the double entry bug is back -- newly uploaded, for image http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image/western-tanager-2/   I get
-----------
Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana)  male eating fruit in a tree,  Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana)  male eating fruit in a tree,  Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon
------------------------
it's taking 2 different pieces of exif info: the first is from xmp-description, the second from iptc caption-abstract

my guess is it's supposed to use the second value if the first is blank, but instead it's using both

I get this occasionally and I think it only occurs in images with and ampersand in the description or title.
Just an observation of the images it occurred on in the latest batch uploaded last night.

no special characters for mine, other than the parens, in ay other the cases I've found

the fact that the data comes from 2 different fields in the exif implies something amiss in the way te desc is extracted (it's not evident in this example, but for a test I had slightly different texts in the 2 fields mentioned above,and both were copied to the sym desc area)

I just did a test I uploaded the same image 3 times
Image 1 without any special characters is perfect.
Image 2 with an & in the Title  repeats the title..
Image 3 with an & in the title and description repeats both fields.

There is also something else that repeats the description occasionally but I have not worked out what it is yet

Edit:  I suspect it is " or '   so any non text characters?

[Leo Blanchette]

you guys are awesome! I would have never figured that out. Now to figure out why that is...

I came across an interesting bug that I noticed because one of my image pages showed two different images - one under the other.

I think this is how it occurs:

I have a number of images that have exactly the same title. Symbio changes the slug after the first one to add "-2" etc. If I upload just a few of those images, and then later upload the rest, then everything is fine - the slugs are still incrementally modified so you don't have a clash.

However - and this is now a bit of conjecture - if I change the title of the image in Symbio, but leave the slug as it is, and then upload similar titled images later, it reuses the original slug name. Then you get two slugs with the same name and the double image page.

Make sense - is that how it works?

[cascoly]

maybe we've discovered multiple tiny bugs, since the example I showed doesn't have any spec characters - but it does show that symbio is pulling the desc from 2 different pieces of metadata

Seem to have found a little bug...

While logged in as the Admin, go to view any other users profile in the Wordpress dashboard. You will see under their standard data that your Extended Author Info shows up underneath their profile (weird and confusing, but not the bug - although would be great to stop it doing that!).

Make a change to anything in their profile and save the changes. Now when you go to an image page on the front end of your site, or your author page, the little Bio text that shows up next to your avatar disappears. Well, it does for me anyway. I've tried it a couple of times and each times I have to go back to my profile and re-save it to get that data to display properly again.

Could it be that in the additional author info showing up under each user when logged in as the author, it is actually saving that data to that user, thus making it not display?

I've just had that EXACT same problem for the first time, two images showing up on the same page. I think you might be onto the reason for it.

I've got some bizarre stuff happening with search at the moment, can anyone else confirm?

on my site, thpstockphotos.com do a search for "vector" (no ""). A few of my selected network partners that have this keyword, such as LEO don't show up. Weird.

Do a search on Leo's site for vector, 600+ results.

Also, it's stopped doing it now but the first couple of tests I did on this had AJT's Global Search coming up first in my list of results (under me) even though I don't have it as a selected network partner. It was above the ones I HAVE selected.

Maybe you've searched for "vector" for the first time, when Leo's site had problems, nothing showed up, and this result is hold in cache all the time. Go to network page and enter 1 as cache days (now there is no possibility to switch it off). Maybe results from Leo's site will be back.
My search is in your extended network and has promoted keywords like "images,photos,vectors", so it is searched.
Maybe I should do some changes in code, to show it always as the last.

[THP Creative]

thanks ajt, will look into it more.

BTW, your global search site is really coming along. Nicely done!

Just stumbled across this bug.
If there are two images with the same Title
When you click on one the single image page opens up with both images

Edit to add - just discovered that the top image is still in drafts - not published yet.

[steheap]

That is the one that I saw, and outlined a possible cause a couple of posts back. This illustrates it nicely.  Can you check what the image slugs are?

Slugs are identical

I did publish the top image with changes made to the Title and Description etc., and the problem is solved.
(The slugs remain the same).

[pling]

I'm not sure if anyone else pointed this out, I noticed some of my keywords with multiple words gets no result when I click on the keyword, for example the page below when I click on my image keyword "jack-o-lantern", I get "No results found on this site.", those keyword also indexed by google together with the word No results found... showing as description which is not good.

(The slugs remain the same).

Problem is known (I hope), I wrote about it few days ago. These two images are visible one under another only when you are logged as admin. Guests and other users don't see them at all (clicking on thumbnail of earlier published image leads to "page not found".

Thanks for the clarification.

Visitors cant see drafts. And I have not seen two identical slugs. They get a follow up number when they are identical. like a -2

See first part of my reply in this thread:
http://www.microstockgroup.com/symbiostock-development-area/100-stability-lets-fix-the-final-few-bugs-the-final-bug-stomping-thread/msg323591/#msg323591

Draft image gets unique slug (-2, -3) when image is published. When there are two images with the same title, first published earlier, second draft, titles will be the same until publishing the second image. And when second image stays draft, first image is not visible to visitors.

[steheap]

I can confirm that when I saw this issue, I was logged in as the admin, and the image that was showing as the second one was still in my drafts folder. So it looks like we are all agreeing.

Wow. This bug thread just keeps getting bigger like the error log on my site...

Just joking...

Gonna get caught up listing these on the original post. Thanks for waiting. I'm still coming out of an earthquake of issues with my server and getting Christos' site set up.

Password emails are not being sent. Since i had a registration and a purchase on june 21, i have to assume that buyer got an email and something has changed since then. I have other registrations since then. Is there a way to find out if they have got a
password?


Can this be fixed immediately? By the way i am not the only one with issue.

[Kerioak~Christine]

I am just trying to sort out the same problem - I am getting emails telling me people have registered but they are not getting the password.  I have tried a test registration, I got the notification but I did not get the password.

I tried registering on Leo's site and got the password.

I have the exact same problem.

You can register but get no email with password.

Im using Just Host.

Emails not received - google gmail and 1and1 accounts.

Looks like Klsbear has made some headway finding the bug - I guess we are still in Beta :-(
