    Can you explain a little more about stripping metadata before sending the download link to customer. Can it be programmed in symbiostock, or is there is already there?

    As far as I understand, Symbiostock creates a random dynamic link after resizing the image as per license and keep it in separate download area for security purpose (in an event of hack the main database remains untouched). Can you explain how we can strip the metadata in the resize image but not from the main database image and still achieve the security. I may sound completely idiotic here, as this is one of many parts that I don’t understand. I am also not a programmer/developer, but just like to tinker.

    If you can provide some solution, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance…

    First things first, the preview and Syzmio looks great. Second, I hope that video functionality eventually find its way to Symbiostock plugin, as user like me despite of all their willingness cannot be plus users as I have explained earlier – what I am trying to do.

    Also, I understand, but I am trying to connect to photographers, who cannot have their own symbiostock website may be due to low volumes or some other reason. Lastly, I mull that option of getting everything in meta and then upload but discounted because of two reason;

    first- the curator if find the image to be good but the description not what it needs has to rewrite the meta after modifying/editing the earlier written.

    second- more often than not, customer prefer unaltered/untouched image (that is reason why even after cron job I am not writing categories and other data to file but in database).

    Anyway, shall workout something and eagerly awaiting for Version 2.

    Well, may work but not exactly what I am hoping for. I am actually trying to give fellow photographers in particular locality a stock photography market option. Where once approved as vendor/contributor they add photos with custom title, categories (pre curated list – they just have to select few), and custom tags and description. Which when comes to Site Curator (approver), he can approve or modify. However, currently the details gets lost post cron job and so also the detail that who uploaded the file (vendor/contributor name).

    The only way I can do this, with the current setup is giving him a secure ftp client for upload along with excel form to create a CSV file for above details, which post cron job, curator has to manually update (each image one by one). If somehow, based on upload these details can be passed, then curator only has to give glance to details and publish.

    You can say, I am trying to mimic big stock website with wordpress for small community.

    BTW, do we have a preview of Symbiostock 2.0 and any likely release date for the same.

    Hi Robin,

    Thanks for your prompt response. I was very much coming to the same point. Actually I was trying to play with symbiostock to convert it into marketplace for small photographers who cannot make their own site or go to big agency which give only a fraction of sale.  I combined symbiostock with wc vendor to make contributor model, but if the data is not getting passed on to system post cron job, then it becomes a little difficult to identify the contributor and the data. Also manual entry post cron job becomes tedious as well.

    Any suggestion or solution that comes to your mind.

    If you like I can show you a rough demo of site that I am trying to build.
