Don't know about everyone else, but I am getting a bit lost in some of the threads as to what the current issues & suggestions are (opening another thread might not help!). Rather than getting a big discussion going, how about getting a simple list of remaining quirks/issues/annoyances/suggestions to help Leo and the gang work through them all?

Here's mine:

UPDATE: I have numbered them all, NOT for importance but so Leo can simply say "numbers 1, 7, 15 are done and can be crossed off" and I can simply update them with a strikethrough

1 Fix the bug where the same image appears on multiple pages when browsing

2 Remove the redundant links to the license that existed before the new Licenses tool (e.g. on the customer account page)

3 Remove the Standard License blue bar that appears BELOW the Download button (not sure why it's there, see here for example: http://thpstockphotos.com/image/first-light/ )

4 Remove the words "Supporting Files" that appear next to the Zip option in the product table

5 Remove the brackets around the Price column on the product table eg: ( US Dollar ($) ) - remove both lots of brackets, just US Dollar $. When zip files are showing, these brackets get a little funky with the css and aren't really necessary anyway

6 Finish making either the base theme or the paid plugin FULLY responsive and mobile friendly - e.g.: the search bar & menu. Menu shouldn't have to be in the footer for it to work on a mobile device.

7 Add (perhaps in the paid plugin?) the ability for a couple of extra file sizes - XL, XXL, and make it so that file sizes only show up if the file meets the requirements for that size, which the author sets in admin

8 Allow the batch editor to only update options which have CHANGED, not just update EVERY option on the screen. eg: you could batch alter licenses, without altering a batches price or ranking

9 Make the Download button bigger (uses bootstrap I think, can just go to the next size up)

10 Add Sort options to browsing pages (newest, oldest, most popular etc)

11 Remove the "Images/Blog" drop down menu next to the search box by default. Can have an option to turn it back on if people want?

12 Slightly alter the text thats been created with extended licenses, where it shows something like this on the product table: "15.00+90.00 105.00", just space it out a little and replace the arrows with equals "15.00 + 90.00 = 105.00"

13 Allow the "Append Text to Title:" section in the Symbiostock admin/batch editor work on a per image basis. Eg: You could append "- Stock Photo" to stock photos, and "- Stock Vector" to vectors, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

14 Allow the licenses to be editable if you need to change something, such as upgrade price for EL's

Requested by Cascoly
15 Collections need to be more self-explanatory and simple.

16 Search Tracking should be implemented. (Base theme?)

Requested by DonLand
17 Images that are assigned categories but are not published are not shown when searching by a category.

18 Everything should be able to be added/removed in the bulk editor, such as Exclusive and Categories.

19 Need the ability to search for Drafts in the bulk editor.

20 Need the ability to search by Day in the bulk editor.

21 In the bulk editor the search parameters should be selectable there, i.e. search keywords, search title, search description.

22 When searching for keywords the search should auto fill from the list of all the keywords.

23 The search return number should default to last used value, not 48.

24 Need to be able to drag to select images in the grid. Much too labor intensive to click on every image chosen from search selection.

25 The drop down category search menu should not show categories that are empty.

Requested by Cidepix
26 The Cart Manager needs to be officially implemented and completed. (It was started for premium, now it should be installed as part of package).
sale stats by day, week, month, year?

27 download expiration

28 Display file id's to customers option

Requested by tdahl-stock
29 Ability to assign one value to selected images instead of all-values. (Seems to be same as #8 above)

Requested by jsfoto
30 one minor thing:  I would suggest to delete the vertical line that separates the licenses (in my case standard and extended license) - if the vertical line is removed can the different licences be each on their own line (otherwise button can be on line line and licence description on the next if three or more licence options) <-- addition by Keriok

31 one which is important : We can set Model and/or Property Released when editing an image ... this information should be visible on the Single image pages (perhaps as part of the description?) Option to publish the release statuses of an image on the image page, visible to the potential customer

32 I would appreciate the possibility to add a short text (in addition to hashtags) to a tweet in the batch editor of the premium plugin.

Requested by AJT

33 New field in symbiocard - checksum (md5_file) of current symbiostock_image_info.csv

34 Cookie cart - VERY IMPORTANT (CAPS added by microstock man)

Requested by Redneck
35 Either in "Edit" image or in the Stocl Images sub menu -> Link to Drafts (for faster editing/processing)


Please try and read through the list before suggesting things as some are already doubling and tripling up. Thanks.

I know some of these are minor things, but the cleaner the theme the better for the buyer.

I think some of your points are only valid for the Premium plugin - which surely have their own room for improvement I suppose but since I don't have the Premium plugin I cannot replicate certain issues you mentioned.

For example you said to get rid of the blue bar below the download button - I don't have that on my site (still using 2.6.4 though). No idea if this is a 2.6.5 feature or Premium plugin-related...

Anyhow, I agree that some things will always have to improved, as long as new features are being implemented it's obvious.

I just wanted to point out that bug reports like yours might better be addressed individually instead of having everyone posting "their" bugs into the same thread.

You already brought up so many things (some of which aren't even bugs for me) that for others it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to actually find a bug that affects most of us.

I don't know if this makes sense.

Like you, I'm having a hard time staying on top of the latest developments and I've become hesitant to install updates right away, not knowing if it might "break" my site to the extent of a major wipe out.  :o

I see your point. I guess this isn't meant to be a BUG thread as such, more of a "how can we clean up/streamline/improve things". I think I only mentioned one actual bug, the page display one. The rest are more quirks or small visual improvements that cut down on clutter and redundant items (if that makes any sense)

Basically, what little things can make the theme look and feel totally polished?

And yep you're right, many of the things I have mentioned will only apply if you have the premium plugin.  :)

It's a tough call for some of us - or the ones who started early on with the birth of Symbiostock.

Many had to fiddle with code, add 3rd part plugins with features that become redundant with newer Symbiostock versions. My head is spinning.

I kept the customization of my site quite low - got rid of the blog/images selector via CSS so that's about it.

I don't want to upset anyone, but I feel quite comfy in the back seat at the moment, letting others vent about their bugs of the latest releases and wait for the bug fixes.

- Remove the Standard License blue bar that appears BELOW the Download button (not sure why it's there, see here for example: http://thpstockphotos.com/image/first-light/ )


It disappeared when I set 0.00 beside the file sizes when creating the standard license ... it only appears when you leave these fields empty. If you want to have the standard license left, the extended license on the right side like it is now you must delete both in batch editor, than create standard with 0.00, than extended with your values and reapply them to the images.

Hey guys you haven't lost me. I'm just patiently working out some of the "rare" issues with the paid plugin that some indviduals end up with. When people pay for something it obligates you to a higher level, which is why I've spent so much time on the individual issues between Jean, jsnover, and a few others. Once thats caught up these threads will have my attention and then its on to some more refinements.

I'm right there with you. Once we finalize a few last details and bugs I want to give this one last big polishing.

I'm undecided, but I was thinking of converting over to bootstrap 3 and adding every possible wordpress supported feature as well, then finally just walk away.

I know it sounds bad, but actually once this has been "sealed" the only thing we should do is just keep up with adjustments as wordpress and web evolve.

One last comment before I turn in...

The only purpose for this project was to make image sellers independent
. Its technically meeting its goal. Getting over-ambitious is only going to stress people out and keep them tired (me especially). This project was born directly as a result of the Google Getty deal and was basically a practical response to signs of impending doom on our livelihoods.

I think this thread is very timely and good. Its time to put a final seal on this thing and let it do its job as mainstream image selling continues its course downward.

While I personally had some plans for a larger picture of Symbio, its probably best to let it idle for a nice long time. Its quite complete and effective already.

Im calling it a night too, but thanks for chiming in Leo. Glad to hear we're on the same page with this. You've (and the others) done an AWESOME job with this. Just thinking that 9 months ago this was not even really in existence is incredible.

I really like the bit I've put in bold from your quote. This will be essential.

I look forward to hearing what other suggestions people have for polishing Symbiostock up a bit.

I'd like to see the extended licenses each appear on their own line as well.  It would be much cleaner looking if you have multiple additional licenses. In addition, it would be great if the Standard License button was selected by default and if the licenses themselves were editable.

I just realized something else.  I'm trying to set up multiple extended licenses for different things (ie. Extended Print Run & Products for Resale) where a customer might want two or more different extended licenses at the same time. As of right now only one extended license at a time can be selected.  Bummer.

Microstockman, please add this to your post (bottom) and perhaps you can update (important) issues as people post them. This is going to be my last/final reference in getting Symbiostock finalized and settled for the long term. Both premium and base version.

FEATURE REQUESTS AND REFINEMENTS

I will do my best to get to these as they are appropriate or achievable. As Cidepix says, premium is different for everyone. Thanks for purchasing. Free upgrades! Lets keep building.

Thanks. Hopefully when microstockman comes in he can add everyone's suggestions. I'll do my best to add them at this final point.

Also I don't see a huge distinction between Symbiostock "Premium" and "Base Theme" so don't worry. Both will get attention as needed. I'm just happy to not have to live off of my own fat cells to sustain this thing :D

Also to keep people from going through update shock, what we're going to do is have this cute little branch opened up here:

https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/tree/metamorphosis

... so anyone who wants to cash in on new changes can do so freely, while others enjoy stability.

Typical "testing" till stable stuff. Over the course of this thread we're going to take our cute caterpillar and turn it into a butterfly.

On version 2.6.5 I have noticed that images uploaded since this update no longer display the "Leave a Reply" at the bottom.  I have always had it turned and older images display it.  Looks like a small bug.

Managed to find some time to get that list updated.

Leo, you poor bloke, there are 35 up there already! There is a bit of overlap in some, so please everybody try and read through it first before suggesting something. Thanks heaps.

I will try my best to keep it relatively up to date.

Leo - just email me or PM me with the numbers you have completed and I will cross them off as we go if that suits you?

I don't know if this is too hard to achieve but as mentioned somewhere else, I'd love to see the "Similar Images" widget being disabled on "Collection" image pages.

Something like this just looks like total image overload and I can see it confusing potential buyers: http://picturebreeze.com/stock/photos/image/pregnancy-collection/ .

Not to mention that showing lots of duplicates doesn't look very professional either.

Hello everyone. Here's a VERY IMPORTANT initial update on the base theme.

First, a WARNING: Do not install this unless you are ready for the quirks of a major overhaul, and a few adjustments on your end.

See this example on my website: http://www.clipartillustration.com/

Download: https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/metamorphosis/symbiostock.zip?raw=true

What's going on here is we are finalizing Symbiostock for the long haul. Simplicity, minimal, professional. Out of the box.

We've put in the modern bootstrap 3, and along with many other perks the whole theme is 100% responsive, no questions asked.

EDIT:

The objective here is that the theme should be a simple blank slate, with plenty of flexibilty for modification stylewise. On the other hand, with no modifications, it should come off as a no-nonsense simple image store.

Looks good Leo. But JTLYK, on my iPad, your logo and anything above it can't be seen beneath the floating search box thingummy. This happens on every page. iOS 6.1.3 Retina display

ETA - it's even more marked on my iPhone 4S (also v6.1.3).

Good observation. I might just put the logo in the bar itself, or make it travel downward depending on how squashed things are.

There's not going to be a public update.

Basically if you have template files in your child theme, those will have to be adapted.

In this case you really can just "wing it" too. Upload, check it out...and if its not looking good just roll back. While it works fine with me, there's always those unanticipated things.

My list of things to improve:

-Batch editor needs to be able to show all images in the portfolio
-Batch editor needs to show the image values. Not the default values. this is only possible if all  images have the same custom value though.
-Licences need to be able to be toggled off and on
-Selected images need to be able to be toggled selected and deselected
-RM license needs to be more flexible and customisable, the way its set up now doesnt really - suffice RM licensing (or I am missing something)
-Mobile device optimisation still very important to have

IF you need me to explain something better, let me know.

At first glance looks good - works well on my 10" tablet and looks the same on that as on laptop

Many of us us the plug-in "UK Cookie Consent" as this is required by EU law - or a cookie consent anyway and this overlays the top of the page and therefore the search bar until you accept it

I had a quick play on test site at http://tulip.kerioak.com/   - would need more colour editing on my part to get text to show properly but that can be done when I have more time.

What does "100% responsive" mean and how does that differ from what we currently have?

Just a suggestion that would make backups easier.

I've been working through ways to backup the database and image files and have a workable solution for the initial backup:
http://www.backyardsilver.com/2013/09/backing-symbiostock-website/

However, I'm struggling a bit with the backing up of incremental image files. The solution I use (mover.io) doesn't seem to be able to select individual files in a folder to transfer although I'm contacting support to see if it is coming. At present, all image files are in symbiostock_rf folder.

Could we add images into monthly sub folders in this overall folder - I could then backup a monthly folder without having to redo all the previous ones.

If this screws up everything else, then just forget it. It was just an idea!

Me, too. But I do like the bar at the top.

I am showing a 2.6.5 update in wp dashboard, its been there a couple of days. I was going to update to that. Is this update 2.6.6 then? And when you say it's not going to be a public update, Leo, does that mean it will NOT show up in the dashboard, the only way we can get it is to download from this thread? I'm going to download it now so I have it, but don't want to duplicate efforts if it shows up later in wp.

I didnt know you could find the version number in the css, so I unzipped this latest version and it appears to be version 2.6.7. I missed 2.6.6 somewhere along the line. (note: it's the style.css file in the Symbiostock folder, the first folder. NOT in the css folder)

Requested by DonLand



===============
bulk edit doesnt bring up private images

want to have private images in a public collection so that those images are ONLY available as a collection, so there's no way to set one image as the home for the collection.

what i was able to do was just publish 1 image, use bulk edit to add it to a collection, set prices, etc, then use regular edit to add the private images  b ut in the image/collection area it only shows 1 image in the collection
===================


collections
----   need to be able to bulkedit collection to remove multiple images, leaving the rest of the collection -- only choices now are to empty or delete

--- says 'edit image' when setting up the title image - yet it's really editing prices for the collection???  after editing for the collection, that image is no longer available for individual purchase??

---- how do people know where the collections are?? there's no separate category, and when the title image is shown with others, there's nothing to show it's a collection.  even when you click on the image, the collection prices are shown, and there's a small line of text that says "46 images included" but that's easy to miss since there's nothing else to identify this as a collection

----  when an image in a collection is displayed, it should also include a link to the full collection - this will greatly improve upselling when people come into the site thru a single image

 - when user clicks on collection  link to a display of the images in the collection the way you can if you click on the images column in the collection editor  and/or fix the image display to show more than 24 images in a collection

-- the images/collection edit page needs a link to the title page image for easy editing, otherwise you have to remember what the image name is in order to change the collection display, keywords or pricing

=================
search tracking -- needs to part of the basic theme so we have network wide stats

here's the network search table
this should only keep the latest 60 days traffic, otherwise the collected file will be overwhelming

===search-log record  (one created for each network site checked. Records need to record each networked site separately so that db can do different sorts, counts, graphs, etc)
    
   Type of search (1=network (basic sym site), 2=promoted )
   search string used
   url of current site 
   url of network site X
   # images returned from networked site X
   time elapsed for search (useful in deciding how many sites we can reasonably look at)
   date/time of search

Need an option to set licenses as a default type of license on a per image basis. Very important for us with a mixture of editorial, RF, and RM content. Otherwise if I make an image available under an editorial license by default no option is selected when the customer tries to buy the image and it's up to them to actually select it. If they don't and they make the purchase it defaults to a non existant standard license. Could be a liability issue for editorial images.

in the cart manager a way to see not only which image sold and what size but also what license the image sold under.

Nice if also we had a way to see sales on a global side. Right now it's all on a per user basis.

Might have more but right now those are the big ones I've been thinking of that haven't been said already.

One (or two) more from me:

I would appreciate the possibility to set one license (in my case the standard license) as the one which is set (with active checkbox) by default. Right now neither the checkbox of my standard nor that of my extended license is active when you visit a single image page.

Belongs to that, but perhaps it's better to mention it separately:

You can choose licenses without being logged in. So it would be necessary to show the higher prices for all sizes in the extended license as soon as the customer activates the extended license checkbox ... I just think it would be better if the customer could see those higher prices before he creates an account and logs in.

Some more from me:

When reprocessing the watermark

- I always get this:

    Large Industrial Worker Bot with Heat Gun
    Count: 43 / 43
    Last processed: Image # 30 (Watermarked)

- There's no Email notification when the batch is finished

- The categories are only the standart categories ... would be great to have the self-generated categories too Just discovered them at the end of the list  :)

- Making watermark moveable 20% up and down in case it hides important parts of the image

just read number 3:

3 Remove the Standard License blue bar that appears BELOW the Download button (not sure why it's there, see here for example: http://thpstockphotos.com/image/first-light/ )

it's actually possible to remove that during set-up.. there should be a tutorial which will solve these issues..

If you set the upgrade amount to 0.00 for standard license that bar will not appear.. I know because the same thing happened to me and that's how you remove it..
