Hi @emyeele and @pycckuu4ejl,
Please update the plugin to the latest v3.2.0. Now in “Frontend > Customer message” and “Frontend > Single product page” options, and in [alg_wc_mppu_current_product_limit]
and [alg_wc_mppu_term_limit]
shortcodes, you can use new placeholders listed below. Please note that all placeholders will not work when “Date range” is set to “Lifetime”. All placeholders get data for the first order in date range for the current product.
%first_order_date%
– order date,
%first_order_amount%
– order amount (e.g. quantity),
%first_order_date_exp%
– order expiration date,
%first_order_date_exp_timeleft%
– time left until order expiration date.
You will be probably most interested in %first_order_date_exp_timeleft%
.
When you confirm that it’s working properly, I’m going to add an option to make the countdown live (with JavaScript).
@emyeele: as for your initial question – “… how many more items the user has left to select/add to cart…” – I believe what you need is %remaining_minus_in_cart%
placeholder (currently it can be used in “Customer message” option only, but I’m going to add it to other options and shortcodes as well).
@pycckuu4ejl: I’ve also added a new position for the “Frontend > Single product page” option – “Text in product description” – which will add info to the product’s main description.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think.
