100% Stability. Lets fix the final few bugs. The Final Bug Stomping Thread+

[Leo Blanchette]

Some more bug fixes! Plus we've added some new stuff for AJT and Cascoly by request. Simply update in your admin area. Or download the theme from www.Symbiostock.com

Important update. Please update quickly so AJT and Cascoly can keep experimenting with their search engine and network projects

As you may know, each  site has public info files at its root level:

• symbiocard.csv
• symbiostock_image_info.csv
• symbiostock_keyword_info.csv

Now there is an XML version of each of these.

There are also a number of bug fixes.

I am using the parent theme, so when I update, what settings will I lose?

[Leo Blanchette]

You shouldn't lose any.

[ajt]

Wow, thanks!

[Leo Blanchette]

Glad you like!
Here is a list of bug fixes since someone requested it (I'm sure I'm forgetting a few)

•     Though not necessarily a bug, sites in the marketing tab are sorted alphabetically.
•     AJT Fixed an author box bio (disappearing) issue.
•     License link text shortened so as not to cause confusion.
•     Image listing file lacked dates. Now they are included.
•     CSV files provide spaces between quotes for empty values.
•     Adjustments made to image processor. Failed files are logged at root level, and mis-matches (temporarily) are not automatically deleted. Also if an error occurs the resulting post is automatically deleted.

One issue, I remember that I've reported it already:

- upload image with the same title, as one of already published,
- make it draft, but not publish,
- go to that old, published earlier image. Page will contain two images. First will be shown new image, with prices and working download button, and below will be that old image.
- publish new image, and everything will be ok, there will be separate pages now.

This is visible only to admin, but can be confusing
When other user or guest clicks on old image thumb, will see "not found", until that draft image will be published.


Issue with Pay Now button still exists:

- add two items to cart,
- go to cart,
- delete one item,
- click on "agree..."
- button is still inactive.

V 2.4.4, Justhost, Firefox, logged in as admin  edit:  Adding Win 7 as I think that made a different with some results as well
  "             "          Chrome, logged in as possible client
I don't get this problem - did not before when it was mentioned either - wonder why some are different

[ajt]

I deleted all cookies from my site and now Pay button is ok.
Cookies are evil

I did lose changes I had made to some php files, those are overwritten now. But all the other settings are still fine. Minor work to change the php files. But good to know for the next update. Thanks.

[Kerioak~Christine]

Ron, do a child theme and put the php files  in there?

[Ron]

I just restored them from yesterdays back up in cPanel. Fixed in one minute

[Ron]

Hmm, all my logos are gone too from the IMG and INC folders. So updating the theme does remove all my logos as well. Something to consider for the next update.

[ajt]

Put your logo and other images in folder somewhere outside symbio theme. You can also upload them as Wordpress images (Media->Add new) and paste their addresses into Symbio fields.

Update on the Cablevision/Optimum SpamScrubber blocking registration e-mails:

I spoke with a representative at Cablevision/Optimum today and they are escalating the issue to a senior team, trying to determine what is causing the e-mails to be blocked by their SpamScrubber.  I've requested that they try to come up with a universal fix that would allow all Symbiostock e-mails through.  My concern is that it's not only blocking the registration e-mail but once someone does get the password it might block the download response and other e-mails too.

They said that it may take 24 to 72 hours for a response so I'll update during the week when I hear more.

That's nice of them! I hope they come back with a clear answer to the question what is causing the e-mails to be blocked so Leo can change the e-mail accordingly. - We can't possibly ask every ISP and every anti-spam/firewall software company to do what Cablevision/Optimum is doing here.

I was very happy with how seriously they are addressing the problem.  They see it as an issue that potentially affects all of their customers so they need to fix it.  The IT guy at my day job said that they have one of the more aggressive and sophisticated spam filter systems so hopefully it's not something that will occur with other systems frequently.

When they get this figured out I will count this as my most satisfying Symbiostock moment to date - fixing a bug for Leo so he doesn't have to do it!

I really understand that. I feel the same way and often wish I could do more to help Leo/the Symbiostock community.

Let's just hope they follow through and come up with a conclusive answer.

Here is a list of bug fixes since someone requested it (I'm sure I'm forgetting a few)

•     Though not necessarily a bug, sites in the marketing tab are sorted alphabetically.

    .[/li]
[/list]

the sites are still not sorting, eben after updating

[Leo Blanchette]

Thats neat. I remember this from quite some time ago.

Code: [Select]

ksort() function works differently on localhost than it does a real server. Thanks for noting that - I'll follow it up.

We're just uploading some RM pics to PictureMojo and linking from the image page to Alamy for purchase, via the referral links for the image, and setting 'Not live' to hide the file sizes and prices.

Unfortunately, these still appear in the Preview popup from the thumbnail pages. Can this be suppressed for 'Not live' images?

[Leo Blanchette]

neato!

Nice bug. Speaking of bugs, what if we just put the SS ladybug pick over it? It will save me from having to do a larger fix to exclude those pics. Pagination as well as other things rely on it.

We don't want to hide the thumbs in the search results, just the file sizes and prices in the preview popup.

I've just done something very similar, based on your idea:

http://ajotte.com/image/gdansk-4/

but I don't use "Not live" setting. Just when description contains tag with Alamy ref, price box is replaced by text box with link. I've deleted price table from popup. It is not there for all images. I don't see any side effect, and this table was not very useful

[travelwitness]

Hi Leo,

I'm getting a weird pricing error.

http://www.travelwitness.net/image/oilseed-rape-canola-biodiesel-crop-2/

My prices are set at $2 $5 $10 $20 on the Author Page but they are coming out as $0.2 $0.5 $0.1 $0.2

Any ideas?
