WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition

Description

Have Quicker Access to Your WooCommerce Shop Resources – Time Saver!

This small and lightweight plugin just adds a lot WooCommerce related resources to your WordPress Toolbar / Admin Bar.

Also links to all setting/ tab pages of the plugin are added making life for shop administrators/ webmasters a lot easier. So you might just switch from the frontend of your site to ‘Payment Settings’ page or check recent ‘Orders’ etc.

General Features

• The plugin is primarily intended towards shop managers, site admins and webmasters.
• All WooCommerce shop settings, products and orders management as well as extensions are hooked in!
• Supporting all official and most third-party plugins with own settings pages!
• Access WooCommerce resources from your dashboard with one click – or just search the documentation.
• 4 action hooks included for hooking custom menu items in — for all main sections plus the resource group section (see Other Notes section here for more info on that).
• 7 additional icon colors included 🙂 (changeable via filters)
• Plus 7 filters included to change wording/tooltip and icon of the main item – for more info see Other Notes section here
• For custom “branding” or special needs a few sections like “Extensions” and “Resource links group” could be hidden from displaying via your active theme/child theme – for more info see Other Notes section here
• Fully internationalized! Real-life tested and developed with international users in mind!
• Fully WPML compatible!
• Fully Multisite compatible, you can also network-enable it if ever needed (per site use is recommended).
• Developed, tested and fully maintained since the WooCommerce 1.2.x branch up to now! Plugin also supported by WooCommerce main developer!
• As of this plugin version 2.7.0 or higher: Only WooCommerce v2.1.0 or higher, and legacy branch 2.0.x are supported! So please update your installs!
• Tested with WordPress branch 3.8 also in debug mode (no stuff there, ok? 🙂 (Note: Plugin should also run with WP 3.6+ but please always update to latest version, ok?!)

Special Features

• Not only supporting official WooCommerce sites ALSO third-party and user links – so just the whole WooCommerce ecosystem 🙂
• Link to German language/translation plugin – only displayed when German locales are active (de_DE, de_AT, de_CH, de_LU, gsw)
• Link to downloadable German language packs – only displayed when German locales are active (de_DE, de_AT, de_CH, de_LU, gsw)
• Link to Dutch language/translation plugin – only displayed when Dutch locales are active (nl_NL or nl)
• Link to Spanish language/translation plugin – only displayed when Spanish locales are active (es_ES or es_PE)
• Link to Czech language/translation plugin – only displayed when Czech locale is active (cs_CZ)
• NOTE: I would be happy to add more language/locale specific resources and more useful third-party links – just contact me!

Requiremets

• Technically speaking this plugin runs also without WooCommerce 2.x being active
• BUT: it really makes no sense to use it without WooCommerce 2.x!
• WordPress 3.6 or higher, but latest version always recommended!

As the name suggests this plugin is intended towards admins/ webmasters/ shop managers. The new admin bar entries will only be displayed if the current user has the WooCommerce capability of manage_woocommerce (a.k.a. user role “Shop Manager”). (Note: I am open for suggestions here if the default value should maybe changed to a more suitable capability. However, you can now tweak this also yourself using our new filter 🙂

Currently supporting: 27 official premium extensions // 15 free third-party extensions // 13 third-party premium themes/frameworks // 1 free third-party theme // plus all official free/premium WooCommerce themes by WooThemes!

Easy plugin translation platform with GlotPress tool: Translate “WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition”…

Note: All my plugins are internationalized/ translateable by default. This is very important for all users worldwide. So please contribute your language to the plugin to make it even more useful. For translating I recommend the awesome “Codestyling Localization” plugin and for validating the “Poedit Editor”, which works fine on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Additional Info

Idea Behind / Philosophy: Just a little leightweight plugin for all the WooCommerce shop managers out there to make their daily shop admin life a bit easier. Integration of extensions and third-party plugins & themes was also an important goal. — I’ll try to add even more plugin/theme support if it makes some sense. So stay tuned :).

Tweaking, Branding, Custom Snippets

All the following custom & branding stuff code can also be found as a Gist on Github: https://gist.github.com/deckerweb/2173193 (you can also add your questions/ feedback there 🙂

Add Theme Support for “Order Status” with Counters

Add the following code to your active theme/child theme functions.php file:

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Add Order Status Links */
add_theme_support( 'wcaba-order-status' );

–> Links will appear under “Orders” item as sub-level links

Add Theme Support for All the Frontend “Shop Pages” Links

Add the following code to your active theme/child theme functions.php file:

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Add Shop Pages Links */
add_theme_support( 'wcaba-shop-links' );

–> Links will appear between “Reports” and “Extensions” — also the WordPress capability edit_pages is required – because you’ll want to edit your stuff right away 🙂

Add new custom menu items via theme or other plugins

This is possible since version 2.3 of the plugin! There are 4 action hooks available for hooking custom menu items in — wcaba_custom_main_items for the main section, wcaba_custom_extension_items for the exentensions section, wcaba_custom_theme_items for the theme section plus wcaba_custom_group_items for the resource group section. Here’s an example code:

add_action( 'wcaba_custom_group_items', 'wcaba_custom_additional_group_item' );
/**
 * WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Custom Resource Group Items
 *
 * @global mixed $wp_admin_bar
 */
function wcaba_custom_additional_group_item() {

    global $wp_admin_bar;

    $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
        'parent' => 'ddw-woocommerce-wcgroup',
        'id'     => 'your-unique-item-id',
        'title'  => __( 'Custom Menu Item Name', 'your-textdomain' ),
        'href'   => 'http://deckerweb.de/',
        'meta'   => array( 'title' => __( 'Custom Menu Item Name Tooltip', 'your-textdomain' ) )
    ) );
}

Remove Certain Sections from the Toolbar Items

To achieve this add one, some or all of the following constants to your active theme/child theme’s functions.php file:

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove ALL Items! */
define( 'WCABA_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Extensions Items */
define( 'WCABA_EXTENSIONS_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Themes Items */
define( 'WCABA_THEMES_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Resource Items */
define( 'WCABA_RESOURCES_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove German Language Items */
define( 'WCABA_DE_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Dutch Language Items */
define( 'WCABA_NL_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Spanish Language Items */
define( 'WCABA_ES_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Czech Language Items */
define( 'WCABA_CZ_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove WC Debug Link */
define( 'WCABA_DEBUG_DISPLAY', FALSE );

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove Reports/Statistics */
define( 'WCABA_REPORTS_DISPLAY', FALSE );

–> You can also combine these with conditional if statements to customize this even more, for example:

If you want to disable the display of any “WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition” items for all user roles of “Editor” please use this code:

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove all items for "Editor" user role */
if ( current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {
    define( 'WCABA_DISPLAY', FALSE );
}

To hide the “Extensions” section only from a user with the user ID of “2”, just use this code:

/** WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Remove all items for user ID 2 */
if ( 2 == get_current_user_id() ) {
    define( 'WCABA_EXTENSIONS_DISPLAY', FALSE );
}

Available Filters to Customize More Stuff

All filters are listed with the filter name in bold and the below additional info, helper functions (if available) as well as usage examples.

wcaba_filter_capability_all

• Default value: manage_woocommerce (set by “WooCommerce” plugin itself, the main capability for shop managers!)

• 5 Predefined helper functions:

  • __wcaba_admin_only — returns 'administrator' role — usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_capability_all’, ‘__wcaba_admin_only’ );

  • __wcaba_role_shop_manager — returns 'shop_manager' role — usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_capability_all’, ‘__wcaba_role_shop_manager’ );

  • __wcaba_role_editor — returns 'editor' role — usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_capability_all’, ‘__wcaba_role_editor’ );

  • __wcaba_cap_manage_options — returns 'manage_options' capability — usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_capability_all’, ‘__wcaba_cap_manage_options’ );

  • __wcaba_cap_install_plugins — returns 'install_plugins' capability — usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_capability_all’, ‘__wcaba_cap_install_plugins’ );

• Another example:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_capability_all’, ‘custom_wcaba_capability_all’ );
  /**

  • WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Change Main Capability
    */
    function custom_wcaba_capability_all() {
    return ‘edit_theme_options’;
    }

–> Changes the capability to edit_theme_options

wcaba_filter_main_icon

• Default value: WooCommerce cart icon in default color

• 7 Predefined helper functions for the 6 included colored icons, returning special colored icon values – the helper function always has this name: __wcaba_colornamehere_icon() this results in the following filters ready for usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__wcaba_blue_icon’ );

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__wcaba_grey_icon’ );

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__wcaba_orange_icon’ );

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__wcaba_pink_icon’ );

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__wcaba_red_icon’ );

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__wcaba_teal_icon’ );

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘__bptb_theme_images_icon’ );

–> Where the last helper function returns the icon file (icon-wcaba.png) found in your current theme’s/child theme’s /images/ subfolder

• Another example:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon’, ‘custom_wcaba_main_icon’ );
  /**

  • WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Change Main Icon
    */
    function custom_wcaba_main_icon() {
    return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/images/custom-icon.png’;
    }

–> Uses a custom image from your active theme’s /images/ folder

–> Recommended dimensions are 16px x 16px

wcaba_filter_main_icon_display

• Returning the CSS class for the main item icon
• Default value: icon-woocommerce (class is: .icon-woocommerce)

• 1 Predefined helper function:

  • __wcaba_no_icon_display() — usage:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon_display’, ‘__wcaba_no_icon_display’ );

  • This way you can REMOVE the icon!

• Another example:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_icon_display’, ‘custom_wcaba_main_icon_display_class’ );
  /**

  • WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Change Main Icon CSS Class
    */
    function custom_wcaba_main_icon_display_class() {
    return ‘your-custom-icon-class’;
    }

–> You then have to define CSS rules in your theme/child theme stylesheet for your own custom class .your-custom-icon-class

wcaba_filter_main_item

• Default value: “WooCommerce”
• NOTE: Interlinked with “WooCommerce Branding” extension: if you’re changing the Name there, then the new value will be applied ALSO to this filter!

• Example code for your theme’s functions.php file:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_item’, ‘custom_wcaba_main_item’ );
  /**

  • WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Change Main Item Name
    */
    function custom_wcaba_main_item() {
    return __( ‘Your custom main item’, ‘your-theme-textdomain’ );
    }

wcaba_filter_main_item_tooltip

• Default value: “WooCommerce Shop Plugin”
• NOTE: Interlinked with the “WooCommerce Branding” extension: if you’re changing the Name there, then the new value will be applied ALSO to this filter!

• Example code for your theme’s functions.php file:

  add_filter( ‘wcaba_filter_main_item_tooltip’, ‘custom_wcaba_main_item_tooltip’ );
  /**

  • WooCommerce Admin Bar Addition: Change Main Item Name’s Tooltip
    */
    function custom_wcaba_main_item_tooltip() {
    return __( ‘Your custom main item tooltip’, ‘your-theme-textdomain’ );
    }

wcaba_filter_woocommerce_name and wcaba_filter_woocommerce_name_tooltip

• Default value for both: “WooCommerce”
• Used for some items within toolbar links to enable proper branding
• Change things like in the other examples/principles shown above
• NOTE: Interlinked with the “WooCommerce Branding” extension: if you’re changing the Name there, then it will be applied ALSO to both of these filters!

Final note: If you don’t like to add your customizations to your theme’s functions.php file you can also add them to a functionality plugin or an mu-plugin. This way you can also use this better for Multisite environments. In general you are then more independent from theme changes etc.

All the custom & branding stuff code above can also be found as a Gist on Github: https://gist.github.com/deckerweb/2173193 (you can also add your questions/ feedback there 🙂
