Leo,

When new Symbiostock theme updates are available, will we be alerted inside of Wordpress just the same as we are with conventional themes and widgets? And will there be a 1-click update? That would be great.

Dan
You just look at the theme and it will tell you the version number you have and the one available. It says "update" regardless of whether your current, but pushing the update button will automatically install for you.

I think I found a minor bug:

This is what I filled in in my backend:

Home Location:   Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
Temporary Location 1:   Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada (in July 2013)


And this is what my authors page shows:

Home Location:   Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
Temporary Location 1:   Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
FIXED

I have loaded 10 sites in my network page... then did a search on my site for Water.

I was very impressed with the speed.

But ( always has to be a but) the no 9 and 10 sites displaying on my page are the same site, but loading at different speeds/ times.

I assume ( though I have not confirmed this) that one of my sites does not have any images that fit the search.

BTW very impressive Leo  well done.

Just to confirm you had the last two be separate sites on purpose? Or is it duplicating?

But they will load at different times since two separate requests are being made and thats probably how your site responding...one after another.

Glad you like. AJT was a big part of that system.

I have installed 2.2.7 to my stockimages.kerioak.com site (and disabled the test site from the network).    I cannot work out what I am doing wrong but I cannot access my "author page" - it goes straight to the front page of my site

Edited to add - in themes it still shows the Beta version (even though 2.27) and not the arti-burdock logo shown on the test site - not sure if this is relevant so will mention it anyway

This was a plugin problem: WordPress SEO

I use the same one without problems, so there is probably an author related setting or some sort of rewriting happening. This might be the case with other instances of "no author page" being reported. Stands to reason - you set up SEO YOAST options before the author page existed. Might just need to reset it.

The last 2 sites ( #9 http://www.picturemojo.co.nz and #10 http://shaunwstock.com) are different but #9 http://www.picturemojo.co.nz displays twice.  I checked #10 http://shaunwstock.com does have images with the search term ( water) but the site was not displayed on my site.

I have done a couple of test searches:

1. Before, even if my network people had no images, their logo appeared. Now, it seems like only those that have an image that matches the search shows up. Is this correct? Makes sense, if so.

2. I searched for the term hot dog. I have several images with the both the keywords hot dog and hotdog. Mine come up under hot dog, but not if I search for hotdog. Also, I know at least one of my network peeps has an image that was keyworded hot dog, which is why I searched, but their image did not come up.

Are there still issues with search?

if there aren't any resukt it doesn't show the site any longer

however, when I do a search on my site for 'dog' it correctly says there are no pix , but it doesn't do a network search - it does show the network directory box

--
when I  search for 'food' it works as expected

Still working out various little kinks.

Search has been far improved from what it was before but there are still a few little wordpressy quirks to amend. Will be fixed soon. The bigger challenge of this project has been working with wordpress's search methods. I feel temped to make a dedicated symbiostock image table just to cater to the unique search needs.

Someone is helping with it btw. For me its just another detail.

Long story short though things are generally "ok" except for hot dogs. :D

All of that is fixed as you mention. This is the only time this will happen - for child themes you must recopy the files u modified from the new theme vsn and then remod them.


I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean I have to remodify all of the CSS in the child theme again?
Sorry typing on a kindle makes things harder to explain, especially when it modifies all your spelling :D

The biggest inconvenience most people will experience is if you built a child theme and modified templates. NOT css...css remains unaffected. but if you copied single-image.php to your child theme folder to modify it, you will have to do those modifications again or you will be lacking certain things.

I haven't seen many people complain on this but you can be aware of it :D. If you have the ability to modify a child theme on its template files I suppose you'd probably anticipate that.

installed 2.2.7 to live site
cascoly-images.com/pix

footer info is gone -- I had my adwords & google analytics tracking in there as text

the home page comes up way down the page -- instead it shows error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home1/cascolyi/public_html/pix/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/symbiostock_author_box.php on line 24

also shows other network sites, and
Symbiostock Network
Symbiostock Network Directory
how do  I turn those off?
-----

cant do anything on network page except create my csv -type address that I now suspect isn't updated to 2.x; entered farbled and that gave me the csv, but now no place to add another network site

---
if the site entered has no card, and error message should display
----
extended directory page is empty
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/symbiostock-network-directory/

-----
is there a way to get datasheets created for my 1500 existing images?


I see you fixed some things? Let me know what the problem is. It shouldn't generate errors.

WHen you upgrade it will remove some of your footer stuff. Just put them back (find them in the un-used widget area) and they should stay put with future upgrades.

I didn't build a child theme or modify any templates. I didn't copy single-image.php to my child theme folder or modify it. I simply took Clean Theme and made changes to the CSS. After I uploaded 2.2.7, all of the CSS was back to Amanda's default CSS (in the Editor window). All the CSS that I modified in editor window (child) was gone. I had to redo it all. This time I copied it into Text Wrangler to save, though.

No problem. I have plenty to do. I'll keep testing and see if I run into any other problems.

I'm getting the following error messages when I edit a picture and publish it. Also when I check the "update all existing images with new values" check box on the Author Settings page.  It didn't seem to effect the images, they appear to have processed fine, but it does take me to blank page without any links or tabs to get out of it.  Any thoughts on what's causing it?

Is your watermark set properly? To a link that has it? Copy/paste it into your browser just to make sure.

I think that's fine - it shows up on four new images uploaded today.  I had the error messages on three of the four updated and when I did the "update values" process too.  I'll can try copying and pasting the watermark info in again to see if that makes a difference.

So where did we end up? If you want you can set me up with an admin account and I can look at it.

I had some time so I thought I would work on this.... and it is getting strange... I now only have 9 sites.... # 10 http://shaunwstock.com has disappeared out of my list...but when I do my search now I have 10 sites, with the last one just showing the ladybug and the spinning colours, not a repeat of #9

Does this mean that my #10 site is off the net?  I can still go directly to the site:http://shaunwstock.com

That may have solved the problem.  The link I pasted in was the same as the one it was replacing and the watermark had appeared on the uploads that gave the error messages but when I just did a new test upload I didn't get an error message. 

Edited to add - I just realized it happened after I published, not after processing to drafts.  I'll go publish now and see if the problem is solved.

OK - I didn't get the error when publishing the test image but when I did the "update with new values" under the author options I get the error message about 180 times.

Sending you a PM...

mostly unchanged -- I still get those extra features on my main page & I cant add anyone to the network after the first.

footer was minor problem & seems to be ok now

I follow this to look for 'Update' but I can't find the 'update button" in my theme, attached is the screenshot of my theme page.
