<p>Adds basic support for external products to WooCommerce<br />
variations/variable products. This plugin allows you to define an external<br />
URL on any variation and will then open that link when the user<br />
clicks on the <em>Add To Cart</em> button. Because the Javascript is used for this,<br />
any adding to cart that is done via the backend such as with APIs will not<br />
redirect properly.</p>
<p>Note that as of 03/2023 this plugin is not longer under active development.</p>
<h4>Shortcode support</h4>
<p>This plugin provides two shortcodes that you can use within your site:<br />
1. [wcev_product_attr] – allows you to display an product attribute, use the “name” attribute to find the right attribute.<br />
2. [wcev_var_field] – allows you to display a custom field, attribute or data element for a variation, use the “id” attribute to point to the right field.<br />
The order of precendence is as follows: custom fields, attributes, then data elements.<br />
3. [wcev_var_postdate] – displays the formatted post date and time for a variation, doesn’t take attributes.</p>
<h4>External SKU and status fields</h4>
<p>In addition to the external URL field, a second field called “External SKU” is provided for each variation.<br />
You can set this field and then use the provided shortcode to display it.<br />
The purpose is to track the external SKU separately from the internal one.</p>
<p>There is now ability to specify the ‘Add to Button’ text in a specific variation. If the global setting is set, the variation-specific field will override it.</p>
<h4>Settings</h4>
<p>To change settings, go to WooCommerce Settings -> Products -> External Variations. The following are available:<br />
* Ability to change if links open in new or same window<br />
* Ability to change if links open when the ‘Add to Cart’ button is clicked or when the variation is selected<br />
* Ability to override the ‘Add to Cart’ button text for all external variations</p>
<h4>More Details</h4>
<p>Please note that this plugin has only been tested in a vanilla WordPress / WooCommerce<br />
installation without any other plugins. If you have other plugins that modify<br />
the functionality of the <em>Add to Cart</em> button, this plugin may not work or<br />
cause unintended consequences.</p>

<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<p>When the number of variations exceeds 30, the plugin stops working. This is due<br />
to a WooCommerce limit and can be bypassed by using a filter as described here:<br />
