    Ideally there would be a limit parameter for the Shortcode….right now there isn’t. I am planning a “stable production” release of CataBlog 1.3 for the summer (vacation!) and this feature is slated to be in there….so keep your fingers crossed and you should have any easy way to limit the number of results per page.

    In the meantime you may create a second or third set of categories for the page that is displaying to long. For instance, if you added a category of “page1” to the first 10 items and “page2” to the next 10 items you could easily create two pages in WordPress and filter your catalog by page1 and page2 on their respective pages. These categories would be in addition to your current catalog categories.

    I hope that was helpful, let me know what you do and good luck.

    Hi xane_777,

    First off I would never directly edit any file within a plugin’s folder, instead add the CSS styles to your theme’s styles.css file or to a separate catablog.css file inside your theme’s folder. If you edit the catablog.css file within the plugin folder, and then later upgrade the plugin, your customization will be lost.

    Now for the line breaks, in CataBlog Options there is a description tab that has two check boxes. Make sure both the nl2br and WordPress filters check boxes are unchecked for your situation.

    Good luck.

    Your welcome Chris. All I ask is that you tell your friends whom would be interested, perhaps like the facebook page and please rate and confirm that CataBlog works at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catablog/.

    Good luck with the client 😉

    You only want to override the specific CSS properties that you need to change, not all of them. Try putting this code into your theme’s styles.css file or create a catablog.css file in your theme’s folder. Never ever directly modify the plugin’s catablog.css file, as your changes will be overwritten the next time you upgrade.

    .catablog-gallery.catablog-row {
      border: 1px #000 solid !important;
    }
    
    .catablog-gallery.catablog-row .catablog-title {
      height: 100px !important;
      background: purple;
      opacity: 0.1;
    }

    Also, if you haven’t already, please:

    EcoMom,

    Nice, I’m glad to hear. I just added a message above to you as well, I should have done that in the beginning.

    Was wondering what exactly do you mean by previous version in that path? Are you referring to the installation of the entire plugin? I think the WordPress Plugin Repository is a bit slow sometimes to offer the automatic updates.

    Also, if you don’t mind, could you test the multiple file upload in a couple of the browsers you use on a day to day basis? Are you Windows user? If so which version?

    Thanks again and thanks for offering support to other CataBlog users! That is truly awesome of you.

    thenyefactory,

    Thank you for reporting the error message. I have looked at the code and patched what I think was your problem. My guess, you have WordPress installed in a subdirectory of your main domain, mydomain.com/wp/. The upload script should now work on all WordPress setups. Could you please give CataBlog 1.2.9.7 a test and see if your problems are fixed. Thanks again for being a tester for me.

    oh and EcoMom, if you want to test it out too that would be wonderful. I really need to verify it works on as many setups as possible before I move on to more new features.

    EcoMom,

    If you have a spare moment, it would be awesome if you upgrade to CataBlog 1.2.9.6 and try the multiple file upload again. What error is reported in the JavaScript alert box when you try and upload? Maybe you could even copy and paste it here, just for my documentation and understanding of the problem. I would do it myself but have not come across the issue on my servers/browsers.

    I am unsure why you are experiencing this problem. The upload feature works great on my test and production servers. A new version of CataBlog was released this morning that will hopefully help illuminate the problem with better flash upload error messages.

    Please upgrade and try again, reporting your finding here.

    Thanks.

    Hi Chris,

    To answer your question about were CataBlog stores its data, CataBlog uses custom post types so your catalog items and categories will be in the standard WordPress posts, post_meta, terms, term_taxonomy and term_relationships tables.

    As far as your problem goes, can you please email or post the HTML content of the page you linked to originally. I need the HTML content from the WordPress editor, with Shortcodes and other WordPress specific hooks in place.

    My bet is that under “Sam Shen Rogeri Willow 3/4” will be a CataBlog Shortcode that filters by a non-existant category. Simply make a new category with the same name as the “Sam Shen Rogeri Willow 3/4” Shortcode and your problems will be fixed…

    Hi Chris,

    I am curious if your client has entered a category into the Shortcode that does not correspond to a category in CataBlog. To make a category simply open any CataBlog entry and use the category controls in the lower right of the form. Here is the deal.

    When you use CataBlog you have one central catalog, or library. You may categorize your items in this catalog, but it is all one catalog. Their are not multiple galleries like NextGen Gallery. You may choose to render your catalog however you wish inside a post or page with the Shortcode. If you want to limit the catalog items that are being displayed you may add a category filter to your Shortcode. Just because you set a category filter does not mean the category exists in your catalog. Currently WordPress 3.1.3 returns the entire library if a non existent category is used in the Shortcode, this is a bug. In WordPress 3.2, no items are returned because the bug has been fixed.

    I hope that made sense, if you have more questions and you haven’t already done so, you should make sure to read the documentation at http://catablog.illproductions.com/documentation/.

    Cheers,
    – Zach

    1.2.9.5 has been released, I think it will fix your problem with the %PERMALINK% token.
