In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Upload Error?May I ask who your hosting company is, maybe I can do a little research and see if there is a better way to setup CataBlog and WordPress.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Upload Error?Loading a 1.24MB JPEG image will result in PHP needing a lot of memory, way more than 1.24MB. This is because of how image compression works, PHP must load the image, decompress it, scale it, and then save it. My server has 128MB assigned to PHP, for 1-3MB photos. Make sure your server respects the settings as well, some shared hosting environments put a cap on memory, regardless of what you configure. The CataBlog About page can be useful for seeing how much memory PHP actually has. Also, CataBlog has no imposed upload limits, it is your server that sets those limits.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Single Page, rather than PostYou can achieve this by copying your theme’s page.php file and naming the new version single-catablog-items.php. Read more about integrating CataBlog into your theme at Displaying Your Catalog in Posts – Theme Integration

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] SyntaxError after setting colorOk, this is a good start.
First off, CataBlog does not officially support SeaMonkey, but it seems that it would be very similar to Firefox. Would you mind trying other browsers to see if that is the problem.
Also, when does the message appear? After you selected a color with the mouse, what did you do? did you save your options? Did you look at other option tabs? When does the message appear, after saving? What admin pages does the error appear on, just the CataBlog Options page?
If you do not check keep aspect ratio, than you could not see the color in the preview. You were only changing the color behind the preview image, which is scaled to fill the entire preview area. Is this what you wanted? why? Please, check keep aspect ratio for a visual explanation and to see the selected color in the preview.
I did not write the color picker widget, that is called farbtastic, which is part of WordPress, Drupal, Twitter and others. I don’t think the color picker itself has this bug.
So, I haven’t seen this message before and after hearing about it from you and trying to recreate the situation that causes the bug, I still haven’t seen it. I need to be able to recreate the bug to fix it. Has anyone else seen or experienced the error message reported above? If so please help by explaining exactly what you did to reproduce the error.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Paginate my gallery!Ok, I understand not wanting to enable the public option, it isn’t for everyone. Thanks for pointing me at the pagination function, I played with it a little bit and it is not working right now out of the box, regardless, this is a step in the right direction. I’ll try and fit the first and last page links into an upcoming update.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] originals folder errorThe message you are getting is a failure response from an AJAX call to render a catalog item’s images. There is one AJAX call per library item, so multiple responses are definitely possible. This happens every time you change certain thumbnail and lightbox options. It should only happen after you click save, but I imagine if you upgrade from a very old version, say before the height field existed, that it might re-render the library the first time you open the options panel.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] originals folder errorPlease Note: These error messages are not a bug and are not related to the UI bug in the remove script for CataBlog 1.5.
So this message is most likely being displayed when regenerating your catalog images. It could also be displayed when you upload a new image. When are you seeing the message?
You are getting this message because CataBlog uses the original uploaded image to generate thumbnails and lightbox versions, and the original uploaded image cannot be found or read by the server.
- double check that the appropriate image file is in your originals folder
- I would also check that the server can read the file.
- try viewing the original image in your web browser directly
It is also possible that you have old catablog entries that are causing this error to be reported.
It is also possible that you imported catalog items without copying the corresponding original image file to the server.
These folders on your server are important, the catablog folder is where all uploaded images and templates are stored. Inside that folder are three folders for storing images: originals, thumbnails and fullsize.
catablog folder /home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/ catablog original images folder /home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/originals/ catablog thumbnail images folder /home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/thumbnails/ catablog fullsize lightbox images folder /home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/fullsize/Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Paginate my gallery!First off, I do not know which built-in pagination function you speak of, do you have an example or link to a page in the WP Codex?
The CataBlog Shortcode pagination, which was added recently, gives the ability to limit how many catalog items are shown per page. It has a simple navigation UI, that may be styled with CSS, but it does not have a jump to last page link. Perhaps this feature will be added at a future date.
I think that you might want to consider using the Public option, which will make archive and single pages for your catalog categories and items. These pages may be rendered however you like by making specific theme files for both. Read more about integrating CataBlog with your WP Theme at Displaying Your Catalog in Posts – Theme Integration

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] syntax error on Remove Catablog dataThanks for find this bug and reporting it here, I will get working on a patch to fix this.
bug description:
CataBlog 1.5 has a UI bug where a server returned JSON string is improperly formatted, causing a Javascript alert. This is a syntax error in the parsing of UI messages, but not the actual delete functionality, which should be working fine.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Regenerate didn't change thumbnailsThere are a few reasons your images may not be rotating.
1. Browser cache
I would make sure that you empty your browser cache and reload the page by holding the shift key on your keyboard and clicking reload a couple times, just to make sure you aren’t viewing older cached versions of the images.2. Image orientation meta data
If your images have meta data describing their orientation then CataBlog will respect that meta data and rotate the image accordingly. This works great for pictures you took with your digital camera, as they all have this meta data. If the orientation meta data is incorrect, or maintained after a manual rotation, CataBlog will still respect it and incorrectly rotate your image.The malformed hexadecimal error is due to your problem setting the thumbnail background color. Please go back to the CataBlog Options and try setting the color again.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] originals folder errorPlease go to the CataBlog Options Systems Tab and click the remove button at the bottom. Once everything has been successfully removed go back to the Library page and CataBlog will reinstall all the necessary folders.
If you have difficulty running the remove script please make sure that Apache/PHP/WordPress can read, write and execute files and folders in the
wp-content/uploads/catablog/folder.You can also manually delete the
wp-content/uploads/catablog/folder using FTP and let CataBlog automatically make the folder again.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Image CompressionCataBlog already compresses the thumbnail images with the JPEG format, it is not a lossless compression scheme like smush.it, but it does reduce your thumbnails file size drastically.
My only real suggestion would be to get in touch with the developer of WP Smush.it and see if they will add support for CataBlog, I do not see myself adding smush.it support to CataBlog anytime to soon, other features are going to take precedence.
Good luck

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] SyntaxError after setting colorI tried but was unable to reproduce this error with the steps you outlined above. Can you please be more specific with the exact step you performed to get this error message.
When you selected the color, did you use the mouse?
Was the keep aspect ratio checkbox checked? If not, why change the color, are you using images with alpha channels?
What browser, os and versions are you using?
Who is your hosting company and what version of PHP is installed on your server?
I haven’t heard of this problem before, I would like to fix it, but I cannot reproduce it, so that makes it impossible for me to fix. Looking forward to any help reproducing the error message.
Glad to here, cheers 🙂
