Take advantage of my work (store templates)

  • Hey folks. If you are like most of us WordPress users you find some of these plug ins a mystery. It’s a bunch of gobbeldygook looking code that makes little or no sense. If you are lucky you have a mind that eventually sees that the code means but if not you are at the mercy of those who do this sort of thing regularly.

    Making Catablog work as a store:
    1. add photos
    2. create categories
    3. Move photos to categories and take them out of “uncategorized”
    Edit title, price, description, item number, etc.
    5 Create 3 (or more) galleries exclusively for your store use. I made “FS-color-size” for items that come in different colors and different sizes. FS-color for items that come in one size but have different colors, and finally FS-size
    6. Select and move your photos into their respective gallery.
    7. Go to templates. Create 3 new templates, and name them store-color, store-size, store-color-size.

    Copy and paste this code into your “store-size” template

    <div class='catablog-row %CATEGORY-SLUGS%'>
	<div class="catablog-images-column">
		%MAIN-IMAGE%
		%SUB-IMAGES%
	</div>

	<h3 class='catablog-title'>%TITLE-LINK%</h3>

	<div class="catablog-description">
		<p>%DESCRIPTION%</p>
		<p>Price: $%PRICE%</P>

	</div>

    Again edit your pertinent info, change sizes, or colors, etc. Click save template.

    NOW comes the fun part.

    8. Go to pages and create a new page. I named this ‘test store’ because it’s not live yet.

    Here is the exact code from my “test store page” Your gallery ID numbers will be different. 

    <p style="text-align: left;">[catablog_gallery id="448" template="store-color-size"]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">[catablog_gallery id="447" template="store-color"]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">[catablog_gallery id="446" template="store-size"]</p>

    Click publish to save then View page. You should see your items from each of your “FS” galleries with the pertinent size and or color info, along with your price, description, title etc and the every present Paypal button. ??

    If you want to have 2 columns be sure to follow Mbrsolution’s tutorial for creating columns.

    Hope this helps some of you… and good luck.

  • Hi Sylvia, great explanation ?? I am sure someone will implement your idea.

    I might create a tutorial from the above and give you all the credit by adding your name and website URL.

    Since this is not an issue but merely a tutorial. Can you mark this support thread as resolved.

    Thank you kindly.

    That’s fine. I thought I had marked it as “not a support question.” I guess I didn’t.
