the paypal message that gets sent on purchase has only the image number — especially for multi-accounts, it should also include the caption, since it’s a hassle to trace by # only

What I don’t like about the theme is that you cannot set the size of the previews. I’m of the opinion that I wouldn’t buy an image I cannot view properly. 590×391 is tiny. Yes I know everyone is ‘scared to death’ that some one is going to steal your images. I’m not that easily frightened and it would be great to provide a way to set your own image preview size.

one approach is to show the image, with a transparent gif overlay:
http://cascoly.com/showjpg.asp?jpg=..maps/nypl-1404019-sample.jpg&caption=Sample of full sized map

if you rightclick to save you end up with nothing

of course some people can still find a way to capture the image, but if you’re not overly concerned, this would be a good option

I’d been considering a plugin that would do this for any image, but will wait to see what the new sym brings us

I’ve toyed with the 100% zoom feature, since many of my images have fine details that don’t show on the previews — what I’ve done for some is create separate samples at full size — http://cascoly.com/maps-antique.asp and I’m working on a way to do this more easily. a 100% zoom over portions would be great, — ebay does this for images attached to auctionbs

one major addition to batch editing would be ability to append specific text to a group of images

eg, captions for stock agencies need to be short, but our sym pages allow much more room — yoast suggests outbound links and images —

so I’ve added those on im ages like
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image/indian-rupee-international-currency

would be nice to be able to append that text to multiple images

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

when you move to and click on an image from a search, there’s a lag, then the preview is shown, another lag before it moves to the actual image page. this is confusing for those who expect a click to open the image file-

looks like generating the preview is the problem — if you move cursor to an image, the preview appears after a few seconds, and then, if you click on the image it goes right to the image page.

just to get everything in one place — here are the suggestions from the list I’d been maintaining:

batch
cidepix
13 Allow the “Append Text to Title:” section in the Symbiostock admin/batch editor work on a per image basis. Eg: You could append “- Stock Photo” to stock photos, and “- Stock Vector” to vectors, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
6

batch
semmick
44 show the image values. Not the default values. this is only possible if all images have the same custom value though.
6

batch
thp
70 batch editor still doesn’t seem to be able to set a license as the default license.
6

categories
cascoly
61 way to show items in main category that are not in any subcategory
6

collection
cascoly
63 automatically append link to individual images when collection created “This image is part of a collection”
6

page
semmick
42 Selected images need to be able to be toggled selected and deselected
6

pricing
jorodrigues
54 change pricing to use a pricelist rather current defaults
6

search
donland
23 The search return number should default to last used value, not 48.
6

theme
cascoly
48 need sample of fonts – rather than guess/save/look
6

video
crackerclips
64 ability to have video clip show up first + something to indicate thumbnails are videos
6

video
cascoly
65 add video/footage to focus list
6

cidepix
7 Add (perhaps in the paid plugin?) the ability for a couple of extra file sizes – XL, XXL, and make it so that file sizes only show up if the file meets the requirements for that size, which the author sets in admin
6

cidepix
10 Add Sort options to browsing pages (newest, oldest, most popular etc)
6

cidepix
27 download expiration
6

jsfoto
32 add a short text (in addition to hashtags) to a tweet in the batch editor of the premium plugin.
6

cidepix
47 sale stats by day, week, month, year?
6

klsbear
52 scrolling network option
6

JoAnnSnover
72 number of images per page in search results/category listings. Rather than changing code, how about a UI option (like for the text on the download/add to cart button
6

JoAnnSnover
73 Sort search results by Newest, Ranking (1 2 and 3) or Random
6

JoAnnSnover
75 incorporate the fixes to schema.org categories that were giving structured data errors in Google’s rich snippets tool? It’d be nice also to have the changes for establishing Google Authorship

google decided several years ago to ignore the meta keywords since they were being spammed too heavily, so adding them won’t improve SEO

files over 10Mb are sometimes throwing this error msg on justhost, even though max image is set to 50Mb — trying tot track it down

[cascolyBlocked]

images they’re referring to here are within your description – yoast doesn’t know about symbiostock images, which is why the sym-sitemap plugin is complementary

with a few images you can try to get all to go green, but with thousands, I just shoot for yellow for most and concentrate on a few images to green, along with all my pages

[cascolyBlocked]

for images you need to place a text widget on the image page or footer, then put the tracking code in that text widget

Great looking site! I’m slowly building a fridge magnet sideline — have had just a few ads on ebay & etsy so far
https://www.etsy.com/listing/187172139/custom-fridge-magnets-you-choose-the?

as more people find this approach, we might find a way to network across non-photo sites so people with interest in ‘dogs’ can find all the products available

[cascolyBlocked]

Not directly — you could edit the desc & prices for individual images, or just have a message in on of the CTA boxes that ELs are available

the pro plugin does let you have multiple licenses, but you may still need to negotiate for each one

[cascolyBlocked]

the pro plugin lets you have multiple licenses, including editorial — others have done it by modifying the code (but that goes away with any upgrade to the theme)

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1308&p=12063&hilit=editorial#p12063

working now — just had to reactivate the theme

[cascolyBlocked]

while growth in sites has slowed, total images continue to increase

http://cascoly.com/symbio/symbiostock-network-growth.asp

I had 2 new co-op signups yesterday, and 3 who’ve said they’d be joining shortly

the co-op sites share the domain symbiostock-network.com in the global search listings

Great that you took the plunge — Would you consider offering the fix to others for a small fee? or donation?
