Tried posting this on nostr, but no good answers yet. Maybe someone here knows... Yo AI and/or coding / Woocommerce wizards. I'm setting up a website on Woocommerce. Digital products are "completed" automatically on payment. That's fine, that's how it should be. But I also have the "Product Add-Ons for WooCommerce" plugin installed, I need the order status to remain in "Processing" in case an add-on is added to the product. I've tried ChatGPT and Claude.AI (both free versions) for solutions, I've tried exactly 5 iterations of ChatGPT + 2 iterations of Claude "solutions" - none of them work. Obviously I've also tried finding another plugin that would allow for me to change the order status flow, but haven't found anything applicable. Any ideas/solutions? Are paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude AI or anything else any better at coding? DISCLAIMER: I don't know anything about coding myself. A solution / good suggestions get zapped (obviously). 🀠
reply
In case anybody has the same problem/question and you happen to come across this post: I contacted Woo support regarding the question and asked whether Woocommerce Order Status Control plugin would enable me to do what I described. After receiving a useless AI-genereted answer and asking for a human to answer me (and waiting for a day), I actually got a solution from the support:
  1. Install Code Snippets plugin if you haven't: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
  2. Copy/paste this code into the .PHP section:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status', 'wc_set_addon_orders_to_processing', 10, 3 ); function wc_set_addon_orders_to_processing( $status, $order_id = 0, $order = false ) { if ( 'completed' !== $status ) { return $status; } if ( ! $order && ! $order_id ) { return $status; } $order = $order ? $order : wc_get_order( $order_id ); if ( $order ) { $items = $order->get_items(); foreach ( $items as $item ) { if ( ! empty( $item->get_meta( '_pao_ids' ) ) ) { $status = 'processing'; break; } } } return $status; }
Seems to be working for me!

Bitcoin’s mystery creator:
Now this one is more widely known but a great fact to start with, especially for anyone new to the world of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was created in the wake of the last great financial crisis of 2008 by an anonymous person, or group of people, known under the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Some even believe that the coin was created by four companies – Samsung, Toshiba, Nakamichi, Motorola – in collaboration. Could it be true?

can anyone explain that why I drink water but still feel thirsty, even with a dry lip? could it be due to the change of water/temperature, or could be the AC?
reply
My other used to put a little olive or mustard oil on my umbilical when I was a kid. She says this helps fight out dryness of skin and throat. It works.
reply
oh umbilical? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
Olive oil is good for the skin indeed, but I prefer jojoba oil, especially for the face, it absorbs so much faster and better, I don't like the oily feeling; and my skin is actually fine ( so far ) , only dry lips lately.

Umbilical=belly button. It must have some science behind it. My ancestors were great doctors of Ayurveda.

it's probably the quality of water you drink. Did you try adding some minerals to the water or gray/pink salt? I also concern some time and always bothered and concerned of drinking bottled ans/or tap water... I started looking at what bottled water contained and tried to avoid those with fluoride, also did a test of the local tap water, until I finally installed a water system to purify it.
reply
it's probably the quality of water you drink.
I guess this is part of the reasons too.
I started looking at what bottled water contained and tried to avoid those with fluoride, also did a test of the local tap water, until I finally installed a water system to purify it.
but then what do you do when traveling?
reply
That's a great question. There are online many bottles that have some filters included, you usually also find it in outdoor stores.
reply
what @DarthCoin use or just getting fresh water from the river?
reply
also fresh water from a river is not enough. If the water come directly from the top,, it doesn't have enough time to get all the minerals. Is good water but is not giving you all you need. But I always use a filter if I drink from a river or a creek.
reply
what filter do you use? πŸ‘€
and does anyone use the copper bottles for carrying water around? It seems that's what ppl used before the invention of plastic bottled water; Btw, I just drank half a bottle of Aquarius, feels so much better.
reply
what filter do you use?
something like this, very efficient, light and cheap. https://m.stacker.news/43402
I use stainless steel light bottles No plastic.
I personally avoid CC products. You probably find good local alternatives, look at the bottles labels and start comparing the components inside. It's also a good way to learn ;)
reply
I personally avoid CC products.
same! and agree, solving problems is always a good learning opportunity.

Might be vitamin B deficiency. You can try drinking coconut water and honey water.

Religious exemption

The definition of Religious exemption is a legal privilege that exempts members of a certain religion from a β€œlaw”, regulation, or requirement by the state or government.
Note: you can never be exempt from law; otherwise the victim would be without justice.
A legal privilege is not a right, and it certainly is not your right; it is a clause within a contract that someone else controls.
If you do not control said contract, then the privilege, along with the exemption can be withdrawn at any time.

Day 38 of collecting taxes from stackers.
Collected so far: amount of sats redacted.
Recently went to a craftsman event with people from different parts of the world, it was like a feast for the eyes ✨ at the same time, I was wondering why people don't buy things from them, fair price, pleasant experience ( NO hard selling ), made with love, but from those international brands that set their factories up in some seemingly "cost-efficient" places, which probably exploiting the local workers...
Anyways, here comes the photo time!
Embroidery πŸͺ‘

Real artists turn waste into art:) The maker even patiently explained how it was being made from scratch, and can you believe this is natural wood from Argentina? πŸ‘€ Nature do wonders!

Weaving
One of the oldest crafts! Actually, I am really amazed at how on earth humans figured out weave thread into fabric, then make all kinds of table clothes, scarves, towels even with different motifs, on top of it dyeing with roots and herbs, mind blowing.
And I've been traveling a bit to find natural fabric and meeting weavers, I guess that's what a toxic Bitcoiner would do - verifying. πŸ˜‚
Kilim Weaving
The Kilim was also really interesting, I used to think only Turkey and Iran were popular with kilim weaving, but it turned out things were so spread that even people from Bulgaria, Romania, and some parts of Central Asia also got these practices, even with the same motifs, I bet it's due to the silk road. ( And what made the Turkish kilims unique was the double knots. )
There are more, from hand-drawn earrings, glasses, and plates to handmade leather products, amazing! hopefully @ek will ship the photo frame one day... and if you are thinking how or why on earth did you find all these, actually I shared here , and this was where it led me to. πŸ‘€
Getting Things from the Source
I used to like searching for nice brands made in the EU or USA, but then I found out that many of them are actually made in Turkiye, or at least the materials are sourced from here, so why don't I get things from the source? This sudden awakening led me to another adventure - crafts hunting; why would I spend so much money on factory-produced brands when I can directly connect with the makers and find the best straight from the source? Not only do I cut out all the unnecessary middlemen, but I also have more freedom to make things the way I like!
reply
It's beautiful!
reply
yes, and wait until I show you some of the handmade earrings:) πŸ™Š
Now I think it's the creativity, focus, and endurance that set things apart from machine-made things.

reply
yes, it's never about the price tag, but creation as a form of expression.
reply
One of the highlights was that I got to meet some ladies from Center Asia, women in this part of the world are seemingly really skilled and talented! πŸ€” for example, one of them spoke 4 languages: Farsi, Russian, English, and her own language, got three kids yet looked so young, and mastered one craft, I was amazed!! and really loved her energy.
