## Description

While WooCommerce makes it easy to allow for customers to backorder items, there
is no mechanism for retailers to keep track of what orders actually have backordered
items on them.

This plugin will automatically detect backordered items for orders that are placed
though WooCommerce.

You can also modify the order meta (by editing the order) to update the Backordered
quantity, or manually add “Backordered” as a Meta Key and the quantity as the Meta
Value. This plugin will only detect orders whose status is pending, processing, 
or on-hold. Completed orders will automatically remove themselves from the list.

Version 2.0 Includes jQuery DataTables to allow easy manipulation of the output 
of the backordered items list, and allows for export to PDF, XLS, or CSV files.

Report Title is in `Ymd_backorder_list` Format. This can be filtered in your functions.
php with filter ‘dd_list_backorders_report_title’

for example:

    ```
    add_filter('dd_list_backorders_report_title', function(){return 'this_is_the_title';});
    ```

### Requirements

This plugin requires the use of WooCommerce.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * This is the main list view when clicking on the WooCommerce > Backordered Items
   admin menu item.
 * [[
 * This is the edit order on WooCommerce > Orders > Edit Order. You can modify the
   order item meta by clicking on this pencil.
 * [[
 * Once you’ve accessed the order item meta, use the “META KEY” = “Backordered” (
   or your local translation for “Backordered”) based on the official WooCommerce
   translations, and the “META VALUE” = Number of items backordered.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/list-backorders-woocommerce`
    directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
