You can use CSS to set the display property of the images to none and then use the first-child pseudo class to then turn the display property to block for just the first catalog thumbnail. Try adding this code to your theme’s style.css file or a catablog.css file in your theme.

html body .catablog-catalog .catablog-row .catablog-image {
  display: none;
}

html body .catablog-category .catablog-row:first-child .catablog-image {
  display: block;
}

Quick question, where exactly were you getting the out of memory message? I am guessing when uploading new images? Are you using the flash uploader? Did you try uploading images without the flash upload? I am trying to narrow down what part of the plugin needs optimization. Thanks

Lets keep in mind that WordPress itself is pretty greedy when it comes to memory, still its amazing what you can pull off these days with only 32MB of ram. I do not know what you pay for hosting, but I highly suggest a VPS for WordPress, it makes a world of difference for your site, especially when administering it.

Hi ironfenix,

So I am not sure exactly how you would get single CataBlog pages to work with your blog’s page structure. Typically I would say that you need to make your entire hierarchy in CataBlog, but it doesn’t support hierarchical categories. So how to do this….

My first thoughts are to build the breadcrumbs your self in the single-catablog-items.php template file. Can you use the CataBlog item’s selected categories to figure out what the product’s breadcrumb trail is? If so some custom PHP could do the trick.

Oops, let me clarify that we are talking about the ‘Scan Originals for New Images’ function and not the ‘Add New’ CataBlog Panel. Currently there are no controls for that script. Again this is a good condadate for a future feature.

There is the CSV and XML import, one could write their own little script in PHP or Python to scan your image files in the folder and make a CSV file with the appropriate date. Then, simply upload the images to originals, import your CSV file, and re-render your library.

So far, no one has requested this feature and it isn’t exactly what I would call expected behavior, since all the catalog items are actually being made on the same day. What if my work flow was to upload images, regardless of there creation date, in the order I wanted them to show up?

To implement a feature like this would require adding a control panel or a switch in the ‘Add New’ CataBlog Admin Panel. Sounds like a cool feature, unfortunately it won’t be going into the next release. The paginate_links() function will be making it into the next release coming out soon though.

You upload media through the ‘Add New’ CataBlog Admin Panel and ‘Add Sub Image’, not the description field. If you want to add media into the description you should manually add the appropriate HTML.
