Congradulations on the wordpress milestone! Also nice site and nice work. Glad to welcome you.
Great looking work and wonderfully executed site! Glad to have you.
Co-ops will have their own advantages mostly which cater to the customer. Mostly they will exist for those incapable of running their own site.
Anyway – a new happy thought –
I managed to crack Adobe sRGB. I’ve been watermarking Joanne’s poor cat all day. Finally We’ve gotten a nice un-altered, true color watermarked preview. Even better – its done within the constraints of imagick.

First sale!!!
10$ for a vector!
Didn’t know Paypal takes over 10% of the sale on fees…FREEKING AWESOME!
Thanks for the feedback guys. Regardless its going to install as a stand-alone site unless someone actually sets up a multi-site environment.
Justin is an exceptional person. Also a good friend 😀

I usually prefer not to fix things unless they are broken 🙂 so I am stuck with v. 3.3.2
but progress and moving forward is also a must..
is there anything important we need to keep in mind when updating from 3.3.2 to 3.3.4?
haven’t read the forums in a while and I don’t want to mess things up just because I didn’t update properly 🙂
I’d sit pretty for now. The new version is literally a new version. Its going to go through testing extensively and then before conversion it will have a perfected “converter” script… before you get your new site running on it, you’d have plenty of time to see it in action.
Here’s another random thought to break the awkward silence –
This version of Symbiostock literally runs around the idea of the “hub” sites.
So…you already have a version of Symbiostock. Would you submit your stuff (in addition) to a co-op site? Such as cascoly’s?
I’m pretty sure Mac wanted to copyright the rectangle too.

I guess this means its a go. Thanks guys. We’ll include it by default. Thats a huge advantage.
Are these “happy update” announcements making people happy?

More progress! So far so good. I don’t have much to report than the base-product system is almost done.
Honestly I hope all of this work is good for at least 5 years, can be expanded on easily, etc, and becomes one of the standard downloadable product cart options that wordpressers use.
I figured I’d toss in a little update – development level stuff, but still fun to know –
I’m well along on the “product” system. Unlike the former version (which everyone is using) every product ends up being a self-contained “object”.
An object can be a variable, function, or data structure. In the object-oriented programming paradigm, “object” refers to a particular instance of a class where the object can be a combination of variables, functions, and data structures.
Object (computer science) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_(computer_science)
WikipediaIts highly abstracted so that it can be extended to sell any sort of product and allow any sort of delivery.
The developer documentation is also coming out wonderful, and I’m simultaneously writing it in such a way that most average “hackers” (aren’t we all?) can find their way easily through the documentation to hack away and even create new features.
Unlike the former system which relies on a plugin such as “wp super cache” this is going to write it’s own objects to disk in the form of a json file, which will be a mirror image of the actual product. So when a product is delivered it will first check the json cache, and if it is there it will utilize it — otherwise it will do a database fetch.
What this means with all considered is lightning fast pages independent of performance plugins.

Still blurry if I view just the image, or if I right click and download it, then view it in a graphics program, still blurry. Got an idea for a work-around?
I think the default workaround for most issues will be the improved system in the making, which uses improved image processing.

I’ve noticed that on some of my images, and most noticeably on this one
http://scenicoregon.com/webpics2/image/mermaids-at-rockaway-beach/
that the automatic image preview creates a blurry preview. To get an idea of how sharp this image really is, just look at my header image– I use a portion of the same image in that, and it is nice and sharp. It makes it harder to sell images if the preview is blurry– any way to fix that?If you right click the product preview and view it by itself in the browser, does it still show as blury? If so it might be your browser resizing it.
I wouldn’t worry about it. Soon Symbio is going through a huge conversion and those things will be history. I think Joanne had an issue like you once.
