do_action after page has been built in wordpress

4 Views

I added an action to woocommerce_thankyou that has a 45 second delay in it and it causes the page to hang for 45 seconds while it executes. I was wondering if there was some way hook this to an action that could fire after the woocommerce thankyou.php page has been built. I’ve already tried adding my own do_action at the end of the script but that didn’t work. The page still hangs for 45 seconds.

This is the action and its function…

add_action('woocommerce_thankyou', 'call_restaurant');

function call_restaurant() {
    sleep(45);
    require_once '/home/mywebsite/public_html/voice/Services/call.php';

    $sid = "bla bla bla";
    $token = "bla bla bla";

    $from_number = "3055551234"; // Calls must be made from a registered Twilio number.
    $to_number = "3055551234";
    $message = "Hello. You have received a new order from eat three sixty five miami dot com";

    $client = new Services_Twilio($sid, $token, "2010-04-01");
    /*
    $call = $client->account->calls->create(
        $from_number,
        $to_number,
        'http://twimlets.com/message?Message='.urlencode($message)
    );
    */
    echo 'phone call has been made';
}

The reason that I’m doing this is because I am trying to place an automated phone call 45 seconds after the order is made.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

  1. My solution was to hook into the wordpress footer and within the function of the action that I created, I used a woocommerce conditional tag that only outputs my ajax request if I am on the “order received” page. Here is the action that I created in my themes functions.php file…

    add_action('wp_footer', 'print_call_restaurant_javascript');

function print_call_restaurant_javascript() {

    if(is_wc_endpoint_url( 'order-received' )) {
        echo '  
        

            var xmlhttp;

            if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
                // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
                xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            } else {
                // code for IE6, IE5
                xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            }

            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
                if (xmlhttp.readyState == XmlHttpRequest.DONE ) {
                   if(xmlhttp.status == 200){
                       document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
                   }
                   else if(xmlhttp.status == 400) {
                      alert('There was an error 400');
                   }
                   else {
                       alert('something else other than 200 was returned');
                   }
                }
            }

            xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://eat365miami.com/voice/call_restaurant.php?order_number=123", true);
            xmlhttp.send();

        ';
    }

}

    I hope that others can find this useful 🙂
