HI Marcelo,
I am so sorry for the super long delayed response. I appreciate your patience and hope that one of the solutions below work for you.
Right now there is no built in way to turn off or disable the LightBox javascript code, except to turn the LightBox feature itself off. You may turn the LightBox on and off in the CataBlog Options panel under the LightBox tab. If you wanted to toggle the LightBox feature before and after making new catalog items, then you would effectively be removing the code at the bottom of the page. This works by turning on LightBox before adding any new items to your catalog, then turning LightBox off afterwards, which will stop the script from being rendered at the bottom of your page. You are now free to create your own JavaScript call to
catablogLightbox()The other option would involve hacking the plugin, I will document it here but do not suggest anyone hack the plugin directly. On line 111 of the CataBlog.class.php file in the lib directory is a line of code that should be removed or commented out. Simple add two forward slashes at the beginning of the line of code and the script will no longer be rendered at the footer.
// add_action('wp_print_footer_scripts', array(&$this, 'frontend_footer'));I will have to add a way to let people edit this script in the LightBox options, perhaps in the upcoming release.

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support Forumnow that I look at the available options it would seem to me that
imagefilledrectangle()would be the safest option for filling the image with one color. A rectangle would have a defined size instead of doing a flood fill, which stops at a different colored pixel. Any thoughts out there about this?http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagefilledrectangle.php

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumSo, after looking into it, it seems that your server’s version of PHP or GD or was not liking the
imagefill()command. I was able to replace it withimagefilltoborder()and it now works on your server. Functionally they are doing the same thing, I will need to look into this bug and address it in the upcoming monthly release.Keep in mind that you now have a hacked version of CataBlog on your server, the CataBlogItem.class.php file has one modifications in the generate thumbnails function where
imagefilltoborder()is called instead ofimagefill()If you haven’t already, please rate and confirm that CataBlog is working for you at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catablog/

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumHi Ray R,
I have not heard of your problem before. I assume you are simply setting the background color to white,
#ffffff, and clicking the ‘Save Changes’ button on the bottom of the CataBlog Options page.Perhaps you could email a login to your site’s admin panels and I could take a look at the admin interface. Thanks for your interest in CataBlog and hope to hear back soon.

Hi msaari,
CataBlog is a cataloging tool that allows people to basically make stores, galleries and well catalogs.
The ShortCode implementation of CataBlog is pretty straight forward, a string of HTML is returned in the add_shortcode() hooked function. It does not generate any <style>, <embed>, <object> or <script> tags. A user could type those tags into a catalog item’s description I suppose. I would assume the returned string is being indexed by your plugin, so I don’t see what the problem could be.
I have yet to test this myself, but plan to look into this as I really enjoy your search plugin and want it to work well with CataBlog. Let me know if you find anything out yourself.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Title not lining up with thumbnailThanks for the tip 108graphics, I’m especially glad you posted here at the wordpress.org forums.
However, I’m unsure if you made the change directly to the plugin’s stylesheet. If you did, I would suggest adding your CSS class modifications into either your theme’s stylesheet or a catablog.css file within your theme’s folder. This way if you want to upgrade CataBlog in the future you won’t overwrite your modifications.
An example modifier class to put in theme stylesheet:
.catablog-gallery.catablog-row .catablog-title { bottom: 11px; left: 11px; }Again, thanks for supporting CataBlog and WordPress by posting this tip 🙂

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumHi ferreirajl,
I’m currently working on the multiple category filters feature, the ability to use multiple terms in a custom taxonomy was just recently introduced natively into WordPress 3.1 and I plan to integrate it into CataBlog with a future release.
Thanks for your interest in CataBlog, if you have time please rate and confirm it works with your version of WordPress at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catablog/
Hi funkoolow,
I have not upgraded relevanssi to version 2.7.4 yet, so I personally have not had a chance to test compatibility. One thing I would check is that the ‘Expand ShortCode’ features stayed enabled after the upgrade. Also you may want to ‘Build the Index’ for your site in relevanssi again. As far as I know this is not a new bug in version 1.2, as search works on the official blog which uses CataBlog 1.2 and relevanssi 2.7.3. Good luck and let me know what you find out.

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumI haven’t had any time as I have been way to busy with paying clients. Perhaps you could email or post your CataBlog Template code so I may look at it in my spare time. My guess is that the problem lies within the template code itself.
By the way, the next update to CataBlog should be released early next month.
I am not a hundred percent sure but I believe if you either open a csv file that is exported from CataBlog or create a new csv file (not xls or xlsx) then Excel should handle all character escaping like quoting cells that contain commas automatically.
Hi Marcelo507,
I’m glad you are enjoying CataBlog, here are the answers to your questions.
1. TypeError: $ is not a function
I believe this may be due to a javascript conflict, I have not heard of or experienced this problem myself. It would seem that the jQuery library is not loading or it’s dollar sign shortcut is not registered. Can you please try disabling all other plugins except CataBlog and try regenerating images again. Also your theme maybe the problem and I would suggest switching to TwentyTen and seeing if it works. Also are you using a supported browser? In the plugin FAQ I state that the admin is only tested in Firefox3, Safari, Chrome or IE8. If you are using another browser I would suggest you try switching to one of the “main” “modern” browsers I listed above.
Also keep in mind that regenerate images is for recreating thumbnail and LightBox sized images from the image files found in the catablog originals folder. This means that your originals folder should contain all the image files that correspond to the image and subimages columns in the CSV file.
2. CSV not importing entire file
When you import what does the console say? Does it list each of the 1000 records as they are created? Does it list each category as it is created? Are you clearing the catalog before importing? If it indeed is stopping at a certain item I would triple check the CSV syntax on that line, their is probably an error. Also their is no limit on how many categories are created from a CSV import.
3. Do I have to create one CSV for each category?
No, this is unnecessary. Please refer to the import documentation for an example CSV formatted file. Please make sure you are using the vertical bar “|” for separating categories and not commas “,”.
4. Is the order field per category or overall.
The order field is currently for the entire catalog. This most likely will be removed and or changed in a future version of CataBlog, especially since so many people want catalogs with thousands of items in them. Custom reordering a thousand items easily isn’t very feasible with any interface.

In reply to: [TRUEedit] [Plugin: TRUEedit] BrokenOkay, version 1.2.2 is out and ready to be used. It should actually be stable. Again, really sorry about this one. I’m gonna close this ticket.

In reply to: [TRUEedit] [Plugin: TRUEedit] BrokenThanks, I’m on it and just committed version 1.2.2 which should fix this.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Show buy now in gallery view lightboxIf the example below looks completely new, you might want to make sure to empty your browser’s cache and reload the catablog options page, sometimes the new templates aren’t loaded and you are loading an out of date template. That being said, if you are indeed using the latest version of gallery template then it should be a simple as putting the %BUY-NOW-BUTTON% token into the catablog-description div.
Example:
<div class="catablog-row catablog-gallery"> <a href="%IMAGE-FULLSIZE%" %LINK-TARGET% %LINK-REL%> <img src="%IMAGE%" class="catablog-image" width="%IMAGE-SIZE%" alt="" /> <strong class="catablog-title" style="width:%HOVER-TITLE-SIZE%;">%TITLE-TEXT%</strong> </a> <div class="catablog-description">%DESCRIPTION%<br />%BUY-NOW-BUTTON%</div> </div>I hope that works, otherwise there most likely is a glitch or bug.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] How to change order of items?I am going to set this topic as resolved as I think a solution to the reordering issue has been discovered. Thanks for your input and I hope I can make this change in the upcoming small bug fixes release, 1.2.1.
