Guess i was just supposed to know that all along. Now i do.

The level of knowledge and understanding within this group is varied.  When the real release happens tech support will be critical for new users.... as members of the community we have to be prepared for all level of questions and responses.

It seems that she has active something (plugin?) against hotlinking.
LOL


Thanks for laughing at me.


Yes i did activate hotlinking protection. Since some of you geniuses know exactly how all this stuff works, and i do not, i wasnt sure what problems that might cause. Apparently you all are hotlinked to my site via the network.


Thanks for the heads up. I will remove it tonight.

I didn't laugh at you. Hotlinking ( showing images on one site from another site) is what Symbiostock is all about. I want your images on my site...and I want my images on your site.

Symbiostock - Technical Support / Contact form
« on: May 28, 2013, 08:57 »
I have installed clean and simple contact form

At first there was a conflict with Symbiostock email but Meg adjusted her code.... now seems to work.

Is anybody able to create a press release about Symbiostock?

How about other marketing tools?


In order for the network to work we need to reach a critical mass.

These means photographers, but more importantly buyers.

Google image search and SEO is one of the main targets of the network, but, I think, we also have to target potential buyers who would not use image search. As well if we live by the google we can die by the google...if google decides that Symbiostock images are "bad" the they can disappear from the searches....

As an example I am thinking of sending a blurb to writers of blogs on Ecuador ( one of my Niches) announcing Symbiostock and my images.  The problem is, I am a decent photographer, but not too good at word smithing.

When I was researching this same question ( folder vs sub domain) the info I found suggested  that 3 or 4 sub domains will help you with SEO... above that and it will hinder your SEO.

So with this in mind I have.

http://photo-tours.glennspecht.com/wp/
As 3 separate wordpress installs, with links going back and forth.

Is this the best way to do it.... I don't know.

281
In the latest versions of Symbiostock 2.x.x  something called Datasheets are created.

When I look at them I see the meta data for images.

How are these created?
What is their purpose?
Can I edit these and how will they effect my site/images? 
How will this effect my network and SEO?
If I edit a datasheet and do a reload, will my edits be lost?

My purpose in asking is I am still trying t think of an easy way to change/ translate my keywords/descriptions.

282
Version 2.3.x

Green button works in Chrome.

283
And make sure the plugin "Related Posts By Taxonomy" is activated...

I have seen and read that but cannot work out what it is,  can you explain what it is for/does please
As far as I can tell, this is the actual bit of code that does the search and control of similar images.

Wordpress is made up of blocks ( think Lego) that are then put together to create the theme you want.  If there isn't a block you need, you build it.

284
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 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


285
As I was "playing" with the latest version I realized I still had my test site running as well as my live site.

I deleted my test site.  I suggest others do as well, while we think about it.

I shoot Canon because..... well when I was switching from manual focus to auto focus ( many years ago) the Canon lens were silent, Nikons made noise. That was the only difference at the time... and now neither or any other DSLR is different enough to change manufacture.... Really there isn't a camera maker making bad gear these days... they can't afford to.

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.

289
I am one of the ones that it works fine ( almost) for...but I did not modify my child theme, and did not make major changes...

290
Yep, I actually had the same footer issue. No problem to reactivate the widgets, though.

However, I can't seem to figure out how to show my "Author avatar" on my Symbiocard. Any ideas what went wrong/how to fix this?
Same problem.... was just about to post this.

291
If you are a design firm that can use 25 a day, or are high volume then yes the larger sites are likely where you are going to purchase.

But some people may only need  10 images a month.....

I don't think that Symbiostock will make much of a dent in the pockets of the big agencies... but it may effect the smaller agencies.

It is going to be an interesting ride for the next 24 months to see if the idea of Symbiostock works or not.  I hope it will, but we will see.

Let's get this party Started.

My live site is:

Netherlands is missing from that list, which is weird

A lot of countries are missing from the list... I think the idea is to give an idea or sample

Version 2.2.7  ( may effect earlier version)
Area Effected email notification/ contact form


I tried installing Clean and Simple contact form plug-in:
http://www.megnicholas.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/clean-and-simple-contact-form/

Email does not include name and email address from the form, making it difficult to respond

Disabling Synbiostock email plug-in allows the clean and simple to work properly.

What is the best contact form, with spam control to use with Symbiostock?

Akismet or whatever its callled is great for spam. And thank you very much for that bug report. I know exactly whats causing it.


Do I
a) use Akismet as a contact form ( Is it a contact form?)
b) Find another form that will work
or
c) relax...take a break... not worry about it, while the amazing code wizard named Leo solves this problem in an update or two..... ;D  ;)

Symbiostock - General / Re: Multiple Languages
« on: May 25, 2013, 11:43 »
I am thinking about SEO and Image Descriptions.  I don't really want to have multiple copies of the same images but I can't think of a easy way around this.

Symbiostock - General / Multiple Languages
« on: May 25, 2013, 11:18 »
A lot of my images are of Ecuador, so I think my market should include Spanish Speakers.

I have been thinking about how to do this.

Spanish language site/ sub domain?

Translation Widget?

My biggest concern is keywords/ descriptions/ image searches.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

The person who wrote the note likely doesn't worry about GMT...just the fact they have to work late on the Friday Night of the Long weekend.... ;D  :o

Version 2.2.5
Problem area Symbiocard.

Working version of 2.2.2.  updated to 2.2.5

The blue + button doesn't work.  Click the button but nothing happens.
This means I can not add more than 1 card to my network.
To fix the problem I have tried, that did not work.
Deleting theme
deactivating network activity

I have compared action to 2.2.2 and 2.2.5 ( I am running both) and the problem is only in 2.2.5

Glenn

The only way this seems to ever happen is if you delete ALL the rows. Then there is no remaining rows to clone. However its fixed by just clicking the tab... so you *may* be having a browser issue. Please update me if this is a problem for you still so I can check out your site and see whats going on.

You nailed It...I was using an older version of Firefox.  Works with Chrome.
