CURRENT VERSION: 1.3.3
https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock.zip?raw=true
With so many fixes done, Symbiostock is now fairly high functioning, and we can officially call this a Beta test.
I've opened up a fresh bug thread to relate to the Beta Test of Symbiostock - not the initial release.
Please list bugs / errors only, and things that are obviously not functioning as intended.
Since problems have been reported in a number of threads, I'm quite certain I've missed a few. If some helpful people are up to it, please help me list them so that I can see them all and address them properly. It appears problems are scattered now and only effect certain people, but most people are running smoothly.
Bugs to stomp:
- Admin page still has some layout quirks, extra save button after save (must fix html) - Appears to be fixed, but tell me if otherwise.
- "Page - Fullwidth" template needs title area.
- CSS on dropdown menu gets funky when you are on active tab.
- CSS has to be optimized for devices. Some awkward problems on tablets/devices.
- Verify that category slugs are protected from matching keyword slugs (since this causes issues) - Seems this is ok, but update me if not.
- Do not force category creation on re-install. Instead give "generate categories" option.
(- PRIORITY XML processor crashes with unknown entities. Needs to be fixed, especially since people might put unknown entities into their post content. This APPEARS to be fixed...but wait for surprises :D)
- Sometimes the network results hang down over footer in an unattractive way. Footer must clear network results.
- A slight flicker in main menu since last update where adjustments were made to menu - CSS problem easy fix.
- The magnifying glass preview shows options available even if disabled on image page.
- Unordered Lists need bullets and better styling.
- Better control of comments under images
- Stop menu from "transforming" when mobile menu is not available.
- Fix network links so the xml-fetching variables do not show.
- Login link in welcome email points to wrong destination.
- Sometimes after purchase item still appears in cart until page refresh. See if this is paypal delay or other issue.
- Some people submit files with an uppercase ".JPG" extension. The processor is still tripping over these.
-
So.. let's start :)
When I click on "All images" in admin area, I see error message
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 44 bytes) in /home/ajt/ftp/stereoshutter/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1545"
I have 515 images now published.

Thats an important one to start on too! 64 megabytes is your limit apparently. I'll get back to you, I'd rather you be able to work within that limit than to have to find a way to increase it. I'm finding a lot on wordpress regarding this issue. I suspect the image post type could use less.
-
I think that only solution is not to load all images info into memory. Less memory per image means only few more images on the list and problem will be again. And I noticed, that one image occupies about 70KB in memory, and when SEO plugin is installed, even more.

Thanks. Gonna see about some adjustments. This might not necessarily be a theme problem from all the research I'm doing. But it has solutions.
EDIT: Research is showing it should not be using that much. Which is hopeful...it means that its something in my theme that can probably be fixed.
-
CURRENT VERSION: 1.2.6
FIXED the above issue. Please use download link on original post.
The problem was the custom post type needlessly being declared as "Hierarchical" meaning wordpress would expect an image could have child images (like a category can have child categories)...this cause the query to get much more complicated and use up more memory.
In short, the only memory used now should be whats needed for the page being displayed on "All Images" admin tab.
-
I am not able to search and see results from my network. I have all five slots filled, I have Activate checked on the Symbiostock page...is there any other trick? I am using the keyword avocado. I know one of my network people has an image with that keyword but it is not showing up. I am entering the keyword in the search box without using Image Categories.
-
Can you remind me what your site is? (future reference, I'll be changing the search query to be far more flexible within a few weeks).

Thanks for reporting. Your network results are crashing without an error displayed, hence you don't see footer. Making network results a little more self-error-regulating is also on my to-do list.
In the meantime:
1. You may have added your network friends wrong. For instance, if the site is www.thenetwork (http://www.thenetwork) .com/their-sub-level/ make sure you have the /their-sub-level/ included, not just www.thenetwork (http://www.thenetwork) .com
2. Another problem could be your friend (in this case the first one? since I see no results at all?) could have their permalinks NOT set to "post". Setting permalinks to "post" is essential on the network (and SEO btw).

Thanks Leo, I will check those things. When I do a search on klsbear's site (she has avocado images) I see her results and my image shows up correctly in her results. Just not the other way around. I'll do some checking and see.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean you can't see my footer, it might be that fix you did that added the capability of people to change the footer. I was doing it by altering the footer.php file, but that all shows correctly when I go to it from my laptop. Can you explain further what you mean, or do I not need to worry about it?
Never mind, I know what you mean. Sorry. Long day.
-
OK, I went back and recopied and repasted everyones URLs in and now it's working.
CANCEL THAT BUG REPORT ON IMAGES NOT SHOWING. :) Thanks Leo.
-
Menu bug remains, with CSS dropping when no link is attached to a menu item. I'm not very good at debugging, but it seems that all the menu items refer back to bootstrap.min.css except for when it breaks, it goes to style.css and line 223 which doesn't appear to have any styling associated with it? Not sure if I've got that right or not Leo, but its my best guess!
Also, I have uploaded 2 screen grabs of some of the admin layout issues. the two buttons thing is on every page, not just the ones I have posted.
In positive news, the "- stock photo" appending now works properly! :)

-
Another little quirk, the "Page - Fullwidth" template doesn't include the page title in the actual page (which the other templates do, well I haven't checked them all but the default ones do).
It just leaves two grey lines with nothing in it.
-
I listed the problem above. Yet I'm not having that problem! Just to be sure, are you using any plugins which might be interfering?
Edit: I think the feed I have imported from Symbiostock.com is messing up the starting html (out of my control), so the ajax page is being messed up too as a result, and hence the footer of that page is riding up. I'll get to that as soon as I can.
-
Probably, not really a bug. Could be a host issue.
But I installed two Symbiostock in one domain. One in the root, and one in the subfolder.
In the root, there is no problem when I process the images.
But in the subfolder, I get an error when processing an image.
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'WideImage_InvalidImageSourceException' with message 'File 'http://cheapvectors.com/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/watermark-cheapvectors.png' (http://cheapvectors.com/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/watermark-cheapvectors.png') appears to be an invalid image source.' in /home/cheapvec/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/wideimage/lib/WideImage.php:225 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: WideImage::loadFromFile('http://cheapvec (http://cheapvec)...') #1 /home/cheapvec/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/wideimage/lib/WideImage.php(183): call_user_func(Array, 'http://cheapvec (http://cheapvec)...') #2 /home/cheapvec/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php(112): WideImage::load('http://cheapvec (http://cheapvec)...') #3 /home/cheapvec/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php(1013): symbiostock_image_processor->symbiostock_process_image('vector_beachumb...', 23) #4 /home/cheapvec/public_html in /home/cheapvec/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/wideimage/lib/WideImage.php on line 225

Great, thanks for looking into those two bugs Leo. Ill keep posting them as I come across them. Will be spending a bit of time over the next week or so on the site, so should find any that still lurk!

Looks like your uploading to the theme folder, which will delete the image when you reinstall. Are you using the wordpress media area to hold the file? Then plug in the link from there?

So that is a little strange :D If its definitely a bug I'll add it.
-
I deleted and reinstalled a new WP on the /blog folder.
It processed one image with no problems. I will try uploading more images later.
I'll be out for a while.
-
V 1.2.6 Chrome and Firefox
Not urgent and might not be a bug
I am sure a few days ago in the headings we could have categories for instance - Animal-Dog--Dobermann - now it only goes to main and child, not grandchild
-
I haven't been able to upload images over 10mb. I contacted Bluehost about increasing my upload size limit. This was their response:
"In your php.ini file, locate the following line:
upload_max_filesize = 10M
Modify that entry to read:
upload_max_filesize = 100M
You will also need to update the post_max_size entry.
Your php.ini file should be in your public_html directory. If you do not have a
php.ini file, you will need to install one. To install a default copy of php.ini
that you can modify, log into your cPanel then click on the PHP Config icon located
under "Software/Services". Once there, choose the version of PHP you will be using
and click "Save Changes" -- this will place php.ini into your public_html directory.
You can modify it using your favorite FTP program or by going to the File Manager
located in the Files section of the cPanel."
I didn't have a php.ini file, so I had to create one. I then changed the values as instructed. But now, my images won't process, regardless of size. I just get a screen that says "Process Images". I don't know if I chose the wrong php file (there were several options) or if it's something else. I may have to restore my backup.
-
Go to your Symbiostock->Testing page and find in PHP Core table memory_limit entry. If it is lower than 256M,
then put in your php.ini line
memory_limit = 256M
and try to process files.
Look in this table also for other values, if they are the same as you put them in php.ini.
-
Try:
##
[php]
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 512M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (62MB)
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 25M
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 35M
#####
Name it:
php.ini
and place it in your :
public_html
file
I have no idea if this will work but it is the relevant bits I have pulled out of mine. You can adjust the figures but these currently work for me (using Justhost)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two Positive changes
1. When you select All Images / Drafts to work on it takes you back to drafts when you return to all images, much easier than keep having to select that option.
2. Not sure if this is a change or not, just not noticed it before. If you accidentally upload duplicate image and then navigate to the front end page for that image it shows both of them - means you can easily delete the second one
-
My domain.com/blog is processing images now without any errors. So deleting and reinstalling was a good thing.
Still a problem remain, it would not process preview images with 5000px at least on one side.
-
Sometimes searching with active network is very long (over 30s), and in server log I found
"[Tue Apr 09 20:06:32 2013] [error] [client 108.59.8.80] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = 8 LIMIT 1 made by require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), include('/themes/symbiostock/taxonomy-image-tags.php'), get_footer, locate_template, load_template, require_once('/themes/symbiostock/footer.php'), include_once('/themes/symbiostock/modal-login.php'), include_once('/themes/symbiostock/register_symbiostock.php'), get_permalink, get_post, WP_Post::get_instance

Not a bug maybe, I know that network communication needs improvement and some kind of reaction for timeouts etc, but maybe this info will be somehow helpful for Leo. :)
-
Yes, the network results will get their own special attention in a while. After improving search I'm going to devote a few weeks to the networking system. When its done it will be like your own little simplified Symbiostock social network.
A little secret: A caching plugin will fix your load time issue. Downside: If your network adds something new, their old results will still show (even if they were empty) until you update the cache.
http://wpmu.org/which-wordpress-cache-plugin/ (http://wpmu.org/which-wordpress-cache-plugin/)
-
Ok, I've added this but how often should I clear the cache? We're all madly uploading images so does it make sense to leave it off until things have settled a bit?
-

Yes
Your category / images / blogs / pages are mainly what gets crawled, and those are pretty fast. So unlikely bad score from google. Your users (which still have yet to start accumulating) will notice it though. You can afford to hold off on caching I would say.
-
Excellent. Ok, I'm starting to put out the word about my site so i'm hoping to be first with a real sale. :) I'll keep y'all posted!
-
I just wanted to ask if someone is using some kind of cache and how it works with Symbiostock :)
I'll try it.
For me network communication is very slow. My server is in Europe, so pings are about 200-300ms and it can discourage others to link with my site, because it will slow down their searching.
Nice to read, that Symbio network will be much faster, but I think that it is not stupid idea to move my server to bluehost. Networking with Symbiostockers having servers there should be very fast even now :)
And, by the way, something I mentioned earlier:
My comments are off and they are not displayed, but when image is processed directly with 'Process to publish" function (without editing), comment settings are overrided in image page and fields for comment are visible. When this page is edited and updated, they disappear.
-
I wonder if we should have a list of live sites so that they do not currently link to those that are still being worked on.? I think I am at least a couple of weeks away as want to have a good number of images up plus get the faster search Leo is talking about as they can be a bit slow at times, more so if it cannot find images from network members than when it can I think
-
Thanks for the tips, ajt and Tinny. I'll give them a try.
-
A little off topic, but here's my first real write-up about Symbiostock:
http://www.photomining.com/r/?p=556 (http://www.photomining.com/r/?p=556)
-
None of the changes that I tried worked, so I just restored it back to the original config and now it works fine. Even the large images are uploading and processing now. Go figure.

Leo - can you please add to your list of bug fixes to-do, that menu CSS one? I mentioned it in another thread, about the menu losing styling if it has no link attached to it?
Thanks

4 little things to consider...(as numbered in the screenshot)
1. The buyer is presented with a randomly generated number based on the number of the image (when it was uploaded) - Can we please get rid of that number, and give the file's Title here instead?
2. Needs a $ sign before the figure (or correct sign depending on currency)
3. Instead of Get Licenses, which new buyers probably wont understand, perhaps "Complete Transaction" or "Purchase" or "Proceed to Payment"?
4. Why are these lines here? Where is content for this section found?

Network search error. Not sure if bug or host issue.
http://cheapvectors.com/blog/search-images/vectors/ (http://cheapvectors.com/blog/search-images/vectors/)
-
It should be working. Are you sure you set everything up properly?
-
I got it, my fault, I put a wrong URL. ;D
-
Thats ok. If you look under enough rocks your bound to find a bug. Keep looking! ;D
-
But this one, it baffles me.
I have a keyword nature at least from two files. But it appears Page not found.
http://cheapvectors.com/blog/?image-tags=nature (http://cheapvectors.com/blog/?image-tags=nature)
Then I search vectors, no problem, I found my two files from my own site.
http://cheapvectors.com/blog/search-images/vectors/ (http://cheapvectors.com/blog/search-images/vectors/)
Then I search clouds, no problem, I found one of my files and from several from network sites.
http://cheapvectors.com/blog/search-images/clouds/ (http://cheapvectors.com/blog/search-images/clouds/)
-
So one of your images has the keyword "nature" in it and its not getting found?
-
Yes, it cannot be found.

http://cheapvectors.com/blog/image/apple-painting-vector-icon/ (http://cheapvectors.com/blog/image/apple-painting-vector-icon/)
-
The only way that *might* be happening right now (and its technichally a bug) is that somewhere the slug for the keyword might have been changed. If you go into your keywords area in the admin, you might have a keyword "nature" that has a slug "nature-2". let me know if thats the case and I'll add it. It should have been fixed, but there is probably still ways to cause it to happen.
-
Oh, you're right. Got it. It probably got confused with the Nature category.
Now, thinking of how to fix this.
-
BUT you DID find a bug! Unless thats left over from a few weeks ago, that should not have happened! So the BIG question is did that just happen, or had you already established your categories/keywords in the initial releases?
-
I just change the slug of the Nature category into nature-images.
-
I don't even remotely agree with no1.. numbers are good..
The rest: I don't mind..

I had this one the other day, and you partly fixed it, Leo. What had happened was that the custom category 'Australia' and the keyword were both pointing to the same database reference, so if I edited the slug for one the other changed as well. I fixed it by deleting the category and remaking it, then reassigning it to everything with that keyword.

4. Why are these lines here? Where is content for this section found?
This is where technically you can have some verbage or other relevant stuff to say. If you push "edit" on this page you can add stuff. It will go between the lines. I'd like to put some default stuff in there if user doesn't add anything. Or just lose the lines if content is empty.

Ah ok, gotcha. I like it, was hoping I could put some stuff in there.
Cidepix didn't like idea number 1, and I'm thinking maybe he has a point - titles may not be unique, so a number AND the title could be beneficial (is that what you were thinking Cidepix? Or you just think its a stupid idea anyway?)
-
I had a perfectly logical reason for putting it there actually - I was too tired to write in the code to get the title.

Ha, can't beat that logic. I stand corrected. ;)
-
Numbers are unique.. and the files are stored in the same folder.. if they are not automatically given a number they will overwrite each other in case the name is same..
This means two of your totally different images will offer the same download file.. and you may only notice it when a customer complains..
I believe it's great as it is and there is no reason to waste time for something that has no importance for the way the site functions..

4. Why are these lines here? Where is content for this section found?
This is where technically you can have some verbage or other relevant stuff to say. If you push "edit" on this page you can add stuff. It will go between the lines. I'd like to put some default stuff in there if user doesn't add anything. Or just lose the lines if content is empty.
Ah ok, gotcha. I like it, was hoping I could put some stuff in there.
Cidepix didn't like idea number 1, and I'm thinking maybe he has a point - titles may not be unique, so a number AND the title could be beneficial (is that what you were thinking Cidepix? Or you just think its a stupid idea anyway?)

I wonder if we should have a list of live sites so that they do not currently link to those that are still being worked on.? I think I am at least a couple of weeks away as want to have a good number of images up plus get the faster search Leo is talking about as they can be a bit slow at times, more so if it cannot find images from network members than when it can I think
afaik all the sites on the network page are live

I am not yet live for purchases although my network links are . Probably another couple of weeks I think

PLaying around with registration and paypal now, seems to work pretty well. Just a few things, but important ones, especially number 2 & 3...
1. bug - in the registration email the new user gets sent, it has a link called "Login Page" - but it actually takes you to the EULA page instead (i.e. WRONG LINK). It also has another link underneath it called "Licensing and Downloads", which does take you to the Account page. Perhaps just one link that takes you to the login section would be best, since you have to login to get to the Account page anyway?
2 - I had some friends purchase some stuff as a test, and they have never used a stock site before. They were confused by the image description page not having an obvious "Add to Cart" or "Checkout" button. They highly suggested this, as have a few others so far. Think this needs to happen ASAP.
3 - Similar to above, same friends confused by the Customer License and FM Area page. The "Get Licenses" button text needs to be changed to "Checkout", or similar. Think this needs to happen ASAP.
-
I'm working on some revisions tonight. I'll get those done no prob.
The big question (its important)
What are we replacing "get licenses" with?
-
My suggestion would be "Checkout", or "Complete Checkout" or "Pay Now" - anything along those lines.
Basically it has to make perfect sense for Joe Bloggs who has never used a stock site before and has no idea what a license is.
-
Also, if you have an empty cart and click "get licenses" at the moment, you get taken to a kinda ugly Paypal error page.
Could the button just be inactive instead, until there is something in the cart?
-
My suggestion would be "Checkout", or "Complete Checkout" or "Pay Now" - anything along those lines.
Basically it has to make perfect sense for Joe Bloggs who has never used a stock site before and has no idea what a license is.
yep - any of those would be fine
-
I put pay now. All set.
Its worth mentioning tonight I'm doing some revisions while bug hunting - the default theme has to be more invisible allowing people to do their own modifications. Also I'm going to improve the front page so its not like "hey go shopping on my blog". Microstock man helped me a regarding priorities on visuals.
-
Hey leo, in your next update, could you consider NOT forcing the categories to be built upon install? With each update I have to muck around again with categories, deleting ones etc.
As suggested, perhaps adding the default categories could be a tick box option in the admin after install?
Not sure how much work that is...
-
Its a fair amount of work, so I'll add that in. It could be considered a bug I guess...because its bugs you. :)
-
Ha, true, sorry, not really a bug. More of a PLEASE!
-
Hi Leo, just a couple of little things that might be nice sometime.
1. On a decently wide screen thumbnails show 6 abreast, so paging in 20s isn't all that neat. The number is hard-coded in functions.php, and although I've changed it to 24, it will have to be redone every update, as there's no easy override I can see in the child theme.
2. Likewise, the hover text for the Category tag cloud is 'xx topics'. That's hard-coded in the core , in category-template.php; anybody got any idea on changing it to 'xx images' without editing core files (which I have done for now) ?
-
Thanks for mentioning these things. I'll try to change those now.
-

This would involve using filters (something wordpress gives you to change output from core functionality) - changing it in WP core file should not be necessary. Looking into it right now.
-
If you guys can keep hacking like you are, maybe you'll end up helping me develop this thing after all! In the meantime, if you want to change "topics" to "images" simply paste this into your functions file. I have it there for next revision-release so don't worry about adding it again.
//this changes the "topics" word to "images" in taxonomy cloud
function symbiostock_category_text( $count )
{
return sprintf( _n( '%s topic', '%s Images', $count ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );
}
add_filter( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', 'symbiostock_widget_tag_cloud_args' );
function symbiostock_widget_tag_cloud_args( $args )
{
if ( $args[ 'taxonomy' ] == 'image-type' || $args[ 'taxonomy' ] == 'image-tags') {
$args[ 'topic_count_text_callback' ] = symbiostock_category_text;
}
return $args;
}
This is not necessary for everyone else to do, its just there if your feeling like you want to do it now instead of waiting.
-
The only way that *might* be happening right now (and its technichally a bug) is that somewhere the slug for the keyword might have been changed. If you go into your keywords area in the admin, you might have a keyword "nature" that has a slug "nature-2". let me know if thats the case and I'll add it. It should have been fixed, but there is probably still ways to cause it to happen.
Hi Leo, I'm getting search errors.
Berlin keyword (and a couple of others) not getting picked up in the search.
Berlin slug is 'berlin'?
My site is running on the Child Theme, latest version of Symbiostock.
http://www.travelwitness.net/image/franzosischer-dom-gendarmenmarkt-berlin-germany-5/ (http://www.travelwitness.net/image/franzosischer-dom-gendarmenmarkt-berlin-germany-5/)
http://www.travelwitness.net (http://www.travelwitness.net)
Theme is really good by the way, very impressed with what you've done with it.
One other bug I've found is switching off comments on the Child Theme doesn't remove them from the images posts, activate the main theme and it works, switch back and they're there again!

Today I'm working on a nice homepage template. It will have "featured images" so you will have a better alternative than hardwiring a category page like that.
-
As a follow on from the "how do you do it thread" I am unable to change image sizes, I change them, click in "update all existing images" and click save and nothing happens - I have just made them live so I can check if that makes a differences but live or
dead not live it makes no difference

That particular feature won't update...its dependent on upload. But we can over-ride that eventually. It just so happens the sizes are stored in a pretty complicated array I don't want to mess with right now, because if I mess that up there will be problems :P
-
I managed to change prices for all images in database table, but I gave up, when saw that array full of dpi and inches :)
-
Yep. A little info for you, I chose that route to avoid having to create unique tables for the theme. Wordpress requests you avoid making tables unless its cannot be avoided. Same with direct queries. This theme plays very very nicely with wordpress.
-
Has anyone noticed any significant plugin clashes? Like you install a plugin...and something stops working on the Symbiostock theme? Has anyone tried that ratings plugin? (its actually good for SEO) but last I knew it breaks javascript.
Let me know if there are any plugin clashes of any sort, so I can figure out if its a problem on my end.

Hi Leo,
I've got a serious search bug.
Berlin keyword not getting picked up in the search.
This file has Berlin in the keywords, but doesn't show when you type berlin into the search?
You can test it out on this file...

Theme is running as a 'Child'.
Yeah, its a sort of, but actually more of a wordpress quirk.
If you go into your keywords and search "berlin" I'm almost certain when you find it, it will have a slug that says 'berlin-2'.
Change that back to 'berlin'.
If it keeps turning into 'berlin-2' then go back to your categories and see if you have one ALSO called berlin.
Problem: Wordpress has a funky rule that says different taxonomies cannot share the same slug. Its silly. I've been trying to program around it, but there's still a few more places I have to intercept it.
-
Clarification: In your admin area, look at "image keywords" and search for berlin there.
-
One question: How long ago did you initially install your theme? The very first release of it? Next to first release? Then the bug would be left over. But I've fixed most aspects of it then. So if you've installed it recently...bigger problem.

I have no 'berlin' category anywhere in the Theme.

Theme version 1.2.4
If you click on 'gendarmenmarkt' in that file it will search for 'gendarmenmarkt' OK, but not 'berlin'?

Wow I think you've found a bug.
Can you set me up as an admin on your site? [email protected], have it email me random password.
BTW my wife loved your site. She's a traveler :D
-
LOL you found an xml bug! You put a happy face...and my xml processor doesn't like it. Soon I'm going to get it to ignore ALL unknown entities.
For now the unknown entity *may* be that you put a smiley face in your description. Can you remove it?
-
It might also be a german character too. Someone else had this problem...with german characters.
you may be wondering why the XML stuff?
The XML results are what drive network searches, even local searches. Allows pagination to work among sites...
XML is generally not as easy to work with as HTML (related language) and I have to deal with the "entities" bug which is what happens when people put characters from other languages or types into their content.
-
I've set you up as an Admin, should be in your email.
Images were key worded in Lightroom 4, if that helps?
-
Frank242 had this problem. GERMANY images :D
The characters "äÄöÖüÜß" were crashing his site. Did you use those? I suppose you would know, because you can't accidentally type them.
A quick fix for you would be to delete the keywords/description that contains them. But the TRUE fix is that I have to deal with this bug to allow freedom of content.
-
I can't find any smiley faces or weird characters in the descriptions or keywords.
Files are coming out of Lightroom though, I wonder if its an XMP problem?
-
This may be nothing, but the file not found screen (no results to the search) has a very small smiley on it. Is that the issue?
steve

I programed the bugs to have a happy disposition to keep the spirit positive.

Actually he has an à floating around there somewhere. I have to for once and for all solve this special characters bug

Even if I deleted any forwarding/redirection or any iframe code, the processing bug still persists.

Don't know if this has been reported yet.
I have a person in my network with a lot of horse pics, several pages worth. They are at the bottom of my 5 network people. So it displays pages so I click to see all their photos, but it's dropping the page selector down into my footer. I am going to attempt to post a screenshot.

Hello Leo
Thanks for the new update:) I ve been playing around with the widgets last images and featured.
Last images display correctly but the featured does not show out although they show up in symbiotic
featured pictures
I use for homepage the homepage simple template
it is live now on www.aseanphotostock.com (http://www.aseanphotostock.com)
Cheers

Great job Leo.
I've updated the theme and added the latest and featured images. Featured images doesn't work for me either. I added the category "Symbiostock Featured Image" to 6 photos, but they don't appear.
Steve
-
I added the Featured images as well with no results. It won't let me edit the slug (it adds and extra "-image" to the slug) and it says the slug is already in use.
-
I have featured and latest images. Tried very hard to make both of them full with along with the text but could not manage it. Used Home Page CTAs (what are cta's?) template.
I only found the templates yesterday, kept wondering what everyone was going on about as I was hunting for them in the child theme edit area :)
-
I worked out the problem with my featured images - it was mentioned above, but the solution that worked for me, was to go to the RF Images: Image Categories in the admin page. Then find the Symbiostock Featured Image category - mine had the slug as symbiostock-featured-images-images. I edited that by removing the final "-images". This worked OK for me, so now my slug is "symbiostock-featured-images" and the home page works as expected.

I tried that but it keeps saying its already in use elsewhere. I checked my keys but no luck there either. I'll keep looking...
-
Just to confirm latest images is working for everyone? If slug says featured images images then delete both images words and submit symbiostock featured....it will append images. Ill make it si category uses it and not slug

I followed Steve fix and it works for me now

Featured images works great for me. :) Latest images won't show. I didn't process images for a while, which could be the reason. I wonder what "latest" means, anyway. It would be nice if the "latest" date range could be customized rather than being hard coded.
I don't know if this has been reported before:
When I resize my firefox browser window to a width smaller than app. 800px our menus completely disappear. Hope that isn't a feature ;D

I sort of like Comic Sans. Guess it just proves that I am suffering from dyslexia ;D
Anyway, it is far from being a love affair. So I'll definitely try finding a less hated type face. Any suggestions on what is hip today?

If you want to update and reinstall (not crucial if you have your Featured Images) working, here you go:
https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock.zip?raw=true
This small update merely makes the featured images less dependent on user input....so you can change the slug and its fine. If you delete the Featured Images category it will also tell you it must be re-activated. Quite user friendly now.

BTW - I love your site, but your lightened text at the bottom might be a little too light.

BTW - I love your site, but your lightened text at the bottom might be a little too light. Stylewise its great, but there's a certain amount of contrast is needed for viewers who have eye problems...but then its unlikely many eye-problem-viewers would be image shopping... n-e-ways just a best-practice observation.
Thanks, but point taken. Fixed!

Leo, I don't know if you forgot about it or it has just got a lower priority level but I will make sure it is not forgotten just in case..
- you know when you click on the little magnifier icon, a pop-up window opens with larger image preview.. the sizes that appear to be available there are not really the sizes I made available.. for instance: I have Vector enabled but it doesn't appear, and I have blogee disabled, but it appears there as if it was available..
- also, not a bug, but I would prefer the images not to be clickable.. I see no point for the image to have a link to itself.. I'd prefer if there is a consensus about it, but if not, it would be great to have the ability to set image links to "none".. in usual WP posts I can, but on symbiostock image edit section, I can't..

Clickable images - possible SEO value. Please set up a vote or something. I have no problem changing it. What I can do is disable the link in javascript. Nice compromise? Link = importance.

if it's crucial for SEO, let's keep it.. my current site has no image links and a lot of images appear on google images.. If you say it is important, then there is no need for a poll.. I am not informed enough to comment about it's SEO value..
-
also it would be great if "priority levels poll" was reset..
download expiration has already got 6 votes and I know a few more people, including me would have voted for it, if it was there from day one..
I am pretty sure it would get nearly as many votes as extended licenses.. :)
-
Regardless of how informed people are, even the BEST SEO is still a mountain of speculation. Let me look into it. The symbiostock tool's main strengths are aimed in networking and SEO, so let me keep looking into that. By tuesday I should have a lot of these issues addressed.
Keep reporting them! I need that list up there!

btw Leo,
I want to add a favicon but wanted to ask your opinion.. what's the best way?
- should I add it with a code placed into header or,
- use a plugin?
or would it be easy for you to have an option in the settings that people can link to a favicon image they uploaded? (just like the logo image)
-
Plugin for now. It will happen eventually :D

Just upload a 16x16 icon file called favicon.ico to the site root, replacing the one alredy there. The code to load it is already in the WP core.
ETA: Whoops! No it isn't! I must be seeing a cached one...

was just about to say that, but you realized fast enough :) I will get a favicon one way or another..
what I did before was add a code into the header.php and place favicon.ico into the root.. just wanted to explore other options..

Which I've just done... It's something I've always done at the start when hacking themes, and the header.php doesn't change much on the standard base themes, so it just gets left.

That is strange. It should eventually though. If not I'll look into it. Some of these things wordpress only updates occasionally.
I'll be out for weekend. Monday I'm going to attempt to blaze through these bugs. I wish I could have someone update the original post with bugs like you've mentioned. When those are gone that means things will be working very smoothly. Most of them are easy and ten minute fixes. Rest of week mon-fri I have entire days dedicated to this project.

Yesterday everything was ok, and today I tried test search with Fatal Error.

I don't know if it's just me but, featured / latest images only work on "HOME Page Simple" template..
if it's working for most, how do you guys get latest images show up on other home page templates? (I tried all widget areas)
-
I have the featured one working on Home Page CTA. I put the widget into "Home page below content" container
Steve
-
we can no longer "turn off" comments.. in previous versions I turned the comments off on WP discussion settings and it was done..
now, no matter if I globally turn the comments off, comment box still appears under my images..
-

I haven't changed the container, it was already there.. I just switched back to Home Page CTA and it worked..

I have got almost 100 comments in the last 2 days and they are comiing still more.
Those are on different pages, but mostly photo and have nothing to do with my site.
For exemple the last one says
"Submitted on 2013/04/13 at 11:05 am
Very great post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I
have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts.
In any case I’ll be subscribing on your feed and I’m hoping you write once more very
soon!

They altogether seems to be related to the same blog and for a reason end to my site www.stockabily.com (http://www.stockabily.com)
Are some of you experiencing the same? What to do to avoid this?

tried it again, but I can confirm that comments won't get turned off even though I DISABLED the following section:
- Allow people to post comments on new articles
in discussion settings..
-
Jean, your front page has a comment box which will probably draw a lot of comments in. Turn off/disable comments in all your "PAGES" as well as everything else you can find. In Settings, Discussion I select that everthing must be modified before it appears, if an email address is being used regularly I stick in in the bottom box of that page
-

discovered something very interesting..
when I "process to drafts" first and then edit and publish the images manually, the comments obey the global settings and come out as "off"
but;
when I "process to publish", the comments box can not be turned off, no matter what I do..
-
I was just about to comment that there are no comment boxes on my site on the latest release - but i always go through the Publish to drafts step.

yeap I knew there was something like that since not many people complained about it.. I turned the box "off" by choosing -user must be logged in to comment
so when user is NOT logged in, they see: "Leave a comment" link
and when logged in, they see the "comment box"
but definitely can not be turned off completely, if you published the images right away..
-
I always go though publish to drafts - none of my images have descriptions so have to add them and do seo as well - somewhat time consuming but means I look at each image and many of my earlier ones I have deleted and others have re-processed as I know I can do better now than I could a few years ago - or even last year with what I have learned over the winter

Thank you Tinny, I have now changed things in the setting + the front page; I can still see the comment option there ... I must be doing something wrong still....

I was just checking Google webmaster tools - saw I had a URL error on my site. This URL could not be found:
http://www.backyardstockphotos.com/search-images/landmark/simplexmlelement.--construct (http://www.backyardstockphotos.com/search-images/landmark/simplexmlelement.--construct)
Any idea which part of the site should be looking for that one? I do have 25 images with the keyword "landmark", and the search function on the site finds them OK.

I have the same issue, can't turn off the comments. Maybe a good idea for the theme to disable to comments on the - image page - irrespective of settings on the WP-dashboard, the theme should look as much like a Stock site as possible.

No, it's just standard spambot droppings. The spam is only the URL in the website field , so things like Akismet don't always pick it up.

When the image installs and page is generated, comments are hardwired as on. However you can turn them off. I'll make a way to alter with next version, monday or tuesday.
For anyone who is concerned - comments are good for SEO in that it adds to the page. Especially if you get some picture that for some strange reason goes viral---your gonna want that cowbell. ...people able to comment.
But the comments are ugly right now. You want them styled? Or you just don't like comments? Let me know.
Over-all though I'll give more control over that.

To my issue in #146 above:
It was something with dns configuration on my new server. It had problem with resolving some domains hosted on bluehost, and curl_exec returned nothing with error ""Couldn't resolve host".
They changed dns server and now it is ok., but Symbio code needs some kind of reaction for such issues :)

One issue discovered today: image processing should be case insensitive, or convert "JPG" to "jpg" in filenames at first :)
Now "JPG" file processing ends with some errors. I had to change extension to "jpg" in ftp folder.

this is a bug I noticed and reported before, but it is still there so it's worth reminding..
after the purchase, when customer is redirected back to the site, (medium size image) the item still appears in the cart instead of the download area below..
this really might be confusing to some customers.. they may think the payment has not gone through, thus the image is still in the cart..
it is not good having to refresh the page to see the image in the download area below..
-
Sorry if was related before:
Item "error_log" from Symbiostock settings.
The content of this tab seems wrong. Please see image below.

I'm working on the bug where network result pagination hangs over footer. However I don't seem to have that reported problem:
http://www.clipartillustrations.com/search-images/background/ (http://www.clipartillustrations.com/search-images/background/)
Whoever is tuned in - please do a network search where your buddies have paginated results, and see if the pagination is hanging over the footer.
-
Chico - Cartoonpeopleshop.com does not currently exist - goes straight to bluehost page
-
Leo - it did on mine until I did the last update with the latest/featured images (not the mini update, I did not upload that).
Whenever I did a search on "dog" you are at the bottom of my network and always hung down into the footer.
-
Chico - Cartoonpeopleshop.com does not currently exist - goes straight to bluehost page
My bad! I've moved my site to a new host with a new domain so I uninstalled there! I will see about getting my URL updated on the official list sorry!

Comments options for image pages are set. They can now be turned open or closed by default. The initial value is "open" (rather, allowed)

great news!
all those other improvements too!

One big oversight on the e-commerce network is that if you leave to go another members site with items in your cart, you cannot purchase them on the other members site. This should be made crystal clear.
If the shopping cart has items in it there should be a - shopping cart warning - before a buyer disappears across the network, so they are prompted to complete their purchase.

Not an oversight - more of a delayed development. I knew this would be a puzzle when I first set up the idea.
After image search is improved, we're going to be going crazy on the network - lots of fun stuff.
The cart issue will have a nice fix - I plan on making a special network toolbar for customers which logs the sites you've visited as well as carts. I'm just working out some privacy puzzles but should not be a problem.
I'm greatly looking forward to addressing the network and improving it:D In fact, when we are done I rather hope its the first of its kind - regardless of stock photo business.
-
You talking about a centralised shopping cart?
So customers can complete purchase once and download all the multi site photo's from their cart?
-
No - definitely not.
When they purchase something, they see on their network bar that there are still unpurchased items on other sites.
I am religiously sticking to independent sales without any complicated funny business. For instance, an easy way out would be to track carts on the central website, but I'm going for a genuine "hivemind" sort of thing without any reliance on a central site...sort of like how fire ants can work as a super-organism but still have their individuality.
It protects the arrangement so nobody (even after I sell this business) can start trying to get in on people's sales, start charging for stupid stuff, and making people overly dependent (again).
-
BTW - if anyone is new and is looking to be notified of the new releases (next one probably tonight or tomorrow) please subscribe to the update blog on www.symbiostock.com (http://www.symbiostock.com) - right sidebar front page.
-
Maybe as a temporary thing, have the networked results open in a new window when clicked? That way the customer stays on your own site and has the option of continuing to shop there.
-
Just a prompt if there are items in the cart should do it.
Clarifying search results would help, something like...
Results from "site name"
Results from the "network" - You have ? items in your cart, complete purchases and download before searching the network.

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.
-
"All I see is the heading at the top process images, and the rest of the page is white"
I have similar problem some time ago. It was watermark related. I upload watermark again and works fine. Now i put my watermark file in a distinct folder not affected by SY updates.
-
Leo, in the footer copyright section, is it possible to have a box where we can enter a date like in the example below.. (this will be different for everyone, since it may be the year the website was registered or the year the company was founded)
Copyright © 2005 - 2013 BusinessName
-
Can we put that slightly on the backburner/to-do list? But I can see how that would be a need.

I will reupload my watermark file. I have been fussing with that tonight.
-
sure.. not that urgent..
the reason I want it is because I think it gives the business a sense of credibility.. I will be using the script on an old domain, so it feels right..
I can actually edit it on the parent theme easily, even though I didn't figure out how to do it in the child theme.. But, I thought it is better if it's eventually implemented universally..

Thank you Chico you were right on! I have been messing with my watermark tonight. I deleted the old version and uploaded the new version, but neglected to put the file name in the Settings. It was looking for the old file. I am tired...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! :D

I just did a test registration at my site to make sure all was well.
I noticed that the email sent with the password has "Thank you for your purchase at Backyard Stock Photos" - when they haven't bought anything, they are just registering.
Also, the login link in the email body still points back to the end user license page, not the home page.
I know these were raised as bugs before - did they get picked up?
Steve
-
Who is tuned in?
I'm addressing the paypal - cart-empty issue.
It might not be a bug. The user might be landing on the page before paypal notifies of the sale... so I'm going to make some adjustments, one of which is to alert the user they may have to refresh the page.

I just fixed the link one. Let me see about the title.
-
Not so much a bug as a request. Once we have a lot of images uploaded, searching for one particular image in the admin site becomes very difficult. There is an image search in the All Images page in Admin, but searching simply brings up the images in the live site. I wanted to see them in the edit page so that I could make a change to one of the images.
Steve
-
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)

looks great leo..
does that always come up regardless the delay, or just in case of a delay?
-
It will always come up on returning from paypal. I don't think the customer will mind if it doesn't apply to them. Much better than leaving them in confusion.
-

it's looking cool anyway.. the only thing I don't like is that the email address is exposed.. it's better leaving it at "notify us" I believe.. I prefer not to publish the email.. there is the contact page if they need..
-
Actually I was hoping to make it hard-coded to "contact cidepix" with your personal email regardless of site ;D
I'll change it back if anyone feels the same way.

not only for me, but a published email address is an invitation to spammers.. I have had a lot of spam before I switched to wordpress and have my proper contact form :)

Agree, it looks cool, and agree again, a link to contact page would be better.
-
Yeah I always consider that. A spammer would have to
A: Make an account on your site
B: Make a purchase.
So your email address is hidden below two levels of access. So what ends up happening is before your customer 'gets pissed' they immediately have someone to talk to without having to use their brain.
I dunno, I think it works. Anyone else?
-
Agree, it looks cool, and agree again, a link to contact page would be better.
A direct link to the contact page would be good, but its not fetch-able like like the EULA page is (it could differ among everyone what kind of contact page is being used, and where)
So we can either put "contact us" and leave it to customer to navigate to contact page or do the email.
-
totally understand your point leo..
but I believe the words "contact us" is sufficient even without a link.. customers can easily navigate to contact page..
plus, it's easier to use the contact page, than copy/paste the email imo..
-
Sounds good then, we'll have "contact us".
-
I think that's perfect..
I never expected it to be like EULA since it may be located on different url's for everyone..
-
What happens is the EULA page, Customer Page, etc, are generated on install if they do not already exist (ie, already installed). An entry is added to the database saying which post id is the EULA page, and so forth.
Contact page is like any other page created by the user. The Symbiostock theme has no idea what the purpose of the page is that the user creates, hence there's no way to fetch the contact page. Unless of course I made it generate at install, but that's excessive.
-

that's not necessary Leo.. not worth spending your time on it..
it is great without any links..

Not so much a bug as a request. Once we have a lot of images uploaded, searching for one particular image in the admin site becomes very difficult. There is an image search in the All Images page in Admin, but searching simply brings up the images in the live site. I wanted to see them in the edit page so that I could make a change to one of the images.
Steve
When you're in the image page there is an EDIT link on the right side under the licensing area that will take you right to that image's edit page. It's a few extra clicks to search (from either the front page or the admin area) then find the pic, go to the image page then edit, but it's easier than scrolling though all the pages.
Also, if your individual picture rows are spaced far apart in the admin area go to the top Screen Options tab and turn off all the pricing by unchecking them or any other fields you don't want. That will make the columns for keywords, description, etc. wider and your rows will be closer together making it easier to scroll through pages.
-
Looks good Leo.
Just a Q related to this - After paying with Paypal, what return URL should we be putting in the PAypal settings?
-
You don't have to do anything. The return URL is sent when you checkout, and paypal send you back based on that.
-
Brilliant, thanks Leo.
-
Yes, "contact us" without link is much better than e-mail. Hopefully, it'll work without flaws and no buyer will ever need to contact anyone to resolve cart issues, anyway. :)

New version, lots of bug fixes - 1.3.0

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! :)
-
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/ (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!
-
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.
-
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"! ;D
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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)
([url]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8255/8654121192_6f26ef08d9_b.jpg[/url])
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 :-)
-
I apologize if this has already come up.
I'm getting errors when doing an image search, seems to be related to the network:
-
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.

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? :)

Leo, it is not that crucial but would it be easy to implement an option where we can turn off links on images? with wordpress posts, this can just be set to "none" once and it stays that way..
also, I mentioned this above but you may have missed it.. have you not included the checkout page solution into this version? the one where images still appear in the cart after redirection.. but that might be an internet explorer thing as well as it didn't happen in chrome transactions..

(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/2146/404missingpage.jpg)
Leo, I think 404 missing page should be modified to include image related recommendations instead of blog related links it has at the moment..
those archives, tags or categories will never be used so it is better to have relevant links like featured images, latest images, or image categories and tags.. (or an obvious link sending buyers to the homepage could be good as well..)
I am getting quite a few visitors already as I installed symbiostock to an old domain. the problem I have is after removing the previous install completely, all my visitors see is this page, and it should have better links to prevent those visitors from leaving the site..
not everyone installs symbiostock on fresh domains so it would be good to address this for the future as well..

Ok, I am BACK today. I'm almost awake enough to carry out some lucid coding here.
You guys do know I purposely write in these bugs just to keep you active here right? Its called obsolescence I think.
All jokes aside, it appears there are some minor glitches left...but I get the impression some people might be getting a little OCD on a few things. Not that I'm one to talk...I live it :D.
Today I'll be doing two things; Addressing bugs and laying the foundation for ONE HECK of a search function. And getting plenty of help on wordpress.org on this one - keep it problem free. Its going to involve a direct query to the database, which in the land of wordpress simply means DO NOT mess around.
Anyway, thats the update for today. Someone run to starbucks for me.
-
Cappuccino OK :-)
Just one more request as I know you hate sleeping.
Can the search results have a 'view option drop down' for the customer - 25, 50 or 100 images or something similar?
So the results can fill out depending on their screen/device size.
-
Hey Leo! I broke it :o I've been having weird issues processing only some images, I get the following error above the table on the uploads page:

I can't figure out why some are processing perfectly and others are throwing this, it's all vectors almost certainly not a size issue since this error come up on some much smaller files (under 2mb) than ones that are successful, and I'm using the latest version posted today with a clean child theme no edits. On InMotion hosting. If any of that helps. Also it seems to be hanging around, I am uploading other images that are successfully processing but the one that is throwing errors keeps popping up on the upload and processing screens.
-
You got me at the right time!
Two gotches I've seen: Yesterday I uploaded a file called robot_running.jpg.jpg and it tripped due to wrong file names. Another one is the uppercase .JPG ... still working around that one.
I'd think its your filename if nothing else. Can you post it?
-
My file name? It's super original...this one is "business woman" but the really weird thing is when I upload it from another backup folder (same image but larger, same filename, it works?!) There has to be something I'm missing...still checking. This is a dumb question but how do I tell if the the extension is upper or lowercase?
-
You might have extensions turned off on your computer.
But my-file.jpg is a lowercase extension, myfile.JPG is uppercase.
I'm fixing it though...just curious if that was the case? Probably not.
-
Who is tuned in?
I'm working on Cidepix's and microstockman's request to disable the link on the image. While I'm at it, I could also disable right-click-saving.
Problem: Lots of legit people might have reasons for saving your image.
Need opinions.
Discuss.
-
I'm OK with people right clicking - they may want to show to a colleague I guess in some sort of mockup. They can always do a screen copy whatever we do. So no need to do that for me.
Steve
-
Make them as options :)
And all images will be on top in google search, left- and right-clickable, so what for blocking them on site? :)
-
No problem with right click being available, it's only 600px with our name plastered across it - it's advertising if somebody uses it.
I don't see any real point to having a link from the image when it's only to the same size.
-
I'm okay with disabling the link if not going to hurt SEO, I think disabling right click annoys more people than it's worth. As a designer I have and do use comp images to show clients before purchase. I'd add it might be a good thing to not completely disable as I've seen a few plugins for word press stores that handle image zoom and use the linked image...just rambling here but eventually I'd love to see a zoom plug in here :)
-
Thanks all set then. Link disabled...everything else works.

I really think that is excessive.. you can have a good watermark and not worry about it at all..
the kind of watermark I am using is nearly impossible to remove.. thieves would rather pay than torture themselves.. :)
-
Agreed! Better to frustrate the thieves with watermarks than frustrate designers with no comp images imo.
-
Speaking of watermarks...any way to get control over transparency? I have tried to find a happy medium but on some of my lighter images, it just doesnt show and is really ugly on some darker ones.
-

everytime I process more than 3 images I get "the browser can't display the page" sort of errors on both chrome and IE9
I have no idea what's causing the problem.. because when I refresh the page, the images appear to have finished processing.. I even test purchased some of those files and they "not only process fine" but also download fine..
still, it's annoying that page crushes when processing.. could it be because I haven't increased some php.ini limits enough?
to be honest I highly doubt this is due to a php.ini issue because I processed 40-50 images at once on the same hosting with my cmsaccount store..
-
I am also having processing problems again. If I try to process more than 5 images, the uploader stalls. I cut back to doing 2-3 at a time, but I still get the error log message. The last batch I only uploaded two. Both uploaded ok and processed ok and are online, but every time this error log message is showing. Yesterday I uploaded 10-12 images at once without an issue. I am on blue host now.
I am going to download the new theme version and install and see if that helps.

Cidepix, when I work imagemagic into the script life will be easier in our beta test due to better memory use.
cclapper - you can chose option "delete all files" because its reading an error log.
After I take care of today's little suggestions I'll be back onto those things again.

Every time it comes up, i process the good images, then delete that one, but it comes back on every upload. I am not too concerned...I can still upload photos. But I should be able to upload more than 2-3 at a time.

Hey Leo, my issue earlier did turn out to be related to file extensions so scratch that! One thing to note though, my error images that were uppercase extensions aren't being deleted even though I've moved them to the trash, so they keep popping up in processing. Ghost images!
-
The only thing I did (that I can remember) is took an & sign off of something in that file... other than that if you can make me an account on your site I will need to look into whats happening.
Same with Cidepix -

Today I destroy uppercase lowercase problem once and for all! I also got microstock man's "gimme a button" request taken care of.

finally was able to update ...
the '&' problem is still there -- put it in the title and it's accepted, but if a search is done there's an error message
actual title is
Military – ancient & medieval knights collection

Hello Leo,
Great job on the last update, thanks:) After installation I did a normal search and just below the image search results of each of my network I got the following message,maybe a bug??

I think I am one of those OCD ones you mentioned earlier.... But still, thanks for the button ;)
cclapper - I had that problem a few themes ago, was deleting them individually but no luck. Then this worked...Process your images, you'll be left with a list of those errors. Use the Select all tick box to select all errors, then in the Bulk edit drop down, do Move to Trash and apply. This worked for me, whereas individually deleting them didn't. Don't know why.
-
Your going to like your button. Its so...blue...
Is this a continuance of the uppercase issue? If you can tell me that will bring me to the problem faster.
-
You mean what I said to cclapper? The errors were caused by the .JPG extension yes, but the problem was removing the errors from the process images log, they just kept showing up.
Can't wait to see this button. Even if it is blue...
-
After the latest theme I am now getting this bug on any network search

BTW - I am not networked with theruchos, but still get this error.
-
Yeah your right.
The problem is a very much dreaded XML bug I've been dealing with since day one. I help one person, fix bug...pops up another place.
I'm getting it too, which means I can work on it now. Just give it some time. Every time I exhale in relief that I fixed some bugs, put out the new release, the bug thread is swarmed with new issues.
Hopefully today I can get the deadly ones resolved (the ones that generate errors on website where customers can see)
-
FYI
As of this update the paypal return should show this:
http://www.clipartillustrations.com/customer-licence-and-file-management-area/?paypal_return_message=1 (http://www.clipartillustrations.com/customer-licence-and-file-management-area/?paypal_return_message=1)
(except stuff in the downloads as well)
Mind you must have a business account that you are selling from to have auto-return work.
-
Also you can now mass-edit comments from author-options in one-sweep
-
And here is your pretty blue button microstockman

I haven't tested the PP process yet but I just have a personal Premier account. What happens in that case. Does the buyer have to manually return to the site?

I'm pretty sure premier works too.

Oh yeah!! Wow thats blue ;) might have to child-css that one....if I can figure it out...
Thats awesome, thanks leo. I really do think a button is so much more logical for a buyer to follow.
Great job on those other fixes too.
-
about paypal.. premier or business.. it is almost the same thing..
-
oh, and I like the button.. but it could be bigger..
-
"Thank you for your purchase" could be bigger as well..
yesterday, it looked perfect to me.. (but these are not deadly issues.. I am just telling my opinion)

Hey, since when to cats eat spicy cheetos?
-
Shortly after witnessing the unbelievable site of my cat crunching on spicy cheetos (and actually getting excited over more) for some reason my brain repaired itself and I was able to finish the last of the big bugs. SO - here is the new update.
What you get:
1. Comments can be mass-allowed or mass-disallowed in the author area by choosing to update all images on the site.
2. Some improvements based on cidepix and microstockman. button under product table, no-link-click-image (though the link is still there)
3. Nasty bug under network results fixed (this happened after an SEO improvement I did...silly me. All better now with SEO kept.
4. Paypal return message should show.
5. Improvement on how featured images are arranged under main image.
https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock.zip?raw=true
From here on, before I address search, lets keep nailing bugs.
I started on search today, but I realize we really need to make this things stable before going further.
-
Spicy Cheetos make everything better! Installing the new version now thanks Leo :)
-
New version rocks, loving your work Leo. The cheetos have served you well. :)
-

I'm not joking. I watched my cat crunch on and enjoy about four spicy Cheetos. Is that normal?!
-
Haha depends on the cat. One of mine will eat ANYTHING. The other prefers grass and cat food straight up. You might want to make him do a couple of laps to work off the extra calories though :)
-
With the name 9lives I'll take your word for it. ;D

I expected that might happen. Better just to randomize them.

The new approach works great for me. I'd vote to stay as we currently are with the "similars"

No bug reports? Serious ones anyway? Very special day. Looks like I can quietly focus on minor things while Msg gets its forum back

Maybe not a bug, but what for is "profile" link under image? It leeds now to the same image page...

This is awesome. I'll approach some of the smaller things now, and enjoy a little quiet time building in better search query if there are no more monster bugs.
In the meantime people will enjoy working on their sites, uploading, and getting strong now.

looks pretty good so far.. apart from the remaining unfixed bugs from the OP...
plus + the image processing issue which makes browsers go blank :D

I'll keep that in mind. If we are talking about the same thing, this is an important attribution link that is recognized by search engines to attribute the work to you. The markup is special so it works that way.
-
I think this may be a bug.
If you search for a keyword tag that is not in your portfolio but a network member has this keyword tag - the host site produces zero results.
Example on my site search: Etretat
This tag is not in my port but 'Travelling Light' has it in his - I can't trawl out his pic from my site.
Quite crucial for finding more obscure long tail files.

we shouldn't remove the link.. you can just make it point to your about page and it will look nicer..
that link is very important imo..

I have reported that one about a week ago. Just got buried. I, too, think that one needs to be addressed.

Yes I mentioned it a while ago I think it will be good to see all search results

I don't have any sales yet. Does that count? :)
Seriously though, this is a great platform and I am suprised how quickly it's come together. I'm quieter now since I don't have much value to add, but I'm still checking the forums every day. Keep it up!!

as a future addition, perhaps if only a few results (or none) are found, the user can ask to continue a wider search across more symbio members

Well, I didn't get to try it out after all. Everything processed perfectly. I did have one hang, on the first file of five. Just went to another screen, reuploaded and then they all processed OK.
-
Probably the tiniest bug ever, just pertaining to themes...when trying to put in my own bg image in the child theme it wasn't working, I looked at the original styles.css in the parent theme and noticed the single quotes are missing around the url to the background image. One I put them in it was all fixed!
-
in process images it says:
NOTE: Images without IPTC data (at least title and keywords) are always saved as drafts.
I've got several more examples I can send where it's not reading iptc data that is there & allowing these images to be published
-
This one is not really a bug but a small request. Could we have an "update
latest oops - make that 'related' images" link in the pop-out menu for Symbiostock images panel? I keep forgetting that I have to manually update that and having the link in the menu would be a reminder.
hmmm - might be a bug in here now too. I added 5 images today, tried updating twice and got the e-mail telling me 80 images were processed but the new images from today are not showing. Same oops - I was mixing up related and latest images as to which needed the manual update, but I am seeing that my Latest Images are not updating to reflect newly added images. It still shows yesterday's additions.
-
when network search results are shown, and there are more than 5 images, might have a link "search more from this site" opening to new window. otherwise it's not clear there are more than 5 results (if you have the actual number of results that could be displayed too)
-
The only problem I'm having is with the watermark on vertical images extending too far on each side. It's slightly cut off on each side. No big deal. Everything else is running very smoothly. I must say Leo has done an outstanding job with this.

I sorted that out with a 590x590 watermark.. it is perfect now..

getting some odd errors thru google webmaster tools - not sure if it's a real problem
they report an error for
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/search-images/elephant/simplexmlelement.--construct (http://cascoly-images.com/pix/search-images/elephant/simplexmlelement.--construct)
which is called from
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/search-images/elephant/ (http://cascoly-images.com/pix/search-images/elephant/)
when I go to the latter page, all is well, except none of my network links have any elephant pictures [why they don't is another question entirely]
I can't find the first string anywhere on that page using view source -- it may be that the url is missing a '/'?

which is called from
http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/search-images/lunch/ (http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/search-images/lunch/)
what's odd here is that cathys page shows my site with 5 images & 8 additional pages (lunch happens to be a frequent activity when skiing!) and no errors
so it looks like the networking code is shooting out some odd links even though most of the pages are displaying alright
-
getting some odd errors thru google webmaster tools - not sure if it's a real problem
Its not. Those errors were produced earlier (and hence the spider followed some error codes as links) but since everything is running clean now those errors will disappear.
-
I still have these error when I do a network search is it coming from me?
Leo, by the way can we change the sizes of images now?

[size=78%]HI Cathy, when I register and log in to your site, it takes me to my profile in the backend dashboard, not to your front end of the website. Otherwise, it works fine. No worries, I can't access anything in the backend of your site, just my profile. [/size]

I just registered on your site to test it out and it seems fine to me, took me to what I would consider the customers account / backend area. I assume if I had purchased images from you previously I would see those downloads on this area.

Odd, I logged in again (4th time) and it went where it should. No longer to the backend but to my customer license area.

Thank you guys for checking, I appreciate it. I will do some more testing tonight, when I get home. This is freaking me out.

logging in depends on where you were when you logged out:
if you did a search, you jump to the frirst image when you log out; when you log in you'll go to the first image from that search
if you were viewing an image, you'll return to that page.
it's got something to do with cookies -- if i close the browser after logging out on an image page, when i open a new browser and login i go to the home page
if i go to my site directly, then jump back to the home page http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/ (http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/) it goes to the home page even if i was already logged in & on another page
after being on the home page, if i log out, it still shows the home page, but when i log back in it goes to
http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/customer-license-and-file-management-area/ (http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/customer-license-and-file-management-area/)

it's got something to do with cookies -- if i close the browser after logging out on an image page, when i open a new browser and login i go to the home page
if i go to my site directly, then jump back to the home page [url]http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/[/url] ([url]http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/[/url]) it goes to the home page even if i was already logged in & on another page
after being on the home page, if i log out, it still shows the home page, but when i log back in it goes to
[url]http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/customer-license-and-file-management-area/[/url] ([url]http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/customer-license-and-file-management-area/[/url])
So if I understand you correctly, Terry (farbled) was in the backend of his site. Then he logged in to my site, and it took him to that same page of my site, because that's where he was before he logged in? Maybe I am misunderstanding the use of the term "backend." I panicked and thought he meant that somehow he was in my admin (dashboard) area, though I would have no clue how that could happen unless there was a MAJOR bug. Which I can't imagine.
So farbled, can you please clarify where you meant you were when you said "backend?"

P.S. apologies to Leo. Unfortunately, newbs like myself don't know the difference between what is a bug and what is a "feature." :D

usually it's the programmer who can't/won't tell the difference!
in any case, that's just the sort of question we need because we want to make this easy to use without programming. from what I discovered, it probably wont be confusing to most users as they'll end up on a page that makes sense, but it was disorienting at first

Found an unusual bug/problem, perhaps with the image processor (i'm on bluehost, not sure if we are using imagick yet or not? I forget where we're up to with that).
See this image of mine: http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photography-black-linen-texture-background-image21870217 (http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photography-black-linen-texture-background-image21870217)
And then see it on Symbiostock: http://thpstockphotos.com/image/black-linen-texture/ (http://thpstockphotos.com/image/black-linen-texture/)
Sort of moire type thing going on, can't render the fine detail properly.
Leo? Any ideas?

Just checking in. I've been putting in much work into the new release, which will really bring everything together. I've been developing multiple things at once, and since you all have a reasonably stable beta to work with right now, this next release will most likely not have any real issues, since I'm not under pressure to release it.
Bugs or features... thats cute. Just keep helping eachother. Your keeping that off of me keeps things moving forward :D

Leo? Any ideas?
Yep! I know what it is. Its GD.
The good news - I'm redoing the image processing system. I've found a really good solution to use Wordpress's image classes to do most of the work, and to enhance it a bit to apply the watermark. I will also be putting in a "reprocessing" script or quite possibly just make it a plugin.
Solution for now: Any image processing issues just tolerate until next release. The next version is going to be quite depthy, and I finally have the time to "think" and do things systematically since everyone else has a manageable site right now.
This next release will probably be good enough that many issues will be permanently solved.

Being pretty new to the SymbioClub I was pretty overwhelmed at first - but it is all falling into place - little by little. I've tried to read all the threads and have watched all the videos but I haven't seen the two issues below.
First involves Categories and Drop Down menus.
I get how to do it and I think mine are working fine even have some sub-categories.
The issue is if I try to create a sub-category of a sub-category it doesn't show up in the drop down.
It's not that important but I thought it would work that way.
Second is Keywords.
This goes back to the 'old days' at SS when if you wanted phrases you needed to put them in Quotes - "like this"
I was uploading some old files that I had forgotten to remove quotes from in my IPTC. (I keyword in PS or Bridge)
Once they are uploaded I cannot remove the quotes.
I tried deleting the files and re-uploading the corrected version - but once I hit Publish the quotes return.
It seems the system is somehow remembering those keywords from the initial upload and defaulting to the version with quotes.
One of the images in question http://softlightstock.com/image/basilisk/ (http://softlightstock.com/image/basilisk/)
Anybody else seen this?

the child of a child seems to be working in the header categories -- eg
travel / Mongolia / Mongolia editorial
but then the list doesn't indent at all -- did it work ok before you add child-child ones?
I tried it on my categories, where I just had 1 level before
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image-categories/ (http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image-categories/)
now I have childchild and it seems to work fine in the list, though when selecting in edit, it came ar the very bottom of the list!
-
Yes that example works
What i was trying to get was
Travel / USA / Alaska / Alaska Editorial
What I ended up doing was
Travel / USA / Alaska Editorial
edit
Which works and I'm OK with it in the end it might be cleaner that way
Thanks

yes, it'll be easier on the user too if there aren't too many level to drill thru; what I've done before is pull the USA up to a parent category when the size of USA is near that of all the other travel subs combined

I haven't had the keywords/quotes issue. Sorry I can't help. The only thing I can think of is that when you save your images to draft, delete the quoted keywords on the right and re-add them back in, then publish. Maybe you've tried that already. That's all I got.
-
It seems the system is somehow remembering those keywords from the initial upload and defaulting to the version with quotes.
Yep, that's what happens. You may need to go in to the "Image Keywords" section. Its in the same drop down as the "all images". If you delete the keyword there that should get rid of it.

You beat me to posting this. I ran into the same thing with some words capitalized. I would correct them in the keywords and they reverted back to the original Caps. You don't have to delete the keyword entirely - there is an Edit option.
-
You guys have totally lost me. I don't even know what problem your experiencing. Isn't that just a horrible thing to think? How did we get this far I have no idea.
Anyway, if this is another IPTC problem (the way your stuff was keyworded, etc) this software I'm including in future downloads/implementing might take care of all your issues. Probably by the end of monday:

Didn't know about the Edit Keywords
Worked like a charm - crisis solved

I agree it might be too many levels

Not a bug Leo, just a "feature". When images are uploaded the keywords are grabbed and loaded into the Image Keywords admin area under the Symbiostock Image area. Once it's in there, if you try to correct the formatting in the individual image edit area (full or quick edit option) it will revert to the stored keyword. You can delete or add keywords and those will save, it just seems to effect trying to edit a keyword formatting, ie: lower or upper case or quotations.

Hi Leo,
After publishing some draft images I've got this message not seen on precedent 1.3.6 version :-\
"Invalid Date - must be YYYY-MM-DD format"
Any idea ?
Thanks
-
Thats no big deal. IPTC data requires a date formatted as the error shows. If its not formatted correctly, it shows an error. I'm not sure if it aborts writing IPTC though.

Leo the change in size work now thanks:-) however after a change sizing it is very difficult to change prices as it has to be done picture by picture, would it be possible to add the pricinf in the quick edit?
Cheers

Really? Can we adjust the sizes globally now in the admin section? So if we set a new size dimension in there it will reflect on all files? I hope so!
And yep, +1 for the global price adjustment too.

You mean changing prices is hard because it reprocesses all those pics? I"m going to make reprocessing a little more conditional so it doesn't change image size on every sort of save.
-
yes that's right:) I have images with different pricing that's why it is difficult..
Cheers!

Hi Leo,
Keyword not found at search result, for example I have image of Education, keyword included "education", but when I try to search "education", I get
"No results found for education".
When i mouse over the keyword "education" in this image http://plingstock.com/image/reading-concept-and-study-concept/ (http://plingstock.com/image/reading-concept-and-study-concept/)
i saw the link is linking to education-2 and not education, i wonder why.
I try this site also have the same problem with "education" keyword
http://www.cidepix.com/image/3d-orange-hard-cover-book-cartoon/ (http://www.cidepix.com/image/3d-orange-hard-cover-book-cartoon/)
Same thing happen to those keyword used as categories for example, business, concepts etc

I'm strugling with processing errors for my new site (in construction) http://www.energy-photos.com/ (http://www.energy-photos.com/)
I have the version V2.4.2 and I have read that this should solve the issue, but still it doesnt. Files are less than 10 M and I use blue host.
Anyone had the same problem and solved it?
Thank you in advance
Jean

Have you upped your memory settings?

Thank you Leo
I would love to understand what you tell me......
Ok I think I understand the overall meaning, but no I havent and have no idea how shall I proceed in practise.
