R.W. Elephant Inventory Gallery

Screenshots

This plugin displays a gallery of your R.W. Elephant rental inventory. The inventory is updated in real time via the R.W. Elephant API. To use this plugin you will need an R.W. Elephant account. The gallery appearance is customizable. Using the settings page on your WordPress Dashboard, choose the name for your gallery and the location you want it displayed on your site. You can choose one of the included template designs or customize your own. You can also select the thumbnail size and which social sharing links to display on your items. Customizing Templates When modifying templates, create a rw-elephant-templates directory under your wp-content directory (/wp-content/rw-elephant-templates/). Then place modified templates directly in this folder, not in any sub-folder. You may copy from /wp-content/plugins/rw-elephant-inventory-gallery/templates/common/ or any of the included templates). Only copy template files you wish to modify; if a template does not exist in the rw-elephant-templates directory, the default will be used. Moving the template location outside the plugin directory prevents future updates from overwriting your modified templates. The gallery is displayed on the chosen WordPress page by inserting it into the content of the page. If you wish to change the appearance of the page beyond the content area, such as to change the page width or change the way the page heading is displayed, change the page template in your WordPress theme. To select a different WordPress page template (if your Theme supports multiple page layouts): Pages->Edit->[Select your gallery page]->Template. You can modify or make a new page template by editing your WordPress theme. Normally you will want to use a full width page template. The R.W. Elephant Inventory Gallery uses its own templates for the layout of the gallery pages. You can modify the provided templates. A template named custom with minimal styling is provided if you wish to use it to build your own template design. The gallery templates use placeholders which are be replaced with the appropriate gallery information when the pages are displayed on your website. The included templates are located in the /wp-content/plugins/rwe-gallery/templates/ directory. In this directory you will find sub-directories named for each template style. The individual template files are located in each sub-directory. Some parts of templates are shared. The shared templates located in the common template directory. Do not modify the templates in this location (they will be overwritten when you update the plugin!). Instead place modified templates in /wp-content/rw-elephant-templates/ as described above.
