Symbiostock Beta Test - Bug Stomping Thread.

[Jeffrey]

Same error occured after processing an image even if I used iFrame to show a specific category on the homepage.

http://cheapvectors.com/

I found out what caused this error after processing images. Redirecting pages caused it.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'WideImage_InvalidImageSourceException' with message 'File 'http://domain.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...') #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...') #2 /home/cheapvec/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php(112): WideImage::load('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

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

I managed to change prices for all images in database table, but I gave up, when saw that array full of dpi and inches

[Leo Blanchette]

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.

[Leo Blanchette]

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...

http://www.travelwitness.net/image/franzosischer-dom-gendarmenmarkt-berlin-germany-5/

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.

[Leo Blanchette]

Clarification: In your admin area, look at "image keywords" and search for berlin there.

[Leo Blanchette]

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.
Image keyword slug = 'berlin'

Theme version 1.2.4

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

[Leo Blanchette]

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

[Leo Blanchette]

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?

[Leo Blanchette]

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.

[mattdixon]

I've set you up as an Admin, should be in your email.

Images were key worded in Lightroom 4, if that helps?

[Leo Blanchette]

Frank242 had this problem. GERMANY images

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.

[mattdixon]

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?

[steheap]

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?

[Leo Blanchette]

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

[Jeffrey]

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

I had to delete Wordpress.

This is probably my 10th installation of Wordpress.

Oh dear. I don't feel so bad now. I had to reinstall once because I hosed the first install up so badly. 

[cathyslife]

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.
