Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/robindevitt/animated-parakeet/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

This plugin works with WooCommerce and very specifically around adding products to the cart.

When adding a product to the cart there is a notificaiton with a popup and it contians the product details.

There is an admin settings page with a few options that contain the following options:

  1. Position - Top or Bottom
  2. Close - Select howmany seconds until the popup closes.
  3. Display Conditions - Select which pages you want the notification to show on.
  4. Background and text colour
  5. Button Background and text colour

There is also a filter that allows you to set the value of the "Close". This filter is with the following snippet and it can be added to your functions.php file in your theme. Using the filter will override the value that is set in the admin settings page.

In the below option we will set the filter value to be 55 ( seconds ).

function animated_parakeet_close_override( $default ) {
    return 55;
}
add_filter( 'filter_animated_parakeet_close', 'animated_parakeet_close_override' );
