Title: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Leo Blanchette on March 26, 2013, 14:02
4/4/13 - updated testing theme - please download v1.2.1

Please note: The best thing you can do for the project at this time is to tell others about Symbiostock, and grow your network.


See this important intro:
https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/README.md (https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/README.md)

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



Here is a child-theme for you. This allows you to change the appearance and functionality of your site independent of Symbiostock theme. - make it yours!

( https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock-child.zip?raw=true )



Post all of your error messages here, and any other issues. I'll attack the nastiest bugs first, and get to the others. In a few days I'll release an updated version of Symbiostock. Thanks all you testers. This is very helpful.

If you don't want to miss an update notice, get on the list - leo [at] symbiostock.com. Once the theme is healthy and well tested, I'll put it up wordpress.org for automatic updates.

This is the most crucial part of the release, so future downloaders (and you!) can enjoy smooth operation of the theme.

And another important note: The successful installs on a relatively unique theme has been pretty good. For something this new problems are the norm in the beginning. It doesn't necessarily set the stage for things to come like..."Yeah, Symbiostock sites...full of errors..." this is a natural part in the creation part. 75% of the issues will be fixed with next download.

Hammond: "When they opened Disneyland in 1956 nothing worked."
Ian: "Yeah, but John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates don't eat the tourists."

Errors/Bugs/And Other Fun Challenges List:

+--------------+
Image upload errors:

If the image uploader trips up (crashes) please send me the images you used. I am having a hard time generating errors on my end. Which means it might be a server thing. Make a dropbox account https://www.dropbox.com/ (https://www.dropbox.com/) and email me private access to the images you used that generated the errors.

POSSIBLY RESOLVED: Thanks to a few comments this problem seems to have worked itself out.  Chances are you need to change your memory settings. Thank you Tinny and cidepix for jogging my memory on this. In setting up a server that does image processing the first thing you need to do is amp these up. If you need help with this feel free to ask for details on how to do this.

+--------------+
Installer Errors:

Seems to be solved when you install in root. Soon I'll make it so you can install in lower levels. Edit: BIG PRIORITY - Seems everyone wants a lower level installation.
- Appears to be fixed now that non-root-installs are possible.
+--------------+
EULA Mis-link bug:

License Agreement Links is Funky/Wrong

Solved. Downloadable update available soon..

+--------------+
Search, Category, or Network 404-not-found:

your-site ... go to  /wp-admin/options-permalink.php

Is permalinks set to "post"? Should fix it.
Fixed. Was part of non-root problem.

- Hope to make more flexible soon.

+--------------+
Error message above header in paginated category/search results:

FIXED! 3-27-2013

+--------------+
Enabled Konami Cheat Code:
Symbiostock networking/admin area - push: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, ENTER
Unlocks an unlimited sales cheat.  ;D


+--------------+
Slashes before quotes (\') from where you input the text in options panels:

Whups!  :o Fixed it.

I don't have this problem with my installation, no matter if I select a category that has no or some pictures in it.

Panoramic images will get a funky looking watermark since the watermark won't resize. It just sits on the bottom of the image, regardless of being cut off.
Well that's what's happening in my case since I decided to create a square watermark utilizing the entire watermark area.

It might be some tedious work to program an automatic watermark resize for different aspect ratios or I just have to reduce my watermark size/aspect ratio.

Not really hard - right now the watermark just *splats* dead center. BTW - did you change your watermark ok or  are you using the S default one? I can make different watermarking options in the future.

I just tried to add my own End User License Agreement but I must be doing something wrong.

I added my text to the page that is installed by default.
http://xyz112233.com/end-user-license-agreement/ (http://xyz112233.com/end-user-license-agreement/) - saved and working if I access it directly.

Then in the Symbiostock settings at the bottom there is a field for:
See License Link:
I enter that URL into the field and try to save it but it won't save.

So whenever I look at an image and want to click on the End User License Agreement link, it just reloads the image page instead of directing me to the agreement page.

Am I missing something?

I created my own watermark in the maximum pixel dimensions that you posted in the settings section.

I guess I could just make it in a 4x2 aspect ration to avoid that problem for now but then it won't cover that much of an area for portrait oriented images...   :o

Once the images are being watermarked, there is no going back right?

I would have to re-upload them in order to apply a new watermark or even if you implement a script for watermark resizing?
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Leo Blanchette on March 26, 2013, 15:32
Yeah, most settings should be applied at beginning of site's creation. Watermark is a big one.

SYM install worked ok in a pix-now.com/sym  for wordpress install

the wordpress stuff works, but i cant save anything in settings - eg, click to activate, then save, but when  i come back it's reset.  same for setting credit/product page

===================

tried image upload - the images went up just fine, but on 'process images' got a 404  when it tried

http://www.buydigpix.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=image&page=symbiostock-process-images (http://www.buydigpix.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=image&page=symbiostock-process-images)

this might be part of the root install problem --

http://www.buydigpix.com/sym/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=image&page=symbiostock-process-images (http://www.buydigpix.com/sym/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=image&page=symbiostock-process-images)

gets me to the process images page correctly (so symbio doesnt seem to know about my subdir when creating links - or is it just calling wp-admin/..... and assuming the front part will be found?

on process images page get

Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /homepages/35/d235364144/htdocs/sym/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php on line 467

Thats a whole new set of errors! But your right-same problem. Yeah, basically anything not installed on root level (you know, a dedicated symbiostock site) will fail right now.

But since SOOO many people have the idea to sub-level installs of it, I'll work that in soon. Thankfully I've gotten some help on that, and appears to be a few small adjustments.

Search Issues?

I updated a keyword on one of my test images and it does not appear when searching for that updated keyword. Is there a way to re-index, or do we just need to get our keywords right the first time around?

The search function also does not appear to utilize the words in the image title.

As you are selling (licencing) them yourself you can sell anything you want - just mark them as such and include editorial in your EULA - see the examples posted by Jamie in the General Symbiostock section

Image Categories

I created a couple of sub-categories and placed some images in those categories. The sub-category shows in the category list as just another category, not under the parent category. The parent category shows there are images in that category, but they don't show when that category is selected.

The attached screen shot shows this. I have 4 images in "places/travel". 3 of those images are in the "United States" sub-category (places/travel is the parent). When I click the United States category, I see my 3 images. When I click on the places/travel category that shows 4 images, I see nothing.

Post by: Kerioak~Christine on March 27, 2013, 13:00
Did you put them in the parent category as well as the child category?

Edit:  I see what you mean, I have put Dog as a child category of Animals and in the list when editing it show up correctly, but when you put an image up and list it in both the categories do not show as sub-categories

Post by: daveh900 on March 27, 2013, 13:05

Not at first.

I just tried it. Adding the image to the parent category did change the count on the category list. It counts the image twice. 3 images put in both the parent and the sub category shows (6) images in the parent. However, I still don't see any of them when clicking on the link for the parent.

Wow - child categories! Your going all-out aren't you? You deserve a giant bug-hunter trophy - big golden magnifying glass and net. I'll get on it! Although I might disappoint you by setting it up for no child categories allowed! But I will fix this so the next test download fixes it.

I found a small bug I guess:

When I try to write some text into the "Customer Area Greeting" on the "settings page" of Symbiostock it won't save apostrophes properly.

The final result adds a \ in front of the '

So it's impossible to write "don't" -> it will look like "don\'t"

I tried to upload big ones (about 20Mpix) in Wordpress->Media->Add new, everything was ok. Maybe Symbiostock upload process is more memory consuming? PHP memory limit is 64M only...

The way to do that is to upload to your wordpress meda area, then copy the URL from there to the settings area fields.

Can you set up a dropbox account and send me the files? I'd like to try it on my own. BTW - I have my PHP memory limit set to 128, and higher on my server.

Doing a little research on the library I'm using  ( http://wideimage.sourceforge.net/ (http://wideimage.sourceforge.net/)  ) yes it is possible its a little memory in-efficient. If its an issue, I'll just swap out for something else that does a better job. Now is the time for such adjustments.

no it's a fresh install..

the thing is I am running 7 sites on a hosting plan.. only one of the sites is on the root directory.. the other 6 domains point to subdomains on the hosting account..

it is like

www. mymainsite.com points to >>>> /

www. othersite.com >>>>> /othersitefolder/
www. othersite2.com >>>>> /othersitefolder2/ (this is where symbiostock is installed)

they are not subdomains of the main site.. but the hosting plan only allows the main site to be in the root.. I had no problems with any other themes before.. I guess I won't be able to install it until the subdomain issue is sorted..
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Leo Blanchette on March 27, 2013, 18:16
Yup! Thats it - the subdomain issue. Its a few details in the way path variables are set up in the theme. Just a few minor tweaks. *however* might effect some other things, so I have to test it quite carefully before I release that particular update. Its my biggest priority in the bug-hunt though.

OK I don't know what just happened but after I did the installation of the new, updated Symbiostock the "End User License Agreement" bug was gone and I could finally access the agreement from the product page.

Now, after using the new installation for a while, it's not working anymore and just reloads the product page :O

Tested it in FF and IE, I cleared the cache and everything. How is that possible?

Have a good night!

This one has some more bug fixes from today, 9lives branding templates (thank you!), and an FTP path if you want to FTP your images (in uploads page)

Huh, so he actually does sleep after all. ;)

I'm going to start slowing it down again. Haven't "lived" much since i started this project. Gonna be slowing down a bit as this continues to improve and people start using it.

I had to stop for a while too. When uploading images they would load and then I get the warning sign saying it didn't upload properly. I tried various file names and file sizes with no luck. I had to take it down for now since I need my root site to redirect somewhere else for now. This is really cool and I hope you get the sub directory thing soon so I can play with it more.

One thing you can count on: If the site is not at root, it will not work. And no patch/workaround will make it work.

But another thing you can count on :D --- I'm changing it so it will soon.

Leo you responded to my issue with the license agreement thing and that you already uploaded a corrected version of Symbiostock.

I have an inquiry: Could you start using version numbers for your releases?

Even with these "few" bug reports I'm having trouble keeping up when you post a new release!

That would help others probably as well. Maybe others could chime in how they feel about that.

But thanks for continuously improving Symbiostock!

Since I had problems with only 64M memory for php on my server, and I could upload max 3Mpix images, I made some changes in code, so limit increased to about 8Mpix.

Editing Images
Sorting images does not "hold" so that if you have draft images "filtered" so you can find them easily you do one, then have to hunt though or re-sort which is not fast,
Later it might be useful to sort by day or week as well as month?

Hello guinea pigs!  ;D Thanks for posting all the updates, puzzles, gotchas, annoyances, and stuff like that for me to track. Your sacrifice is laying a nice foundation for future Symbiostockers. I'll keep addressing these things daily until there is nothing left to fix(reasonably).

Even with these "few" bug reports I'm having trouble keeping up when you post a new release!
That would help others probably as well. Maybe others could chime in how they feel about that.

Sure. I guess its a good time to start doing that.

The user license still won't work and it reloads the product page. I cleared my cache etc.  ???

The current one should work. Put your license page in trash, delete from trash. Deactivate/Activate Theme. If its not fixed, I will be amazed.

I knew this would happen to  someone. I actually saw it coming. Want an extended answer?

There are a few functions - file_get_contents(), fwrite() (maybe some others) that some hosts don't like because they can be abused. Very few hosts exclude use of them. Wordpress will now allow a theme to be submitted to their repository with them being used.

During the course of this, I might be able to find ways to replace them with alternatives. In the meantime though I'm pretty sure the theme can't live without them. Most wordpress themes revolve around branding and common functions. This theme is an image processing and selling theme which also networks. Needless to say there are some unique issues to be worked through.

I'll keep finding ways to work around those functions, but we might be stuck with them.

Could you (or Leo) elaborate how to increase that limit?

If you have access to php.ini, find this line: upload_max_filesize = and change it to something higher. Using FTP is also an option - you can see the folder in upload page now.
-----------

I won't be available much today, but my main focus is on two things for the rest of the testing: Image processor and making the theme compatible for installs outside of the root level.

I hope to have the improved image uploader available for you tonight, because ajt is an awesome human! I also fixed a bug when a jpeg is processed without keywords :D PS - to ajt - replacing anything with imagemagick can only help. Its far superior. Do you happen to know how standard it is for servers to have that? I was under the impression not everyone had imagemagick functions available.

I don't know if imagemagick is everywhere. I think that Symbiostock should check it and use imagick or current method to process images.

I would have to contact Hostgator support to change the value, which shouldn't be a big deal.

However, I have a follow-up question regarding this limit:

When I upload images larger than 25 Megapixel the Symbiostock uploader works just fine and gives me a check mark after successful upload.
The problem starts later.

The uploaded image will still show up on the "Process images" page, so once I try to process an image to Drafts something goes wonky.

Once I goto "All Images" I can see a database entry for that image but no preview image. I can make it go live but the image itself is missing.
IPTC data is all there but no image.

I'm sorry, I have not the slightest clue what you are talking about. I wish I would though.

I have no problems up to 25 Megapixels which is not a super big deal but I do have some larger stuff and amongst all the sites I sell my stuff at least on my own site, I 'd like to offer the full resolution as well.

I just had an idea! How bout I keep this buggy for as long as I can, and you guys will all end up being developers! One way or another we can ensure your job security!

Maybe I somehow misworded or mislead without knowing it. Anything not installed in root WILL NOT WORK.

FYI, its a simple path issue. So it might be about 20 minutes of going through files and making adjustments. BUT it effects the way network sites communicate. Original version assumes everyones images are located at site/search-images/keyword+keyword/

So to accomodate different domain installs at various levels, your site will have to tell the other site where the search page is located, be it site/cascoly/search-images/keyword+keyword/ or site/buypics/search-images/keyword+keyword/

So, one change effects many things.

The *** GRAND FINALLY *** of this testing phase will end with two big adjustments: Flawless image processing among differing servers, and working non-root-level installs.

Sorry MSG - last reply for now -

No. Delete it. And yes, before you do that, copy the content!

When you reinstall the theme will generate a new blank page, and update the system where its link is. Then your link will work. Paste the content back into the page.

edit; Trash is located in the pages tab. You have, if I'm not mistaken, three fields: Published, drafts, and trash. Click on trash, get content from former page, end delete.

Post by: Leo Blanchette on March 29, 2013, 03:35
Here is an update: The theme now works on any level install. YAY! DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT TILL I POST THE NEW VERSION THOUGH  :P

Our memory issue still exists with the script, even after some changes. If you have imagick installed - your doing great. If not, well---it still no work. (edit, I'm not putting out the imagick checking version unless I have some help with it)

So after going around the world with this theme and coming at least this far, I'd like to do this:

1. Start making a catalog of hosts which run Symbiostock without a problem for people considering using it.

2. Start "checklist" of things to do to get image processing to work for new webmasters starting up. Things disgussed like php.ini, htaccess...etc.

3. Get some generous coders to help get this script working optimally, so it only fails on only the cheapest or badly configured server situations.

We may be stuck with the memory issue until those three things are satisfied.

I'm going to fix one more detail with this multi-level wordpress fix, then make that child theme for you css/web savvy people to start "making it yours" visually ... and even in code if you desire.

installed the latest theme, and the root path problem is gone, but other bugs reported before remain:

activate network wont stay on

save changes to prices wont  stay


i can upload a few images alright, but when i try to process them, get the proper path but same error:
Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /homepages/35/d235364144/htdocs/cascoly/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php on line 472

Some minor problems with categories - I add 3 children to Transport, but when I list them later from 'Image Categories' it inserts them randomly and doesnt show them as children: 

   Concepts (0)
 · Traffic (0)
 · Food | Drink (0)
 · Health (0)
 · Trucks & Cars (0)
 · Events (0)
 · Landscape (0)
 · Miscellaneous (0)
 · Nature (0)

also, it displays the slug when you click on a category:

http://www.buydigpix.com/cascoly/image-categories/ (http://www.buydigpix.com/cascoly/image-categories/)

click on Hot Air Balloons & you get:
Images in category: "Hotairballoons"

-----------------------
would be nice to have a (default?) option for users to see only categories with > 0 images, so we can create categories that may not immediately have images in them

Child categories don't work... yet.

You can edit the slug on your category to be whatever you want. Just go into the category list under 'RF Images' and rollover your category and click 'edit'.

Interesting... its working for me :D Thats why I updated. I guess that is why they call it testing.

Best scenerio: leo[at]symbiostock.com < -- set me up an admin account so I can check it out myself.

OK everyone! I had a good idea -

Go to my testing site http://www.xyzai.com/ (http://www.xyzai.com/)

name: testme
password: microstockgroup

Upload images, delete them...network to your site...search...set options....

Then come back and report.

Yeah, suicide I know, but this is a testing site. I can delete it all anyway.

That site will show you how things SHOULD function in an ideal environment. In this case (not to sound stuck-up) a dedicated server  ;)

Now at least you can figure out and update me: Is your problem identical on my site and yours?

Tell me this isn't an awesome troubleshooting idea!?

edit - also check out the "testing" tab. It will list the values of the server environment. Compare them to yours.

This is cool, thanks Leo. I've added your site to test the network bits (and vice versa) but I don't know where/how they should show up on the site(s). Can you take a peek and let me know what I'm doing wrong?
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Leo Blanchette on March 29, 2013, 21:50
Lets start this way

Just to make sure we have a two-way connection (testing) go into your images, and mass-edit them and add the generic keyword "graphic"

I'll do the same - that way we know we have a mutual search going on.

In your site, in Network add http://www.xyzai.com/ (http://www.xyzai.com/) exactly.

Go to xyzai.com's admin area and add yours. If yours is non-root, do http://www.mysite.com (http://www.mysite.com)/wordpress/ or whatever your path is called.

That is it. Mutual results should show for graphic.

Leo, don't worry about all these bug threads. I am excited to get started on my new site with symbiostock even though my current site sells pretty well. I just don't have the time right now. I know I'm not the only one reading every single one of these posts so I can learn. This concept is huge and has potential to dramatically create change in the industry. Don't get discouraged, people are behind you. I'll hire my own web guy to debug this for me if I need to because I think this idea is important enough.

I promise to take care of you when I get my site up. I'll pay for add ons or if you have a place for donations I will happily contribute. Thanks for all you are doing.

Perhaps we all could agree to send Leo a small percentage (5-10%) of our first 20 sales?

Don't even worry about that. I have a plan on making money - donation soliciting doesn't even factor in.

1. Charging non-essential upgrades and cool stuff.
2. Hosting referrals.
3. Selling PicturEngine® plugin and getting commissions on that.
4. Selling company once its established. Its officially my game-plan.

By the way - gonna be making a plugin so your search results get included here: http://www.picturengine.com/ (http://www.picturengine.com/)

Its in the works. I believe its a $10 a month fee, and their really on top of their game.

Easy project. Hopefully once all the bases are covered.

I think the main problems really are diminishing now. Fixing a category thing and some other things.

In case anyone missed it:

Go to my testing site http://www.xyzai.com/ (http://www.xyzai.com/)

name: testme
password: microstockgroup

Upload images, delete them...network to your site...search...set options....

Then come back and report.

This site is living proof that things work in the right environment.

So there's a meet in the middle thing that has to happen: Symbiostock's functionality has to be a little more accommodating to more constrictive hosting environments, and people have to find less constrictive hosting environments at a decent price.

I've asked one of my more qualified contacts for some help on the image processor and getting it more compatible with more constrained environments.

I have tried to change it (having no idea what I was doing ) after looking on the wordpress.org help pages/forums  but broke the network page after trying to insert the following response to someone else which I found on the wordpress.org forums - I changed the original theme's name to symbiostock just to see if I could do it but after
~~

I think you must add or change in admin-settings.php:  (edited to add: this was in the message I found, I would not have a clue)

array(
'name' => __( 'Currency', 'symbiostock' ),
'desc' => __("This controls what currency prices are listed at in the deals and which currency gateways will take payments in.", 'symbiostock' ),
'tip' => '',

Leo, we all will be waiting very long for new version and imagick in official code, so maybe now you could make one little change:

In wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php file,
 in symbiostock_process_image function, here:


            //make our thumbnail

            $image = WideImage::load( $this->upload_dir . $image_file . '.jpg' );

            $resized = $image->resize( $thumb_size[ 'width' ], $thumb_size[ 'height' ] );

just throw away second command

and leave it as here:

            //make our thumbnail

            $resized = $image->resize( $thumb_size[ 'width' ], $thumb_size[ 'height' ] );


and it will increase jpg pix limit about twice.

For example, someone with 256M memory set in php.ini, and 25Mpix image limit (click_click, I suppose), should have about 50 MPix now.
and me, with 64M memory, will have limit incresed from 3 to 6MPix :)

But this small change ma be for now only, it has nothing common with imagick, it just removes allocating huge amout of memory, by removing one loading of image.
And for imagick, maybe look into wordpress code, it has some functions to check if imagick is present, etc.

categories seem to work.  when i list categories from the main page is says i have none - but i assume that's because it doesn't show categories with 0 images?

if i have no images in transport, but 3 child categories will that display as:

transport (0)
    -- trains (2)
    -- hot air balloons (8)

======================

still no saves for network, settings, prices,etc

upload works, as does ftp and files appear in the proper folder  but process gives same error:

I've got image processing problems on my live site. The 'Process Uploads' page stalls at reload with only the title displayed, and the metadata for a processed image appears in an entry in 'All Images' without any thumbnail. This only happens with files over about 4MB, and I thought it might be caused by the post_max_size 8M limit in the php.ini, but my local test site works well with that setting.

Any ideas about other settings to check?

Probably you have 64M memory limit for php. Read my reply #127 above. Maybe Leo will finish new version today, with Imagick and it should resolve this problems. Meanwhile you can try to increase memory_limit in php.ini (if you are allowed to do it on your server).

Already at 128M, and the test site is fine with 64M. OK, I'll wait for the update.

Ahh - that is the issue I am having, even though my images are about 1.5M in size. Which setting need to be added to the php.ini file to properly change that memory allocation?

If you can edit your php.ini then you need

memory_limit = 128M

If you can't edit the file (as I can't) you can often add an override in your root directory.

Make a file called .user.ini containing

Code: [Select]
[php]
memory_limit = 128M

in the site root. That PHP in the square brackets is supposed to be upper case, but the forum software won't have a bar of it.

This is more reliable than .htaccess files for PHP settings, as they don't work if PHP is running as FastCGI rather than an Apache module.

upload works, as does ftp and files appear in the proper folder  but process gives same error:

Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /homepages/35/d235364144/htdocs/cascoly/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php on line 472

Yep! Now only categories that have images show. Also if you upload a bunch of images and save them as drafts, then add them to category, it will still appear lacking until you publish them.

Just a general update which I'm sure people are figuring out - the majority of problems left are just hosting-specific issues, which hopefully we can fix soon. Gonna put in something ajt had given me and see what I can do to free up memory.

Leo, I know you're pretty much off the clock already.

I feel kind of bad posting requests or reminding any developer about features/fixes to be considered but I wanted to throw in that it would be great if vertical images were centered on the product pages.

Would that be just a CSS issue or would you have to "hard code" it into the main thing?
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Leo Blanchette on March 30, 2013, 19:43
css - could even be done with child theme. But I'll do that since it seems like a pretty standard expectation.

Regarding people who cannot save settings in network/author/etc can you quickly post what browsers your using? I logged into cidepix's site and it works for me so I think its just browser. - which means its probly just a javascript change.

edit - or for fun - enter the cheatcode mentioned on original post. If nothing happens, javascript is broken on that page :D

Here is another one:

After the update something happened to my categories.

All the standard categories have been added to the ones that I custom created (I deleted all the standard ones).

However, some of my custom categories now show up with a "-2" at the end like "Architecture-2" and it even says "Architecture-2" on the actual page when I click on that category.

Since I do not have two categories with the same name (architecture was just an example) I'm surprised to see this happening.

I accidentally, deleted all categories (again) and therefore all images were stripped off their custom categories.  :P

Tonight's main agenda for me tonight:

Memory use on image processing

The "It doesn't save when I click save" problem in admin area for some users

Centering the main page preview pic

Other money/currency

...let me know if I'm forgetting anything crucial...

child theme installs ok, but how do i add my name & url to the replace yours? 
:

If you open the CSS file contained in the folder of the child theme, you simply change my name to yours, and url as well...top of css file.

Kind of weird. I didn't do any major changes to categories except how they display. If your not too deep into things - delete ALL your categories and reinstall. They will be there fresh, and hopefully should work fine.

Darned, I must have messed something up.

Coincidentally I custom created a category called "city" and I believe this lead the database to believe the standard category city (rural or something) is #1 and my custom category would be #2

I could see that - if that's actually the case.

But then I created a category that did not remotely exist in the clean install.

After the update, seeing all the "old", standard categories I thought, ugh, let me just wipe them out and delete them. I deleted the first bulk -> fine.
Then on the second page (few categories left) once I hit the delete button I realized that my custom categories were still there (I think I saw that - not 100% sure).

So maybe my custom categories already received a spot in the database but then I deleted them.

Setting up thses categories again, must have led to the additional -2 situation - I guess   :-\

Now, I deleted all categories, deactivated the theme, reactivated the theme, deleted all categories and created my custom ones again.

Still, SOME categories have the -2 added  :-X

No clue what to do now.

I'll try to make an option to disable blog search tonight. The option should be there though for all-around functionality. Some people might have blogs.

And a search with multiple keywords... it should work. Only in some rare cases it should fail.

My image has the keywords Blueprint, bright, cartoon, and searching for them reveals that image.

about the search (daveh900 brought this up first so I will give an example using his site)

this image http://stompstock.com/image/halloween-party-invitation-graphics/ (http://stompstock.com/image/halloween-party-invitation-graphics/) contains all these keywords: stamp, school, seal, treat, trick, vintage

so when you search for stamp, school, seal, treat, trick, vintage or stamp school seal treat trick vintage that image should come up in search results, since it contains all those keywords.. but it doesn't..

only when you search for one of the keywords that image comes up along with hundreds of other images.. so as it stands, it is impossible to narrow down the search results..

That is strange. I guess its one of those minor things I'll have to pay attention to. If your up for it make me an account on your site (admin) and I'll look at it myself. Nobody else has reported the problem?

Cidepix - I'd like to have something pre-selected. One of those annoying details I have to get to.

How bout this - added to tonight's agenda for me -

Remove all non-alpha-numeric characters from search. I'll bet at least you could search multiple keywords. If I can search title occurrences too that might be enough for now.

After tonight if problems still occur I hope it inspires a new coder to join the project. Within months this thing could have more features than you could imagine. Its time more than complexity.

btw, I think "comma" was not the problem, because when I removed "stamp" from the keywords I used, it brought up that image, with or without commas..

Isn't the issue with the example file above - the actual keyword is rubber stamp, not stamp. So the search is not looking inside a compound keyword or phrase?

Thanks for the heads up (and thanks Leo for the email).

My problem came from doing child themes. In two template files they looking to include files that were in the symbiostock folder, but were still being directed to look in the current (or child theme) folder.

in Footer.php:
include_once('modal-login.php');

in taxonomy-image-tags.php:
include_once('modal-search.php');

Seems to be all working again now.

I need to update the issues as I take care of them or I'll forget. Please save comments until after I put out tonight's version.

Thank you ajt for helping me on the memory saving issue http://www.microstockgroup.com/symbiostock-technical-support/symbiostock-test-build-the-bug-stomping-thread (http://www.microstockgroup.com/symbiostock-technical-support/symbiostock-test-build-the-bug-stomping-thread)!/125/ Reply #127

Hopefully memory consumption has improved a bit. But here is a little word from the wideimage creator himself:

http://wideimage.sourceforge.net/documentation/technical-details/performance/ (http://wideimage.sourceforge.net/documentation/technical-details/performance/)

What is says (to me) is simple: PHP image functions are not the perfect solution (known fact). And his library, which we are using, only adds a small amount of overhead while using php image functions.

But there are packages (depending, again, on server environments) which are hugely more efficient on graphics processing. Like imagick. Wordpress checks for it and uses it if possible: http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php (http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php) ...but it depends on server environment. So if your limited in memory, but your server has the imagick package...your probably all set.

So its SO easy! Alls I have to do is work it in! But, unfortunately, its not a paying gig for me yet and I have to detour to customers for the next two weeks.

What needs to happen, if you want it sooner: Someone just has to write in a number of conditional statements checking for imagick and use it if it is there. Also on the download page (where customer purchases/downloads) because wideimage dynamically resizes their image on demand (to save you file/space useage) and deploys it straight to the browser.

So this is the point where people decide "Wow, I think I love this project enough to go track down a coder and make it happen! Then we can release a revised zip to the community sooner and when Leo is available he can merge it into the main branch on github!"

This will really be how it works for issues beyond image processing - features can be added things can just keep getting better. Almost any feature on any stock photo site could easily be implemented into this project. In the world of stock photography I'm sure there are submitters who are familiar with PHP and would love to get involved. You just need to contact them forcefully drag them in because this is SO much fun.

didnt think of it earlier, but as suggested, i tried under chrome, rather then IE10, and the save problem went away -- i can add to my network (havent tested anything further), and can change prices.  good to know, but most of the world (ie, my potential buyers) still use IE

the process uploads for a 32K image still fails thouigh

When you get to paypal the prices are in dollars.

I have tried to change it (having no idea what I was doing ) after looking on the wordpress.org help pages/forums  but broke the network page after trying to insert the following response to someone else which I found on the wordpress.org forums - I changed the original theme's name to symbiostock just to see if I could do it but after
~~

I think you must add or change in admin-settings.php:  (edited to add: this was in the message I found, I would not have a clue)

array(
'name' => __( 'Currency', 'symbiostock' ),
'desc' => __("This controls what currency prices are listed at in the deals and which currency gateways will take payments in.", 'symbiostock' ),
'tip' => '',
'id' => 'symbiostoc_currency',
'css' => 'min-width:300px;',
'std' => 'GBP',

'USD' => __( 'US Dollars ($)', 'symbiostock' ),
'EUR' => __( 'Euros (€)', 'symbiostock' ),
'GBP' => __( 'Pounds Sterling (£)', 'symbiostock' ),
'AUD' => __( 'Australian Dollars ($)', 'symbiostock' ),
'CAD' => __( 'Canadian Dollars ($)', 'symbostock' ),

Hey Leo, sorry to distract you, I'm about to jump in on testing this tomorrow (australia time), just wondering - are you putting out a new version in the next 12-18 hours? If so, I will wait for that version to begin my setup and testing.

Not sure if others would agree, but I think it would be helpful to receive an email with each new release at this point, as I'm finding it hard to keep track of these forum threads and releases (but thanks for implementing version numbers, that will help HEAPS!)

Brilliant thanks. I am on your list already, but think I've only got 2 emails thus far (not sure if you've sent more, seems like there has been more releases than 2?)

I can understand your reluctance to spam people, but from my point of view the more communication on this project the better.

Also, have you considered running something like Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org (http://www.mantisbt.org)) or similar on your server to keep track of bugs/progress on issues? I wonder whether it would help keep track of things better than a forum?

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply and I'll wait till tomorrow to leap into Symbiostock. Thanks again Leo!

I've got image processing problems on my live site. The 'Process Uploads' page stalls at reload with only the title displayed, and the metadata for a processed image appears in an entry in 'All Images' without any thumbnail. This only happens with files over about 4MB, and I thought it might be caused by the post_max_size 8M limit in the php.ini, but my local test site works well with that setting.

Any ideas about other settings to check?

Doing a bit more poking about, turned display_errors on and this is the error message:

Yes, that is crucial. If your script can't execute all the images within x-seconds it will die. set_time_limit allows it to loop through images until its done. In our prototype sites, when I processed Christos's ( http://www.atstockillustration.com/ (http://www.atstockillustration.com/) )  thousands of images the script ran for like an hour.

Just about done with the currency feature. We've got "USD", "EUR", "GBP", "CAD", "JPY".

Question: The cart system relies on a (number) point (decimal) format. For instance 1.50 is 1 dollar 50 cents USD.  5.00 is five dollars.

Now that we have those other cart values, will 1.00 make sense as "EUR", "GBP", "CAD", "JPY" or is there different formats for any of these? Quick answer would be great. I'm getting ready to put this up for download soon.

I am attempting to test purchasing, but I am absolutely stumped by PayPal IPN... my test payments are going through but nothing is happening after that.  Can someone more technical maybe take a peek at the IPN file provided and give us an idea of what needs to be changed/added?  Also what page to put in our PayPal settings as the page it's supposed to be "listening" to? That'd be awesome :)

On another note...I have my PayPal (verified business account) set up to take payments from one of my other sites so all of that site's information is appearing on my checkout page.  I was wondering wear the logo we upload for PayPal comes in and if anyone knows of a good way to set up different branding depending on which site customers check out from?


Paypal was working previously. My currency update probably left something different than previously. Just keep looking at it that way when I get back I have to use my brain as little as possible and you will have  an update quicker.

I tired in Chrome, Mozilla and ie and got the error. However when I restored to the previous version it went away. Not sure why, but it could be my own fault messing with things. Lastly, I don't know how to enable the image license link so that customers can download the purchased image. In the backend the license url disappears when I click save.

The license link is unrleated to paypal. Also I'm not sure it works right now. I meant to change it to a hard-coded link for your reference. (Tonight's update!  :P )

Like I said, put plenty of work into seeing why paypal is not working. When I get back I want to solve this last issue quickly. Should work like this:

Customer checks out (that works apparently)
Customer completes transaction, ends up on verification page on paypal.
Paypal redirects user. (While that happen, paypal is calling your IPN to post the sale that just happened)
IPN updates user files, and user automatically has landed on their page for downloads (customer page).

If any insightful guinea pigs can tell me where its backfiring it will save me some troubleshooting time.

Thanks guys. We're almost done. After Sunday...well...its your baby and you are adoptive parents for the next two weeks.

First of all: Excuse me if my error report sounds sounds stupid or can easily be fixed, I am not an experienced programmer! :-(

I installed Wordpress and Symbiostock earlier today and while most things seem to work fine, I receive the following error message when trying to process the images uploaded:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in (I removed full path for this post)/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/wideimage/lib/WideImage.php on line 194

Can anyone give me a hint what I need to do? Thanks in advance, also for this great venture!

I can help you with this - I was with 1and1 and they have a restricted set of commands that you can use in PHP - the programing language used.

I had to add a php.ini file - which you create in notepad and save as php.ini and my contains the following:

allow_url_fopen = ON
allow_url_include = ON
allow_furl_open = true

You should be able to them upload that (using ftp) into the root folder of your site. On 1and1 I had to run a script that puts it in all the folders of the installation.

Hope that helps - this is not an error in the theme - it is a hosting company restriction.

Steheap, many thanks for your quick and clear response! Indeed I am with 1und1 (how did you find out?) and did now place your ini-file in all the folders I considered to be relevant. Now the process script does not throw any more errors - but unfortunately nothing else happens after calling the "process" function. Anyone experienced the same? Thanks again...

Post by: Kerioak~Christine on March 31, 2013, 15:21
Just thought - I imagine there should be a message telling us which image has sold, which size and who to ?  I did not get one of those either for the  test purchases

Edit:   I have just put the link in back into paypal to return to the site page to get image - makes no difference, still no download link or messages (apart from paypals) confirming sale to site owner or customer

If anyone can work this out I think we must be almost ready to go ?
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: steheap on March 31, 2013, 15:25
I guessed about the 1and1! I'm having all the same issues!

In case it helps, here is a link to a page about the script that takes a php.ini file in your root folder and copies it to all other folders. There is also a script that deletes the php.ini file if you need to get rid of it from all folders. Works well - you just need to add the "external" root folder ID - which you get from the environment area of the Testing Tab of the Sybiostock options. It is called Redirect_Document_Root and looks like: /kunden/homepages/23/d898564.....

Anyway, back to the plot. I found that putting this php in all folders made the system work without errors but it froze at Process images. I then tried with a very small jpeg - 100K file size - and it all worked. However, I tried with a 1.5M file and no success.

I contacted 1and1 support and they told me to buy the business package (although my package is supposed to have 60M of memory and the Business one only has 80M, so I've given up on that.

I'm currently building an installation in BlueHost instead. They claim to give your money back for any reason, so I thought I would try it in a new host.

Sorry that I haven't got better news about 1and1

Post by: steheap on March 31, 2013, 15:41
One other update about this 1and1 issue. I never got it to work for images over 1M, so I've tried a new build on BlueHost with their $3.95 a month for 36 months package. Building the WP site was a breeze - no separate creation of a database etc. I'm used to all the settings now so I quickly added the Symbiostock theme. I uploaded a 3M image with no issues, but I'm struggling a bit with a 14M image. I'm getting an error for files greater than 10M. Perhaps I need to use FTP for that.

Post by: franky242 on March 31, 2013, 15:51
Steve, unfortunately you are right with your assumptions: I also tried uploading a very small image and the processing works fine, no luck however with anything >100KB! Thanks anyway and good luck with bluehost!

Leo seems like there is indeed an issue with processing larger images with several hosters, 1und 1 (https://www.1und1.de (https://www.1und1.de)), one of the largest German hosters seems not to support processing of images largen than 100kB. Anything you can do about that?
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: steheap on March 31, 2013, 15:56
I had little success with 1and1 tech support, I'm afraid. I think this may be a project where you need to pay out a bit more money for success. BlueHost is sort of OK so far - I'm just working an issue with files above 10M, but it is a lot better than the experience I had with 1and1

May I ask a really stupid question?

When you upload a new version of a theme to Wordpress - that has the same name as the last theme - how do you do it?  Do you uninstall the current theme or does this destroy all the work you have done to date?


And 2nd question.  I also am having trouble with watermark - I seem to remember Cathy mentioning it in another thread but I cannot find.  I just can't understand Steve's help above.  Do I have to log into Godaddy to make suggested changes?

Post by: Travelling-light on March 31, 2013, 18:22
I haven't seen anyone raise this one before...

I just uploaded a logo for the Paypal screen and made a test purchase to check it. When I clicked on the download link for the new file I got this...

(http://photo.travelling-light.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/TL_dl_screen.jpg)

It's a 13MB file. The smaller file is still available, and works fine.

The way this works is that you first activate one of the other themes - Twenty-eleven, for example. Then Symbiostock will have a delete link under it as it is no longer the active theme. Click on delete. Then upload the new theme (by pointing at the latest zip copy of the build) and activate that. It doesn't hurt the work you have already done as that is stored in the database.

I've made my own watermark - it needs to be exactly the right size, 522x522 and a transparent png. Make it pretty low opacity so it is just visible. Then upload it somewhere to the site (you can use the normal image/media manager to do that, or FTP it. Then update the setting on the Setting page of Symbiostock to point to the watermark. It is added during the image processing step.

To do the PHP.ini stuff, you need to have ftp access to your root folder - where the top level folders associated with Wordpress sit. There may be a php.ini file already there, in which case you add the extra lines to it and re-upload. If it is a new php.ini, then you create it in notepad, save and upload. You may also have a file explorer in your Godaddy account that would avoid the ftp step.

Hey guys,

I'll be working on that last bug for tonight. Actually I don't think its a bug. I had a feeling a simple change like currency might effect something else...I get the impression it might be the the script I made is not allowing the purchase to go through -

What happens if payment does not equal cart value, the script aborts. Now that we have currency differences, it might be posting a converted value, and the script thinks your getting shorted, so its dieing as programmed.

Or maybe thats not it. I'll have it fixed tonight.

BTW - if you happen have any sort of paypal problem, you can still serve your customers the right stuff. Its not the end of the world.

Post by: Pixart on March 31, 2013, 21:12
Steve many thanks for your help.  I updated the theme (without fear). 

But cannot fix the watermark issue.  I removed my watermark in case I made a mistake with the size and used Leos template so it should be to spec no prob. 

I went to my godaddy ftp folder, found the php.ini file - hit "edit" 
Then added the lines
allow_url_fopen = ON
allow_url_include = ON
allow_furl_open = true

Still getting the error message.

I DO NOT get the error message when I go back to the S default watermark and upload/process photos. 

Maybe need to look with fresh eyes tomorrow.

I just worked through the same issue. Check that the transparent png is the right size. Copy the url you put in the setting page and put it in a new browser window - do you see the transparent image? Probably just a typo and you are not pointing to the right file

Problem with what is displayed in the customers cart - under "Option" it lists the image's assigned number (in this case "121"), which is meaningless for the client. Can we get it to show the images Title instead?

Pixart - should be 522 x 522 just to double check wasn't sure if that was a typo but if you have 520 square you are a few pixels off.  Not sure if that is the difference?

I looked at sandbox and got in a right mess so left it well alone - I have been doing it for real just changed an item to 10p so I don't lose too much


EDIT:   Ruchos seems to have found the answer - he posted this in the paypal thread but I will add it here in case anyone else comes here to find the answer to same problem of sales not going through .

"In ipn/paypal_ipn.php line 34, it reads:

//sandbox url...uncomment for testing
$ch = curl_init('https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' (https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'));
//$ch = curl_init('https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'));


it should be (for real sales, not when sandbox testing):

Hi Cidepix  I have just tested image processing in V9 (identifying by the number that shows up when you download) and it works as expected, no errors such as yours.

Could it be a host limiting something as when I had upload size errors they looked fine when uploading, I just got the errors when processing

(if you know it is not this then totally ignore me as I don't really have a clue, just trying things out to try and eliminate them for you).  How big is the image you got the error on, is it the same with every size?

I am sure you are close.. that's what I initially thought as well.. but I have another site hosted on the same account and images are uploaded/processed without issues.. the images I tried are quite small here.. (1-2 MB) since this testing site is located on a subfolder, it may be that the php.ini file is not seen by symbiostock.. I have no clue as well..

Not sure where you are hosted, but I had a lot of issues with larger file sizes at 1and1 - I had to put the php.ini in all the folders just to make it work, but even then I struggled with anything above 1M.

I've moved to Bluehost and have the latest 1.4 release and everything is working fine. I had to add a php file to increase the max upload size to 32M, and that worked fine as well.

From me:

1. If you do a search for a term that doesn't exist in your partner networks, I get a whole lot of errors like:
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 56: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 9 and head in /home1/backyay9/public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/network-manager/network-manager.php on line 196

2. If you have a compound keyword like "St Thomas", neither a search for Thomas or St Thomas finds the file. It seems like the individual words have to be keywords in their own right.

3. If you change the file reference to License Agreement in the Setting panel, and save, the reference disappears. It only comes back if you reactivate Symbio, and then it is pointing to a new instance of the License Agreement

1. If you do a search for a term that doesn't exist in your partner networks, I get a whole lot of errors like:
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 56: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 9 and head in /home1/backyay9/public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/network-manager/network-manager.php on line 196



That shouldn't happen. You should get an empty result as shown here - search on www.xyzya.com (http://www.xyzyai.com) to see how it should work

If anyone is up for a challenge (my tired mind is simply unable to do it within the next two weeks) do you want to try to hunt down the html error (precisely where) in the admin screen? That small error is causing ajax to fail on internet explorer. Or maybe another issue is causing it and I'm just assuming its html errors.

ok here is a bug..

on the settings page, scroll down to licensing section..

when you edit the "end user license agreement" link and click "save", link disappears and that box goes blank.. (google chrome)

I'm hoping this is my last bug. When I enter one of my keywords in the search field it will sometimes come up with the "not found" page even though I know the key is in the list. Now when, in the not found page (that lists the categories), I click any category, I get a 404 error. But only on this page.  Anyone else have this one?

I search the term "gold" since I have some gold nuggets on my site tagged with that, then I get the "no results page" (http://photominingstock.com/earth/?image-tags=gold (http://photominingstock.com/earth/?image-tags=gold)). When I click on any category on this page I get a webhost 404 not found page.

So here is an update on the next...update. In a list.

1. Paypal is easier to set up. Just put in your email address. IPN takes care of itself. Thanks cidepix and kenny from clipartof.com :D
2. My brain hurts.
3. Parent categories now display their children. Even children nested a few levels deep. So if you happen to be taking pictures of the animal kingdom and are trying to accurately reflect taxonomies...you could do it. Even more importantly, if you did do that in a stock photo website you'd be famous.
4. An "alternate" license page listing in the symbiostock settings admin panel is really not necessary, so I dropped it.
5. Some other stuff I can't remember.

I'll have the download ready soon.

Congradulations! You've discovered a plugin conflict: All in One Webmaster is killing your uploader. I don't know why. But if the problem is on my end I'll figure it out and fix it.

An alternative YOAST Wordpress SEO plugin might be a better option anyway.

No matching image files found. You may have named them incorrectly. Fix problem and re-upload. This file has been removed. Example: "my_stock_art.eps" or "my_stock_art.zip" must have accompanying ""my_stock_art.jpg" to be considered a valid set/file.

They are ALL photos, haven't uploaded a single vector yet.

Any ideas? I'm using the site uploader, not ftp. And using bluehost now.

Just .jpg files. they are small though - is there issue with files being too small in either pixels or filesize? They are all 3-4mp and about 1-3mb in size.

WAIT - just noticed the files that failed were .JPG (notice the uppercase), which is still a valid jpg but perhaps thats the problem?

Also, I think the other files that might have failed had a "_" (underscore) in the name.

I reckon thats it, I just tried it again, one with the .JPG and one just .jpg and it works on the 2nd file but not the first.

Might need to loosen up the upload parameters a bit?

JPG would die yes. And _ should not hurt anything but let me see.

Can you give me a few samples of fail-able images? dropbox or message me with some temporary downloads on your site. That way I can fix it. I might be able to make it accommodate uppercase. Is that common?

LOL we're on catchment, I don't think I could keep up with it's water intake. But a pic...yeah, he'd look good hung around the house.

"_" does not trip up the script. just uppercase jpg. Maybe I'll just make sure everything gets converted to lowercase upon transfer.

Anyway, if you can send me those files I can fix any other issues besides that.

Sorry, more error testing and I have found it is indeed only .JPG that breaks (not the underscore from what I can see)

Not much point sending you one, as you can change any jpg at your end to it.

It's not that common, but many point and shoot cameras do use it as an extension.

sorry, I keep replying at the same time as you!

So try converting one of your files to .JPG and it will replicate the same thing. Not that I'm against sending you my files, just that I've gotta run for the night.

See ya! I'll keep plugging away at this tomorrow arvo. (that's "afternoon" for all you non-australians) ;)

From me:

- prices changed to values without decimal point and exactly two digits after it, are displayed in 'RF Images->All images' as they were entered, and on image page buyer sees them in cents. For example 2 is seen as 0.02 and so on. Another axample: "2.50" needs to be entered axactly as "2.50". "2.5"  makes "0.25" :)

- i changed default image sizes, but for old and newly uploaded images, still old sizes are displayed as available for download.

Both cases - known and expected right now. But thanks for mentioning it - fix eventually will be made.

Until more validation/correction is put in, the user has to enter amount.00 (the decimal) or the math will get funky.

Also the sizes are only memorized on upload right now. Will fix soon. Just want to make sure it doesn't break anything.

4/2/13 - updated testing theme - please download 1.1.7

Please note: The best thing you can do for the project at this time is to tell others about Symbiostock, and grow your network.

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



Here is a child-theme for you. This allows you to change the appearance and functionality of your site independent of Symbiostock theme. - make it yours!

This happens when you hit the magnifying glass to preview a photo.  If you notice under the title it says "by Pixart", but under Laurent's it has his e-mail address.  I'm pretty sure these are the names of our admin account.  In my case it looks okay, but I'm not sure that Laurent will want his e-mail address under what really is "author".

I got round this by creating a new admin with user name Steve Heap and I log in with that when I am doing any work. I think Bluehost automatically create the first admin account with your email, which seems like a bad plan.

tried uploading jpg first, then the zip, and it worked

if zip file doesnt have matching jpg can't it just be left in draft rather than re-upl 40Mb??

I'm dropping in for a quick help on a few things then I'm out for the day -

Your network buddy has to update his permalink structure to "post". The network is very sensative to having everyone's permalinks be the same. It will change to be more flexible eventually, but for now thats how it is.

Search is very much new right now. Literally what I could achieve just "making it work" and moving on to complete the package. With a few days of attention, search will be everything you might want / expect. Give it a few weeks.

I would guess that there is a snippet of code missing which would show the link for resetting the password.  I have had a quick search to see if I can find anything but mostly it is retrieving passwords, not putting the code in to retrieve them.

This happens when you hit the magnifying glass to preview a photo.  If you notice under the title it says "by Pixart", but under Laurent's it has his e-mail address.  I'm pretty sure these are the names of our admin account.  In my case it looks okay, but I'm not sure that Laurent will want his e-mail address under what really is "author".

It might be wordpress inserting an email because author name has been left out.

I was talking to support for 40 minutes at Hostgator regarding the password retrieval email with the missing link and the rep's opinion is that it must be a Wordpress/theme issue.

I was asked to create more accounts to test it with, using different email addresses etc. Still same problem.

Since the email is being sent out it's not a server issue on the host's end (apparently).

Since I know pretty much nothing about proper programming this is all I can report.

Therefore, I do have the same problem lilke Bluehost users.  :-X

I don't know if this will help but when I upload the ZIP file into my themes/symbiostock folder on the server and extract it, it creates a second symbiostock subfolder and puts all files in there.

So I have to select all those files and folders and move them one level up so that everything is located in the .../themes/symbiostock/ folder.

Maybe this helps.

About update version:

i can't disable SS theme, so i did somekind of workaround.

- Activate a new theme . Pick anyone avaliable.

- Delete Symbiostock theme and child theme

- Do ZIP file upload (new version have child theme included)

- Install and be happy

Farbled can be credited for discovering a nice little wordpress limitation ;D :

Taxonomies cannot share identical slugs (url names).

keyword = gold
category = gold

So a search for gold results in an empty search. Category "gold" is full of images assigned to that category.

Its not a bug - its a wordpress thing. Just not very obvious.

http://www.hacksparrow.com/wordpress-the-slug-is-already-in-use-by-another-term.html (http://www.hacksparrow.com/wordpress-the-slug-is-already-in-use-by-another-term.html)

Best practice: Make your categories unique from your keywords.

This theme has to be considerate to people new to wordpress, so I'm going to try to find a way to keep people from submitting conflicting (same) terms.

I'm getting these ominous sounding warnings under my parent theme.  I think I did something when I was trying to get the php.ini files uploaded to increase my file uploads.  The warnings remain even when I've deleted and installed newer versions of Symbiostock.  Any suggestions on how to fix these?  I'm guessing I have to do it through the file manager in my C-Panel but not sure exactly what to do.

Warning: stripos() [function.stripos]: needle is not a string or an integer in /home2/virtubm8/public_html/nameofmysite/wp-includes/functions.php on line 658

Ok, error message is still significant and with each one I fix its fixed for good - for everyone - so if you want me to check it out just make me an admin account on your site and send me a message with the new admin account's info (and make it with the email address leo at symbiostock.com)

-- this investment of bug-hunting now is going to make this an easy theme for when hundreds of people start using it.

Dear all,

Tinny found the solution for the email display when a picture is zoomed it, it is on WP my profile:

I copy paste his message below

Cheers:)

WORDPRESS LOGIN NAME - NAME ON IMAGES

When you get to the stage of customers viewing your thumbnails if they click on the magnifying glass your name will come up on the image.  It is strongly recommended that you add a name other than your admin identity.

To do this go to "Users" "My Profile" then scroll down to
     
Username     ... possibly admin or whatever you chose when you created Wordpress ....   Usernames cannot be changed.
First Name   
Last Name   
Nickname (required)      ....  add the name you wish to appear with your images here ..........
Display name publicly as   ....  select it in the dropdown box ..

I'm getting these ominous sounding warnings under my parent theme.

Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Leo Blanchette on April 02, 2013, 22:42
Farbled caught a problem - important one (this time wordpress, not the theme) - so I've updated to work around.

Download: - You can afford to wait on this one. Its not crucial.
https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock.zip
https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/README.md

If you create a category name that matches one of your keywords (which in the use of this theme with its users is very likely) you will get 404 on either the search page or the category page on that term.

This update changes the slug(url element) of your category term and appends "-images" to it which will keep it unique, upon category creation. It won't effect the title.

So if you submit "dogs" your url will have "dogs-images". But your title will simply say "dogs" for that category.

Thanks again. With every problem we fix, future users will have it that much easier. This theme really needs to be user friendly to non-wordpress users. Keep submitting bug finds. I'm done here for the day.

Nope, just did the standard stuff.

I actually deleted all my categories and started fresh. What's happening is that the caterogy results either come up with nothing found, or they come up with the results from a  different category

Hmm, I'll reinstall the theme and maybe try using the categories that came with it, and just rename them and see if that works.

Post by: click_click on April 03, 2013, 10:12
Hmm, that's a weird one.

I didn't install the latest update(s) yet and added my own slug "-images" to it. At least I don't have to deal with custom categories that had the slug "-2" (those I couldn't change back to just the category name!) in them...

Other than that, my custom categories work fine. Results are correct here as well.

I'd also recommend a new install of the theme. Don't forget to deactivate and reactivating it.

Post by: steheap on April 03, 2013, 10:12
I think that is the issue. This latest build changed the URL slugs of the categories to add -images to them all, and the search function by category now looks for that extended url. You can edit your own categories to change the url slug, or you could get rid of yours and take the standard ones and move forward from there.

Thanks, I'll give it a go with the installed categories. i've ried everything else with the slugs and re-naming etc. You can see the wrong results here: http://photominingstock.com/earth/ (http://photominingstock.com/earth/) just select any category and the incorrect results come up. Very strange...

Grrr. I'm still having category issues. I'm getting blank search results when you click on the category results. Anyone else having this?

Yes.  I got frustrated yesterday and took a rest.  I might update theme later today to see if anything changes.

FYI - I did add/change a few categories.

Well I just reinstalled the latest theme and added some live pics to some default categories. No luck. It either gives me no results or incorrect results. Maddening...

We are all guinea pigs. Your inconvenience now (and mine, the constant revisions) is saving 1000s of people issues when this starts moving faster. When self-hosting becomes the norm and a large part of one's income, I hope this theme/tool is even more advanced than other areas we are used to. And as easy.

That's normal when you register on a Wordpress site. It was a surprise to me when I first registered on a WP based shopping site! You can only adjust your own profile, then go back to the site by the link at top left.

I'd like to help more but after the farbled category bug (I gave it a name) I have to truly walk away for two weeks. Been succesfull though. It might be worth putting your heads together to find some developers who might be interested in this project. Your problem might be a simple one - change browsers?

I'd like to fix it so you don't have to change browsers, but sadly I've already overstayed my time in this project and need to catch up on other things. It will be in the works when I get back.

Ok, I figured out the "no results" for search for specific terms. When the category issue came up originally, it somehow changed the keyword slug behind the scenes and it doesn't seem to update with a new theme install.

You have to go to the general keywords section (RF Images -> Image Keywords) in the backend and correct the slug for any keyword that you may have previously used as a category title.

One down, one to go. :)

First time I thought that something went wrong, so I clicked again on "Get licenses" and payed again. I think that many real customers can do the same.

uploaded fine.. but I can tell you, processing is definitely broken with this version.. something changed.. no idea what.. It can't be server or hosting issues because I was uploading and processing perfectly fine a couple of days ago..

I know it's not an error on my side but I still went ahead and increased memory limits to max levels but it didn't help..

will have to wait for a working version I guess..

I don't know.. I thought this issue was behind me, but here is the problem that disappeared the other day, and came back with this version.. this is what I get when trying to process images:

allow_url_fopen is On
memory limit is 128mb
max upload size is as high as I would like to set it.. in fact I have access to php.ini file.. I can set it as high as I wish..

the other day it even worked when memory limit was 96 and all other settings were lower.. I increased them after I ran into this problem.. how could this be caused by me when all I did was:

- deactivate symbiostock, activate a default wp theme..
- delete symbiostock, re-upload the new version..
- activate the new version..

and welcome the processing issues :)

Could you try going back to the previous working build and see if that is still OK? That would at least pin down the cause of the issues. I'm sure you meant it this way, but don't you activate a default wp theme, which deactivates symbiostock so you can delete it?

But i'm still facing upload issues. Upload runs ok, but when click "process images" , i can't see thumbs (see image) and later when i choose "process to publish" again nothing appears on screen.

Just two days ago was ok. I don't know what happened.

what are your hosting configuration values? because mine are supposed to let me upload 50-80MP images.. but for some reason it's not happening..

and as I said, 2 days ago my install was seamless.. I uploaded, processed, created accounts, sent password recovery emails, made purchases, redirected to the site, downloaded images, and everything.. it was all working..

suddenly processing is broken.. I can't explain.. everything else still works..

Looking at this it seems to be a problem could be with the watermark... it is looking for the symbiostock watermark and it isn't there, or it is invalid.

Well - I'm on Godaddy and I think I've made the suggested fixes and I can't get my own watermark to work.  And since v1.17 my photos come up in searches but don't appear on the pages/categories.    I think I will have to wait until version 3.3 because I am such a spaz at all this. ;)

I think something in the theme changes something in the actual Wordpress install. I finally broke down and re-installed everything from scratch (including a fresh WP install) and everything now works. Search, categories, paypal without IPN. I'm very pleased. :)

Its referencing your child theme. Evidently you made an /img/ directory and put your watermark there? Perfectly fine and legit. It should work.

Faintly of course...it is a watermark.

But I get a 404 when I go there, so is it possible it doesn't exist? Like, its not there? I could be wrong.

Generally its cool to upload to the media area and just copy/paste the url into the field for your watermark.

Well, i delete SS theme and upload last version. I was at least two versions back.

But i'm still facing upload issues. Upload runs ok, but when click "process images" , i can't see thumbs (see image) and later when i choose "process to publish" again nothing appears on screen.

Just two days ago was ok. I don't know what happened.

([url]http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2474/trews.jpg[/url])



oh FYI - there are not supposed to be thumbnails on that particular screen. Its just ripping meta data from the full sized files and telling you if they are empty or not before you go to draft or publish. Its then that thumbnails and other previews are created.

White incomplete screen
- That is a memory problem. By now we have enough history to know blank screen in image processor = ran out of memory. Hosting?

Leo, the watermark was there.. I removed it and switched back to the main symbiostock theme.. that is why the watermark is no longer there, because I deleted that directory now..

   - if I add -images in the slug this fixes it

A good way to check whether links are likely to be working properly is to mouse over the categories on your live site and look at the URL that is displayed in the bottom pane of the browser. If that matches the "URL slug" of your category, you should be in good shape. I just noticed that one of mine had "celebrations-images-images" which is not right. However, investigating this took me another more worrying issue. I thought I could fix this by editing the slugurl - when I did - no images appeared under this category although the category list under RF images shows 3 images present.

So, I deleted the category, recreated it and reattached my three images to it. Again, the admin page shows 3 images - the live site (with refreshes) shows none.

Worried that the word "celebrations" may be clashing somewhere with a tag, I created a new category called "rubbishcategory" and assigned one different image to it. Now when I search the live site for this category, I see no images, but if I search for my celebrations category, I see the image I assigned to "rubbishcategory". Very strange!

This post was going to say - all is fine with my installation, as I've done nothing recently apart from upgrade to the latest theme (not last nights), and add more images. This last experiment has left me wondering if I need to test more deeply again. I think we may be getting into quick fixes for issues that come up, and maybe breaking other things at the same time.

Post by: steheap on April 04, 2013, 09:07
This is a question now for Leo if he is able to look at the posts. I investigated the SQL tables to see if I could spot the issue with my wrong categories.

In table: gli_term_taxonomy, which is where the categories and tags are given IDs, all of the categories have the same term_taxonomy_ID and term_ID, except for the two that I just created this morning. My rubbish category has 551 for the first and 550 for the second. My celebrations category has 550 and 549. I haven't tracked these through into other tables, but could that be why I am seeing the wrong image appear in the search by category, and also why other people are not getting the results they expected?

Steve
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: steheap on April 04, 2013, 09:13
Edit:

I followed the taxonomy_ID through to the Objects - this is pointing to the right image. So my rubbishcategory image has the correct category assigned to it (as far as I can see).

I think I understand this now - and perhaps the mismatch isn't the issue. As far as I can see, the category name (rubbishcategory) and slug are tied to a term_ID (550), which is tied to a taxonomy_term_ID (549) which is linked to the objects (images) (231). 231 is the image I assigned to the rubbishcategory. So that all seems to play out OK.

However, in the live site, when I search for my category (celebrations), term_ID 249, this is linked to taxonomy_term_ID (550) which is linked to the three objects (240, 243 and 249)

The database seems correct - is your theme picking up the wrong field in the database - ie when I search for "rubbish", it should start with term_ID 550 but it is picking up the taxonomy_term-ID instead (which is not the same in my case although it is for almost all other categories) and so the search brings up the wrong images.

Eureka - that sounds plausible!!

This sort of issue is related to the wrong pointer to the watermark image. If you click on the file URL in the error message (where it tries to load the watermark), you get a file not found.

I'm not sure if the theme has modified the path it is looking for, or the image has been moved for some reason.

The safest approach is to upload your logos and watermarks using the media:new media part of wordpress. This stores those images outside the Sybmio theme altogether and so no changes in Sybmbio will affect them. I've done that and have not had issues since

I was searching to see if anyone else has category issues and found a post from Leo which I think is asking about this (I say I think because his post was technical) so will keep uploading and wait a couple of weeks for him to come back and see if he has found a fix.  I tried uploading various pages from previous versions of symbio but apparently did not find the right one.  I have not had a chance to upload for a couple of days so have not been checking categories, just uploading recent versions

Post by: steheap on April 04, 2013, 11:03
Yes - I think so. I believe the theme is reading the wrong field from the database. It all works fine on the original default categories because the right field and the "wrong field" have the same value, but once we add and modify categories ourselves, those two fields are no longer the same and the program is picking up the wrong one

I think when you upload a new version it'll throw out the old logo & watermark images and you'll have to re-upload them each time. What you could do is upload your watermark someplace outside the theme and link to it in your Symbiostock -> Settings page. That should work.

Story

Farbled discovered a wordpress quirk that is actually not a bug _  you cannot have two taxonomies with same slug. Ie gold keyword and same name gold category will clash unless you change slug of category to be unique. However having fixed that some new issues were created. So I just have to keep figuring this out till we are out of the weeds. We are almost there.

Checked my code, and found that the fix I made for farbled had me implement some new code that was not doing everything properly. Got it fixed, now farbled original problem is fixed AND this new one that was created.

BUT - Now some action is needed from people who are having the "ITS IN MY KEYWORDS BUT NOT MY CATEGORY WITH SAME KEYWORD NAME" problem

Go through and rename categories that share the same name as your keywords.
Wordpress does not play nice on this one.

Like in farbled's case, if you have the keyword "gold" and a category for "gold" you would have ended up with the slugs gold and gold-2

If you go back and change things, the fix I implemented is that when you create a category, like "gold", it will automatically call it "gold-images". So no duplicates. [edit: the slug will be called gold images the name you call it will display how you created it on page "gold". Slug is the url element.]

So here is new download: https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock-child.zip?raw=true

Please test it to the limit and once everything is cool I will spam everyone with the new release.

Also, if you would like to get on my new-release-spam list, contact me leo[at]symbiostock.com

I had the issue with "gold-2" categories. Deleting categories and keywords did nothing. I mean, that with new category like "gold-images" was created and new image with "gold" in keywords uploaded, that keyword somehow leaded again to "gold-2". I had to edit database to remove all "-2" endings in slugs.
And now all my slugs are ok, I think :)

Maybe a stupid question: Is possible join Main theme and child theme in a single Theme?

Post by: steheap on April 04, 2013, 13:47
That rather ruins the purpose of these. The Child theme is yours to modify (if you want) to make the site customizable for colors, fonts etc. This theme then is yours to keep for ever and new features are provided in the main theme.

if they were combined, all your amendments would be overwritten each time there was a new release of the main theme

Ahh *Lightbulb moment for me, thanks ajt. Yes, when Leo put in a fix for my issue I then noticed the gold-2 slug in the keys and posted something about that. However, changing that did not work at the time. What I then did was completely re-install WP (and database) and then started over and all worked as it should. I think ajt has it right and it's only the keys in the database that need to be edited, not a complete re-install.

However, I think that editing in RF Images->Image Keywords should help. When I deleted image I thout, that its keywords (if not in use in other images) are deleted too, but they remain all in table, and when image was uploaded again, it got its old keywords with slugs -2.
So, when someone has problem with "gold-2" keywords (after changing category slugs to inique names, with -images for example), may go to keywords table and edit slugs.

I tried that in the previous version and it cleared up the "keyword not found" issue, but didn't resolve the category issue. Therefore if the latest release clears up the category issue, we can edit the few key-slugs we've used as both and be good to go!

I'm starting to think bug-bashing is half the fun of Symbiostock. I fear if I fix too much we'll never have an excuse to keep the spirit alive! I think I'll  just start adding some new ones just to keep people interested.
Glad to see things working. Like, really really glad.

Kenny from clipartof.com pointed out a bug that I totally have put on the backburner, and it reminds me of another menu bug.

When you position your mouse just right, the menu starts jumping: http://kga.me/screengrab/video/symbio-dropdown-menu-issue/symbio-dropdown-menu-issue.html (http://kga.me/screengrab/video/symbio-dropdown-menu-issue/symbio-dropdown-menu-issue.html)

You've probably noticed that.

Yet another one - maybe you've seen it: when you have a dropdown menu, the root of which is also a link, when you get to the active page the menu will be "dark", that is, the text will inherit the darker text-change of the root menu. Simple CSS and Javascript fixes if anyones feeling up to it. Its just a time thing.

I have to say that looking through the categories has been rather inspiring to go out and shoot more - you know like the early days when we would shoot rocks and flowers and bees and sunsets and textures all of those cliché things that you would NEVER submit these days.  I find that I am not that snap happy any more (my kids are almost photo-less!) but maybe having my own categories and no competition I may go back to shooting anything I fancy.

I have been inspired too. I have been shooting but not things that would necessarily be accepted on the sites. Not to say they are not stock-worthy, but just that the agencies already have too many or they would reject for no commercial value or whatever other reason there may be. And I can upload all the similars I want!

When I download I now get 1.2.1. If its not that way for you that would be really strange.

EDIT: When you update, be sure to FIRST delete the current theme (NOT the child theme).

1a: If your not using the child theme, activate the wp default theme like 2012, then delete Symbiostock theme.
1b: If you ARE using child theme, simply delete the Symbiostock  main theme.
2. Upload new version you download from github.
3. Activate it.
4. If your using child theme, reactivate that.

Be sure to log that away for people's future questions. Thats the only way I can see your not getting updated properly...if your not installing this way.

Use Media: Add New up in the top left hand side of the admin page. It loads images automatically into an upload folder based on the year and month. When you edit the uploaded watermark, say, you will see its URL which you paste into the Symbio config page.

searches for 'elephants' or 'panoramas'  don't work, but singulars do.
the plurals were category names but the slugs were changed to 'elephants-im' before the -images was added

when i do a search for 'nature'  i get results, even though that used to be a category name (now 'nature-images').  so looks like something to do only with category slugs that were created before the fix

If I remember correctly, searches will usually find a singular or plural keyword if you include the s in the search, but if you search for singular it won't find the plural. I might be wrong, that's just what I have always understood. So when I keyword, I always use the plurals.

Yes - you could restore it - and that might solve it. Otherwise empty the trash and the page will re-create. A post in the trash technically still exists so the theme will not make a new page for you if its still in trash.

Found a small bug in the menu's.

If you create a menu item which you want as a drop down (such as Image Categories for instance), but then you don't want the top most menu item clickable, just the submenu items, so you remove the link on it, then the CSS fails and it gets the wrong styling.

See my site for an example

can fix. A lttle someing I overlooked when. Applying changes.

Great Leo. :)

Just noticed another funny thing.

I have used the new feature to append " - Stock Photo" to the end of my images. It works fine. But when you hover the mouse over the image (not the image title, that works) it seems to double up. Eg: "Brown Leather - Stock Photo - Stock Photo"

http://thpstockphotos.com/image/brown-leather/ (http://thpstockphotos.com/image/brown-leather/)

Thoughts?

Also, just wondering if now that people are up and running with sites, should some things be optional upon a install of a new theme upgrade?

For instance, instead of always installing all the default categories (which myself and others have altered/deleted/added to), could there be a "Install default categories?" option in the admin section?

It appears that one can login using either Login/Register or Please Log In, so I guess I will leave those alone, but I have question under this topic...

when I login, I am taken to the Customer License page. I would like to go to Home. On what page or how can I fix that?

Posted this question in another thread, but Leo said to post here.

For now it just goes to the license page to get the customer aware that it exists right away. Sort of "this is is your spot, just wanted you to know". But its ok for a future idea to be able to change that.

Just a general announcement to whoever is listening (to avoid opening a new thread) I noticed people like to make BIG slideshows on their front page.

I noticed one yesterday which was over 4 megabytes. Today I saw one that was 3! WOA. You guys must be on cable.

A few tips:

1. Knock down your slide count a bit...maybe 3 or 4.
2. Are you using photoshop? Use "Save for web" and choose an appropriate setting that is not perfect but not obviously degraded. I think thats somewhere between 75 and 90. But use your designer-eyes.

I still have a few optimizations to make as we go through beta to make overall page size lower and load speed faster, but huge slideshows can be a bit counter-productive.

Also, a page-speed trick: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/ (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/) <-- pretty standard for established WP sites.

Just noticed breadcrumbs don't seem to be implemented for pages or posts, just for image pages. Is that correct Leo? Not a big deal, easy enough to add, just wondering if that is correct?

Yup. I didn't want to go too crazy on it. My wife goes crazy when you start leaving breadcrumbs everywhere. I only put them where I thought they'd be most useful. I'd be happy for some general feedback though.

Post by: THP Creative on April 07, 2013, 23:31
Ha, ok cool. Personally I would like them on every page and post. I feel it gives uniformity to the sites navigation, plus it all helps with SEO, so I don't see a downside.

But thats just me.

Perhaps if you added the functionality to the pages and posts, then those who don't want them don't have to turn on the Breadcrumbs setting in Yoast?

Another oddity since the latest update. Some image searches for keywords are failing to return any results, and the URL of the returning page is odd, eg:

http://photo.travelling-light.net/?image-tags=australia (http://photo.travelling-light.net/?image-tags=australia)

with the categories list, while a successful search returns:

http://photo.travelling-light.net/search-images/landscape/ (http://photo.travelling-light.net/search-images/landscape/)

with network results, all as expected.

Did you already sign me up as an admin on your site? I can log in and see if its the bug from before. Are you sure this update changed it or are you just noticing it now? Because I'm not certain I did anything that would have affected this.
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!

Yes, you still have an admin login. I was doing the same searches earlier, before I updated, and they were working OK.

Is anyone still having the "two-eula-page" bug where extra EULAs get created?

Great, thanks! What got changed? Is it something I could have affected?

On another matter, we upload files in AdobeRGB. Are the site files converted to sRGB? They look a bit flat on screen.
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!

Yes, images are most likely converted. Can you show me a comparison? I'm curious.

Actually, some quick research suggests that GD2 can't do the conversion, and we'll have to wait for ImageMagick.

Here's an example, the LHS is from the site, the RHS is converted to sRGB in Photoshop.

Maybe, for next evening, that thing with two (or more) words in keyword?
For example, I have plenty of images with white bacground as a keyword, and after searching only two apper, having "white" and "background" as separate keywords :)

When I finally get to it I"m going to build up a nice search query which will cover all the important bases. It will see titles, kewords, keyword fragments, etc. One fine day. First I want to finish what bugs we have, but soon you will get your white background :D

Hate to be the bearer of bad news leo, but bugs remain in this latest release! ;)

The appending of "stock photo" to the images name has got worse...now there is no image name at all, just "Stock Photo"!

http://thpstockphotos.com/image/grunge-background-2/ (http://thpstockphotos.com/image/grunge-background-2/)

Also the menu bug losing its CSS remains too.

BTW I am using the child theme if that makes any difference (don't see why it would, but just in case...)

And finally, the admin section layout problems still remain too.

Sorry mate, I know thats not what you want to hear right now!

Rome wasn't built overnight either  ;D

The progress is amazing already!

Sadly, however, I'll report a bug, too (although I am not sure if this is really new).

When I click (not just hover) on a parent menu item an empty page gets displayed and the drop-down list with child items gets blacked out. - Or do I just miss something configuring my menu structure?

Nope. Its been there since first release. You just found it. If someone wants to correct the CSS I'll add it.

Leo, this is not a bug, but a request..

I am writing it here because this is the thread all of us follow..

is it possible if you remove links on images? here:
http://www.clipartillustrations.com/image/computer-security-bot-ready-to-defend/ (http://www.clipartillustrations.com/image/computer-security-bot-ready-to-defend/)

when you click on the image it goes here: http://www.clipartillustrations.com/wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_rf_content/75-computer-security-bot-ready-to-defend.jpg (http://www.clipartillustrations.com/wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_rf_content/75-computer-security-bot-ready-to-defend.jpg)

I don't think it's a good idea to send people away from the product page.. image should be non-clickable.. some mobile browsers do not have a "back button" unless they go to options > back..

there is no point imo, for these images to be clickable.. previews are big enough..
Title: Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!
Post by: Pilens on April 08, 2013, 13:15
Again, I am not sure if this has been reported before:

When I do a keyword search and nothing is found on the site I am searching on, I am getting no Symbiostock network results either. Just a page telling me "No Results found. Try browsing the categories. Maybe you will find some hidden gems" and the category list.

I'm guessing that having the image clickable is better for SEO purposes. Would it be possible for the image to load in a "lightbox" style box?

That is not a bug. Just disable comments. BTW comments on image page can be good :D

If you want to mass-remove comments you can do it inside the All Images screen, which ironically you cannot access right now if your getting the memory exhausted error. :D. But I'm working on at this moment.
