Suggestion for widget and book grid display options

    Hi there, I have started to use the widgets on my site and notice they don’t have an option for aligning the cover image (left, center, right, none). It’s simply cosmetic but could this be considered for a future update?

    Also, with the book grid display, when showing all books, if a library has hundreds of books to display the page would get too long. Could an option possibly be added in future to select how many books to display on a page before choosing “next” or “show more”? I understand this could be a difficult undertaking and may not be possible but thought I would ask anyway 😉

    Thank you for a terrific plugin.
    I know you have put it on your list what KiwiElle asked for which is aligning the cover image on the sidebar widget. But is there an interim fix that we could do in order to center the cover image in the widget?

    thanks,

    The image in the widget has the CSS class mbm-widget-cover. The text of the book title in the widget has the CSS class mbm-widget-title. So you could use CSS on those classes to affect the alignment.

    I think I found the file that has those classes, book-widget.php. But I don’t want to stuff up the code so I guess I will just wait until you release a fix for it. Will the ability to center the cover and title be in the Mooberry Book Manager Customizer plugin when you release it?
    In the meantime I wanted to make a small donation but I couldn’t find anywhere to do it. Could you provide me a link to donate using paypal?

    No you don’t have to touch the php code. You need to add CSS either in your theme’s CSS file or if you have a “custom CSS” option on your dashboard. You would have to know CSS. If you don’t know CSS you can google how to center images with CSS.

    Yes ability to set alignment will be coming in the future. Don’t know when yet.

    Thanks for your offer to make a donation. I will look into getting a donate link set up.

    I managed to get it working. It’s amazing what chimpanzees can do these days 🙂

    .mbm-widget-cover {
    display: block;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    }
    .mbm-widget-title {
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    }
