Symbiostock Beta Test - Bug Stomping Thread.

[ajt]

Every time after adding new images this index will be generated so long, or first time only?

Edit: for 743 images it took about 48s on my server
And it works, thanks! 

[Leo Blanchette]

Every time. I'll also be  setting up a chron job eventually.

Just another thing to still add to the list Leo, on the image details page, such as here

http://thpstockphotos.com/image/peeling-paint-background/

can we get that button we talked about last week, instead of the text " Customer / Licensing Area (0.00)"? This is the part of the buyers process that is the most unobvious at this point. A nice big button, like the one you put for "Pay Now", needs to be there instead, for "View Cart" or "Review Selected Images" or "Go to Licenses & Images" or something, anything, to make it more obvious for the buyer.

BTW - this latest build seems very stable, and has fixed a lot of bugs. Nice work!

[Leo Blanchette]

Go to Licenses & Images is what it is now. I never even knew you had mentioned that  spot - I thought we were referring to customer area. Anyway, its ready for next update.

[Pilens]

Related images, cool feature. I like it. 

Just wondering...  what "related" exactly means here: I open the image page of "sand dunes in Death Valley" and I see ... a "Jellyfish"!

Mind you, I have only 10 processed images in total. So there isn't much choice for really related images.

Sweet, thanks Leo.

Sorry to say one little thing isn't working in the update. If you batch edit some draft images, that is tick multiple images and do a bulk edit for categories etc, then the Comments appear on those images, even if you have them turned off with the new option in the admin section.

[Leo Blanchette]

The settings are applied during image processing. After that you have to manually change them. So if you don't want comments on your images, they will be turned off when you process them (directly after upload).

After that you have to manually edit to turn them on...or in your case, turn them off. If you are in All Images tab and mass edit, they should work - unless I'm living in the twightlight zone or something... let me check this out...

So this feature will benefit people who install from scratch. In my case I have to go through 1,200 images and mass-edit them to turn off comments.

[Leo Blanchette]

I AM living in the twightlight zone. Unlike posts there does not seem to be a mass-edit available for comments. Thats not consistent in wordpress world!

I'll fix that tomorrow to just turn them off with a single click.

Ah I see, I was getting the initial "process" after uploading confused with "publish" to go live. Sorry, my bad.

I've just FTP'd some new ones up, so now I will try that bulk category change in drafts again.

[Leo Blanchette]

Don't bother within I'm going to get it to mass-edit in the author options screen. The other way will take a long time.

[ajt]

Comments are off, but this still persists:
Upload image, then process it, using "Process to Publish" option. Comments will be on.
When you choose "Process to draft" and edit after that, comments will be off.

I'm not getting the same results. If I turn off comments and process to publish or draft, comments are off on the image.

Let me update the theme one more time - maybe I inadvertently changed something that is working for me but not for you. Also Microstockman's cart verbage was changed on the image page.

[Leo Blanchette]

New version, lots of bug fixes - 1.3.1

Plus related images widget.

https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock.zip?raw=true

Example of similar images in action: http://www.clipartillustrations.com/image/little-blue-robot-blasting-off/

I can't promise its perfect, but it works pretty well.

[Leo Blanchette]

Checking out your sites, I see the related images works awesome. This was a very special function given to me from someone on wordpress.org ... I used your sites as examples

Great, thanks!

Nice one! Thanks for linking to my site too, chalk up another backlink for Google to enjoy

[cidepix]

I'll keep that in mind. At high image amounts some convenience is needed...

Here is the solution to the paypal issue...it pretty much helps the customer in case there is a paypal delay. I'm showing a screenshot so you know what to look for after you do a purchase (or test purchase)

Leo, this is not coming up when the problem occurs.. did you cancel it in the end?


Update: tried 5 test transactions (3 on internet explorer, 2 on google chrome)

- 2 vector purchases went through without issues on each browser..
- 1 small size purchase on IE was successful..
- 1 medium size purchase on chrome was successful
- 1 medium size purchase on IE was successful too, but had this error (had to refresh the page, but did not see the fix you mentioned in your post)

Not sure if this is a bug or I have done something wrong. I uploaded and processed about 40 images earlier today with no issue, but now I get this error. The image(s) i upload all process correctly and show on my site, but this pesky thing keeps coming up. Bug or me?

php memory limit is my guess, I increased my upload limit to 100mb and the server memory to 128mb and the problem went away.

I will try that. I did already increase the limits, but I think the upload limit is 20mb and the server memory is 512. Thanks Matt.

EDIT: I upped my limits on php.ini. Logged out and back in to wp. Deactivated theme, reuploaded parent theme, reactivated child theme. It is still not processing images correctly, but the one image I just uploaded did not give me that error log. after i clicked Save to Drafts and Process Images, it usually goes back to the blank Process Image page, but it is not doing that. All I see is the heading at the top process images, and the rest of the page is white. When I go to All Images, the upload is there, but the image preview is missing.

I will go back and reread through threads regarding processing.

I don't thinks its wise to increase the sever memory beyond 128mb for stability reasons - the rest should be fine.

Seems pretty solid now - great work - similar images works surprisingly well.

Couple of things...
1. Are extended licence options coming?
2. Can we loose the rounded corners on Similar images please? It makes my pano's look odd.

Template is shaping up pretty fast though, never expected you to develop it at such speed :-)

[daveh900]

I apologize if this has already come up.

I'm getting errors when doing an image search, seems to be related to the network:

[ajt]

Where is your hosting and what site is first in your network list? Not Bluehost to Bluehost network connection? It is probably the same error that I had on Saturday (it is somewhere in this thread). Sometimes php code cannot connect with network site, and tries to interpret empty results. It will happen from time to time, so I think that in future Symbio versions it could be resolved to something like "if cannot connect then skip network results for this site and don't try to connect in next 6 hours" (the last part to avoid delays is displaying next search results, because connection problem sometimes may last few hours).

Edit: now I am observing different strange errors on your site and I think that Leo will have to find that needle in a haystack

Bug in new Similars Widget:

I first wrote about this in another post, but after further research I think there is a small bug here.

The similars query is correctly pulling images that have correlation between the keywords, but when it displays them (either in the bottom or the side bar) it sorts the resultant images in the wrong order - the closest match is actually placed at the bottom of the panel rather than the top.

To demonstrate this bug, search for "solid gold coins treasure chest" in Google. My image is the first link - the closest similar image is at the bottom of the widget.

I think i moved it down to 128 after your post, but will double check tonight. I bumped it to 512 before on the recommendation of some post, somewhere in one of these threads, but no worries.

[cidepix]

this may not be a bug and I am not sure what's causing this but when processing more than "a handful of images" (7-10) I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error..

images process fine, and they are there.. no problems with that.. I am not sure why it crashes and "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message appears..

maybe I should stop using internet explorer?

I'm going to just keep chipping away at that error till it ceaces to exist. Your looking at symbiostocks most difficult error
