Delivery date on packing slip

Thanks for the compliments! Yes, you should be able to get the delivery date on the invoice. This is probably stored as a custom field, more information about getting custom fields is in our documentation: Displaying a custom field.
If you’re not sure of the field name for this custom field, check out this guide: Finding WooCommerce Custom Fields

It’s possible that the YITH plugin stores it as a ‘timestamp’, which means that you may need to convert it to a human readable format before displaying, and it’s also possible that the developers have added some shorthand functions that you can use to display the date in the correct format, so I do recommend to contact YITH with this question too. If you refer them to the above link, they should certainly be able to help.

Good luck & happy selling!

Hi Ewout,

Thanks a bunch! I will try this our ??

Have a great day.

Awesome, added the extra field in the functions.php file and works like a charm. 10/10 for you!

Thanks! If you can spare a minute, I’d really appreciate a review here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/reviews/#new-post

Happy selling and have a fantastic day!

Hello Guys,

I’m also using the YITh delivery date plugin and also want to add the delivery date to the invoice. I tried to add the following code to my template-functions.php:

add_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_order_data', 'wpo_wcpdf_delivery_date', 10, 2 );
function wpo_wcpdf_delivery_date ($template_type, $order) {
    if ($template_type == 'packing-slip') {
        $document = wcpdf_get_document( $template_type, $order );
        ?>
         
<tr class="delivery-date">
             
<th>Delivery Date:</th>
 
             
<td><?php $document->custom_field('ywcdd_order_delivery_date'); ?></td>
 
        </tr>
 
        <?php
    }
}

However the delivery date is not being added with the invoice. Can you guys help me?

Thanks!

Hi @northbase,

You wrapped the whole function in an if statement that checks if the template type is ‘packing slip’.

Turn

if ($template_type == 'packing-slip') {

into

if ($template_type == 'invoice') {

and you should be good to go!

Hi @kluver,

Thanks for the reply.

I changed the code but it’s not working yet…
Do i also need to add some code in de invoice.php file?

Thanks!

No, you shouldn’t need to change anything in invoice.php. Perhaps try Code Snippets instead of template-functions.php (to make sure it’s applied correctly), that also makes your changes independent of plugin/template updates (so you can switch back to the Simple template again).
Here’s an example without the document check altogether:

add_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_order_data', 'wpo_wcpdf_delivery_date', 10, 2 );
function wpo_wcpdf_delivery_date ($template_type, $order) {
    $document = wcpdf_get_document( $template_type, $order );
    ?>      
    <tr class="delivery-date">
        <th>Delivery Date:</th>
        <td><?php $document->custom_field('ywcdd_order_delivery_date'); ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php
}

Thanks Ewout it’s working!
Only the date format is not correct. now it is 2018-11-17 but it needs to be 17-11-2018.
Is this possible?

Thanks

Yes, that’s possible. Change this line:

<td><?php $document->custom_field('ywcdd_order_delivery_date'); ?></td>

to:

<td><?php echo date_i18n( 'd-m-Y', $document->get_custom_field('ywcdd_order_delivery_date') ); ?></td>

Hello,

I have the same problem, I have used following code and it’s resolved:

add_action( ‘wpo_wcpdf_after_order_data’, ‘wpo_wcpdf_delivery_date’, 10, 2 );
function wpo_wcpdf_delivery_date ($template_type, $order) {
$document = wcpdf_get_document( $template_type, $order );
?>
<tr class=”delivery-date”>
<th>Delivery Date:</th>
<td><?php echo date_i18n( ‘d-m-Y’, $document->get_custom_field(‘ywcdd_order_delivery_date’) ); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}

But now, I am getting following error:
