wp-content/plugins. now reinstall catablog like you did in your last message.Please mark this thread resolved when you get it working, thanks 🙂

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Catablog "select images" button disappearedI hate to ask this for fear of exposing my plugin is at fault, but does the regular Flash WordPress Image Uploader work with your host?

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog UpdateI would export your catalog into a CSV and XML file (both formats just incase) then do the upgrade. If everything works, great. If not, you can replace your library by importing the CSV or XML files.
It would be smart to use both formats, just incase the format changes between versions, it can’t hurt. Don’t worry about the images, you can of course copy a backup of them into another directory, but the upgrade will not affect them. Good luck

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Enable Individual Pages and Category Archives ?1) The public option does not create any WordPress pages, it is just as easy to disable them as it is to enable them. So your are incorrect in your assumption.
2) For the current moment the CataBlog Galleries are only compatible with Shortcodes and do not integrate directly into your site via the Public option.
3) Turning the Public option on adds your catalog items into the native WordPress Search. If your theme is properly configured it will show individual catalog items based on the catalog item’s title and description. Keep in mind that the search feature will not work with the price, product code or other meta data though.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Clarification On Theme Integration neededIntegrating CataBlog into your theme is pretty straightforward, as you know there are two theme files, these files are akin to other standard theme files. When you write WordPress themes you use specific files for the different contexts throughout your site.
One standard view is the Single Post and another is the Category Listing. When the CataBlog Public feature is enabled, you get two new contexts, Single CataBlog Item and CataBlog Category Listing. These files are used to render permalinks that look something like
mysite.com/catablog-item/catalog-item-title. These files can render anything you want, they comprise of HTML and PHP markup tags. I suggest using single.php and taxonomy.php as a starting point for your CataBlog theming.Single CataBlog Item File:
template file: single-catablog-items.php
similar contexts: single.php, page.phpCataBlog Category Listing:
template file: taxonomy-catablog-terms.php
similar contexts: taxonomy.php, index.php, search.php, category.phpOnce you have the theme integration files in place you can use PHP tags to get CataBlog specific metadata, such as the thumbnail url, price, product code, etc. Soon, I will post here the code that will let you do this…until then have a good one.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Weird spacing problem with CatablogThe css classes are generated by CataBlog and inserted into your document’s head section in a style tag. This is done to help aid the dynamic sizable thumbnails.
To override a settings is simple enough, just make a rule that has a higher precedence in another stylesheet, like your theme’s style.css file. something like this should do what you want:
html body .catablog-row { height: 100px !important; }I’m not sure which property you are having trouble with, or which browsers you are trying to support. The height of
.catablog-rowis a little overly complex at this point, but it was made that way to better support Internet Explorer 6 & 7. Good luck 🙂Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Plugin is missingI can tell you haven’t activated the plugin because the Shortcode is being displayed on the page you linked to. Try going to the plugins section in your WP Admin and activating CataBlog. If you do not see CataBlog use the install plugin feature and search for it.
Good luck

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Catablog "select images" button disappearedThere is nothing out of the ordinary, as far as using a Flash uploader is concerned. There are serious security implications when using Flash to upload content though, and your host might very well be blocking it for that reason. I would recommend trying another server or reading up about configuring your server for Flash upload, here are some links to get you started:

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Sorting products on category menu widgetI think what you want to do is put the WP Pages with your the catablog gallery shortcodes into a drop down menu. WP has features that can facilitate this for you, for instance making a Menu with the specific WP Pages you want and then using the Menu Sidebar Widget.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Catablog category item display issueIt is definitely a CSS issue, I would recommend playing around with Firebug or Firebug lite, which may be installed on your site temporarily for use in old versions of Internet Explorer. You may also install any Microsoft developer tools there are for your version of Internet Explorer, IE9 comes with these built in 😉

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Images won't upload?I ask you to remove other plugins because a WordPress plugin that is poorly authored may cause all sorts of bugs throughout the entire site. Since I do not know which plugins you have, I simply ask you to temporarily disable all of them. This is also true for any custom theme you may have. If there are problems, you should try the TwentyTen theme temporarily to see if it is your theme causing the bug.
Now to your issue, where don’t the image show? The CataBlog Library in your WordPress Admin? The front-end (visitor/customer facing side) of your website? If you are trying to view automatically generated category pages have you check that the public option is enabled? It may be found in the Public tab of CataBlog Options in your Admin Panels.
Good luck.

In reply to: [CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Catablog "select images" button disappearedNo idea, it sounds like an environment problem, have you tried on a different server, a different browser, different internet connection? It works fine for me and lots of other people, so I am unsure what exactly the issue you are having is…so sorry.
