Robin, I am currently running Symbiostock Express ver2.0.1. How to I go about upgrading to the latest version. Geraint
Robin, Has there been any update on when the network is likely to be restored? Geraint
Robin, it should work out ok. I am conscious that the sites I am using are slightly out of synch with the norm. Following our conversations last night I produced two user look up pages using page builder and custom menus. These were not too time consuming to set up and because they are menus based on product tag I will be able to easily maintain them. It helped me identify where there was some rogue data items due to finger trouble which was a good thing. It also showed that there are some product tags which are no longer tied to an image. I am not sure if they remain when an image is deleted or not. Anyway the result looks fine and also provides some good functionality for the end use. Thank you once more for your conscientious approach to the problem and I am looking to 2.0 on what is already an excellent product. Geraint
Robin, it sounds as if bundled product would work if you can bundle together by product tag. I am happy to wait for this functionality before doing any further work. Thank you for looking in to it. Geraint
Robin, it is a valid point and would be frustrating for end users. I have been looking at some possible options. The functionality that I envisage is the family member of a player, friend etc wanting to look at all of the images of their chosen player. As all the keywords are know, i.e. they exist as a product tag would it be possible to generate a page as a look up table. i.e they go to the page look for the name to see if any images exist and if the name is there click on it and that would pull down all the images in the library. Looking on the web a couple of people seem to have written .php files that would list all product tags and make them clickable but I am not skilled enough to know how easy or even practical solution this would be. If not then I would stay with the requirement that they would have to type in the correct keyword (which is usually the name most people know the player by anyway). I have done a smaller version of what I am proposing which is accessed via the footer menu. If you click of The Photographers link the page lists all the photographers who have contributed and if you click on their name you get all of their images from a Product Tag search. Geraint
Robin, as ever thanks for a quick response. It looks as if the functionality is there from the work you have already done because when I go in to an image page all the keywords displayed are kickable and give the desired result. What I would be looking for is for the keyword to be inputed and then to behave as if it has been clicked from a product page. I hope that makes sense. If you wish to see for yourself feel free to go to the site http://www.rnru.co.uk and select the search from the primary menu. If you type in Gaz Fairbairn you get a selection of images from where he is both mentioned in the description and also as a Keyword (Product Tag). The first image in the selection is actually Gaz. If you select it and klick on Gaz Fairbairn as the keyword the results returned are only the five images of Gaz where his name appears as a Product Tag. That said I am getting good feedback about the site from the client so thank you. Geraint
Dawn, thank you for a far more elegant way of amending the topper menu than I managed. Is there something similar to amend the primary menu? Geraint
Robin, as ever thanks for the prompt reply and will wait until Dawn comes back and then possibly speak with Henri. I am happy using child themes but would still face the problem of finding/following the bit of code that needs amending. I am getting better at using the code inspector but still not an area that I would say I am proficient in.
Ok I give up and have reached the limit of my meagre programming. I am now wishing to amend some of the attributes on the primary menu. I think it is called nav-main but is far more complicated than the topper menu. I have put a couple of social icons in this menu and wish to reduce the wrapper they appear in so that the spacing of the menu looks better. Again I would image to do this via custom css but am struggling to find any code that does what I am looking for. The menu can be seen on the site at http://www.tjfrog.co.uk. Any help gratefully received.
I think I’ve solved my problem. Took some code from ssexpress.css and placed that in the Custom CSS area and amended it. A little trial an error to see what did what allowed me to get the result I was looking for.
Thanks you very much for such a speedy response.
Thank you. Having added user using described method and all working.
With such an approach then they have to also register for a Symbiostock domain name when all I am looking for is to have more registered users on the existing domain name so that there can be more than one login to do the administration. Or am I missing something? Can you become a Symbiostock registered user without having to register a Symbiostock domain name.
A mighty fine bear it is too. I will try again with images freshly downloaded incase there was a glitch somewhere. Thank you for the prompt reply.
