Available Files Used in the Template Override Systems

Inside of the WP Inventory Manager plugin views folder, you will see a wide variety of files. Below are the general descriptions of each file, so you know which file to override to meet your needs. Please also note that each file is documented – when you open the file, view the comments at the top of the file for more information.

Also be aware that there are several sample files provided, that reveal even more information. Any file with the “-sample” ending is a sample file, and gives a full example of the final HTML of the related view file. We recommend referring to those files to see many of the functions that WP Inventory makes available for displaying information.

loop-all.php

This file is loaded to display the main inventory listing when your display settings “Display List as Table” is set to No, called with the [wpinventory] shortcode. This file will allow you to change the position of the filter form, as well as provide any additional markup or classes to the container inside of which the inventory items will be listed.

Relevant Setting: Display Settings=>Display Listing as Table=>No

loop-all-table.php

This file is loaded to display the main listing when your display settings “Display List as Table” is set to Yes, called with the [wpinventory] shortcode. This file will allow you to change the position of the filter form, as well as provide any additional markup or classes to the table and its rows, inside of which the inventory items will be listed.

Relevant Setting: Display Settings=>Display Listing as Table=>Yes

loop-category.php

This file is similar to the loop-all.php file, however, this file is called only when the display shortcode is set to view a specific category, such as [wpinventory category_id="1"].

Note: at this time, WP Inventory does not support different templates per category

loop-category-table.php

This file is similar to the loop-all-table.php file, however, this file is loaded when the display shortcode is set to view a specific category, such as such as [wpinventory category_id="1"].

Note: at this time, WP Inventory does not support different templates per category

single-loop-all.php and single-loop-category.php

This file displays the details of an individual item within the listing loop of the above files. Note that if you override this template, you will see that it is highly automated in order to respect all of the settings configured in the Display Settings. For an example of how to use this file in a less-automated way, please refer to the single-loop-all-sample.php file, which reveals many of the functions available for displaying content. The single-loop-category.php file is called when the display shortcode is set to view a specific category.

Relevant Setting: Display Settings=>Display Listing as Table=>No

single-loop-all-table.php and single-loop-category-table.php

Similar to single-loop-all.php above, except this is the template that is loaded when the Display Listing as Table setting is set to Yes. The single-loop-category-table.php file is called when the display shortcode is set to view a specific category.

Relevant Setting: Display Settings=>Display Listing as Table=>Yes

loop-search.php

The file displays the inventory listing resulting from a user’s search, or else displays a message if the search results do not match any items.

Relevant Setting: Settings=>General=>Search Settings=>Display Filter at Top of Item Listing=>Yes

single-loop-search.php

Like the other -single files above, this file displays the details of an individual item within the listing loop of loop-search.php. Note that if you override this template, you will see that it is highly automated in order to respect all of the settings configured in the Display Settings.

single-item.php

This file handles the display of the item detail page, which displays upon clicking on any item in the inventory listing. Note that this file also has a sample file for reference on its functionality depending on the Display Settings. This file also calls the reservation form, handled by the file below.

reserve-form.php

This file handles the reservation form, which displays by default below the item information on the item detail page. This is the perfect place to change or add to how the reservation form functions.

Relevant Setting: Settings=>Reserve=>General=>Allow Visitors to Reserve Items=>Yes

widget-latest-items-loop.php

This file handles the inventory item listing loop for the items that will display in the “WP Inventory Latest Items” widget available to place in any of your site’s sidebars.

widget-latest-items-single.php

Like the other -single files above, this file displays the details of an individual item within the listing loop of widget-latest-items-loop.php. Note that if you override this template, you will see that it is highly automated in order to respect all of the settings configured in the Display Settings.

REVIEWS ON WORDPRESS.ORG

Love It!

Great plugin! I love the ability to manage the display settings for the listing and the detail page.

Useful and Free, But a Paid License Gives You So Much More!

Typically ‘free’ plugins come in a few flavors useful or enough to get you to pay for what you really need. This plugin offers a unique solutions to a number of Inventory uses and displays for free, no fuss or muss about it.

However paying for a license opens up support for one year and allows addition of the addons if desired. Let me just say for the meager cost of $15 for a year of support the team is everything you would want from a development group and customer service team rolled into one.

Look forward to using this plugin for a long time to come.

Great Product – Fantastic Support!

What a great plugin, works very well and the support is fantastic.

Thank you for a good product, looking forward to anything else you guys may have up your sleeve.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent, Clean, Simple Inventory Management

The administrator features make this an excellent plugin for managing a list of items based on a variety of factors. The database and code are well structured, so you could easily modify it to your liking or use it right away as is. Many aspects of the plugin are also customizable as part of the plugin’s settings.

Excellent All Around!

The software and service is excellent. Can not thank them enough. Sometimes it is hard to find such dedication and professionalism. Highly recommend WP Inventory and the add-ons.

Great Product, Even Better Support!

Having used the application / plugin for more than 6 months, I cannot express enough my appreciation for WP Inventory. Easy to implement, intuitive for users, the application allows us to indicate our current and forthcoming inventory positions easily. We have chosen to show our inventory not by using numbers, but by using literals like “In stock” and “Arriving soon”.

A new application using WP inventory is being implemented for another part of our business and it will display actual units of inventory. It is nice to have one application that can handle two different styles of implementation.

What is most impressive is the reliability and the timeliness of support for this application. It is not hyperbole when I say that the support for this plug-in is the best of any WordPress plugin that we have used.

Great Product! Great support!

Great Plugin – Great Support!

This plugin is just the ticket for a small business (up to 5000 items) needing a comprehensive inventory system. I found it quite easy to install and just as easy to use. I ran into one problem, contacted their support center and had my problem rectified in a couple of hours. I’ve never been a fan of email support, but these guys are great! I couldn’t be happier with everything about my purchase!

Great Program and Customer Support!

This program is just what we needed to list our inventory with photos to our customers and the public – Very flexible as to what information you can show-and easy to use

Great Plugin!

After installing and configuring everything, I still needed some help with some issues in the way I was trying to use IM. The support team was very clear in their explanation, and everything was solved quite fast.

Great Product and Support!

I was looking for a product to display collection items on my site when someone suggest WP Inventory. It was exactly what I was looking for. The support is unmatched. They have helped me several times along the way. You will not be disappointed with WP Inventory.

Fantastic Plugin and Support!

I was recently looking for a solution to manage inventory for a client on their WordPress site. I searched and found the WP Inventory Manager plugin and after reading some reviews, decided to install it. The interface was well considered, and offered a tremendous amount of capability for the free version. Everything worked as stated in the promo, and I was very happy with the results. I wanted to expand the capabilities of the program, so I purchased the Import/Export add on. What a time saver!

I am new to developing, so had a few issues with some custom code, due to my inexperience. When I sent my questions and emails for assistance with the problem, I had an answer within the day that remedied my problem and also gave me a little more insight into some of the code in this great plugin.

I have since purchased the Advanced Inventory Manager and plan to add the Bulk Item Manager very soon.
Considering the price of these Add Ons and the fact that the initial WP Inventory Manager is free, it’s an incredible value, and has served my clients very well. I may have been able to develop a system in php with Dreamweaver, but it would have involved a tremendous amount of time and effort.. making WP Inventory Manager and its Add Ons, with its excellent support, one of the best purchases I have made in recent years!

Great Plugin with Superb Support!

Whilst the free version is great, it’s well worth the small amount it costs to purchase a licence. Support is superb and the plugin works just perfectly. The only choice if you are looking for pro inventory solution.

Excellent Tech Support!

Not only does this plugin work as advertised, but they also have excellent tech support. They answer emails quickly and were able to ask/solve my problems in a timely manner.

Highly recommended.

Great Plugin, Top Notch Support!

Can’t say enough good things about this plugin and its support. I had an issue that was quite unique to my situation and the support staff went above and beyond to make the plugin work for me. I would highly recommend this plugin if you are doing any sort of inventory management.

Excellent Inventory Plugin for WordPress

I used this plugin and eventually used the developers to do all my WordPress programming. They are responsive, competent and write clean code. I would recommend this plugin and the developers to anyone looking for WordPress work.

Good Support!

Very willing and helpful support.

Excellent Support!

The guys at wpinventory go out of their way to help solve any issues that might exist! One of the best supports I have had the pleasure to work with.

Simply Awesome!

The database functions are really worth seeing. You can see that there were experts here who understand their craft! Logical structure of the database, useful functions and an incredibly detailed guide with numerous videos, what more could you ask for? But the best part is the support! Responds to requests in the shortest possible time, has solutions and no standard texts ready and is on top of that friendly! Conclusion – best recommendation!

Amazing!

I cant believe how good this plug-in is! It was great when I first downloaded it and began using it. I ran into some small bumps down the road and the support team they have is beyond exceptional. Always a working answer to a problem, and always in a quick a timely manner. I would Give them more then 5 stars if I could! Keep up the great work guys!
