WooCommerce Subscription Shortcodes

Experimental extension providing a few shortcodes that you can use to add details about the subscription product where you want them to be. Either to be used in a custom theme for your single product pages or use them to blog about a product you are selling.

These shortcodes are compaitable with WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things currently in development.

Guide

Requirements

In order to use the extension, you will need:

• WooCommerce 2.3 or newer.
• WooCommerce Subscriptions v2.0 or newer.
• A staging or test site, I do not recommend using this on live sites yet.
• A sense of adventure as the codebase is still beta.

Installation

To install the Subscription Shortcodes:

1. Download the latest version of the plugin here
2. Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload administration screen on your WordPress site
3. Select the ZIP file you just downloaded
4. Click Install Now
5. Click Activate

After installation, you can use the shortcodes listed below.

Shortcode Usage

Simply insert the shortcode you wish to use on the product page or blog post or even a standard page. If you use the shortcode outside of the product page then you will need to add the product ID attribute or the sku ID attribute.

Example: [subscription_price id="123"] or [subscription_price sku="123"]

This shortcode string ending can also be filtered using this filter. wcs_shortcodes_sub_discount_string.

Other Notes

In order to show details for sign up fee, trial length and trial period of a product using WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things you will need to also have WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things - Sign-up and Trial Add-on installed.

Filters

Product Support

Developers can add support for a product type by filtering it in. By default, only subscription and subscription-variation are supported.

If you have WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things mini-extension installed then support for all the product types the extension supports is automatically applied.

Below is an example on how you can filter the supported product types yourself should you need to.

/**
 * Add product support for a new product type.
 *
 * @param array $product_types
 * @return array
 */
function add_sub_shortcode_product_support( $product_types ) {
	$product_types[] = 'mix-and-match';

	return $product_types;
}
add_filter( 'wcss_product_types', 'add_sub_shortcode_product_support', 10, 1 );

Date Format

You can filter the date format for [subscription_first_payment] to how you wish to display it such as changing the order of the day, month and year.

Below is an example on how you can filter the date format for UK.

/**
 * Filters the date format for UK display for the first payment subscription shortcode.
 *
 * @param  string $date_format
 * @param  array  $atts
 * @return string
 */
function wcss_first_payment_date_format_uk( $date_format, $atts ) {
	if ( $atts['show_time'] ) {
		if ( 'timestamp' == $atts['format'] ) {
			$date_format = 'd-m-Y H:i:s';
		}
	} else {
		if ( 'timestamp' == $atts['format'] ) {
			$date_format = 'd-m-Y';
		}
	}

	return $date_format;
} // END first_payment_date_format()
add_filter( 'wcss_first_payment_date_format', wcss_first_payment_date_format_uk, 10, 2 );
