Sounds good. Thank you for the prompt reply.

Hi David,

It would probably be preferable to make this a separate plug-in. I am sure that I am not the first and only person to require the ability to bulk update descriptions and prices (and other attributes) on business web sites.

I think you could do an excellent job of this. Please do not hesitate to ask me for any clarifications.

Hi David,

How do I formally make the suggestion?

Just to make the issue clear, I would like my input data to be in the form of a flat file (text or MS Excel), or SQL query, which may have, for example the following fields:
– Item Name
– Image Name (This could be the Key field)
– Description
– Price
– etc.

I would want to be able to attach any combination of the fields, apart from the Key field to the image caption and/description.

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for your advice.

I hope it is not too late, but I think this is pertinent to the current thread.

I am building a web site for our small business, which has hundreds and thousands of items for sale. The items are displayed as thumbnails on the page and each thumbnail is accompanied by a caption which is comprised of a short description and the price. The description and price are sourced from an accounting programme via MS Excel or text files.

If I have write the captions manually, one by one, it will take years to do and drive me crazy. Can MLA update all the captions in a batchwise process using a *.txt or *.xls file for input?

The images and the captions are of different products. The captions are a short description and price of each product. The captions are to be sourced from an accounting programme via text or MS Excel files.

Hi rdellconsulting,

Yes!! I have finally succeeded – basically by doing exactly as you suggested. Thank you.

Hi rdellconsulting,

I converted a pdf that we received from a graphic designer into a png file via IrfanView. I cannot determine from the IrfanView web site how the background in this file can be defined as transparent.

Thank you ElectricFeet. It works! You are great!

Yes that works. Thank you ElectricFeet.

Hi Seahawksean,

Lastly, if you want to get rid all the copyright info you can just delete this line:
add_action( ‘__credits’ , array( $this , ‘tc_footer_credits’ ) , 10 , 2); which is at the top of this same file.

Hope this helps

I cannot find this in my class-footer-footer_main.php

Hi everyone,

I think I have stumbled onto a solution – a work around actually. While working on the CSS changes and checking results on my computer, nothing seemed to alter the site.

By chance, I was working on another computer and decided to look at the site I was trying to build. Lo and behold the changes in the CSS file came through. On returning to my original computer and checking out the site, I found that the web page was unchanged.

I suppose it has something to do with the difference between a normal user and the site administrator.
