HAPPY – Helpdesk Support Ticket System

Changelog

2026.08.17 – version 2.0.1
– Fixed: Auto-close cron no longer posts inactivity reply on tickets already closed/resolved or with date_closed set (fresh status check + _happy_auto_closed guard)
– Fixed: Ticket detail — [#CLOSED#] only when status is the configured close status (int/string-safe); strip leftover marker from subject; close action sets status + date_closed and clears ticket cache
– Fixed: Reply ticket — hide canned response HTML list under the dropdown; tighten Quicktags toolbar button styles
– Fixed: Form builder — Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'settings') when updating section/element editing state
– Fixed: Create ticket with reCAPTCHA enabled — v3 token on submit + hidden submit flag so tickets save; verify only when captcha widget can render
– Updated: WooCommerce My Account tickets badge loads lightweight wc-account-tickets-badge CSS instead of full frontend.css
– Updated: problem-form CSS/JS load only on create-ticket page or happy_forms / happy_single_form shortcodes (filter happy_should_load_problem_form_assets)
– Fixed: Form builder Add Element — restore column width picker (100%/50%/33%/25%) after choosing a field, including when adding on a new row/section
– Fixed: Form builder — cannot add field (elements.length on undefined section); normalize form sections/elements in admin localize
– Fixed: Create ticket form layout/CSS — body styles target form wrapper, scoped box-sizing, default field padding; no longer soft-404 for Woo order gate
– Fixed: Create New Ticket page soft-404 when WooCommerce “Order required” defaulted on or customer had no orders; Order required now defaults off; clearer notice instead of 404
– Fixed: WooCommerce Order required — administrators, support managers, and supporters can see/create tickets without having orders (filter happy_woo_skip_order_requirement)
– Fixed: PHP 8.1 compatibility — null-safe explode/trim/strtolower; guard get_userdata/get_user_by before property access
– Added: Global Enable email notifications switch (Settings → Email); master off stops all plugin emails (enable_email_notifications, filter happy_emails_enabled)
– Added: Unanswered Ticket digest — one email per recipient with the full unanswered list ({unanswered_ticket_list}, {unanswered_ticket_count}); action happy_unanswered_tickets_digest_sent
– Added: Email settings — placeholder guide + clearer section/event descriptions
– Fixed: Email placeholders replace correctly ({ticket_url}, {reply_content}, {guest_token}, {subject}, …); guest/customer emails append guest access token to ticket URL
– Fixed: {ticket_url} no longer depends on Support page being set (uses happy_get_ticket_permalink fallback)
– Fixed: Admin bar “View list tickets” under Site Name — link missing when Support page was front page or had no valid permalink
– Updated: New install List Ticket page default slug is list-tickets (post_name)
– Added: Working Hours → per-day “Day off” checkbox (Fill skips Day off days); Our/Your clocks + Official hour GMT use WordPress site timezone; Your time = browser/OS local
– Added: Appearance → Widgets → List Tickets area (top of tickets column; hidden when empty); registered early so it appears in block Widgets UI
– Updated: Shortcode [happy_working_hours] (replaced [happy_working_hour]); Holiday Start/End use Y-m-d date pickers; auto-delete expired holiday events (default on)
