Title: Plugin/theme - Symbiostock eXtra Features - SYXtra
Post by: plrang on July 20, 2013, 12:12
I've been working on it since I installed my own Symbiostock site. Thanks to Leo for that great stuff.

It's a 2 in one hybrid plugin with a theme functionality to keep things ISOLATED,  EASY to use and maintain, and SECURE.

While updating / instaling or making any changes disable or configure properly the caching plugins, they won't allow to see changes made. You can enable them back later

That is looking really good - I especially like the square pictures in the box that expand as you put the mouse over them, they look good in the boxes, very neat

I've requested a search xml / csv file that leo or ajt is going to add

              Type of search (1= normal network, 2=promoted,)
   search string used
   url of current site
   url of network site X
   # images returned from networked site X
   time elapsed  (help test new search algorithms)
   date/time of search   

this would be stored like the current image & keyword xmls and anyone can then use the info

OT question: I can't see any image prices on your pictures  :P

Do I have to register to see the prices or do you only offer your images at the agencies and not on Symbiostock  :o ??

@Tinny & @Redneck, glad you like it, it'll be even better

@cascoly cool, although I don't use all the data yet, need to make the base features bulletproof which takes a lot of time

@click_click I'd love to enable Paypal, can't wait for my first sales from Symbio, but  English language is not my first, so before I edit all the EULAs and other info I decided to work on the site & plugin. Referral module with links to agencies is my test to check the SEO abilities of Symbiostock Theme

As I said Leo, you'll be the first to download. The file is not yet online. I know you thought I was only joking ;)

Yet before I wanted to put some news for the future users, to get them familiar with other development directions and features. Now I'm back to working hard to get it done in max. 2 days

Looks like some interesting features.

I did notice however when on an Image Page when I click on the large image it jumps to the bottom of the screen.
Mac OSX 10.8.1 and Safari

I tried to take a screen shot but it jumps right back if I move the cursor or touch the keyboard.
This is shot with my camera so you could see what happens
Doesn''t do it when I use FireFox.

Post by: plrang on July 21, 2013, 01:58
Thanks Steve for the screenshot, You're right, it's funny.. well it supposed to be a feature.  Created for some smaller screen resolutions to allow the image zoom to a larger size, mostly for panoramic images or landscape sized.
 
Except Windows I tested it on Safari and Chrome on iPad and an Android smartphone. Simple math, but some differences make it acts weird, thus It will  probably be moved to the experimental features until fixed

Will this work with Clean Theme 2?

Title: Re: New Plugin SYXtra - Symbiostock eXtra Features
Post by: plrang on July 25, 2013, 19:27
It will work with any theme, main or child.
For the Clean 2 you should probably disable the CSS options in SYXtra Settings panel.

Some widgets may be moved from sidebars because plugin adds own sidebars.

Here is info about missing widgets, easy to get them back, typical WP issue

I have taken a very brief look and here are a few comments:

- The thumbnails widget setup spells "comma" incorrectly (it has "coma", which means to be unconscious for an extended period of time).  This misspelling is also on the Thumbnails Widget Help page on your website (http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/ (http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/)).

- I took a look at the code for setting page views.  I could be wrong, but it seems that you don't filter out views by the Administrator.  If that is true, then I would check the user type and increment the view counter only if the user was a Subscriber (since this is the user type that customers that register are set to).  This way, views will only be incremented for real customers.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Thank you both @ShazamImages and @pling

As for the counter, it was introduced in early days at version 0.6, probably in the night as I look at it now;). I decided to save some coding time, because the administrator isn't browsing own photos each day, yet it's on the list and will be changed.

And yes, there are words I keep forgetting all the time, english language is not my super power though. THANKS A LOT for ANY spelling errors pointed out.

Update: views counter is fixed now and will be shipped with the next auto update and in the installation file on site

Important Note

Disable the or configure properly the caching plugins, they won't allow to see changes made. After all changes you can enable them back

But remember, if you changed something and you don't see the change - check the CACHE related plugins

Installed on my test site.  Playing with the widgets on the 4 column footer.  I noticed that the footer is the full screen width instead of the narrow width used by Symtiostock and Clean Theme.   Just doesn't look right, but I will keep playing.

The Footer Wide Bottom appears below the credits.  Is that what you intended?  See attached.

I like the license and views information on the image page.

I like the ability to change the overall font.

Post by: MicrostockExp on July 27, 2013, 07:09
I had a try at it, dynamic preview works pretty well on Firefox, bit difficult to use this feature on a tablet but can work.
For the featured images I would be nice like mentioned before to control the number of pictures to display.
Personally I prefer the rounded thumbnails to the square ones:)
Nice work!

Ok got something weird with most of the options clicked my website did not display the big size of the picture anymore.. I unclicked everything and it is back to normal

Yes, plugin works like the original Symbiostock Theme, although I'll add few more checkups/options to deal with such issues. Looks like the theme you use has just the fixed, narrow width.
Ther will be also added support for handling of colors in different areas and their sizes.

The Footer Wide Bottom appears below the credits.  Is that what you intended?  See attached.

Yes, just like it is shown in my demo site, you may use it or not, I like it, so it's there.

There is only one widget for thumbnails in SYXtra plugin: ! SYXtra THUMBNAILS

which can do almost anything, display any set of your images or any count up to 100.
I think you and MicrostockExp are talking about original widgets from Symbiostock Theme.

@MicrostockExp, yes, I have the same feeling with the tablet. Changes will come in time.

It's not editable at the moment, but it will be, almost ready.

In the mean time you may change the CSS, responsible part is below.

It's bold already but small-caps + font size make it look thinner. So you could remove that small-caps or just wait for another release.


Code: [Select]
.plr-license-in-content-block {
    font-size: 10pt;
}

.plr-license-type-editorial {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #b44;
    font-size: 10pt;
    font-variant: small-caps;
}

.plr-license-type-standard {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #3a3;
    font-size: 10pt;
    font-variant: small-caps;
}

.plr-license-description {

    color: black;

Thanks plrang, I can wait for the new release. Will it be possible to only use 1 line of license declaration instead of two like right now?

I am looking for just a simply note stating: "Royalty Free License" or "Editorial License".

Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed SYXtra plugin. Great work! I love it especially for the mouseover previews.

I noticed a couple of issues, though:

- Similars on image page (using the widget) don't show similars, just anything. Maybe I did something wrong?

- the categories list on no search results doesn't show anymore. Bug or feature?
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - (SYXtra 1.9.4)
Post by: stockphoto-images.com on August 03, 2013, 14:26
Whoops - my categories are gone as well  :-\

Oh, sorry - the categories list was just collapsed. Hmm, did SYXtra do that?

Are the enlarged image previews supposed to work on the thumbnails inside the widgets as well (Latest Uploads, Features...)?
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - (SYXtra 1.9.4)
Post by: Pilens on August 03, 2013, 14:45
I learn something every day! Didn't know I could collapse/uncollapse image categories here. Guess I have to tweak my css again as this feature is completely hidden unless you click in the right spot.

So is this a SYXtra feature? Or did it come unnoticed with some SYS update? Is there a way to have the categories uncollapsed by default?
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - (SYXtra 1.9.4)
Post by: plrang on August 03, 2013, 16:26
Glad you like it :)

Similars are described in the help here: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/ (http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/)

In short - putting widget on image page and checking the Display Similars will show you similar images RELATED to that active, 100% similars are available only by using the Master Tag (see my site)

Maybe I should change the name, help page about the Master Tag will show up soon.

Categories are collapsed for search to show the pics not the list. I understand you may not like it that way, so the planned feature to disable or change the behaviour moved up on the list.

I'd also appreciate an option to "collapse/uncollapse" the categories.

On my site it's an integral part that I need to be visible by default.

http://stockphoto-images.com/author/admin/?r=http://stockphoto-images.com (http://stockphoto-images.com/author/admin/?r=http://stockphoto-images.com)

Once I deactivate the plugin everything is ok.

Oh and I noticed that when I access an image using the enlarged preview when hovering over the thumbnails function, the image on the "product" page appears to leaded twice. It flickers for a moment. This happens with every image page I pick. Once the plugin is turned off the images load normal and don't flicker anymore.

Just an observation. No idea if this is intentional. ;)

Thanks for your clarification.

I will play with Display Similars. How does search order (e.g. random) work with Display Similars checked? Shouldn't similars get ordered by degree of similarity (however that is measured)?

I don't even know yet if I like the collapsed categories or not. So it's definitely no biggie. I am not going to deactivate your plug-in because of that. I like the mouseover previews too much.  :D
It is just that I worked in my own solution for this problem spot. I changed the text of the theme and added a local link for jumping down to the network results. Now with your plugin and collapsed categories my solution looks somewhat silly :-[. I'll have to think about this and see what I'll do here. Some option to change the behavior would be appreciated in any case. 

Edited:
Yes, Categories on my Author Page are gone as well. I guess this must be an unintended side-effect called a BUG!!!   :o

Pirang, I'm working with SYxtra this weekend. Nice features!

Stupid question probably but... can you tell me what the "Master TAG" is that's needed for every image? Do I create that, and if so what should it be? Or is it something that's already available (but I just haven't found)?

I'd appreciate guidance on that.  Thanks so much.

See here (scroll down to "SIMILAR images on IMAGE PAGE"): [url]http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/[/url] ([url]http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/[/url])


OK! I got it now. Thank you, Shazam!!

Thank you, Plrang, for providing that extra help with the plugin. I appreciate it!

Now, duh... I do have one more question about this line: "Tip: This tag must exist in your regular tags also."

So, uh, duh... is the "tag" in this context the same thing as a "keyword"? If that's not it, please tell this non-developer what a "tag" is.

I installed the plugin but all I got was a bunch of straight cornered stacked thumbnails. Nothing fancy. I deleted it again. Maybe I did something wrong.

Post by: plrang on August 06, 2013, 14:29
Ron, plugin uses only the clean&fresh Symbiostock Theme and an empty child theme, so it must be something you've changed.

After you install the plugin on a clean SYS it looks exactly like my site,
there are 23 active plugins.

On your plugin download page it says that if the plugin has been previously installed and there is a new version available that I should have an "Update" option available.

I don't  :P

Shall I just remove the 1.9.4 version and then install the latest one?

There is a magic button in wordpress CHECK AGAIN

So you can know earlier if there are any updates available. Otherwise the standard check interval is about 12h.

Also on the syxtra System Info page you have an instant info what version is available and installed.

I'm going to change that info  into a WP notice. Glad it works :)

Thanks for bringing back the uncollapsed categories!

I also like the max pixel dimensions of the enlarged previews!

I still get the one time flicker when I actually reach a "product page".

Do you think it will be possible at some point to have the enlarged previews on all thumbnails of our Symbiostock sites (latest uploads, featured, similar)?
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - SYXtra
Post by: plrang on August 07, 2013, 11:19
Yes @pling, looks like a touch device feature, should fix that today (32 Celsius and over is killing me)

@stockphoto-images.com new features on the way

Had no time yet to take care of the 'flicker', it supposed to work like here http://stock.imagerion.com/image/teutonic-grand-master/ (http://stock.imagerion.com/image/teutonic-grand-master/) - I see slow fade in. But I know what makes it flick, so will get to it soon.

Enlarged prevs on other widgets (not from syxtra) need the Symbiostock source to be edited. There is no enough information at the moment.

Wiil do, after I clear my current coding queue
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - SYXtra
Post by: stockphoto-images.com on August 07, 2013, 13:03
Great that you know what's causing the issue. I'll take the fade if there is no other option but I don't "need" it.

On some Symbiostock sites (especially on Bluehost) loading times are a bit long and dragging out big previews with additional effects may cost us a buyer or two because it's added time until the visitor finally sees the image.

I hope this makes sense. Just having the big preview pop up would be perfectly fine (for me).

 :D

Keep up the great work!

I have been playing with this since the first release and think it is a great addition to Symbiostock - especially the latest release  (1.9.7.) which has an neat extra feature - try hovering over any of the images in the widgets on my front page or if you have it installed on your site any of my images that come up in the searches (try Dobermann) :)   It should work with all my pictures but not necessarily everyone else's (not yet anyway).

Hi plrang, just installed the plugin yesterday and need to say it is a really great improvement.
However, I noticed two things that I´d like to see in future releases:

1. Ability to Display Best Of images - saw this mentioned elsewhere as well

2. The related images feature to me does not look as sophisticated as the original one by Leo - seems to look for main keywords from the latest images on downwards whereas Leo seems to build a collection from all available images which brings better results especially in larger image collections!

Thanks for taking those into account!

Post by: CrackerClips on August 08, 2013, 10:42
Hi plrang, I just installed your plugin a couple of days ago. Really like it!  Love the enlarged image previews.  I see in this latest version (which I haven't updated to yet) that the enlarged image previews contain new exclusivity and copyright information.  Is there an option to include this info or is it automatic?  I personally feel for me, that there is enough covering the photo already. Between my watermark and the max resolution of the image showing (which I like by the way) I don't feel the need to add more copyright info.  Before I update I want to know if I have a choice on what appears?  Great plugin, thank you!
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - SYXtra
Post by: plrang on August 08, 2013, 11:11
@franky242

Best Of images - you mean Featured? It will be added, can't tell the date yet, but soon as always.
In the mean time maybe you'd find this feature useful: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/including-thumbnails-in-posts-or-pages/ (http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/including-thumbnails-in-posts-or-pages/)

2. it's just another version, much faster and it works ok if you are strict with your keywords. otherwise you'll have to use Leo's solution at the moment.
If you'd like to know more: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/master-tag-help/ (http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/master-tag-help/)

I explained there why syxtra related work as it is and how to get 100% similar images. It's just my solution for keeping the speed and accuracy.

It may be hard to get what you need with this feature while using those keywords for sample image: http://franky242.net/shop/image/mature-man-and-young-woman-flirting/ (http://franky242.net/shop/image/mature-man-and-young-woman-flirting/)

Keywords which may be unrelated: blue, cheerful, cute, elderly,
enjoy,  fun, human, life, lifestyle, modern, portrait, Stuttgart, successful,
 white

It works for me well, because I keep reediting my keywords even after my pics was submitted to micros. It's also a SEO thing.
I know about the keyword weights etc, it's just another solution I decided to use.

EVERYTHING will be improved, I work on it less than 2 months, so I hope you can use it some way. :)
Title: Re: Plugin - Symbiostock eXtra Features - SYXtra
Post by: plrang on August 08, 2013, 11:16
@CrackerClips - © and exclusivity is currently added in network search previews (you have an empty network If I'm correct), also in the 1.9.7, you may update.
It won't show in your internal widgets, BUT it will show one day, because I like it.

Then I'll add an option to disable it. Don't worry:) I love switches, soon will need to figure out how to collect all those checkboxes without distracting the user experience.

Hi plrang, thanks for your extensive feedback.
Yes, I was referring to "Featured Images" when mentioning best of images. The inclusion in pages might indeed be a flexible way also for the homepage - however I´d love for this feature to also support categories in addition to tags. Since I already have a "Best of" category or an "Architecture" category, this might be a great addition to highlight related photos.

Regarding the related images, the master tag is definitely a good addition but looking into the analytics of my site proves me right to also add these "close to spam" keywords. Sometimes even I am surprised by which keywords people end up on my site! :-)

Will wait curiously for any additions, did not mean to put you in a rush!

HI plrang, unfortunately I need to bother you again since I found out a rather disturbing thing: Your plugin seems to interfere with slideshow plugins: I currently have Slideshow by Stefan Boonstra included on the homepage http://franky242.net/shop/ (http://franky242.net/shop/) to display a full width slideshow above the text. It currently does not show up and after I deinstalled several plugins I had to find out that once I turn off SYXtra, the slideshow displays. One I turn SYXtra back on, it won´t. Out of curiosity I installed two more slideshow plugins, all seem to suffer from the same effect. Might this have to do with the way you implemented the enlarge function? Please tell me if I can provide you with anything that might simplify your debugging - SYXtra is updated to the latest version of today. Thanks...

@franky242 You saw it working on my site

Yet it doesn't work for you, maybe because it's coded in a weird fashion.
Like it uses the LINK tag in BODY below the footer? (not allowed)

Code: [Select]
</div><link rel='stylesheet' id='slideshow-jquery
While sometimes your site does not fully render and there is no ending
Code: [Select]
</body>
</html>

It likes to happen right before that <link tags, I see some unclosed tables in the code also (around paypal area) etc.. etc..

I'd suggest you to drop this plugin, or try it's own forum to solve things ( http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery (http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery) ).
There is WP 3.6 already. I can't debug other plugins especially when I don't find them stable, I 'work for Symbio' and trying my best to stick with the rules. Sure I make mistakes as anyone else and bugs may happen.

But FIIRST do a clean up, disable ALL unnecessary plugins including syxtra, go to the http://validator.w3.org/ (http://validator.w3.org/) and then add one by one to see what's happening.

Otherwise you'll never finish it

I have my test size running with SYXtra and am enjoying the features.  I do have a few questions.

Did the slider issue get fixed?  I am using SlideShow and not having any problems so far.

Is there a way to modify the thumb nail size?  When I put the SYXtra thumb nail up against the Symbiostock standard thumb nail, there is a significant different is size.  I would prefer the larger Symbiostock  thumb nail as the standard.

@David slider issue was related to 2 sites, only 1 left and it doesn't seem to be in direct connection with the plugins, just some coincidence, but I have it in mind while cleaning up the code.

Square thumbnails can't be changed at the moment because they use tricky CSS to get the center position maintaining the full square size for most of the portrait and landscape image sizes.

There are 2 more thumbnail styles on the way, one is almost finished and will come in the next release. Also using some tricks. Second one should be completely different and I think that much better, but it'll take some time

Ok, guys, something I did on one of my sites, but I don't understand why the Similar Images and Related Images are not working. It just dropping me there images aleatory. For example, for this image: http://food.ezeepics.com/image/ready-for-dinner-paella/#.Uhx4Lj89W1x (http://food.ezeepics.com/image/ready-for-dinner-paella/#.Uhx4Lj89W1x) I set the Meta tag to "paella" so, similar images would show only paella images. But is not like this. Where I did some mistake? Need a hand.

But the Related are still added all...There is a way to have a More Related display in order to not add all the photos there? I have only food on the site, means that will add each image at Related, for me display a dessert photo on a second course page not means anymore "related".

Also what means:  #.UhyzFD89W1w I have at the end of each photo link after the slug? What do I have to do in order to rmove this and remain with the clean link?

I think it would be great if you could make another Master Tag for related images.
Master Tag 1 for Similars and Master tag 2 for related. In this way Related should be classified in a better way.

Master Tag used 1 word because Symbiostock Theme couldn't search for multi word tags.
You have only 8 pics on the page, so  your results may not look amazing.

Also for example : Spanish Traditions – Paella

contains  many NOT RELATED tags:

colorful, cooking, cuisine, detail, dinner, dish, eat, european, fish, food, fresh, gastronomy, gourmet, meal, Mediterranean, mussel, nutrition, paella, plate, prawn, recipe, rice, seafood, shrimp, shrimps, spanish, traditional, typical, valencia, valencian, valenciana

You need a better (more strict) keywording, otherwise even your SEO will get hurt. I really suggest to read what I wrote on site.

What is the name of the image file that you are trying to upload?  Does it contain dots / periods (.) or other non-alphabetic/numeric characters?

The processor doesn't like file names with dots / periods (.)  I also believe that it doesn't like file names with quotes (' or ").

Run ftp connection and go to folder wp-content/plupload/uploads.
Maybe there is a problematic file with weird name or somehow corrupted. Delete it. Leave only upload.php and .htaccess. You can also enter tmp folder and make it empty. Then try to upload again. If page uploader doesn't work, you can use ftp and put files into wp-content/plupload/uploads, then process them.

Post by: Jo Ann Snover on August 28, 2013, 16:47
I thought this sounded great and downloaded and installed the SYSXtra thumbnails widget.

I didn't get the results as you show on your examples - my images were crammed together with no intervening space and they were stacked vertically, not across. I tried this in the under content area (with 6 images) and in each of the three areas across the bottom (3 each). I took the widgets out again as they looked so wrong.

I am using CleanTheme 2.0 as my child theme - is that why your plugin doesn't work for me as it does for you?

I have Symbiostock 2.6.1 and WordPress 3.6

I couldn't see any setting that would let me choose the orientation of my thumbnails. What did I do wrong?

Also, I didn't get the enlarged image preview (loupe) on any of the thumbnails - is there something else I would have to install to get that?

Update: I found the place to enable the image loupe and after I did that, my thumbnails looked normal (space around them) and were arranged horizontally as I expected. Not sure if the vertical orientation was related to not having the image preview enabled, but it's working OK now.

I really like the idea of having some row of topical items on the front page that I can change via a few keywords or categories - I put one there that said "Fall is coming" for example.

I would love to see the ability to say 1 row or 2 rows of thumbnails rather than specifying a certain number. 10 fits across on my computer or laptop, but on an iPad it is more than one row and doesn't fill the final row

Right now, if you click on any of the thumbnails on my front page, you'll get the "Oops" page instead of the image page - until Leo fixes the problem where the wrong base URL is used (picking up the WordPress location versus the Site URL), all the SYXtra links are broken. I'm assuming/hoping that once Leo has the fix for the overall problem, SYXtra will just work.
Title: Re: Plugin/theme - Symbiostock eXtra Features - SYXtra
Post by: plrang on August 29, 2013, 06:44
Many people use different child themes, like the Clean one and syxtra plugin is working fine there. Of course they may be some isues because syxtra plugins is a THEME also. It's a hybrid.

Currently you shouldn't use it because of your link structure which is not the DEFAULT recommended link structure for Symbiostock.
I'll probably fix that, but not in the next release. And I think it's not a work for Leo, reather the fact it's the LIVE DEVELOPMENT and I just can't think of every possible parameter combination.
SYS 2.6.1 and WordPress 3.6 should be fine also.

Your link structure
http://www.digitalbristles.com/blog/image/ (http://www.digitalbristles.com/blog/image/)

default would be
http://www.digitalbristles.com/image/ (http://www.digitalbristles.com/image/)

Same issue as as
http://picturebreeze.com/stock/photos/image/ (http://picturebreeze.com/stock/photos/image/)
default would be http://picturebreeze.com/image/ (http://picturebreeze.com/image/)

So the generated links are not correct.

Thumbnails orientation depends on the sidebar you use, full width or a column.
There is no setting in widgets to change the layout of thumbnails, you can do it only in Syxtra Settings (square or not) or in the shortcode.

New incoming release 1.9.9 has an option to choose from 3 different styles.
Also it's more mobile friendly, I use iPad and different smartphones to improve that experience - just need some time to adjust.
You can browse my site to see how does it look on mobile devices right now. Still few places to fix.

That rows in the thumbnails layout is something I got in mind since the beginning, yet it can't be easy corrected by using simple CSS rules without sacrificing the SEO or site speed (like hiding some content). It will need some more dynamic code, but I got it on the list.

So my advice for you at the moment is to disable temporarily the plugin, because inactive links gonna hurt your SEO and customer experience.
You can leave it inactive to get update anouncments and I will post here the information if the link issue got fixed.

All the best

How do I make in order to not have the STANDARD LICENCE written under the picture in the image page? http://food.ezeepics.com/image/fuzzy-kiwi-fruit/?r=http://food.ezeepics.com (http://food.ezeepics.com/image/fuzzy-kiwi-fruit/?r=http://food.ezeepics.com)

You can disable it in settings, but if you'd like to have the Editorial shown at the same time? - it's currently not available to switch though

No, I think you didn't understand me...I don't want to disable the Licence. I don't want to have that write under the image. Is written already under the prices table that the image is available with Standard and Extended licence, don't need it written under the image too....Is a layout issue, but I don't know how to make it.

As I said, disable it in syxtra settings page

I think disable is not the same with not seeing the text. I don't want to disable the licence, I sell all images with Standard and Extended. I only don't like to see it written twice.

I did like this, but I'm not speaking about that, if you look with attention at my image page you'll notice that I have the written under the image too. Is what I marked with red in the image below I don't want that:

You just did what I wanted to tell you from the first time, it's only an information, does not have any impact on your licensing, hold on tight :)

I was offline for a while and maybe didn't get some info about a problem I ran into with the latest version of SYXtra:

On my home page www.stockphoto-images.com (http://www.stockphoto-images.com) I had my six latest uploads right below the big banner. It worked all fine until I upgraded.

Now the six previews are squished together and not spaced out like before. What do I have to change in the code or CSS to either spread them out again or add six more thumbnails to utiliye the entire page width? Caching is turned off.

Thanks.

Currently just try to set up more than 6 images to get the full width. I'll look if the change I've made was necessary

Thanks for your response. I don't know what happened but I did realize that I can change the amount of images in the widgets settings (duh).

I changed it from 6 to 12 and then saw that the images showed up again like they did before the update (spread out with frame). That confused me.

I set it back to 6 images and now it looks perfect - like it was before the update. No idea why this morning the 6 images were crammed together without a border...  :o

I have a link structure http://7horses.eu/wp/blog/image/ (http://7horses.eu/wp/blog/image/)image_name/ and I understood this is a problem (syxtra's href link to images doesn't work)  but I don't know how to change it without breaking my site. Any hints what I can do ?  I deactivated syxtra for now.

SOLVED for now

I've changed in symbiostock-xtra.php

define('PLR_WP_HOME_URL', home_url() ); // instead of  get_site_url()
to
define('PLR_WP_HOME_URL', 'http://7horses.eu/wp/blog/' (http://7horses.eu/wp/blog/'));

just have to remember this when upgrading.
