on the dropdown the postal areas only – I believe this maybe more obvious
that was my idea too :)
yeah sure, which is probably why php throws this warning (as it does on your server) when it isnt set
Warning: phpinfo(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone ‘UTC’ for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone.
> since viewers may be anywhere in the world.
so what ? the server isn’t !!
anyway, I am not going to argue that point any further, life’s to short
>re: Some customers may get confused as they can’t choose collection.
as mentioned, I agree with you there (and there should be an option to select “self-pickup”
>re: When testing on a Microsoft Surface 2 I get this error (and it only happens on this device)
I am assuming we are talking about https://www.mahersyedali.co.uk herea) i tried this on a variety of different browsers, opera , chrome, firefox, ie 8-11, on mobiles as well as on desktops. none throw an error (on the page that is).
b) when you get that error , do you get any errors in the console (as it’s an MS thing, I supposee you have to press F12 and then click on console to see what it says – let me know if there’s anything that might throw a light on this).
c) also, check if you get anything in your debug log.
d) However, before you even do any of this, fix your errors.
you are mixing secure with nonsecure content (not always crucial, but certainly a good idea to fix) as well and have unclosed element tags (read invalid html, which can/could break a ton of things)e) you also want to check your debug log. the PHP NOTICE errors are not that vital (and can be ignored for the time being ) however , your database errors are certainly not good (to say the least).
(i did notice that there are some wppizza notices in there too. although – as mentioned – notices are pretty inconsequential, i will fix those too (provided they are not caused by something else of course)as for everything else, i believe I already addressed this above
PS: generally speaking, there are a couple of improvements that can certainly be made (as always), and I will bear those in mind and do something about them as soon as i get the chance.
I believe though that your particular idea/suggestion is not the best way to go about it
then again, that would be my job anyway, so the essence of your post is certainly something to considerif you do this (in no particular order):
a) you have just blocked every single searchengine on the planet from indexing that page (they don’t do javascript so will never click on things and therefore never get past that content – but also see g) – which would get around that )
b) if you have more than one page with menu items and you only what that sort if thing on your main menu (i.e “order online”)page, it would be pretty pointless, as many/most people that come to your site from searchengines would never get to see it in the first place
c) you cannot cache that page – ever (you might not want to , but just saying)
d)>re: but how would I set where the link goes via css.
you do not / cannot change links via css (that’s not what css is)e)>:re I know you already have this in a shortcode
I do ? not that I know of. (but maybe I am not following)f)re: I want to do this because on some devices I have tried the website on popups can be a bit troublesome
sorry, but I somewhat dispute that unless you have a slow server to start off with or there are other things wrong. (but see g) below as well)
having said that, of course I’m not perfect, so if you can show me what is apparently troublesome, I’d be happy to investigate.g) re:I want the delivery/collection choice to be made before ordering ideally.
that’s why there is the option of the popup (i assume we are talking about the delivery by postcode extension here)
instead of having a popup, one could however replace the *contents* of the page entirely dynamically, rather than having a popup – i’ll investigate , but no ETAh) i furthermore agree , that there is a case that can be made for having an option in the dropdown/selection that offers “i will pick up the order myself” or some such thing
(in fact, I am somewhat surprised no-one ever mentioned this before)>If it is mandatory to have it on the page…
put the cart on the page and set the display/css to none.
and then i suppose use
[wppizza type=’totals’]
