Symbiostock - Suggestions / Re: Feature Request List

Awesome, thanks Leo!

.....

Improved searching options, i.e. search by category AND/OR keyword AND/OR exclusive AND/OR original filename etc, not just by description/title.
Improved sorting options, including being able to see and sort by the original filename.
....


these are good features -- when we have 500,000 images -- right now, it's a rare search that comes up with more than 100-200 results

even if you do a 'silly' search like 'beautiful woman' the results are manageable --these are 2 of the most used keywords  with 13,000 and 12,000 results in the global search http://cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=401
  but the combination gives just 3000 images and eliminating similar you get about 500 with 2500 similar

so even for this extremely broad search the results are reasonable.  the search is getting better, but at this point i'd place it lower on the list of priorities  (right now sym is competitive with SS -- for 'bald soprano', sym gives 0 and SS gives only 1 result!)


You missed the point. This is on the administration side of the site. We need these kind of searches to be able to manage the images. Even with 1000 images it is already unwieldy.

My Feature Request!!!
Some things have been mentioned before, but the following would really help.
Some may also be possible right now so if so let me know how!

On the client side of things....
Ability to change number of images clients see in the grid view. Best way would being able to change each size, so instead of saying 30 images change it to 5x6 or 6x5 etc.
Ability to show bread crumbs under the image in the image page.
Ability to move the boxes in the 2 columns around in the image page.
Ability to change color background, font colors etc. I have a feeling this is available in the Child Themes by using code but maybe a plug-in could be made where it would have a list of values to change for each part for those of us not so code savvy.

On the processing/organization side of things.
A category for the original filename.
Improved searching options, i.e. search by category AND/OR keyword AND/OR exclusive AND/OR original filename etc, not just by description/title.
Improved sorting options, including being able to see and sort by the original filename.
Ability to search/sort by upload DAY, not just MONTH.
Additional licensing options including EL and RM.

Yea, I guess most don't have to but maybe WebHostingHub does a few things a little abnormal or... I still wonder if it's because my site is not at the root level.

Ok, so I found this page.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4477472/getting-started-with-imagemagick

It says...
You'll have to edit your php.ini file and add:

include_path="/usr/local/lib/ImageMagick"
extension=imagick.so
This will tell php to look in that directory for additional libraries, and load the imagick extension.

Then, restart the server.

Since my files should be in /usr/bin/convert I changed it to:

include_path="/usr/bin/convert/ImageMagick"
extension=imagick.so


To no avail. Of course I can't restart the server as it is a shared environment. Still not working.

Yes to your third question. I've tried it both enabled and disabled. Neither way works. Should it NOT be installed with Symbiostock?

Not sure where I began with SymbioStock, probably 2.x.

Following are the active plugins, some of which I don't even know what they actually do or why/when they were installed, like the first two.

Contact Form 7
Enhanced Text Widget
Google Analytics
ImageMagick Engine

Symbiostock emails and notifications

Sysinfo
SYXtra

If you tried to do what syxtra said and you still have

>>>>No Imagick extension loaded?  Try to add to php.ini: extension=imagick.so

It means it doesn't work

Although you may confirm it using this simple plugin Sysinfo http://wordpress.org/plugins/sysinfo/

then click PHP Info button

and compare it to http://servicecore.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/servicecore-phpinfo.png

Imagick module should be listed, otherwise...


Thanks but I can't see the png file. Says I do not have permission.

Yea, I love how they say look at this at it's just a simple overview of the situation. They keep pointing the finger at the developer even after I said it works on MANY servers, just not two (there's being one of them) that I know of so far. Probably something simple that I don't know about how to get SymbioStock to point to the /usr/bin/convert folder for the PHP Module. Since as a user I do not have permission to change that folder (or even see it) I really do not know if the PHP Module is really installed although they have specifically said it is so I have to take their word for it.

Thanks. Ok I've got a php.ini file installed and SYXtra Plugin sees it for scripts. I added the extension=imagick.so to it but no luck. Imagick class does not exist.
Not sure but if the issue is because this WP install is NOT on the Root, but a subfolder.

Can I add it to my local php.ini directory instead?

Here is the page they talk about getting it to work. Greek to me....

Some more info. In my WP SXtra plug in it says the following:

>>>>No Imagick extension loaded?  Try to add to php.ini: extension=imagick.so

Imagick class doesn't exists

 Trying to call command-line ImageMagick...<<<<


Where is this php.ini file and how do I add extension=imagick.so to it?

WebHostingHub says they support the PHP version of it and not the command line version. The problem is Symbiostock can't seem to find the PHP version which WebHostingHub says is in use/bin/convert

Here is what they say in their help pages:

ImageMagick allows you to dynamically create and edit images on the server.  ImageMagick is usually run from the command line, but since command line access is not available on Web Hosting Hub servers, the commands can be ran through cron jobs or PHP scripts instead. ImageMagick programs are located in:

/usr/bin/convert
/usr/bin/mogrify

I'm beginning to think that I need to edit the imagemagick script in the imagemagick edit plug in to locate the /usr/bin/convert

Dang, did not want to hear that. I had GoDaddy but quickly got tired or all their upgrade crap. I'm using Web Hosting Hub and until this was very happy with them. As I type this they are looking into it. I asked them to see if the PHP modules are installed in the two listed places above. They say yes they are installed in /us/bin/convert

It is in the ImageMagick plug-in engine

Slowly getting there. In SymbioStock the ImageMagick Engine plug in is enabled by command line engine at: /usr/bin/ and I get the green checkmark, but GD Library is still used on the process images page.

My server company states the following:

ImageMagick allows you to dynamically create and edit images on the server.  ImageMagick is usually run from the command line, but since command line access is not available on XXXXXX servers, the commands can be ran through cron jobs or PHP scripts instead. ImageMagick programs are located in:

/usr/bin/convert
/usr/bin/mogrify

In Symbiostock if I click on the ImageMagick dropdown menu and pick on Imagick PHP module I get a red x with it saying the Imagick php module not found.

Ideas?

Ok, my hosting company says ImageMagick is installed, running and available to use at /usr/bin/convert and /usr/bin/mogrify

SymbioStock says it is using GD Library

The hosting company said to contact the Theme builder.

Sigh....

Leo or anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the information @DonLand

Well.. I am looking at it now,
just tried Chrome, Firefox, Safari, an old IE, Opera on Windows XP
Chrome and FF and IE on Windows 7
Chrome and Safari on iPad

The only problem I had with Chrome on iPad.



What browser do you use? Or maybe some script blocker?

Safari on MacPro

Ok, so I turned off all extensions and it worked. No have to find the buggy extension!

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply but I need some more basic info, like where do I get to the command line to even use the script. This is on a remote server that I have both cPanel and FTP access to.

Also how do I know if I need PHP bindings or Perl bindings etc. I am not a programmer or even IT guy, just a photographer. Thanks!
