limit title name number of caracters

if I want to limit to 29 caracters do you think the following will work?

function max_title_length( $title, $max ) {
if( strlen( $title ) > $max ) {
return substr( $title, 0, $max ). ” …”;
} else {
return $title;
}
}

add_filter(‘wc_ppcp_get_order_item’, function($item, $order_item){
$item->setName($order_item->max_title_length(get_name(),29));
return $item;
}, 10, 2);

thank you in advance

in the scenario I would rather change the title name by the sku, would the following work, I tried to adapt from here https://gist.github.com/InpsydeNiklas/bebf38d610dd3d928412c5ecde4925ee

add_filter('ppcp_create_order_request_body_data', function (array $data): array {
    foreach ($data['purchase_units'] as $index => $purchase_unit) {
        // extract order number from custom_id
        $order_number = isset($purchase_unit['custom_id']) ? $purchase_unit['custom_id'] : 'N/A';

        foreach ($purchase_unit['items'] as $item_index => $item) {
            $data['purchase_units'][$index]['items'][$item_index]['name'] = $data['purchase_units'][$index]['items'][$item_index]['sku'];
        }
    }
    return $data;
});

add_filter('ppcp_patch_order_request_body_data', function (array $patches_array): array {
    foreach ($patches_array as $patch_index => $patch) {
        if (isset($patch['value']['items'])) {
            // extract order number from custom_id
            $order_number = isset($patch['value']['custom_id']) ? $patch['value']['custom_id'] : 'N/A';

                unset($patches_array[$patch_index]['value']['items'][$item_index]['sku']);
                $patches_array[$patch_index]['value']['items'][$item_index]['name'] = $patches_array[$patch_index]['value']['items'][$item_index]['sku'];
            }
        }
    }
    return $patches_array;
});

thank you in advance

Hello @steffykristiensen

I didn’t test your filter; instead, I created my own. For testing purposes, I made a product named “1234567890,1234567890,1234567890,1234567890” which consists of 40 digits and 3 commas. I applied my filter to this product, and it successfully met the PayPal order details constraints as intended.

Order details title is limited to 29 characters.

function limit_title_name_length( $patches_array ) {
    // Check if the 'shipping' key exists within the first element of $patches_array
    if ( isset( $patches_array[0]['value']['shipping']['name']['full_name'] ) ) {
        $original_full_name = $patches_array[0]['value']['shipping']['name']['full_name'];
        
        // Limit the 'full_name' to 29 characters if it's longer
        if (strlen($original_full_name) > 29) {
            $patches_array[0]['value']['shipping']['name']['full_name'] = substr($original_full_name, 0, 29);
        }
    }

    // Also ensure to limit each item's name to 29 characters
    if ( isset( $patches_array[0]['value']['items'] ) && is_array($patches_array[0]['value']['items']) ) {
        foreach ($patches_array[0]['value']['items'] as $key => $item) {
            if (strlen($item['name']) > 29) {
                $patches_array[0]['value']['items'][$key]['name'] = substr($item['name'], 0, 29);
            }
        }
    }

    return $patches_array;
}
add_filter( 'ppcp_patch_order_request_body_data', 'limit_title_name_length', 10 );

Keep in mind that this function is primarily designed to accommodate your needs, so feel free to modify it as necessary, but it should work as requested.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance!

Hi Krystian

Thank you very very much for your kind assistance…

I will review your code to learn from it and see how it is different with what I came with..

Thank you again

what about the part to replace the name by the sku? is my adaptation of your code correct?

thank you very much in advance

Hello?@steffykristiensen

Please provide all the specific details and requirements for your order details (besides this one with 29 characters limit), and we’ll try to share some examples.

what about the part to replace the name by the sku? is my adaptation of your code correct?

I recommend checking everything first with a sandbox account to ensure it works properly, just as I did during my preliminary tests.

Kind regards,
Krystian

Hi Krystian,

thanks again for your help, on this one I don’t try to shorten the name but to replace it by the sku

here is the code I have modified

add_filter('ppcp_create_order_request_body_data', function (array $data): array {
    foreach ($data['purchase_units'] as $index => $purchase_unit) {
        // extract order number from custom_id
        $order_number = isset($purchase_unit['custom_id']) ? $purchase_unit['custom_id'] : 'N/A';

        foreach ($purchase_unit['items'] as $item_index => $item) {
            $data['purchase_units'][$index]['items'][$item_index]['name'] = $data['purchase_units'][$index]['items'][$item_index]['sku'];
        }
    }
    return $data;
});

add_filter('ppcp_patch_order_request_body_data', function (array $patches_array): array {
    foreach ($patches_array as $patch_index => $patch) {
        if (isset($patch['value']['items'])) {
            // extract order number from custom_id
            $order_number = isset($patch['value']['custom_id']) ? $patch['value']['custom_id'] : 'N/A';

                unset($patches_array[$patch_index]['value']['items'][$item_index]['sku']);
                $patches_array[$patch_index]['value']['items'][$item_index]['name'] = $patches_array[$patch_index]['value']['items'][$item_index]['sku'];
            }
        }
    }
    return $patches_array;
});

is it possible to have a sand box account used only for admin? my problem is the site is live, what would be the best for test purpose on paypal?

thank you again

Steffy

Hello?@steffykristiensen

On my end, your version triggered a syntax error.

This is a code review from openAI. When I used the version corrected by GPT it worked as intended:

PayPal order details:

Product details:

No, this scenario is not possible. Setting up a staging site is the best practice for testing new code changes without affecting your live environment.

Kind regards,
Krystian

Hi Krystian

Thank you again for your support, the 29 character worked like a charm

I will try to set up a staging site and test the sku version.. did not thought of using chatgpt for testing that

thank you again, have a good day

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad that that filter worked perfectly for you. Please feel free to reach out if you need any more help.

Have a great weekend too!
