If WPML works with WooCommerce, which I’m assuming it does, you should be good to go with Symbiostock and Express as well. We use a slightly simpler approach to localization – just go to your settings and you will see a localization heading. There you can customize the few terms that we have control over.
If a term is not listed there, we probably don’t have control over it and it is strictly WooCommerce and WP.
We have another member who has drastically altered Symbiostock to work with multiple contributors, but that is not a supported function of the plugin and I can’t advise on it. I also can’t advise as to whether it will work with plugins that offer this functionality. If you are integrating it yourself and want specific help, you’ll need to submit a support request.
2) WP > Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most
For those interested, this mechanism is going very well and we’ve had a number of support requests already, all satisfied as requested. Thanks to everyone who has used the system so far, and thanks to all future users who use it as well. It makes dealing with support much more streamlined.
You can only parse JPEGs with GD – PNG will not work without Imagick, nor will vectors. TIFF may, work, but is unsupported. As for degradation, it should not degrade at all with GD or Imagick (GD is set to output at 100% quality). If it is indeed degrading, it is likely server related.
As per the latest version of Symbiostock, it does not convert it to JPEG if it is a PNG – it returns the same original format. The only exception to this is vectors which are returned as JPEGs if resized. If you want it to be only JPEG, you’d have to alter the function accordingly.
That’s a good idea – we’ll throw in some digits there to differentiate each download from each other. Thanks for the suggestion.
Prefix just replaces the standard ‘download’ filename when a file is downloaded. The original filename is not provided to the customer. If you want this functionality, you would have to send us a support request or code it yourself.
DPI/PPI does not exist when it comes to digital files; there is only resolution. JPEGs are converted to certain dimensions when translated into DPI for print.
So, for example, a 1000×1000 JPEG can be 500DPI at 2×2 inches. It can also be approximately 300DPI at 3×3 inches. It can also be approximately 72 DPI at 14×14 inches.
So Symbiostock correctly allows you to customize the resolution provided. If you want to let customers know what print length that is at a specific DPI, you would have to code this up for your front end or send us a support request.
Thanks for the question.
1) Will look into this.
2) Not possible – the bulk edit system is controlled by WordPress and our customization of it is already pretty much maxed out. Being able to bulk edit every product at once, individually, would involve rewriting WordPress itself.
3) See other post
4) Again, theme related – Symbiostock does not alter the front end.
5) Titles prioritize metadata – without metadata, the full file name is used so files can be back referenced perfectly. This is not likely to change in the future. If you would like this customized, you can code it up yourself or send us a support request.
Thanks for the suggestions!
You would have to code this up for your theme or send us a support request to have it customized. We try to keep Symbiostock out of the front end as much as possible so it is compatible with as many themes as possible.
As the documentation for the function used says that it reads based on system filetime, I can only assume it may vary depending on your actual server. If you want to really specify the order, you will have to program a filtering function that will re-order the way they are processed.
You most likely can’t have ‘photography’ as the category base, product category base, and main shop page. The way WP probably works is more restrictive than that and you would have to pick a different string for each entry. Perhaps a variation, such as photographs, or photograph. I could be wrong, of course, as this has nothing to do with WooCommerce or Symbiostock – it is related to WP itself.
Hey Aitor – it adds them according to their upload date, not alphabetically. In most cases, that is the desirable function. If you would like to have them sorted alphabetically, you can send us a support request and we can add a custom function for you to sort it alphabetically. Alternatively you can upload your files, one by one, alphabetically.
If there is no metadata title found, it relays the exact filename as the title. This is done so that people can identify the uploaded file easier, and is not likely to change in the future.
If you want to manually change this, you would have to go into the tools-ftp file and alter it appropriately. As the title can be stored both in metadata as the filename automatically, and sometimes not, it isn’t a one line change. You can submit a support request if you’d like us to do it.
Otherwise you could globally alter the title used to create the product, whether it is from metadata or not, by changing the $title variable before this line:
$post_id = ss_create_product($title,$description,$keywords,$fileloc);
in tools-ftp.php
tools-ftp.php
Change:
if ((time() – filemtime($fileloc)) < 45) continue;
to
//if ((time() – filemtime($fileloc)) < 45) continue;
Wow, that’s such a fantastic solution. Good work!
