Thats ok. The other day I was trying to figure out how to replace the main avatar image from the “S” logo. And I designed the stupid thing! “Oh yeah, its in user-setting!”
Better things on the way 😀
Glad some people knocked on my door! Yep – you should have an ajaxy and swift system. The cachign system and the ajax post-fetching system were both finished about the same time. Somewhere along the line the post-fetching stopped, and a 3 page thread happened.
I’ll get on this today and have an update available.
Also I’m making progress in other symbio-related things, but I don’t share like the old days. But at least you guys know this project is secretly growing underground like the mushrom colony it was meant to be. 😀
This was addressed in the earliest earliest versions of Symbiostock.
It should work like this:
Lets say you have 10 people on your network. 7 of them are sllloowwww.
3 should be initially on the page – the other 7 should dynamically load. You should see a set of loading gif animations ( the rotating dots ) and one by one results pop up. Those results in turn are cached for the next search, showing everything instantaneously.
Let me know if this is NOT happening. I’ll see about getting it fixed ASAP.
Good job!
As another test try uploading smaller sizes and progressively uploading larger versions. If you find the smaller ones work, then you might have found a memory limitation.
If this and your other calls to support don’t work I might be able to log into your site with an admin account you make for me and check it out.
If you get the small size but not the large size, this is almost always the watermark not being fetched properly. The best way to check that (if you didn’t already) is to simply paste your watermark url into the browser. You should see the image, not the page the image was taken from. (And definitely not a 404 page 😕

I have been taking baby steps with Symbio at this stage.
I uploaded Word Press and it was all systems go. I used the New Media Uploader and was able to use the Drag and Drop Flash Uploaader and I was also able to use the Browser Uploader, Media is clearly visible in their respective pages. Different sizes are viewable in the File Manager.
I then installed Symbiostock theme and the Dragonfly child theme.
Ok – so far so good.

Thats a very “blanket” error code, and default. Actually this is probably a folder “permissions” problem like your other thread. What is happening is your browser contacts a .php file to run the uploader. This is most likely being blocked. So the default error message comes up, which you’ve seen.
@wendy wrote:It then goes to a browser uploader … this then fails and the error says IOError #2038
Probably same problem.

Smart work-around!
@wendy wrote:The images appear in the processing area.
It tells me that I am using GD enabled (even though my web host says that Imagemagick can be used)
When the image is processed a minipc is generated and the large image can be found in the rf folder. The other sizes do not exist.
There are two folders – one located in wp-content and the other located at the top / root of your site. Which one is not filling up? Sounds once again like that permissions issue you seem to keep having.
@wendy wrote:I installed the php.ini file into my root directory (where WP is) with the settings that were suggested. I then took out the imagick line in case that was causing issues.
I uploaded my own watermark image and put the url to that in the settings (522 x 522 png)
So far nothing helps.
I would be grateful for any ideas 🙂
Almost certainly there is some fishy stuff going on with permissions and possibly file writing functions being repressed.
Also if you have imagick.so (I think) in your php.ini that should be sufficient in most circumstances. But it does appear your in a very unique environment.
I’ve been having one or two a day — though some days missed. I have *lots* of images which I auto-titled and uploaded without SEO considerations, so today I’m starting a regimine of giving a few hours a day to SEO improvements.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised in a few months. 😉
This might explain why its a hosting-specific issue. Forgive me if this might seem overwhelming … its for future eyes 😯
Following the path of the error …
wp-adminincludesfile.php on line 869We are brought to this file:
/**
* Functions for reading, writing, modifying, and deleting files on the file system.
* Includes functionality for theme-specific files as well as operations for uploading,
* archiving, and rendering output when necessary.
*

*/
Then we are brought to this function (line 869)
/**

* This function will include the chosen transport and attempt connecting.

function WP_Filesystem( $args = false, $context = false ) {
global $wp_filesystem;
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-base.php');
$method = get_filesystem_method($args, $context);
if ( ! $method )
return false;
if ( ! class_exists("WP_Filesystem_$method") ) {
$abstraction_file = apply_filters('filesystem_method_file', ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-' . $method . '.php', $method);

if ( is_wp_error($wp_filesystem->errors) && $wp_filesystem->errors->get_error_code() )
return false;
if ( !$wp_filesystem->connect() )
return false; //There was an error connecting to the server.
// Set the permission constants if not already set.
if ( ! defined('FS_CHMOD_DIR') )
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( fileperms( ABSPATH ) & 0777 | 0755 ) );
if ( ! defined('FS_CHMOD_FILE') )
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( fileperms( ABSPATH . 'index.php' ) & 0777 | 0644 ) );
return true;
}Particularly these lines (in vicinity of 869)
// Set the permission constants if not already set.
if ( ! defined('FS_CHMOD_DIR') )
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( fileperms( ABSPATH ) & 0777 | 0755 ) );
if ( ! defined('FS_CHMOD_FILE') )
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( fileperms( ABSPATH . 'index.php' ) & 0777 | 0644 ) );
So what we are seeing here is that wordpress is having a permissions issue – this is related to the hosting environment. Its possible this host is a little too strict (or even misconfigured) with permissions.
This error is very likely coming from the installer which creates some directories for the uploader and other directories, and installs some default plugins.
If you email your host this answer you might make some progress. (of course I could be wrong)
researching now …
That is a first for me.
Disable all plugins except the most basic Symbiostock ones.
Does the error still come up? That is saying something in the administration screens (not the front end of the site) could be tripping it up.
Do you know what version of PHP you are using?
Hey guys I took note of some things on this thread and will keep them in mind for the new Symbiostock version.
The seamless way to do this is to transfer the database and files directly over. Then you update the database in a few areas to reflect the new site.

I’ll put it on the to-do list. After I’m done the plugin I’m working on now and a few other details, perhaps I’ll be able to tap Steve’s experienced game-production mind to create a fun Symbiostock twitter promotion app that performs the same functions this twitter game has.
I’d find that refreshing 😀
