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?

I love that deal! Mind if I buy a few?

I think for now the system requires a "." 2.00, 5.00, etc.

[travelwitness]

Missed your chance ;-)

That's fixed it, thanks :-)

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.

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

Agreed the product table is not really needed in the popup, so I've deleted it too. Also useful when that's done is to increase the popup size a little. I've added

Code: [Select]

.modal-body {
  max-height: 700px;
}
to style.css so no scroll bars any more. Login/Register is less cramped as well.

the categories are still messed up in the xml files, as some of them were for the csvs

Since they appeared I have been editing the Exclusive/non exclusive, Model and property releases and went back and did all the models and previous ones.   Now I see that with one of the updates (not sure which) they have all reverted back to default   

If and when these are made live can we have a way of bulk editing them please?

[Leo Blanchette]

Thanks for the continued updates on bugs. This thread will be my last / main bug hunting thread since the main theme will not see many more changes (the improvements will now be child themes and plugins)

Anyway, thanks to CCSMedia I can now spend quite a few more days on the godaddy bugs. In fact I'm going to rewrite the mail features to avoid using wordpress's mail and avoid any possible clashes that may be happening. Also thanks to CCSMedia I'm going to be working on a command line use of imagemagick if its find-able on your server - and that gives benefits of added color quality (still more) and better use of resources.

I'm also doing Christos' site besides CCSMedia, so I won't be around much. Please help people as they continue to come into SY and go through the startup adjustments

[plrang]

+1 command line Imagemagick, would be cool

Leo - I'm still having the image processing error triggered by the data sheets - http://www.microstockgroup.com/symbiostock-development-area/100-stability-lets-fix-the-final-few-bugs-the-final-bug-stomping-thread/msg322406/#msg322406  Please don't overlook this one! 

[Leo Blanchette]

That one I let go a while because its not serious, but I will clean that one up too soon.

As long as it's not serious I can wait.

I'm still working on that problem with the [email protected] e-mail SpamScrubber trashing the e-mails before they get to the mailbox.  I was able to confirm that it's not a blocked ISP causing the problem and I did get one through in a test by deleting the header and Symbiostock hyperlink images, and the little header at the top that had the links to my site and Symbiostock.  I think I may have deleted one or two links at the bottom as well.  I think the problem is just too many links.  I've had further conversations with the CS reps at Optonline and I'm trying to get them to do some test registrations and see the e-mail themselves to try and analyze it.  I suspect this could be a problem with the post-purchase e-mail too but I haven't gotten that far yet to be able to test it since I'm not getting the password.

tried to change title & description:
================
Warning: unpack() [function.unpack]: Type A: not enough input, need 1, have 0 in /home1/cascolyi/public_html/pix/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/PHP_JPEG_Metadata_Toolkit/IPTC.php on line 263

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home1/cascolyi/public_html/pix/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/PHP_JPEG_Metadata_Toolkit/IPTC.php:263) in /home1/cascolyi/public_html/pix/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876
=================
click back & original title appears with modified desc, click update & same error appears

return to image, click edit and now just changing the desc causes same error

[Leo Blanchette]

Whenever you see "PHP_JPEG_Metadata_Toolkit" in the error description, that is one of two things -

1. Something "weird" in the file in regards to metadata is not agreeing with the script.
2. Its attempting to print / echo something when it shouldn't.

I'm going to see about repressing all errors since there are probably thousands of things that cause errors (dealing with metadata)

A small oddity I've just noticed: I've been going through the theme removing 'Royalty free' notices because we're also displaying RM pics.

When using the inbuilt all images page, as in http://www.picturemojo.co.nz/image/ the preview and image page icons don't display on hovering on the thumbnails. All the code seems to be in the page, as with the keyword and category searches, but no hover icons.

Good observation! I may have left out the script needed for that page to display the hover icons. Thank you!

Leo - an update on the e-mail issues I'm having with Optonline.net SpamScrubber blocking the e-mails for registration and purchases.  I've been working with their customer service to try and determine a cause and solution but I've managed to find something myself that seems to be the cause - it's the two Symbiostock links that are causing the blocks.

I tried forwarding a large variety of the registration letter and purchased file letter, disabling only one hyperlink, multiple variations on hyperlinks, only those at the very top in the header, only the images, my site image but not Symbio image, my links but not Symbio links, my links and one Symbio link... you get the picture.  The only e-mails that went through were those that had both hyperlinks to Symbiostock disabled.

They had initially referred me to a site where I could make sure my IP address wasn't blacklisted and it wasn't.  I don't know IP addresses in links would be picked up by their spam scrubber but if so, it could be that they are blocking your IP address in the links.  I'll be calling them to give them the findings to see if they have a solution short of removing the links.  It doesn't seem to be an issue of multiple links because when I remove all of mine and leave just the Symbostock links it still doesn't go through.

Only solution at this point seems to be removing the active links to Symbiostock in both all e-mails or if you could program something in the background that would send an alternate letter only if someone as @optimum.net as their e-mail extension.  Or maybe another button that says "click here if to resend your password" and have the alternate version of the e-mail sent.  That would solve the registration problem but we still have the issue of the "thank you for purchasing" e-mails being blocked due to the Symbiostock links.

[Leo Blanchette]

Thanks you for that hard work. Very likely this will be an issue with others too. I'm working on the email system right now since CrackerClips has set me up in a good situation to do so. I'll remove any un-necessary links in the customer emails, and take some other measures to simplify.

That hard work of yours is actually going to  help very much. Thanks.

I have some more info that may be helpful:
Optonline service reps said that if the site hosting your linked site is blacklisted the spamblocker could be picking it up in the link.  They use these two services to determine IP's to block so it may be worth checking to see if for some reason your IP is blocked.
http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi
http://www.spamhaus.org/

Also ran across this referencing blocked e-mails with optonline.net.   This seems to be more with the sending e-mail, not links in the e-mail, but perhaps it will yield a clue or two to let you keep an active link in the e-mail.  https://github.com/rfay/pals/issues/3

I have just noticed something, not sure if bug or intentional.

If you do a network search and someone has a lot of results, it does not matter how many there are, only four "pages" show up then it cycles back to the beginning.  If you want to see more you have to click on the page number boxes.

I was searching AJT's site to see how the network wide link worked.

[ajt]

It is intentional. When you are browsing your local results, one page contains 24 images. In network results there are the same pages, but now 24 images per page are presented in 4 cycles 6 images each. So you see 24 images too, but sliding. Next page=next 24 images and so on.

jpgs still not showing up when uploaded with pngs, has anyone else noticed this or just me ?

[Leo Blanchette]

Thanks for reporting these things guys. After I recover from the flood of tech issues I've had (right down to my hourly computer crashes) I should get my productivity back and refine the rest of these things. In the meantime, thanks for your patience and helping one-another

[Leo Blanchette]

BTW - even though I had a plan for datasheets, I'm going to kill them and simplify a bit. I want to go through and actually refine much of this stuff, and simplify.

Earlier in this thread I posted a bug in which I could only add one item to the user's cart and when I went to the file management area and deleted the item from the cart I got "Please log in to view your cart."  This is not a bug.  I do not understand it completely, but I think it has something to do with how I setup my wordpress URL (Setting->General:  "Wordpress Address") and my browser.

On my site, any interaction I made with a page once it was done loading occurred as though I was logged out.  For example, if I was on an image page and selected a size option the option highlighted properly, but the total in the green "Download" button was for the selection price, only.  If I selected a different size I would get the "Login/Register" overlay.

The fact that I use HTTPS Everywhere is Firefox and have an SSL certificate on the web site may have caused trouble for me.  My Wordpress address used http:// and so I think between that and my browser add-ons something was getting messed up.  Changing my Wordpress URL from http://... to https://... solved the problem.

So, no bug.

Edit:  the problem was not dependent on the add-ons in my browser as I was using different browsers to test the site.  I still do not understand exactly what was happening, but using the correct URL did the job.

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.
