Time Slot timestamp does not adjust for site timezone

Hi @imconfused4sure,

Currently, it’s not possible to set the timezone in the plugin. The plugin will consider WordPress Local Timezone. However, I’m escalating this as an enhancement to our development team so that they will see if they can give a setting or filter in the plugin to set a timezone.

Thank you for sharing the solution as well as suggestions here.

Thanks for the escalation. And no, the plugin does not currently consider WordPress Local Timezone when storing the time slot in the database. It always saves it as UTC 0.

Oh, then can you create the ticket here on our support tool so that we can check it?

After some discussion with the support team, they are updating an action hook to include the $order_id and this is the resulting hook I came up with. This is mostly a modification of their code that I copied and pasted.

add_action('orddd_after_timeslot_update', 'action_orddd_after_timeslot_update', 10, 2);

/**
 * Sets _orddd_lite_timeslot_timestamp time zone to the time zone setting in the WordPress Admin
 * Settings instead of the default UTC-0.
 * @param string $time_slot Delivery time slot.
 * @param int    $order_id  Order ID to update post meta.
 */
function action_orddd_after_timeslot_update($time_slot, $order_id)
{
    if (empty($time_slot) || !isset($_POST['h_deliverydate'])) {
        return;
    }
    $h_deliverydate = $_POST['h_deliverydate'];

    if (!in_array($time_slot, ['asap', 'choose', 'NA', 'select'], true)) {
        $order_time_slot = $time_slot;
        $time_format     = get_option('orddd_lite_delivery_time_format');
        $time_slot_arr   = explode(' - ',$time_slot);

        $from_time = date('H:i',strtotime($time_slot_arr[0])); //phpcs:ignore

        $delivery_date = $h_deliverydate.' '.$from_time;
        $timestamp = new DateTime($delivery_date, new DateTimeZone(wp_timezone_string()));

        update_post_meta($order_id, '_orddd_lite_timeslot_timestamp', $timestamp->format('U'));
    }
}

Hi @imconfused4sure,

Thank you so much for sharing the solution here. It would be helpful to others.

@imconfused4sure, thanks for sharing the code. We will be adding the hook in the next update as that will be helpful to others. I’ll mark this thread as resolved since this is good to go.

@oluisrael @tychesoftwares When is this getting added to the plugin? It still isn’t there.

Thanks,
Carl

Hey @imconfused4sure, we’re yet to roll out an update, but rest assured that we will add this to the next update rollout.

Thank you for being so understanding.
