Express expiration date&time in user Booking Confirmation mail

[Van Hove]

Hello

In MotoPress AlpenHouse theme, General Settings, time zone is set to UTC+1 (Brussels time).
The Email sent to the customer after he reserved an accommodation contains an expiration date&time. This is expressed as UTC.

Confirm
Note: link expires on December 18, 2019 17:26 UTC

Is it possible to make it adjust to our time zone automatically (as most of our guests/customers come out of our own time region).

Thanks
Carine

Hello Van Hove,

You can use a filter to modify any macros in email. To use time zone set in WordPress setting follow these steps.

1. Upload and activate child-theme or create a new plugin for custom code.
2. Add this code to functions.php of your theme or custom plugin

function mycustom_mphb_email_replace_tag($replaceText, $tag, $booking = null)
{
    if ($tag == 'user_confirm_link_expire' && $booking) {
        $gmtOffset = (int)(get_option('gmt_offset') * HOUR_IN_SECONDS);
        $expireTime = $booking->retrieveExpiration('user');
        $replaceText = date_i18n(MPHB()->settings()->dateTime()->getDateTimeFormatWP(), $expireTime + $gmtOffset);
    }

   return $replaceText;
}
add_filter('mphb_email_replace_tag', 'mycustom_mphb_email_replace_tag', 10, 3);

3. Remove UTC text from email template.
