In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] access images directlyblogatom,
The strange format you are unfamiliar with is a serialized PHP array, the notation allows PHP to rebuild the object with all it’s variables and data intact. You may serialize and un-searlize any data you wish with PHP, look online for more information.
You may also use the built in WordPress function get_post_meta to get the data array from the database, this will most likely be the most efficient method of data retrieval.
<?php get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'catablog-post-meta', true); ?>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: catablog 1.2.9.8 and LightboxThere are no errors in the recalculation of thumbnails from the JavaScript side as far as I have tested, perhaps your server is running out of memory or you are using an unsupported browser…

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Admin account w/o permission??Is there any possibility that you are using two different admin accounts, one which is not a full blown admin but just an author or something. Just a thought, other wise not really sure why this would be showing up.

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumOne easy way is to use the border option in CSS to draw different colored borders around the HTML objects you think might be causing the problem. I can’t really teach you all the workings of CSS, but it shouldn’t be to hard to do some searches on google.
I would look up things like “IE double margin bug”, “css inline-block” and read about how to use the display property in CSS to get what exactly you need.
If you are still lost and need more help, please send me a link along with a detailed description of how to reproduce your error.
Cheers

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumHi JoeMD,
Your problem is most likely a CSS issue, I would look into tools such as Firebug to help you troubleshoot your page’s stylesheets. In particular look at HTML objects that are floating and perhaps not being cleared or being cleared to soon. Good luck

In reply to: [CataBlog] link image to same link as item titlesRedwall,
so the %MAIN-IMAGE% token will create an anchor tag as well as the main image, instead try something like this:
<a href="%LINK%"><img src="%IMAGE-THUMBNAIL%" alt=""/></a>Cheers and good luck
Hi donnambr,
Would it be possible to send me a link to an example page that I could look at. Most likely a CSS issue or bug, but it’s hard to tell without having the actual page to work with.

In reply to: [CataBlog] When will catablog work in IE9?Strangely enough it works on my version of IE9, I believe this is a security feature of Windows and or IE9. Can you try lowering your security settings and trying again thanks.
Again I am using a base install of Windows 7 with IE9. Nothing fancy, no real custom apps, just an empty install of Windows 7 using VMWare on my Mac.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Upload ErrorIt is most likely due to the flash uploader. You may disable it by turning off JavaScript in your browser temporarily. A future version of CataBlog will let you configure if the flash or standard upload is used.
Have you looked at the official blog, there is quite a bit of documentation there. http://catablog.illproductions.com/
Also I am unsure why you have had so many problems on your web server with CataBlog. The permissions should be set automatically if you have your web server properly configured.
My guess about the import only doing 15 items at a time is because creating each catalog item takes a lot of database hits and your server might be underpowered for such an operation. This is due to WordPress and its code and performance, not CataBlog.
Have you tried running the CSV import script on a local server (WAMP, XAMP, MAMP)?
What errors, if any, are reported when the import fails? Can you turn on PHP error reporting on your server if it is off?
Are you sure there are no syntax errors in your CSV file? like absolutely triple checked everything sure.
Thanks again for your interest in CataBlog and have a wonderful day.

In reply to: [CataBlog] Sub Videos and shorcodes with catablog items resourcesGot you, I’m sorry to say that I don’t see this feature being added anytime soon, as there is no way that I see to leverage WordPress and their work on Shortcodes into this custom implementation of Shortcodes within CataBlog. Meaning that it could be a significant amount of work. First I would like to implement some Widgets, a new template system, and a gallery feature that lets you create collections of catalog items. I’ll keep you posted and in the meantime you can always copy and paste the location of the thumbnail into your description…

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Link to the next item in the same category?Not sure if you have already checked out this page, but if you haven’t you should: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link
The third parameter in
next_post_link()lets you set wether it should be in the same category or not. I am unsure if this supports custom post types, but it is worth a shot. Good luck.Try something like this:
<?php next_post_link('%link »', '%title', true); ?>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CataBlog] CommentsCurrently, you will have to hack the plugin to make CataBlog support comments. In the CataBlog plugin folder there is a file labeled CataBlog.class.php inside a directory labeled lib. Line 213 of this file should be updated to this:
$params['supports'] = array('title', 'editor', 'comments');This will enable comments for the CataBlog custom post type, but I am unsure if this will actually create the comments interface in your site’s theme. You may have to add code to your CataBlog Single’s PHP template file. Good luck and let me know if you are successful at enabling comments. If it is this easy perhaps I will add a checkbox in the options interface to add comments into the supports array. Cheers

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] feature suggestion: category renameGot it, sounds like a very reasonable feature request 😉

In reply to: [CataBlog] Catagory list with countsWith built in WordPress PHP functions you may achieve something like this. I am planning on releasing an update that adds a few Widgets, including one for doing exactly what you want.
