>I don’t want to buy it and then realise it can’t do what I need.
I completely understand and applaud you for asking the question first.
I’ll get back to you soon with a few “known issues” (i’ll need to write now actually so people understand the possible limitations) and have a think if your scenario would actually be “doable”

just give me a bit of time

thanks

> I had to downgrade in some webpages because of this
you can do that of course, but I’d be interested to hear why a “asap” option is of any benefit to a shop bearing in mind what i said above about what – apparently – customers think “asap” means as opposed to what it means to a shop when you are actually closed – which of course is the main reason for using the plugin, i.e pre-order at a time when the shop is closed for a time when the shop is open again (or of course days in advance if set up that way)

> But users coul not select a time outside of openung hours — so why is that a failure..?

they still cant. but – as outlined – they were able to select “asap” *outside* of the shops opening hours – after all that’s one of the reasons for using the plugin to start off with – and assumed (as people just don’t read things) it meant “in the next half an hour or so” – even if the shop was closed for the next 14 hours – or even days – or something, so then complained if they paid but didn’t get their stuff in 30 minutes or whatever.

now , they *have to actively* choose a timeslot so the ambiguity of “i said ‘asap’, but didnt know ‘asap’ means tomorrow when the shop is open again is eliminated…

in reality, “asap” means different things to whatever side of the table you are sitting at
for the customer, in many cases, it means “preferably now, but i can deal with it if it takes 1/2 hour or so”
for the shop it means, “i will do what i can, but if i’m closed i’ll do this asap when i’m open again” (naturally the shop cant do things when its shut)

>that the function is not more anymore
that is correct – it clearly says so in the changelog.

the reason why it’s removed is because too many people reported that customers selected “asap” outside of opening hours and then complained when the order did not arrive within 30 minutes or so (obviously, because the shop was closed)

so now – outside opening hours – people have to actively select an available timeslot.
during opening hours, the next available timeslot is automatically selected , or – optionally – you can also set it to force the customer to select a timeslot *during* your opening hours

that said, maybe there’s a way to bring back the “asap” at least during your actual opening hours, i’ll see what happens when i try to do something like that (though it will be somewhat different probably )

>after computer switch on

but that’s exactly what we are trying to avoid to have to do as this sort of thing already exists in multiple forms (see discussions in the link i posted above)

you need to speak to your printer manufacturer. i know nothing about your printer

actually , looking at your site , you are not using wppizza 3.12.1 , but 3.7.1 ,
if you have enabled “Order Sorting:” in the plugin , then that may well be the issue (i’ll have to add a note to th eplugin that this will only work from version xyz onwards)
let me know if switching that option off will let you view the order history again

Hi

in a nutshell: no, this will not work
all the plugin does is allow someone to order for a set timeslot (in 5, 10, 15 min …. etc steps) that is available during your opening hours

i.e when you are closed, it will offer the timeslots available when you are next open (or indeed a few days in advance – depending on settings)

if you are open, it displays the timeslots to choose from (so if you are open 24/7 it will display those up to a given number of days in advance )

unless you have different sites ( one from breakfast items , one for hotfood Wed-Sun etc ) it knows nothing about what you may or may not want to have available for ordering

in a way it’s kind of binary.
if you use it , timeslots during your opening hours – depending on your settings – will become available for a customer to choose from . that is pretty much it . it makes no distinction between any of your products

(Though there is a bit more granular control as to time in advance, preparation times, max orders per timeslot etc etc, but none of this applies to what I understand it is you want to achieve )

anything in your debug.log ?
how exactly do you mean “no longer available” ?
is there no link on the left hand side to it, or is it just a blank page or what exactly ?
perhaps you can post a screenshot too…..

does it work again if you disable those 2 plugins (which gateway by the way ?)
perhaps you can post a screenshot too…..

if it’s “just” a blank page, have you enabled debug and checked your debug.log ?
