The front page gallery is perfect. I still need to do some tweaking with the other galleries, but just wanted to mark this one resolved. Thanks again, Patty byron on "Limit # of characters in a custom field ?" http://smashly.net/community/topic/limit-of-characters-in-a-custom-field#post-3245 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:11:42 +0000 byron 3245@http://smashly.net/community/ Hi CS, The tags are wrapped in a SPAN element. They probably need to be in a DIV element in order to affect the height (not sure, but a guess). So, you could try changing the Custom Layout to use a DIV instead. See if that works. Feel free to contact me via email if you'd like to send me the code to take a look at. Cheers, Byron chowstalker on "Limit # of characters in a custom field ?" http://smashly.net/community/topic/limit-of-characters-in-a-custom-field#post-3235 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:05:05 +0000 chowstalker 3235@http://smashly.net/community/ Thanks Byron! I know you are a busy man!! I adjusted the height of the description so that it displays a little cleaner on the card. If I could do the same for tags, that would be a good enough workaround for now...but something is taking precedent over any changes I try to make to tags (I'm working in chow.css) I can change the font color with "!important". But I cannot change the height or width or margin of the tags field. Any hints on that one? byron on "Limit # of characters in a custom field ?" http://smashly.net/community/topic/limit-of-characters-in-a-custom-field#post-3234 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 19:03:22 +0000 byron 3234@http://smashly.net/community/ Hi CS, I'm not sure that there are any easy workarounds in the meantime. I'll try to get that new version together soon. As for the forms, if you're doing a textbox, try maxlength=25 . If you're doing a textarea, it won't limit how many characters you can type, but you can set the size with textarea_rows=4 textarea_cols=40.

In the mean time, do you have any suggestions for dealing with the "spillover" that happens on the cards when submitters enter a description or too many tags? Also, I added [description length=25]to the custom form, and tried various numbers, but the length of the field didn't change on the form. Thanks for all your help!

I will try to add that functionality to an upcoming version, though. You would specify the length in the custom form field like this: [description length=25] Cheers, Byron chowstalker on "Limit # of characters in a custom field ?" http://smashly.net/community/topic/limit-of-characters-in-a-custom-field#post-3180 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 15:54:50 +0000 chowstalker 3180@http://smashly.net/community/ I want to limit the number of characters that can be entered in a custom field (description)on a custom form so that the description doesn't get cut off on the display. How would I do that? Thanks! byron on "Display images that are sorted by a custom field" http://smashly.net/community/topic/display-images-that-are-sorted-by-a-custom-field#post-2504 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 02:16:31 +0000 byron 2504@http://smashly.net/community/ Katie, You'd have to do some custom code to make that work with using a Custom Field. The easiest thing to do would be to use Tags for your venues. Then you could just show a tag gallery. You can even have a dropdown box of tags if you do a custom form...just use: [tag_dropdown] - drop down lists for tags - [tag_dropdown tags='my,tags,go,here' selected='my'] Hope that helps!

I have another question and am hoping you can help again! (or anyone else that may be able to?) Background: 1) Website is a not-for-profit site for local artists to advertise their 'gigs'. (beta is here: <a href="http://mywebdots.com/clients/elephantbean/wp/)" rel="nofollow">http://mywebdots.com/clients/elephantbean/wp/)</a> 2) Users upload their GIG poster - using custom fields. 3) Visitors can then browse website to see what's on in any given month. Question: We want visitors to also visit a page that shows ONLY posters that go with a VENUE. (eg: GIGS BY VENUE) (one of the custom fields in the upload image form). - Can't get it working....can you perhaps point me in the right direction. I've played around endlessly with the custom layouts etc - but to no avail. (Byron - I previously emailed my login details to you on Sept 23 or 24 - depending on what hemisphere you're in) Cheers Katie (mywebdots) byron on "Adding Google Analytics event tracking" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-google-analytics-event-tracking#post-2013 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:40:31 +0000 byron 2013@http://smashly.net/community/ welcome. elizabethanne on "Adding Google Analytics event tracking" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-google-analytics-event-tracking#post-2005 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:05:59 +0000 elizabethanne 2005@http://smashly.net/community/ ah, an interesting point in a good direction, thanks! i have never tried doing something like that before but i will look into it. thank you! byron on "Adding Google Analytics event tracking" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-google-analytics-event-tracking#post-2003 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:23:59 +0000 byron 2003@http://smashly.net/community/ Hi EA, Could you add thad onclick through jQuery after the page is Ready()? if you had your custom field link in a span with a class like, span class='analyze_me', you could run those links through a jQuery function and add the .click() routine to them. Other than that, I'm not sure how to do it. BB elizabethanne on "Adding Google Analytics event tracking" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-google-analytics-event-tracking#post-2002 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:53:07 +0000 elizabethanne 2002@http://smashly.net/community/ hi byron! hmm. i don't think that would work, because the onclick isn't on the whole element, just on the href inside the element. so my custom field is [photo_credits]. a sample photo credit might be (hopefully this doesn't get filtered): <code>created by <a href="http://www.smashly.net">Smashly</a></code> so when i call [photo_credits] in my layouts editor, i would need it to output <code>created by <a onclick="javascript:dosomething" href="http://www.smashly.net">Smashly</a></code> hopefully that made sense? thanks! ps - for whatever reason my "subscribe to topic via email" isn't working... just wanted to let you know. :) byron on "Adding Google Analytics event tracking" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-google-analytics-event-tracking#post-2001 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:31:22 +0000 byron 2001@http://smashly.net/community/ I'm not fully understanding the question...Could you just put the onclick in your custom layout? Instead of using [thumb], build the whole like with href='[custom_field]' onclick='dosomething();' BB elizabethanne on "Adding Google Analytics event tracking" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-google-analytics-event-tracking#post-1991 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:27:51 +0000 elizabethanne 1991@http://smashly.net/community/ hi there! so in doing some random testing, i found that my google analytics outbound link tracking isn't working on links inside the photosmash custom fields. not sure why, but i was wondering if there was a way to add the javascript to the links? basically what would need to happen is that any time a link appeared in the custom field, it added a onclick javascript event that we can specify. let me know if that was confusing! thanks! byron on "Adding additional Custom Fields with the Images" http://smashly.net/community/topic/adding-additional-custom-fields-with-the-images#post-1606 Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:49:03 +0000 byron 1606@http://smashly.net/community/ FM, I think this got cleared up over on that other thread...let me know if not.

This is one of the coolest things about PS. Go to the PhotoSmash Settings page / Advanced tab and turn on "Show Advanced Menu Items:". Then you should see Custom Fields, Custom Forms, and Layouts Editor. You first add the fields to in Custom Fields. Then you can add them to a custom upload form or even show them in the standard form. To display them back, do that by creating a custom layout in Layouts Editor. You can display custom layouts by either selecting them from the drop-down in Gallery Settings or adding layout=my_layout_name in the shortcode. Let me know if you get stuck!

That is just what I needed. I did not know about do_shortcode .. that is very handy! "magic fields" is actually the name of a plugin, they are similar to custom fields but I guess not necessary if I do it like this. Thanks! byron on "Putting the short code into a custom field" http://smashly.net/community/topic/putting-the-short-code-into-a-custom-field#post-1225 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 03:28:53 +0000 byron 1225@http://smashly.net/community/ Thanks, Zac! I appreciate the comment! If by "magic" fields you mean you can feed it some PHP and it will execute, then you're in business. I have no experience with magic fields, and very little with custom fields. The PHP you'd need would looks something like: <?php echo do_shortcode("[photosmash]"); ?> That will display the gallery that is linked to the current post in the Loop. If you know the Gallery ID (say you had a variable like $customfield['gallery_id'] ), then you could: <?php echo do_shortcode("[photosmash id=" . $customfield['gallery_id'] . "]"); ?> I don't know what variable you would have for the custom field. But that's the basic format for displaying the gallery. Hopefully that gets you started. Let me know if you've got other questions on it.

The way my template is, it is all broken up with a bunch of custom fields (actually "magic" fields) displaying different bits in their own little frame. To work with this layout I would need to keep Photosmash separate from the main post content. Is there a way to call the gallery id in another way than the shortcode in the main HTML editor? Thanks for all of your work on this Byron. It is really one of the best plugins out there :) byron on "single custom field / multiple uploads" http://smashly.net/community/topic/single-custom-field-multiple-uploads#post-1119 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:30:48 +0000 byron 1119@http://smashly.net/community/ Cool.

You can create any custom fields you need, but they get reset after uploads (I don't think drop downs get reset, so if you're using a dropdown for your category field, you may be ok. On the front-end (not in Admin, which uses the WP uploader), users can upload 1 image at a time, but they don't have to keep coming back in the form after each one...just select the next image and upload. At some point I may give an option for telling whether a field gets reset or not, but right now they automatically get reset...but dropdowns may be ok...not sure.
