Notice for users with expired licenses in the plugin section of their WP admin

[marija-nikolic]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are not displaying any notice to expired users when we have new major release when they visit the plugin section of their WP back-end.

Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to display not dismissible notice to expired users to inform them about new release and offer them to renew their license to access the latest updates.

Additional context
Text, links and all the details are listed in this doc (and in this Notion doc).
A design is provided in the Mocflow.

Acceptance Criteria

• When the license is expired and there's new major available (when comparing to the current customer's version), we'll display the banner in the Plugins section
• We'll not display the banner for the minor releases
• The banner won't be displayed for not expired users
• The banner will show the latest major (if the customer is on 3.11, the 3.13 will be shown, not 3.12)
• The banner will not be dismissable
• There'll be a link to renew with specified express checkout
• There'll be a link to the blgo post about this specifc version
• Wording, links and additional data is present in the linked doc

@marija-nikolic Could you check if the list is complete?

Scope a solution ✅

After some discussion with @engahmeds3ed

First we will create our view in Engine/Plugin/views
There we will create a new view - update-renewal-expired-notice.php where we will have the notice view in it:

<tr class="plugin-update-tr active" id="wp-rocket-update">
       <td class="plugin-update colspanchange" colspan="<?php echo esc_attr($colspan); ?>">
   	    <div class="update-message inline notice notice-error notice-alt">
                       <p>
                                 <?php
   			printf(
   				// translators: %1$s = <strong>, %2$s = </strong>.
   				esc_html__( ' %1$sWP Rocket %2$s%3$s is available. %4$sLearn more%5$s about the updates and enhancements of this major version. You need an active license to use them on your website, don’t miss out! %6$sRenew Now%7$s', 'rocket' ),
   				'<strong>',
                                         $data['version'],
   				'</strong>',
                                         '<a href="'.esc_url($data['learn_more_url']).'">',
                                         '</a>',
                                         '<a href="'.esc_url($data['renew_url']).'">',
                                         '</a>'
   			);
                       </p>
                   </div>
       </td>
   </tr>

We will create a new class Engine\Plugin::UpdaterRenewal to extend Abstract_Render
Then create 2 methods

• Check for major version

public function is_major_version($version){
	  if (strpos($version, '.') !== false) {
	      $version = explode('.', $version);
	      
	      if (count($version) > 2) {
	          return false;
	      }
	  }
	  
	  return true;
}

• Then display the notice

public function renewal_notice($data) {
    echo $this->generate( 'update-renewal-expired-notice', $data );
}

Add a new event - after_plugin_row_{$plugin_file} in

wp-rocket/inc/Engine/Plugin/UpdaterSubscriber.php

Line 110 in 6a6d8d3

public static function get_subscribed_events() {

import Engine\License\API\User;
Add new method and bail out if:

• User license is not expired ( ! $this->user->is_license_expired() ).
• Version is not a major version - ! is_major_version($version).

We will get the major version by updating the get_latest_version_data method and adding $obj->stable_version = $match['stable_version']; after this line - https://github.com/wp-media/wp-rocket/blob/6a6d8d36f25cfaccfba3f999bc612ad58bd125f7/inc/Engine/Plugin/UpdaterSubscriber.php#LL347C41-L347C41

then in the method we will call get_latest_version_data method and validate the response
for cases where it returns NO_UPDATE {"success":false,"data":{"reason":"NO_UPDATE" we will save response in transient for 12 hours and do a check early for this transient before making remote request.

To display the notice we will get the view data

$data['version'] = $response->stable_version;
$data['learn_more_url'] = 'https://wp-rocket.me/blog/' . str_replace('.', '-', $response->stable_version);
$data['renew_url'] = $this->user->get_renewal_url();

Then call renewal_notice($data);

Update the ServiceProvider class also and add tests too.

Estimate the effort ✅
