Who wants a progress update?

I got the network feature working! Its wonderfully simple. I'm working on some login / account stuff, and whatever bugs manifest here and there.

My unsung hero which has been testing and looking things over and reports that it installs great, no errors, good code. There are a few concerns regarding some features we'd assume should be there (like image browsing) but I'll be selling a plugin for that. :D.

Also I haven't exactly had a torrent of help regarding a licensing system, so I'm trying to get some help from some wonderful contacts on that frontier as well, which might delay its release a bit.

As you know, even if this is a test build, its still the foundation and will set the pattern for everything, so I want all the important stuff to be done right.

Kona it's looking great, I really can't wait to get my hands on it. I think this is going to be a winner for you (selling plugins etc for it) and for us all.

So incredibly keen to get my own sales platform happening with this....

Here's another visual update. Finally you can see how networked search results work. As mentioned, you can see your network's search results under your own, nice and organized, with some visual branding as well and the name of your network.

I still have some things to fix, but coming along.

Hey Sean!

Here's an easy task, if anyone wants to do it...its just time consuming :D.

Categories...You don't have to use them. Totally optional. But the theme does have its own special category/taxonomy. On Install I'd like to run a function that creates a bunch of categories similar to what you see around microstock.

If anyone wants to give me a nice comprehensive listing, I'll add them to the installer. Like I said, not hard, just tedious.

(ten minutes of work once I have a list)

Good start anyway. I don't want to extract a list from one agency though. If anyone is up for it maybe we can add and subtract categories based on the years of experience everyone has. Once its fairly certain I'll put it into the installer.

Thanks, I'll keep monkeying with them and see if I can't add a few unique to Symbiostock, something self-hosters might use.

Great. As people keep thinking of any "universal" ones that are definitely needed, tell me at any time until release and I can keep adding them.

Here's a nice preview of easy installation, categories and pages automatically created, and some category / keyword management you no doubt recognize in wordpress:

Great to see how it all develops!

I sure hope that we aren't going to be stuck with any kind of category list as I find them useless and a waste of time on the micro sites.

OK, if there HAVE to be categories

-Travel
-Landscape (or Rural Places as opposed to Cities/Places)

are still missing.

How's movie, Leo?
