The LightBox picks up whatever is inside the catablog-description div, so if you put the price inside that div in your template then it will show, something like this:
<div class="catablog-description> <p>%PRICE%</p> %DESCRIPTION% </div>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Create Sidebar Menu Showing Products?So your sidebar would look something like this:
-CataBlog Widget 1
– Widget Title (Category Name)
– WIdget Settings
– Make sure category is set to the appropriate category name
-CataBlog Widget 2
– Widget Title (Category Name)
– WIdget Settings
– Make sure category is set to the appropriate category name
-CataBlog Widget 3
– etc…You can also make you own CataBlog Template to control what exactly is rendered, a text link, an image link, an image with a title and description, its up to you. One downfall of this method is if you have hundreds of categories you will have to spend some time creating all the widgets.
CataBlog currently does not go through each category in a loop displaying the items in each category hierarchically, in any context.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Create Sidebar Menu Showing Products?Can you use the CataBlog Widget instead of the category widget and make the title of each widget your category. Then you may use the template system to render your products however you want, one category at a time. Good luck

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Any way to change sorting?Yes, in the Library Admin Panel you may click the date field until it shows the newest on top. Using the Widget you may set the order field in the Widget form. For the Shortcode you simply use the sort and order attributes. Read more at Displaying Your Catalog in Posts

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] can't see descriptionThe name of the product appears when you hover over the thumbnail, you may want a different style CataBlog Template than the gallery one. Perhaps start with the default template and make your own. Read more about Making Custom Templates.
As far as the LightBox is concerned you are experiencing CSS issues with your theme. You can read more about overriding CSS properties for CataBlog at these pages:

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Image transparency (PNG) not preservedCataBlog turns all thumbnails into JPG images, which unfortunately do not support alpha channels. You can change the background color with the thumbnail options.
Can someone resolve this topic? I cannot.
FYI, CataBlog 1.4.4 now registers both shortcodes on the admin side as well, allowing Relevanssi to expand and index CataBlog shortcodes. Yay! 🙂
Of course, that makes so much sense. Thanks, I’ll release a patch for CataBlog that fixes this issue soon. Cheers 🙂
ChadAustin, what exactly do you mean by category information? do you mean catalog information? Are you using the Public feature in CataBlog? If so, you should tell relevanssi to index custom post types too.
msaari, any ideas about why the CataBlog Shortcode isn’t being expanded and indexed? CataBlog uses the standard WordPress add_shortcode() function for implementation.

In reply to: [GigPress] Problem Sorting GigPress ShowsSo the problem wasn’t with multiple shows on the same date not being ordered correctly, I understand the behaviors of MySQL when ordering by date and time and how it may decide to arbitrarily order two items that have the exact same date or time.
My problem was when I had group_artists set to no and all shows from my 3 musicians in 1 of 3 tours. Each tour was for each musician, such as this:
tour A – musician 1
tour B – musician 2
tour C – musician 3It seems that Gigpress completely renders tour A before going on to render any of the shows in tour B. I am not complaining about this, in fact it is exactly how I would expect it to behave if I sit down and think about it.
So GigPress “appeared” to ordered the shows by artist, when in fact it grouped the shows by tour and ordered them by date. Here are the date ranges for each tour, as you can see tour 2 contains shows that happen before the last show in tour 1.
– tour 1 (feb – april)
– tour 2 (march – april)
– tour 3 (march – april)My solution was to delete the tours, since they were not necessary for my client and voila! all the shows are no longer grouped by tour, just what they wanted.
Thanks for the awesome plugin!

In reply to: [GigPress] Problem Sorting GigPress ShowsNever mind, I figured out that it was the tours that were causing the wrong order. If you have a one to one relationship of artist to tour, you will cause the sorting to do tour_name than show_date, which looks very similar to artist_name than show_date. Especially when you are hiding the tour information. Ha 🙂
