    Hi Maeve,

    Thanks for the reply – yes, makes sense. My only concern in using the standard WP database structure would be the ease of import/export for a large catalogue. Having a separate database might be more manageable for us. But I will definitely give WP Catalogue a more serious look, as I generally like the layout. I wish it was more easily searchable and filterable, like a more typical catalogue site (search term produces filtered results in same layout – similar to result if ticking a particular category)

    In terms of import/export – do you have provision and standard template example of import via CSV vs. having to create XML file?

    Thanks!

    HI All,

    I’d echo this request – easy to use search capability, limited to the catalog items is important, and having the results displayed with the picture as in the grid is important too. It’s really a key-word filter as much as a search. Being able to maintain all the catalog formatting, but have it filtered by presence of keyword would be great.

    Nevermind – found it. Very simple to do. WP-Filebase v3.0.01

    Under Dashboard, WP-Filebase, Manage Templates

    Edit the Filebrowser template and just add the fields needed.

    Great plugin – looking at licensing the Pro version.

    Hi Michael,

    The issue is likely that their server clock is off – if it has drifted enough, the auth token won’t work.

    Have them set their server clock and all should be good (eg. on Ubuntu server: sudo ntpdate time.nist.gov)

    I’ve run into this before with Smugmug auth

    Maybe others know this already, but double check one thing that helped me – WordPress remembers the last selection of the ‘Visual’ and ‘HTML’ tabs on the main editor. The admin page with custom fields WYSIWYG editor only displays the WYSIWYG controls if the ‘Visual’ tab is selected on the default editor. Try and select ‘Visual’ tab and reload the page

    HI Simon,

    Thanks for the response – makes sense.

    If you do decide to pursue it, Ryan at pancake.org might have insights from his work with Zina and the embedded player he uses. What would be really cool (for me 😉 ) is if you guys joined forces and were able to jplayer-ize Zina 😉

    Anyway, thanks!!

    Hi Simon,

    Thank you for your work on this plugin – i am a big fan of Zina as an MP3 music manager, but unfortunately it only has a flash-based embedded player. (I’m hoping Zina’s author will use Jplayer in the near future)

    In the meantime, and for pages where I don’t need all the complexity of a library tool, your plugin is great to create a solution that works for mobile and traditional devices.

    However, there is on thing that Zina and some other players do that I think would be wonderful if you could include – wouldn’t it be possible to just read the ID3 tags in the MP3 file for title, artist, etc. rather than having to add these as custom field for each song?

    Thanks!

    Solved: In my case anyway. The same automatic upgrade operation succeeded when I used FTP (using proftpd) rather than SFTP (ssh) all other things equal.

    Don’t know why the SFTP/ssh operation should be any different, but alas, we’ll just use FTP rather than futz with it.

    Since we don’t have public FTP access open to our environment anyway, this is low risk. We simply start proftpd to enable the update process and then stop it when we are done.

    The FTP access used by WP Admin for the auto upgrade is strictly a local operation (think ‘web process logging in via FTP to same box’) and essentially used to gain the elevated permissions of the FTP user rather than the default apache user. A sudo workaround sort of thing.

    Same issue here as with quiescere:

    Could not copy file: xxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.9.1/wordpress/wp-includes/js/codepress/engines/khtml.js

    thoughts?
