Are these leftover from the standard installation?


http://symbiostock.info/?search=brat%20anger%20parasitic

Did Leo any config/testing for you?  :)

102
archive-image.php in main SYS folder. I deleted "Royalty Free" and copied this file to child theme.

103
I don't know environment that you are using, but try to switch off debug mode and set option somewhere (maybe select older php version?), to make php more tolerant to minor issues in code, to get rid of all those notices.  Symbiostock needs some fixes in reported places, but it is not urgent, all is working under typical server configurations.

104
In home page I see this image as your last:
http://www.picture5479.com/image/stock-photo-of-a-bored-office-worker/
Uploaded today. Is it ok?

105
Yes, that '&' is my fault and it will be fixed. It should not be there (I've put & in function call instead of header). But I think that it has nothing common with blank screen. This & is reported as a bug in debug mode (as it was) or sometimes as a warning only in rare php versions, but maybe...

I've sent you PM with link to theme with & bug fixed.
Try it and let me know if it works.

Wow, thanks for that.
I have installed the plug-in and edited it for the custom links. Now, when I am in the "Edit Image" area to publish the image I've uploaded, I can't find where to put the individual image code. Any thoughts on where or how to do this? Thanks.


Somewhere (for example in the end) in image description, something like Stocksy=12345
It will not be visible in image page.

Example:
This image

has description:

Update:

There is another plugin, more customizable. Is is not "Alamy plugin" now, because it can be used for any other stock site. If you have Alamy plugin installed, remove it and install this:

http://ajotte.com/stock-plugin/

but only if you want to place links to other sites. Alamy links defined in images will work as before with Alamy plugin.



108
But, how I should determine, that one image is more conceptual than other, and should be upper in results?

109
There is no number for "huge". Try to search for something with many results: "woman", "landscape". Statistically, in first pages you will find more images with less number of keywords, than in last pages. When image is added to database (or updated from time ti time), it gets new random number, for example in range from 1 to 1000*keywords_count. So image with 20 keywords will have random number from 1 to 20000, image with 80 keywords will have from 1 to 80000. Images are displayed in this order, so first image will have bigger probability to go up. And this is only first, very simple algorithm. Next should be more complicated, but always someone will complain :(

110
I wrote about it in one of previous posts:

"Now it is simple. When you enter phrase having two or more words, first go images with that phrase as single keyword or title, then images with all words as separate keywords. Images are sorted randomly to avoid grouping results from one site (random numbers are generated when images are indexed or updated in database). And images with huge number of keywords are pushed down."


111
In my opinion the search engine should use only the [pure base features] from the [basic symbiostock site installation] in the front.

A good place to put all those fancy filters is in the advanced options, sure you'll make it as you like

Also I'd move the "Search item" input in adv. search UP, my first reaction was to put the keyword in the first input, it's not user friendly this way

Front search will stay as is, only with "best match" and "newest first" choice, but in future, for example, I should do something with sites with unrated images, especially, when should be marked as "red". Maybe exlude such site from search results, but this is topic for separate thread, I think.

I should know first, how looks direct link to image in that agency. Then plugin code should be modified, to recognize new ref pattern and generate valid link. I'll try to make plugin a bit more customizable, so will be easier to do it.
Could you give me some example links to images in other sites, you want to use plugin for?

113
Does it push rated images within a portfolio to the front?

No, they are only filtered, but this is good idea - it should encourage people to rate images :)

I've now followed in your footsteps. I feel much better about this - I think it is very clear what we are saying about these images: http://www.backyardstockphotos.com/image/aerial-view-of-the-old-town-square-in-warsaw


Nice banner, I have to do something similar.

I live near Warsaw (100km), and don't have any stock photo from there. Maybe this summer :)

115
Images in korgh.com forced me to add rating to symbiostock.info :)
Now default rating is Yellow (I called it Moderate). So in basic search only green, yellow and unrated images are shown. If you have unrated images, which should be classified as yellow or red, please update them.

Some of you have strawberry in network, now red images won't go to your sites.

I also added advanced search. There may be bugs, so please report any weird results.
You can now search by site address or artist name, select exclusive images, orientation and rating.

What version of theme do you have installed?

ajt -

Super job! This plugin should effectively work with any Wordpress theme, correct? Not just Symbiostock?

Without Symbiostock this plugin will do nothing. It uses "hooks" in image page (and works only there), that Leo added in one of last SYmbio versions.

If you have your method already working, maybe there is no need to edit now?

Ron, you can use my text too :)

Symbiostock - SEO & Marketing / Symbiostock Alamy plugin
« on: July 12, 2013, 09:14 »
My first, very simple plugin, for everyone having portfolio at Alamy, and wanting to increase visibility of images.

Symbiostock images are very high in Google results, and Alamy images are not visible at all.
Maybe you don't want to use Symbiostock for selling your Alamy images directly, but you can use it to index them in Google and direct customers to your Alamy portfolio.

Examples:
http://ajotte.com/image/dlugi-targ-street-in-gdansk-3/
http://ajotte.com/image/john-paul-ii-monument/

More info and plugin here http://ajotte.com/alamy-plugin/

This plugin is free, but if you find it useful, and want to pay for it, just buy one of my images :)

It is easily customizable, you can replace Alamy to other site, or add more links.

124
I really like the idea of Symbiostock, and I have set up a site at www.alanklughammer/stock. Unfortunately, I think my host is a reseller of godaddy, so the network features don't seem to work.


Your all networking functions seem to work perfectly now. I've added your site to http://symbiostock.info.

I got :)
That was mesage from Leo, titled "Symbiostock 2.5.5 - Stable. Pausing development for 1 month.".
