Customizing The WP Inventory Manager Filter Options

The WP Inventory Manager filter can be extended to meet your exact needs

This filter is used to display the items that are available to “sort by” in the filter drop down of the inventory pages:

wpim_filter_sort_by_options()

However, you may find that simply turning off labels that you do not want to use in the dashboard does not get rid of all of them.  An example being the “date added”.  For these fields, you need to unset them using a bit of code in your functions.php.

So for example:

add_filter('wpim_filter_sort_by_options', 'custom_sort_options');

function custom_sort_options( $fields ) {
    // list the fields in the order desired.  Be sure the field name is accurate!

    $my_fields = array(
        // name of field     => Displayed Label
        'inventory_name'   => 'Product',
        'inventory_make'   => 'Output Voltage(s)',
        'inventory_serial'   => 'Wattage',
        'inventory_size'   => 'Dimension',
        'inventory_manufacturer' => 'Industry'
        // ... etc
    );

    // Change to FALSE or remove it completely if you ONLY want to include the fields listed above
    $include_all_fields = FALSE;

    if ( ! empty($include_all_fields)) {
        foreach ( $my_fields AS $key => $field ) {
            unset( $fields[ $key ] );
        }

        $my_fields = array_merge( $my_fields, $fields );
    }

    return $my_fields;
}

Would only render the filter options:

• inventory_name
• inventory_make
• inventory_serial
• inventory_size
• inventory_manufacturer
