OCW Checkout Logic for WooCommerce

Changelog

2.4.0

• Blocks checkout: real server-side field handling. Hidden/optional fields are now relaxed via the woocommerce_get_country_locale filter (drives both the Store API and the React client validation), and per-product required fields are enforced server-side on the Store API checkout route. Previously, hidden required fields on the Blocks checkout were worked around by injecting a space character into the input — which wrote junk into order address data. That hack is removed.
• Hidden fields are blanked on Blocks orders (autofill could still populate a field the shopper never saw). Country and email are never blanked — they drive tax/shipping totals and the order confirmation.
• New uninstall.php — removes all plugin options, transients, product/category/user meta and cron events on deletion. Order item meta (custom field values) is deliberately preserved as part of order history.
• Generated languages/ocw-checkout-logic.pot (96 strings) — the languages folder previously shipped without a template.
• PRO validation errors now show the field label instead of the raw field key (e.g. “Postcode” instead of “billing_postcode”).
• Product-page bulk-action strings (confirm/notification) are now translatable via wp_localize_script — they were hardcoded Dutch.
• Classic checkout required-field error message translated to English source text per i18n policy.
• readme.txt: short description trimmed to the 150-char limit, stale “WooCommerce → Checkout Fields License” menu path corrected to “Checkout Fields → License & PRO”, honest Blocks-support scoping in the FAQ (PRO custom fields / conditional logic / validation are classic-checkout only).
• Compatibility: Tested up to: 7.0, WC tested up to: 10.8.

2.3.0

• Renamed from “Checkout Fields for Woo” to “OCW Checkout Logic for WooCommerce” following ww.wp.xz.cn plugin-directory naming review — the new name leads with a distinctive identifier (OCW) and places the trademark “WooCommerce” at the end after “for”, as required by the trademark guidelines.
• New slug: ocw-checkout-logic. New text domain: ocw-checkout-logic.
• All internal WCPCF_*, WC_Product_Checkout_Fields and CFFW_* symbols renamed to OCWCL_* — eliminates the reserved wc_ prefix flagged by the plugin reviewer.
• Added Requires Plugins: woocommerce header so WordPress now checks for WooCommerce automatically before activating.
• Removed the manual load_plugin_textdomain() call — ww.wp.xz.cn auto-loads translations from the plugin slug since WP 4.6.
• Independent-add-on disclaimer now visible in the plugin header description, the Plugins-list row meta, the readme.txt short description, the Description prologue, the FAQ, and the Tutorial / License & PRO / Field order page headers — to make the unaffiliated status unambiguous on every surface.

2.2.3

• ww.wp.xz.cn plugin-directory readiness:
  • Added License: GPLv2 or later and License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html headers to the main plugin file (scanner flagged plugin_header_no_license).
  • Synced license format between plugin header and readme.txt — both now say GPLv2 or later (was GPL v2 or later in readme, missing in header). Fixes license_mismatch.
  • Bumped Tested up to from 6.8 to 6.9 in both plugin header and readme. Fixes outdated_tested_upto_header.
  • Added languages/index.php placeholder so the Domain Path: /languages header points to an existing folder. Fixes plugin_header_nonexistent_domain_path.

2.2.2

• Fix: Hidden status now also works on builder-rendered checkout pages. In 2.2.1 the wrapper-hide CSS was only injected on Woo’s officially-configured Checkout page (is_checkout() returned true). Many sites place the Woo checkout form somewhere else via a page builder — Elementor’s WooCommerce Checkout widget on the cart page is the textbook case. On those pages our CSS never loaded, so the labels stayed visible. The is_checkout() gate is removed; the rule (.ocwcl-hidden-field { display: none !important; }) is now injected on every front-end page. Safe because the class only ever exists where our filter has already done its work.
• Blocks checkout: same gate-widening — inject_blocks_checkout_css now runs on both cart and checkout pages so Blocks-on-cart-page setups are covered too.

2.2.1

• Fix: Hidden status now actually hides the field row at checkout. Previously the input was hidden but its label stayed visible — labels like “Country / Region (optional)” or “Street address” still showed up because no CSS rule was hiding the wrapper. Fixed by injecting one inline CSS rule .ocwcl-hidden-field { display: none !important; } on every checkout page. Works for the classic shortcode checkout, Elementor’s WooCommerce Checkout widget and any other widget/builder that renders fields through woocommerce_form_field().
• Cleaned up the now-redundant inline display:none style that was attached to each hidden input — the wrapper CSS makes it obsolete.

2.2.0

• Site-wide checkout field order (free) — new Checkout Fields → Field order submenu lets you drag the 21 standard Woo checkout fields into a custom order across three lists (billing / shipping / order). Applies to the classic checkout via the woocommerce_checkout_fields filter. The per-product Checkout fields tab tables also follow this order, so admins see the same layout they’ll get at checkout.
• PRO: Drag-and-drop reordering of rows in the Custom fields, Conditional logic and Field validation panels. Grab the ≡ handle on the left of any row to reorder.
• PRO: Custom fields → Options input now grays out and gets a “— only used for Dropdown —” placeholder whenever Type ≠ Dropdown. The value is retained in case you switch back to Dropdown, but the input is read-only and visually muted.

2.1.3

• PRO: Fixed broken “+ Add” buttons in empty PRO panels. The “+ Add custom field”, “+ Add condition” and “+ Add validation rule” buttons silently did nothing on a product that didn’t already have at least one row — the JS tried to clone the last existing row but there wasn’t one. Each PRO panel now ships a hidden HTML template, and the add-row handlers fall back to that template when the tbody is empty.

2.1.2

• PRO Fix: License activation now uses the response from /activate directly — successful activation immediately writes the valid status and you no longer rely on a separate /validate roundtrip
• PRO Fix: Specific activation errors (wrong slug, expired, max activations, server unreachable) are stored in option ocwcl_pro_last_error and shown under the License Key field instead of a generic “Inactive”
• PRO: Stores sites_used and sites_limit from the server response on the cached status object

2.1.1

• Admin menu reorganized — “Checkout Fields” is now its own top-level item in the WP admin sidebar, positioned directly below WooCommerce. Tutorial, License & PRO, and Templates (PRO) live as submenus underneath it. Old WooCommerce submenu entries removed.
• Menu icon: WP dashicons-feedback (form-style icon).
• Pre-existing styling miss fixed: admin.css now loads on the Tutorial and License & PRO pages too (previously only on product edit screens), so the OCW house-style finally renders everywhere.

2.1.0

• PRO: Configuration templates — save the full checkout-fields configuration of a product as a named, reusable template (standard field statuses, custom fields, conditional logic, validation rules). Apply any saved template to another product in one click. New “Checkout Fields Templates” submenu under WooCommerce for rename/delete.
• New AJAX endpoints ocwcl_template_save, ocwcl_template_apply, ocwcl_template_rename, ocwcl_template_delete (all manage_woocommerce + nonce-protected).
• Stored as site option ocwcl_pro_templates (autoload off).
• License & PRO page now lists “Configuration templates” as a sixth PRO feature.

2.0.0

• Renamed to “OCW Checkout Logic for WooCommerce” (was “Woo Product Checkout Fields”) to comply with the Woo trademark naming rule. New slug: ocw-checkout-logic.
• Single-codebase architecture (free + PRO from the same source). PRO ships as its own zip with /includes/pro/.
• All admin strings translated from Dutch to English (Dutch translations available via /languages/).
• New Tutorial submenu with progress detection and reset button. Auto-opens on first activation.
• New License & PRO submenu — paste your license key, see active features at a glance.
• OCW house-style admin design (teal / navy / pink, Apple-style cards).
• PRO: custom fields per product (text/email/phone/textarea/dropdown/checkbox).
• PRO: conditional logic — “show field X when field Y equals Z”.
• PRO: per-category settings on product_cat terms.
• PRO: field validation patterns (Dutch postcode, KVK, EU VAT, IBAN, Dutch phone, custom regex).
• PRO: automatic updates via the OCW License Server.
• Plugin header bumped to Requires at least: 6.0, Tested up to: 6.8, Requires PHP: 8.0.
• OCWCL_* constants kept as back-compat aliases for OCWCL_*.
