Where Did You Hear About Us Checkout Field for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 24 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Hi there, Thanks for this plugin. We are using another plugin to automatically export and import orders into another system. In this plugin we have the capability to select certain ‘meta fields’, however we do not know what exact meta name / meta key your plugin uses. Could you please tell us? Thanks in advance

   No mess, no fuss, straight-forward plugin. Was up and running in around 10 minutes. It’s great that we can now ascertain how people found our site when going through the checkout process. Awesome stuff! 🙂

   Great plugin, works fine. One suggestion: Currently the line “Other” is not translated in the dropdown-menu (only in the field label).. To fix: on wc-customer-source.php, line 589, please change the text-domain from woocommerce-admin to woocommerce, and it will work flawlessly.

   Works fine. A little more in terms of formatting/design would be great (spacing / alignment on my pages isn’t great).

   First of all, I would like to thank you for making this plug-in available to the public. I think it is an simple and elegant solution. There is a few questions that raised for me after giving this a try and reading the source code. In your report, you are directly accessing WooCommerce properties which is considered bad practice and will actually throw a lot of notices in the admin area (“doing it wrong”). Instead of $order->billing_first_name you should use $order->get_billing_first_name() and so forth. This will ensure the plug-in to continue working if WooCommerce decides to change these properties. Apparently this is also relevant for caching. You are using woocommerce_form_field( ) to build the select field. Then further down, you are building the field yourself. Is there a reasoning behind it? (I’m not saying it is not legit, just curious if this was done on purpose) You are defining your class as “final” which means that it can not be extended and methods can not be altered. While I’m sure this has a reasoning, it defeats the purpose of OOP. Lastly, In terms of transliteration, there’s a bunch of strings which are unnecessary to include into your textdomain, such as Report, Setting, Export, Customer Name, Order Status etc. Instead you may use WooCommerce’s or WordPress’ textdomain: __( 'Customer Name', 'woocommerce-admin' ), __( 'Orders', 'woocommerce-admin' ), __( 'Other', 'woocommerce-admin' ) __( 'Other', 'woocommerce' ) __( 'Select an option…', 'woocommerce' ) __( 'Customer', 'woocommerce' ) I don’t fault you for this, in fact I’m seeing this a lot of times in a lot of Plug-Ins but I think with a bit of research in our IDE we can often find strings which already have been included in core or contributed plug-ins. While we can’t always depend on other plugins in our translation, it is the case here because we are extending WooCommerce functionality.This way it will be easier to maintain and more languages will be supported in the first place. I hope you will find this review helpful. Thanks again for sharing your code. This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by d9media. This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by d9media.

   And it has a position field in settings which lets you position the drop-down where you need it to be.
