Hi Redneck, Hi Robin,

since I got fed up with the missing imagick on 1&1 I followed Redneck´s suggestion regarding all-inkl.com and gave them a test drive. So far all works fine (thanks a lot Redneck for this hint!), just the fact that they do not support exec functions makes me worry: Whilst I do not really need image metadata to be updated upon WordPress edits, I wonder if this missing feature has other impacts in the future and if then there will be a work around such as the Addhandler code that they promote here: http://all-inkl.com/wichtig/faq/#exec – in which folder(s) would I need to place that .htaccess file?

Thanks for your support, cheers, Frank

Hi Robin,

thanks for your extensive reply! An alternative solution would indeed be great.

I am afraid my programming skills will by far not be sufficient for setting up this testing environment. The only hint I can give through my research the last days is that TYPO3 seems to have the option for the user to define the path to his Image Magick folder, maybe this might already be sufficient for Symbiostock as well, don´t know if TYPO3 then used the command line or the wrapper…

GD currently seems not to process my images, however today it seems it was able to process a rather small one successfully. Need to further test these options I guess..

Hi Redneck,

sorry if I was unclear: Migration of the existing site worked however the import of new photos won´t due to the lack of Image Magick – GD won´t work with my image due to their large sizes probably.

THanks for your hosting recommendation, will need to see how I continue…

Hi Robin, Appearance-> Widgets was my first guess as well and I tried before, however could not find any area that might make sense – Home Widget Area was the only one I could imagine but after dragging the widget there, nothing happened. For implementing the short code, I guess I need to access the pages sourcecode in the editor – which I wanted to avoid hence I went for the Express theme. Any plans to implement the Symzio functionality in the template one day?

Stupid question (maybe) – how do I implement the symzio widget using Symbiostock Express 1.06 ?

Thanks, cheers, Frank

Gosh, do I feel stupid now! 🙂 Thanks for your hint, Robin, works  – of course – perfect… 🙂

Thanks Robin! 🙂 However I found one more topic: On the iPAD the Search function is not displayed, neither on the demo shop nor on any other shop I found. It works fine on the iPhone but not on the iPad. In case you should not have one at hand here are the screens:

 

 

Is there any easy solution to this?

Hi Dawn,

thanks for your kind words and the great explanation regarding 1.) – I followed your instructions and all worked well, great to also have categories in the shop overview! Hope to see 2 and 3 soon as well, good luck for that! Regarding the filter in combination with infinite scroll I am currently testing but did not encounter any severe situations so far… Cheers, Frank
