I am totally amazed of the speed this whole Wordpress/ Symbiostock thing is taking off ground. If we, the community, and you, our master code whiz, keep going like this I can't even imagine where this project will be by end of this year.

It really exciting and a lot of fun.

Why you should never use Comic Sans, it's now completely outlawed in Switzerland...

Thanks, Matt, for posting this link. I didn't even know a font can have such a bad reputation. :o
I sort of like Comic Sans. Guess it just proves that I am suffering from dyslexia  ;D
Anyway, it is far from being a love affair. So I'll definitely try finding a less hated type face. Any suggestions on what is hip today?

403
Featured images works great for me. :) Latest images won't show. I didn't process images for a while, which could be the reason. I wonder what "latest" means, anyway. It would be nice if the "latest" date range could be customized rather than being hard coded.   


I don't know if this has been reported before:

When I resize my firefox browser window to a width smaller than app. 800px our menus completely disappear. Hope that isn't a feature  ;D

Symbiostock - Hosting / Re: Several SymbioStock Sites Blocked
« on: April 12, 2013, 12:42 »
That's sad!

I am on Bluehost, too. (www.imagoborealis.com)

I checked if Bluehost is listed/gets blocked by PeerBlock: No it isn't in their list of malware/spyware/adware/data tracker/advertising servers.

Symbiostock - Technical Support / How to fix your Menu
« on: April 11, 2013, 16:44 »
I see still quite a number of SY sites having this menu problem:

When I click (not just hover) on a parent menu item some more or less unrelated page gets displayed and the drop-down list with child items gets blacked out.

I have researched this and found it is not actually a bug but a misconfiguration. Here's a solution:

A parent menu item that isn't clickable can be configured (in Appearance > Menus) by adding a Custom Link to the menu that has '#' entered for URL (instead of some http://...). Then assign the child menu items in your usual way.

406
Well, I don't know if this is the easy and specific stuff you had in mind:

  • I'd like having the option of visualizing the list image categories with thumbs assignable (explicitly or maybe randomly as an option) to each category and displayed in a grid instead of that list on gray.
  • Cool would be an option of showing image category pages and search result pages in a masonry/tiled/pinterest style. I've tried a few plugins for that but they don't seem to work with the custom type posts of the SY theme.
  • That leads me to suggesting some mechanism for transforming/exporting the custom type posts, i.e. certain aspects such as tumbs, titles, descriptions...., to regular wordpress posts that could be used with a much greater choice of available plugins.
  • Avoiding pagination by an endless scrolling option would be a nice feature. (There might be a plugin for this. I haven't checked or tried, yet.)

Forgive me if that doesn't make sense. I am new to wordpress and its concepts. Sort of a steep learning curve I am on. It's fun, though  8)

Site Related / Re: Too Many SymbioStock Threads?
« on: April 11, 2013, 14:47 »
I regard the number of SY threads dominating over "complain about IS" thread as a very welcomed trend. Like a hint of light on the horizon after a long arctic night. I hope we will see SY (or Self-Hosted) rise like a tropical morning sun in the poll results, soon.  :)

408
Yep, I left the edit box about page empty. That obviously caused the image page link taking over. Thanks again!

100% solved. Awesome!

Would be even nicer, though, to have these settings in one obvious place. You seem to have a plan already, Leo. Good!

409
Thanks Leo, that solved it 50%.

Under Users > Your profile the edit box Website controls where <my name> (which can be changed by drop-down box Display name publicly as) links to.

However, I couldn't find anything to configure the link "(profile)", yet.

What about ...


Way too much worries about stuff that might or might not happen. Far too early for me. I need all my worry energy getting my site up and running.  ;)

412
....

413
On every image page below the image and its description there is a credit line

by <my name> (profile)

which is fine. However, "<my name>" links to my site's homepage and "(profile)" links to the very same image page. I'd like to change that but can't figure out how. Who can help?

Symbiostock - Development Area / Re: Child Theme questions
« on: April 09, 2013, 04:29 »
It does have a VERY unwanted side effect (when I tried it and it seems to be the same on your site) - try logging out of your site then logging in from the Login/Register link at the top of the page.   


Putting an edited footer in the child theme caused the problems I posted about here http://www.microstockgroup.com/symbiostock-technical-support/i%27ve-broken-it-loginregister-option-at-top-goes-to-eula-i-think/  - the way I did it anyway


Thank you for pointing this out, Tinny. I somehow knew it couldn't be THAT easy.  :(

edited: even an unedited copy of footer.php in the child theme has this effect.

Symbiostock - Development Area / Re: Child Theme questions
« on: April 09, 2013, 02:27 »
ok, so that worked great, i know understand a little more CSS!

But I cannot for the life of me work out how to remove the boxes in the footer. I don't want the borders.

None of the css footer classes seem to relate to the boxes?


I guess I succeeded in getting rid of those boxes. I copied footer.php to my child theme and modified it like that:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying the footer.
 *
 * Contains the closing of the id=main div and all content after
 *
 * @package symbiostock
 * @since symbiostock 1.0
 */
?>
   </div><!-- #main .site-main -->
   </div>
   
<footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
   <div class="footer_info">
    <p class="muted">

</footer><!-- #colophon .site-footer -->
<?php include_once('modal-login.php'); ?>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>


You can see on my site what this (and some minor tweaking in styles.css) did. BUT I don't really know if this is going to haunt me later with some unwanted side effects. Try on your own risk  ;)

Symbiostock - Development Area / Re: Child Theme questions
« on: April 08, 2013, 23:16 »
You just deleted the "background-image:" lines, which means the background images of the parent theme are still there. Try replacing those lines in your child styles.css with e.g. "background-image: url("");"

Symbiostock - General / Re: Blocking Spam Registrations
« on: April 08, 2013, 13:23 »
After trying two different plugins, I've settled on one called simply Captcha. Have a look at my register page now and see what you think!

Steve

Works for me. Let's hope no potential buyer gets deterred because she/he can't solve the math  ;D

Actually, I very much like halfshag's suggestion of coding in a trap. That I fear, however, will be more work for Leo...

418
Again, I am not sure if this has been reported before:

When I do a keyword search and nothing is found on the site I am searching on, I am getting no Symbiostock network results either. Just a page telling me "No Results found. Try browsing the categories. Maybe you will find some hidden gems" and the category list.

Symbiostock - General / Re: Blocking Spam Registrations
« on: April 08, 2013, 13:05 »
Would you like to try mine out - please, and comments on size and usablity will be appreciated :)

Your captcha would be great if it worked. I see it, it asks me to drag a smiley on a t-shirt, but I can't drag anything. I use Firefox.

edited: I clicked the signup button with nothing filled in and the catcha not working. Got to sort of an "error sign-up" page, and here your captcha is working! Weird. I hope you can get this sorted out.

Rome wasn't built overnight either  ;D

The progress is amazing already!

Sadly, however, I'll report a bug, too (although I am not sure if this is really new).

When I click (not just hover) on a parent menu item an empty page gets displayed and the drop-down list with child items gets blacked out. - Or do I just miss something configuring my menu structure?

New feature with FAA: integration of your FAA stuff via iframe. Got the code line from FAA, installed the Wordpress plugin "iframe", created a page "Prints", pasted the code (and had to remodel it bit according to iframe-plugin syntax), added that page to my main menu, and here's the result:

http://www.imagoborealis.com/prints/


That's great! I've added one to my site as well, but it show the images in the order they were uploaded (I think). Have you found any way to modify what is shown when you first open that page and see the FAA results? It would have been great to show the galleries in order rather than the actual images.

Steve


Exactly my thoughts! I'd rather show the galleries first, too. But I don't think it is possible   ...yet. Maybe if we campaign of this option in FAA forums they put it in (can't be that hard to do).

Pretty  8), isn't it? - What do you think?

Now I see what those little sunglasses smilies are for!
Thats pretty cool - its actually quite new to me. Is that a general retailing of other prints, or are those yours...? Completely new to me. I'm glad your finding other ways to get your site working for you.



Those images offered as prints are all mine. The combination of plugin and iframe code includes my whole FAA portfolio including FAA cart and checkout (almost) seamlessly in my Symbiostock site. Took me 5 minutes to set this up!

Can someone recommend a working plugin for integration of Google analytics?

Little brother of

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/

PS - Make sure you open up a google webmaster's account as well. Submit your sitemaps, etc.


Thanks. I didn't know Google analytics was part of the SEO plugin. I'll install and check it out for sure!
