Dynamic Visibility - Triggers - Custom Condition
Updated over 2 months ago

Our technical support does not provide customized code. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and should be adapted and tested by a developer before being implemented in a production environment.

The Custom Condition feature in the Dynamic Visibility extension allows you to manage complex situations with custom PHP code.

Your code must return a boolean value to add a custom condition to Dynamic Visibility. This condition will determine the element's visibility based on the display mode set ("Hide" or "Show" the element when the condition is triggered).

Code Examples

Here are some examples of how you might use the Custom Condition:

Check if the Current Post is in an Array of IDs:

$allowed_posts = [1, 21, 37, 46, 55]; 
return in_array(get_the_ID(), $allowed_posts);

Check Multiple Post Metadata Values:

$metakey1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'metakey1', true); 
$metakey2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'metakey2', true);

return ($metakey1 == 'value1' && $metakey2 == 'value2');

Check Number of Comments in a Post:

return get_comments_number(get_the_ID()) > 10;

Check if the Post was Recently Published (Last Week):

return (time() - get_post_time('U', true, get_the_ID()) < WEEK_IN_SECONDS);

Check if the Post Belongs to a Specific Post Type:

return get_post_type(get_the_ID()) === 'my_post_type';

Check User's Role on an Integrated Forum (e.g., bbPress):

return bbp_get_user_role(get_current_user_id()) === 'bbp_keymaster';

Check if the User Has Purchased a Specific Product:

$purchased_product_ids = wc_get_customer_bought_products(get_current_user_id()); 

return in_array('specific_product_id', $purchased_product_ids);

Verify User's Total Spend is Over a Certain Amount:

$customer_orders = wc_get_orders(['customer_id' => get_current_user_id()]);

$total_spent = array_sum(array_map(function ($order) { return $order->get_total(); }, $customer_orders));

return $total_spent > 500; // Change 500 to your desired amount

Check if Cart Total Exceeds a Certain Value:

return WC()->cart->total > 100; // Change 100 to your desired cart total

Verify if a Specific Product is in the Cart:

$product_id = 25; // Change 25 to your desired product ID to check

return WC()->cart->find_product_in_cart(WC()->cart->generate_cart_id($product_id)) !== false;

Determine if the Cart Has More Than a Certain Number of Items:

return WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() > 5; // Change 5 to your desired number of items

Verify if the User's Last Order was Above a Certain Amount:

$last_order = wc_get_customer_last_order(get_current_user_id()); 
return $last_order && $last_order->get_total() > 200; // Change 200 to your desired amount

You Don't Need to Use a Function, but If You Do, It Must Be Called

When creating a Custom Condition for Dynamic Visibility, writing a function is unnecessary. You can write code that directly returns true or false.

However, if you use a function, call it correctly. Otherwise, it will not produce any result.

Example of Incorrect Behavior

function check_condition() { 
// Code that checks something
}

In this example, the function is not called, so it does not return a boolean value (true or false), making the custom condition ineffective.

Example of Correct Behavior Without a Function

return get_comments_number(get_the_ID()) > 10;

Here, the code directly checks if the number of comments is greater than 10 and returns the result without the need for a function.

Example of Correct Behavior with a Function

return check_condition(); 

function check_condition() {
// Code that checks a condition
return get_comments_number(get_the_ID()) > 10;
}

In this example, the function is called correctly and returns a boolean value, ensuring the condition works as expected.
