How to create a function

    Hello,

    On my website, we have a list of aircraft that our company has for sale. Much like an online shop, we have a page with a picture of each aircraft and a link to the product details for each. I would like to create a function so that my company can add aircraft as needed through a backend form. My guess is that I would need one function to add the pic/link to product details and another function to add the product details on a separate page?

    Here is the URL for reference: https://www.usaviation.aero/services/aircraft-sales/aircraft-for-sale/

    With that being said, I have tried to create my own function but have not had any success. When I tried to find more information on how to do it, I ended up hopelessly confused. Does anyone out there know how I can set this up?

    Your help is much appreciated.

    I’m confused. You’re using WooCommerce, so why not just use PRODUCTS->ADD PRODUCT?

    Specifically, what are you trying to do that you can’t do through WC directly?

    That would be because I had an extremely blonde moment and that thought had not occurred to me. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Steve,

    I tried using WooCommerce; however, I am looking to make more of a catalog than an online store. I do not want the “Add Cart” “Account” or “Checkout” options on the site. I tried a few different plugins to remove those options, but they all gave me an error message on the product page. Any advice?

    I’d ask about the errors in the support areas for those plugins — one assumes they *should* work correctly.

    Steve,

    I created another support thread because I have not received a satisfactory answer. WooCommerce is not going to work for what I need. I am not interested in finding an existing plugin. I need a custom function, and I need to know how to create one. Please allow others to respond with their advice before closing my threads.

    So, can you please explain to me how to create a function?

    Yeah. Don’t do that, it makes it harder for other unpaid volunteers such as yourself to provide support. Normally duplicates are deleted when found.

    explain to me how to create a function

    I can’t tell you what you really need to know. It’s a big project. I think I’d build some custom post types and custom taxonomies.
