On your plugin download page it says that if the plugin has been previously installed and there is a new version available that I should have an "Update" option available.

I don't  :P

Shall I just remove the 1.9.4 version and then install the latest one?

;) Don't you have the update option in Wordpress?
I'd check your Plugins page
or
wp-admin/update-core.php

For some very strange reason the update option just popped up on my plugins page.

All good.

There is a magic button in wordpress CHECK AGAIN

So you can know earlier if there are any updates available. Otherwise the standard check interval is about 12h.

Also on the syxtra System Info page you have an instant info what version is available and installed.

I'm going to change that info  into a WP notice. Glad it works :)

Thanks for bringing back the uncollapsed categories!

I also like the max pixel dimensions of the enlarged previews!

I still get the one time flicker when I actually reach a "product page".

Do you think it will be possible at some point to have the enlarged previews on all thumbnails of our Symbiostock sites (latest uploads, featured, similar)?

Yes @pling, looks like a touch device feature, should fix that today (32 Celsius and over is killing me)

@stockphoto-images.com new features on the way

Had no time yet to take care of the 'flicker', it supposed to work like here http://stock.imagerion.com/image/teutonic-grand-master/ - I see slow fade in. But I know what makes it flick, so will get to it soon.

Enlarged prevs on other widgets (not from syxtra) need the Symbiostock source to be edited. There is no enough information at the moment.

Wiil do, after I clear my current coding queue

Great that you know what's causing the issue. I'll take the fade if there is no other option but I don't "need" it.

On some Symbiostock sites (especially on Bluehost) loading times are a bit long and dragging out big previews with additional effects may cost us a buyer or two because it's added time until the visitor finally sees the image.

I hope this makes sense. Just having the big preview pop up would be perfectly fine (for me).

 :D

Keep up the great work!

@pling could you check my site to confirm the iPad/Link bug squashed?

@stockphoto-images.com don't worry, I'm gonna look at that. Speed is crucial for me. Some SYS sites on Bluehost are very fast and other very slow

I have been playing with this since the first release and think it is a great addition to Symbiostock - especially the latest release  (1.9.7.) which has an neat extra feature - try hovering over any of the images in the widgets on my front page or if you have it installed on your site any of my images that come up in the searches (try Dobermann) :)   It should work with all my pictures but not necessarily everyone else's (not yet anyway).

It looks very nice, but there is something for plrang to fix:
Hovering over network results display bigger image, but only in first page. After "next" it is inactive.

It may be a live content issue @ajt. Been looking for a solution yet couldn't replicate. Sometimes it was just happening. Thought it's a network issue.
Your finding should help to resolve it , thanks!

Hi plrang, just installed the plugin yesterday and need to say it is a really great improvement.
However, I noticed two things that Id like to see in future releases:

1. Ability to Display Best Of images - saw this mentioned elsewhere as well

2. The related images feature to me does not look as sophisticated as the original one by Leo - seems to look for main keywords from the latest images on downwards whereas Leo seems to build a collection from all available images which brings better results especially in larger image collections!

Thanks for taking those into account!

Hi plrang, I just installed your plugin a couple of days ago. Really like it!  Love the enlarged image previews.  I see in this latest version (which I haven't updated to yet) that the enlarged image previews contain new exclusivity and copyright information.  Is there an option to include this info or is it automatic?  I personally feel for me, that there is enough covering the photo already. Between my watermark and the max resolution of the image showing (which I like by the way) I don't feel the need to add more copyright info.  Before I update I want to know if I have a choice on what appears?  Great plugin, thank you!

@franky242

Best Of images - you mean Featured? It will be added, can't tell the date yet, but soon as always.
In the mean time maybe you'd find this feature useful: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/including-thumbnails-in-posts-or-pages/

2. it's just another version, much faster and it works ok if you are strict with your keywords. otherwise you'll have to use Leo's solution at the moment.
If you'd like to know more: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/master-tag-help/

I explained there why syxtra related work as it is and how to get 100% similar images. It's just my solution for keeping the speed and accuracy.

It may be hard to get what you need with this feature while using those keywords for sample image: http://franky242.net/shop/image/mature-man-and-young-woman-flirting/

Keywords which may be unrelated: blue, cheerful, cute, elderly,
enjoy,  fun, human, life, lifestyle, modern, portrait, Stuttgart, successful,
 white

It works for me well, because I keep reediting my keywords even after my pics was submitted to micros. It's also a SEO thing.
I know about the keyword weights etc, it's just another solution I decided to use.

EVERYTHING will be improved, I work on it less than 2 months, so I hope you can use it some way. :)

@CrackerClips - and exclusivity is currently added in network search previews (you have an empty network If I'm correct), also in the 1.9.7, you may update.
It won't show in your internal widgets, BUT it will show one day, because I like it.

Then I'll add an option to disable it. Don't worry:) I love switches, soon will need to figure out how to collect all those checkboxes without distracting the user experience.

Hi plrang, thanks for your extensive feedback.
Yes, I was referring to "Featured Images" when mentioning best of images. The inclusion in pages might indeed be a flexible way also for the homepage - however Id love for this feature to also support categories in addition to tags. Since I already have a "Best of" category or an "Architecture" category, this might be a great addition to highlight related photos.

Regarding the related images, the master tag is definitely a good addition but looking into the analytics of my site proves me right to also add these "close to spam" keywords. Sometimes even I am surprised by which keywords people end up on my site! :-)

Will wait curiously for any additions, did not mean to put you in a rush!

HI plrang, unfortunately I need to bother you again since I found out a rather disturbing thing: Your plugin seems to interfere with slideshow plugins: I currently have Slideshow by Stefan Boonstra included on the homepage http://franky242.net/shop/ to display a full width slideshow above the text. It currently does not show up and after I deinstalled several plugins I had to find out that once I turn off SYXtra, the slideshow displays. One I turn SYXtra back on, it wont. Out of curiosity I installed two more slideshow plugins, all seem to suffer from the same effect. Might this have to do with the way you implemented the enlarge function? Please tell me if I can provide you with anything that might simplify your debugging - SYXtra is updated to the latest version of today. Thanks...

"Sometimes even I am surprised by which keywords"

I know that, it's pretty funny sometimes;) Well, you can always have some fun in  the description.

Please give me other names or links, gonna check it out, although I am not disabling any third party features and do not install any external libraries.

Slideshow by Stefan Boonstra and ?

I also installed Cnhk Slideshow and Meta Slider, none of them seem to work with SYXtra activated - Id guess it has to do with the way you handle images but this is just blind guessing...

The problem is it works on my site (at least I see it)

http //stock.imagerion com/slide-in-post/
http //stock.imagerion com/slideshow-test/


Have you cleared, disabled the cache while doing changes ?

UPDATE: it's working, confirmed, links removed http://www.microstockgroup.com/20077/20077/msg336807/#msg336807

Yes, I did. Strange, I can see your sliders as well. Do you see mine? http://franky242.net/shop/
