RCP_Discounts

This class was deprecated in Restrict Content Pro version 3.3.

The RCP_Discounts class allows you to interact with the discounts database table.

get_discounts( $args = array() )

Retrieve discounts from the database. You can filter by discount status like so:

$discounts_db = new RCP_Discounts();
$discounts    = $discounts_db->get_discounts( array( 'status' => 'active' ) );

get_discount( $discount_id = 0 )

Retrieve a specific discount from the database by its ID number. This returns the object from the database like so:

stdClass Object
(
    [id] => 7
    [name] => 10% off
    [description] => 
    [amount] => 10
    [unit] => %
    [code] => 10percent
    [use_count] => 7
    [max_uses] => 0
    [status] => active
    [expiration] => 
    [subscription_id] => 0
)

get_by( $field = 'code', $value = '' )

Retrieve a specific discount code from the database by a field. You can use this to get a discount by its code rather than ID number. Example:

$discounts_db = new RCP_Discounts();
$discount     = $discounts_db->get_by( 'code', 'half_off' );
