Boy it got quiet around here.
I check in everyday to see how you're getting on and I'm sure there are lots of others watching from the sidelines.
Looking forward to seeing it live :-)

I'm here!!!

This is my favorite thread of the forum. Thanks for all your work! This could become really great!

Progress update--closer to finish line. Just fixed some bugs over the last few days. Just have to put in the paypal IPN and fix Wordpress's welcome email...and I think we're ready for testing release.

I'm still here too. I check this thread many times a day to see where things are at. Thank you so much for all the work! I hope you put a donate button someplace so we can give a little back.

Cool. You know how that awkward silence can be.

Regarding license, I hope everyone continues to work on a nice basic and protective agreement and share it with eachother. But I've decided to keep it separate from Symbiostock (ie, you all can share or post a well proven EULA) that people can post into their site's EULA page. This is mostly so one of those agencies you see on the side-bar over there doesn't find a loophole to exploit and sue me, effectively stomping out this new thing.

Also this serves to keep Symbiostock from acting like an agent but it remains a tool. Sound good?

Today I had to give more attention to search! I also got the network ajax to work properly. I won't bore you with details...just covering all the bases so results are accurate and the experience is smooth. I think we're done with search now.

About the EULA sample, you can just put in another site or domain, not directly related to Symbio.

Just link it in the Symbio site, telling the users to go to the page if they want a ready made EULA or something.

hey, we're all here! Since everyone's reading this, most of us probably don't want to add to the reading unless we have something worthwhile to say. But yes, we are all here!

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #308 on:** March 09, 2013, 21:54 »

Really really I'm getting close to finished. When every element is done I might take just a bit longer to make sure there are no big bugs.

Also I decided (due to a request earlier in the thread) to add a feature to "turn off" certain sizes. That way people who want to sell maybe just large or small, or just vectors, can do so. Also if someone wishes to sell some sort of different content (like a 3d model) they can turn off all the sizes and just allow zip.

Paypal IPN and email feature is less than a few hours work.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #309 on:** March 09, 2013, 23:31 »

Here are some previews of more control over your files.

Preview 1:

Three states for each size option: Available, Not Available, and No Click. Not available removes the entry completely from the product table. No click leaves it there but ghosts it all and makes it unclickable. I suppose someone might have different reasons for choosing either state...

Preview 2:

Lets suppose your uploading 20 images or have a standard that applies to your whole site. Like maybe you think "bloggee" is stupid and you don't want it on there, or maybe you only want to sell web-site stuff (remember that request early in thread?). Every image uploaded has those default settings applied. As you can see, you can easily adjust those settings after if you change your mind. Because bloggee is NOT stupid.

Nice Kona, so very keen to get started with it.

I was just wondering about compatability with popular plugins like WP Super Cache and Yoast SEO? Have you found any problems with any plugins that we are likely to need?

Hope I can get my hands on this before April, the wait is killing me!

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #311 on:** March 10, 2013, 01:06 »

I'll give it a test drive with all the major plugins. As far as I know it sticks to the rules and is non-clashy

. I'll get right back to you.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #312 on:** March 10, 2013, 02:02 »

Sure enough. No conflicts on plugins, they all work great.

Since you've inspired me to turn on debugging I noticed I have a few small nonessential issues which I'm going to fix quickly, but its all looking good.

If you like, why don't you give me a big list of likely needed plugins. Then I can make double sure. So far though it looks like there are no clashes. I name all my functions/variables so there are no collisions with other plugins.

THP Creative · « **Reply #314 on:** March 11, 2013, 00:10 »

Hey kona, thats great, thanks for checking.

Really for me those are the crucial plugins, others are a bonus. I'm sure there will be others down the track but none that I can think of right now.

cascoly · « **Reply #315 on:** March 11, 2013, 15:51 »

OT, while awaiting the release -- saw this is a Geneva home design shop - a bit creepy

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #316 on:** March 11, 2013, 16:29 »

...and you wonder why we see the stuff on the news that we do...

Things are coming along. With all of the mountains I've leaped with this project, I am stuck on a silly little pagination issue. Been at it for a long time now. Thought I had solved it then it came back. Quite maddening.

Other than that it will be a quick wrap afterward.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #317 on:** March 11, 2013, 17:26 »

Since I'm so thoroughly stumped I had detoured to some easy stuff. I put the content area to to the right of the cart in case you wanted to put any other sort of verbage or call to action...or a picture of your cat or knife holder, whatever you can think of.

Just figured I'd post it because I have nothing else to report until this pagination thing is solved.

Just an FYI, I've tried to simplify things as much as possible so that there are no features blocked with any hosting companies you might use. But for anyone who is thinking of opening up an account, make sure you can use CURL and fopen fwrite functions in your hosting. They will know what your talking about. This theme cannot function without those two features. I did a little research and I'm quite certain not many hosters block those.

You got me thinking more, and here are the names of plugins I use currently...

Comment E-Mail Verification
Digg Digg (although if you can embed social shares in the theme, that would probably be preferable to a plugin - thoughts?)
GD Star Rating
Google Analytics for WordPress
GTranslate
Simple 301 Redirects
Theme My Login
User Avatar
WordPress SEO
WP Super Cache

I dont expect you to test them all. Just thought it might give you an idea of the sort of plugins people are using.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #320 on:** March 11, 2013, 22:20 »

I'll definitely check those out and get right back. I'm dealing with biggest monster of an issue I've ever dealt with in this project.

Its like running the gauntlet successfully just to slip on a banana peel at the end.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #321 on:** March 11, 2013, 23:12 »

These are impressive! They all seem to work pretty well.

THP Creative · « **Reply #322 on:** March 12, 2013, 00:02 »

Brilliant! Thanks kona, you're the man

BTW - My mountain bike is a Kona Caldera. You're a talented man designing awesome Wordpress themes and sweet hard-tail bikes.

Hope that banana peel doesn't keep you down for too long.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #323 on:** March 12, 2013, 01:49 »

As cool as GD Star Rating is it seems to install with conflicts. I thought it was my coding but I think its on their end. They clash with a few other plugins as well like the awesome Digg Digg one you mentioned.

THP Creative · « **Reply #324 on:** March 12, 2013, 01:54 »

Thats interesting, I've noticed a few weird things with GD.

What are the conflicts between it and Digg Digg? I haven't noticed any on my site so far.

But I have noticed that Google has dropped my star ratings from search results, although I seem to have followed their rules?! Not sure what thats about, or if its a plugin problem. It worked to begin with.

It's not essential anyway, just a bonus. Or if you know of a better star rating plugin (or built in functionality for Symbiostock.....) I'm more than happy to hear it.
