[Plugin: VoucherPress] display voucher including text?

This isn’t possible at the moment as the vouchers are only created at the time they are downloaded.

ah right ok. An update in a future release maybe? In the meantime do you know of any way around this so I can have the image of the voucher and then when the image is clicked it can be downloaded?

Hi Guys.. I wanted to do the same thing.. so i hacked the code a little by using a div…

Here is the code as it exists:

// process a shortcode for a voucher
function voucher_do_voucher_shortcode( $atts ) {
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'id' => '',
		'preview' => ''
	), $atts ) );
	if ( $id != "" ) {
		$voucher = voucherpress_get_voucher( $id );
		if ( $voucher && ( $voucher->expiry == "" || (int)$voucher->expiry == 0 || (int)$voucher->expiry > time() ) ) {
			if ( $preview == 'true' ) {
				return '<a href="' . voucherpress_link( $voucher->guid ) . '"><code></code><img src="' . get_option( "siteurl" ) . '/wp-content/plugins/voucherpress/templates/' . $voucher->template . '_thumb.jpg" alt="' . htmlspecialchars( $voucher->name ) . '" /></a>';
			} else {
				return '<a href="' . voucherpress_link( $voucher->guid ) . '">' . htmlspecialchars( $voucher->name ) . '</a>';
			}
		} else {
			$r = "<!-- The shortcode for voucher " . $id . " is displaying nothing because the voucher was not found, or the expiry date has passed";
			if ( $voucher ) {
				$r .= ". Voucher found, expiry: '" . $voucher->expiry . "'";
			}
			$r .= " -->";
			return $r;
		}
	}
}

Here is the modified code:

// process a shortcode for a voucher
function voucher_do_voucher_shortcode( $atts ) {
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'id' => '',
		'preview' => ''
	), $atts ) );
	if ( $id != "" ) {
		$voucher = voucherpress_get_voucher( $id );
		if ( $voucher && ( $voucher->expiry == "" || (int)$voucher->expiry == 0 || (int)$voucher->expiry > time() ) ) {
			if ( $preview == 'true' ) {
				return '<a href="' . voucherpress_link( $voucher->guid ) . '"><div style="position: absolute; width:400; height:0;">' . htmlspecialchars( $voucher->name ) . '</div><img src="' . get_option( "siteurl" ) . '/wp-content/plugins/voucherpress/templates/' . $voucher->template . '_thumb.jpg" alt="' . htmlspecialchars( $voucher->name ) . '" /></a>';
			} else {
				return '<a href="' . voucherpress_link( $voucher->guid ) . '">' . htmlspecialchars( $voucher->name ) . '</a>';
			}
		} else {
			$r = "<!-- The shortcode for voucher " . $id . " is displaying nothing because the voucher was not found, or the expiry date has passed";
			if ( $voucher ) {
				$r .= ". Voucher found, expiry: '" . $voucher->expiry . "'";
			}
			$r .= " -->";
			return $r;
		}
	}
}

The above worked for me… you can see an example at https://www.korma-sutra.com on the sidebar under section called vouchers…

With a little more styling one can make it look better… I just did a quick and dirty.. but it works.. It uses the voucher title as the text to display ontop of the image of the voucher… essentially creating the appearance of a preprinted voucher…

Hi Korma Sutra, yours only displays the first line of the voucher though, not the whole voucher. Is this achievable? if so how would it be done.

Thanks mate.
