FAQ

How are new resources being added to the admin bar?

Just drop me a note on my Twitter @deckerweb or via my contact page and I’ll add the link if it is useful for admins/ webmasters and the WooCommerce community.

How could my plugin/extension or theme options page be added to the admin bar links?

This is possible of course and highly welcomed! Just drop me a note on my Twitter @deckerweb or via my contact page and we sort out the details!

Particularly, I need the admin url for the primary options page (like so wp-admin/admin.php?page=foo) – this is relevant for both, plugins and themes. For themes then I also need the correct name defined in the stylesheet (like so Footheme).

There are still some other plugins/ extensions/ add-ons for WooCommerce out there why aren’t these included by default?

Simple answer: The settings of these add-ons are added directly to the various WooCommerce settings pages or tabs and have no anchor to link to. So linking/ adding is just impossible.

How can I customize & brand the admin bar / toolbar items?

All this could be done via our filters and constants. Really lightweight and simple. Just step up the “Other Notes” area here and scroll down to the proper section.

Is this plugin Multisite compatible?

Yes, it is! 🙂 Works really fine in Multisite invironment – here I just recommend to activate on a per site basis so to load things only where and when needed.

In Multisite, could I “network enable” this plugin?

Yes, you could. — However, it doesn’t make much sense. The plugin is intented for a per site use as the admin links refer to the special settings, plugin-support and theme-support for that certain site/blog. So if you have a Multisite install with 5 sites but only 3 would run “WooCommerce” then the other 2 sites will only see support links in the Toolbar / Admin Bar… I guess, you got it? 🙂

Though intended for a per site use it could make some sense in such an edge case: if all of the sites in Multisite use WooCommerce and have lots of WooCommerce-specific plugins in common and use the same theme/framework. This might be the case if you use Multisite for multilingual projects, especially via that awesome plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/

Why is there no admin settings page to this plugin?

This plugin has NO settings page because I believe it’s just not neccessarry. All customizing could be done via CSS styling, filters, constants and regular WordPress user roles & capabilities. As the plugin is indended for a shop manager/ admin/ webmaster use that’s the way to go. This way we can save the overhaul of an options panel/ settings page, additional database storing & requests, uninstall routines and such. End result: a lightweight system that just works and saves clicks & time :-).

ChangeLog

2.7.0 (2014-02-02)

NEW: Added full WooCommerce 2.1.0 compatibility — by keeping backwards compat for former 2.0.x branch (that will be for a certain time, not always!).
UPDATE: Changed main item link (top level directly in Toolbar) to point to Orders page — this is more expected behavior and was requested by some users.
UPDATE: Changed Order of main items: now beginning with Orders, then Reports, Products, Coupons, Settings — this way it’s more handy for daily shop maintenance work :).
UDAPTE: Updated German translations and also the .pot file for all translators!
UPDATE: Updated all user-submitted translations.

2.6.0 (2014-01-23)

New features:
- NEW: Added some new settings and resources links.
- NEW: Use WordPress 3.8 Dashicons for Toolbar (font) icon! 🙂 (Old image icon approach only for backwards compat!)
- NEW: Added essential mobile (!) support – that means: on mobile devices the main item link url switches from “settings” to “orders”, plus, only most important sub items are displayed (see this screenshot for example).
- NEW: Added plugin help tab to WooCommerce settings pages.
Extended theme support:
- NEW: Added support for “Kiosk” and “Gigawatt eCommerce” (both premium, by Obox Design)
Extended plugin extension support:
- NEW: Added language plugin support for “WooCommerce čeština” (free, by Expres-Web.cz)
- NEW: Added language plugin support for “WooCommerce (es)” (free, by Closemarketing)
- NEW: Added plugin support for “WooCommerce Pay to Upload” (free, by Patrick Garman)
Other stuff & maintenance:
- UPDATE: Updated/ fixed all settings and resources links.
- CODE: Code & documentation improvements, partly refactoring.
- UPDATE: Changed plugin’s textdomain from wcaba to woocommerce-admin-bar-addition to match the plugin’s slug!
- UDAPTE: Updated German translations and also the .pot file for all translators!

NEW: Added sub-level links for the “Integration” settings link, this way I can provide support for third-party extensions here.
NEW: Added new constant for customizing, ‘WCABA_REPORTS_DISPLAY’ lets you remove the reports/statistics items – comes in handy if you have lots of shop managers and want to customize your wp-admin more user-specific.
UPDATE: Improved behavior of constants for removing sections (or all), so that setting to “FALSE” removes stuff, and setting to “TRUE” displays stuff. (This does not affect existing behavior as explained in the FAQ but introduces ability to use the boolean “TRUE” to bring stuff back in favor of removing the code lines – great for testing purposes etc.)
FIX: Bugfix for “Pronamic iDEAL” plugin support (syntax error).
CODE: Minor code & documentation improvements.
UDAPTE: Updated German translations and also the .pot file for all translators!

2.2.0 (2012-03-23)

Woot, major updates on almost all fronts! 🙂
New features:
- COOL: Plugin can now be branded and customized a lot more!
- NEW: Added 7 filters to change icon graphic, main item name, main capability and more! For these cases there are now the new built-in filters and helper functions available! (See “Other Notes” here)
- NEW: Plugin now goes hand in hand with the official “WooCommerce Branding” extension (only if that one is activated, of course) — using custom name, icon and color scheme together! (See “Other Notes” here)
- NEW: Almost all sections can now be removed for special needs, capabilities etc. — all done via constants in your active theme/child theme — this way you can customize for your staff members if you need some more users with extended or restricted admin bar/toolbar access (See “Other Notes” here)
- NEW: Via add_theme_support you can now add all WooCommerce order status with counters to the “Orders” item — I decided to make it optional because getting the counts will need a database call, so not every admin will want this! (See “Other Notes” here)
- NEW: Via add_theme_support you can now add all frontend shop links (all special shop, cart etc. pages) to the main level “Orders” — not every shop manager needs that so I decided to make it optional (See “Other Notes” here)
- NEW: Added search form for official “WooComerce Docs” site directly to the main level (in Resources section) – note: search results will open in new window/tab!
More updates, additions and improvements:
- NEW: Added new “Tutorials” and “Community Videos” links to “Docs” item.
- UPDATE: Added proper capability checks to all plugin and theme menu items – the links are now following the same capabilities like in the original plugins/themes. So, if a user don’t sees any left-hand admin menu items the same user won’t see anything of this in the toolbar!
- UPDATE: Added an interim patch to get somewhat locale-independent reports admin urls – now for ALL locales – getting the slug strings directly from the language files of WooCommerce itself — Therefore the 3 strings (“sales”, “customers”, “stock”) should NOT be translated in my plugin language files! — Waiting for “WooCommerce” to switch to IDs for the tabs slugs…
- UPDATE: Minor code and documentation improvements/tweaks.
- UPDATE: Updated readme.txt file with new and updated documentation/instructions etc.
- UPDATE: Updated some of the screenshots (more might follow soon…)
