Worked for me this time. File size is slightly smaller, which is presumably because you are saving this as a JPEG with slightly different compression?

Just an FYI for future questions about quality, resizing, and general image processing issues - once I put imagick into the system (or my friend does) your bluehost hosting will take advantage of that. You will have optimal results.

Its always good to solve stuff. Can we detour real quick to the bug-stomping thread? If there are any annoying problems left (significant ones) let me try to crack those too...other than that we are probably ready to re-release this.

Every morning I wake up and say to myself "Maybe today there will be more fun threads and less problem / bug threads" and I haven't seen that happen yet. Maybe tomorrow will be that day!

Why wait til tomorrow? My site is up and running with no other bugs that I have found yet. The last updated theme solved my download issue and all seems a-ok now!

ohhh, new theme was released? Should I test it out?

I already installed a "new" theme this morning.

Do we have version numbers already  ?

BTW - a successful purchase should also trigger a "thank you" email with detailed purchase directly from your site. Your site's logo in it, , etc.

Can anyone fill me in how the Paypal checkout process is supposed to look like?

I just ran a purchase and this is what happened:

1. I created a new user (buyer) and logged in after I successfully received password via Email.
2. Picked a dirt cheap image and added it to my cart
3. Went to my cart and clicked the "Get Licenses" button
4. Was redirected to Paypal for payment
5. I logged into my family member's Paypal account and authorized the payment
6. After payment was confirmed, the browser redirected me back to the Customer Licence and File Management Area
7. I receive an email from Paypal confirming the fund have arrived in my Paypal account

THE END

- I did not receive an email to my buyer's account email
- In the Customer Licence and File Management Area, I cannot download the purchased image either.

 

Any ideas what went wrong?

My family member is located on another continent. Is it possible that some sort of fraud alert went off at Paypal?
Would this even effect Symbiostock?

 

try refreshing the customer license area while logged in with you buyer account..

if that doesn't sort it out, it is probably an issue about versions.. wait until Leo releases the latest one.. but I had a similar problem with one of the latest versions.. made the payment, returned to the site, image was not in the download area.. refreshed the page and it was there..

- I did not receive an email to my buyer's account email

 

the "thank you email" goes to the paypal account email that makes the purchase..

if you have a correspondence email set in your account.. I believe a copy should go there too..

Your tips didn't work but I will install the latest version now... See what happens
Thanks for posting!

Grab the download above in this thread.

Love your analogies - just cracks me up.

Will install latest version now.

Stay tuned for more boring posts from me....

Thanks Leo and everyone else for lending me a helping hand!

Awesome stuff!

Got the money, the emails and the download link!

Now I'm ready for bed!   

ok, finally got around to testing paypal

tried first using the test but that sent me to the paypal sandbox & I didn't want yto go thru thae paypal setup again

so, tried it live with a different user & paypal acct

all went okl:
entered paypal, accepted amt, paypal processed
paypal sent buyer an email, and seller a notice of payment, but the buyer notices were in my spam folder (not junk email) so I have to log on to the server to find them

--- but then:
*no further info - no thank you, no info on where/how to download

* the customer thank you email didn't appear - either within the paypal message or as a separate email
*also, it returned me to the Customer Licence and File Management Area (still would like to have a better desc for ordinary buyers)  and showed my shopping cart -- it still had the image I had bought,  with no indication it had been paid for - shouldn't this be zeroed out?



* can we find out why these go to spam?  otherwise we will be having a lot of customer service to do helping people find their info & downloads
* can we designate another return page
