This hook loads on the admin dashboard. It is fired immediately when clicking into an item to edit it, before the item details are rendered to the page.
/**

*/
function my_custom_function( $item ) {
// Use this hook to place a custom message or tool tip or anything else above the edit item fields in the item edit details
}
add_action( 'wpim_admin_pre_edit_item', 'my_custom_function' );
This hook runs in the admin directly before loading all of the items.

Using the reserve system allows you to enable a reserve form on your inventory item pages. A user can fill in this reserve form and they will then be allowed to pick it up at a later time. They get an email confirmation and the administrator also gets a confirmation email. In addition, the quantity decreases by the reserve amount automatically in the system. For more information, please refer to the Reserve Setting section in the Quick Start Guide.
Be advised that emails being sent are dependent on your server settings and/or host environment. For best results with regards to receiving emails, we strongly recommend the WP Mail SMTP plugin.
This is possible with our Ledger Add-On. By default, the reservation system does not keep journal entries of the emails or for whom reserved the item(s). If you would like a log of this from the dashboard as well as ability to invoice; then you will need the Ledger Add-On as well.
The shortcode is something that is used on your page to display your inventory. The base shortcode we use in order to display our inventory is:
[wpinventory]
Upon installation of the WP Inventory Manager and going through the quick start process, you will be ready to display the products you have entered. Creating a page in your WordPress dashboard such as a “Shop” page, or “Inventory” page, would be a great page to insert the shortcode. Simply drop in the shortcode [wpinventory] and save the page. Next, go to your website and navigate to that page. You should now see your inventory listed and it should look something like this.
Note: If you want to rearrange the fields order in which they display, for example the image first, then you would just update the display settings in the “Display” tab. Also, there are no styles attached to this, it is a bare bones listing. For styles, you may use the built in styles, fall back on your theme styles, or have a developer make custom styles for you.
By clicking into one of these items you will land on the inventory item’s details page which will list out all of the information you defined for it to show in the display tab.
For more advanced usage of the shortcode, please read our shortcode options guide.
Through the use of the shortcode options it is possible to display your inventory just the way you want it. You can display all inventory, a specific category of inventory, a specific product, and many more options. In addition to what you can display, you may also choose one of our default styles in the “Display” tab in the dashboard. Choosing a default style will display your inventory according to the color scheme you choose. If one of the default styles does not meet your needs, you may always look into the option of custom styles.

Inventory items can be added and edited by clicking on the “Inventory Items” menu item in your dashboard. From there, you will see a screen that looks like the screenshot below. When you add any inventory items, they will automatically display in the table at the bottom. If you have numerous inventory items, you can search for specific ones with the fields above.
To add an item, simply click the “Add Inventory Item” button. You’ll be taken to a page that allows you to enter information to create your first item. Once you’ve finished, feel free to add as many items as you want, there is no limit. Below is what the form will look like where you can enter the information, with your own custom settings and labels displayed. For an in-depth breakdown of the fields, please refer to this page.
Congratulations, the WP Inventory Manager plugin is now configured for your use! Let’s move on to displaying your new inventory items using the shortcode.
When you setup your inventory items you want to think about the “architecture” of your inventory management. This means, what inventory is going to be associated to which category or categories. Aside from that, you should have images for inventory items (if applicable) and all of the information below necessary to setup your inventory.
Again, all of these labels can be easily changed or turned off by visiting the display options tab.
