I just ran a test on the most recent version of Symbiostock and it worked fine on my end on my server – once I get your login info I can test it on your server.
Hi there,
Can you PM me your login info? I’ll take a look.
You are quite astute Henri – you’ve caught many little things here and there that were minor oversights, and it’s been very helpful. I’m going to do as you suggested and add a cleanup function that will purge the old filenames.
I’ll probably add a cleanup function that can be run periodically to remove all extraneous files like these.
Most definitely not. The goal, from the start, is to minimize your work.
The only thing that may become relevant in the future is the ‘rating’ tag, which will become important once people with more racy images want to syndicate.
I’m modeling pretty much everything off Shutterstock since they are the market leader. I may tweak certain things here and there, but other than that I’ll probably stay tight lipped about the actual algorithm so people can’t game it (or at least, to minimize gaming it).
Therefore, titles that are too long will get truncated, descriptions that are too long will get truncated, and too many tags will get truncated. As for tags, I’m following the SS limit of 50 for now. However, all this is going to change as I get a chance to see how the results are panning out, and how the relevancy is working.
By truncated, that means that it will only register a limited length of the title to a certain limit, as with descriptions. However, there is no priority order, so it doesn’t matter if a keyword is first or last.
It’s on our list, but there is only so much we can do. I need to work on my own site at some point as well, and with the release of Symbiostock 2.0 I am trying to ramp down the amount of plugin production there is. I may create a paid support system at some point so that people who need custom work or specific assistance can get dedicated help from someone in the Symbiostock team.
Edit: The title and description should already be imported into WooCommerce by Symbiostock. It imports the ‘title’, ‘headline’ and ‘description’ EXIF fields, among others.
Hi Nikd,
Read this doc:
http://www.symbiostock.org/docs/symbiostock-importerexporter/
And follow the link provided to download the Importer/Exporter. Remember to do a test run before going through the whole site to ensure you have everything running as expected. If you need assistance, let me know.
Ah, yes, that will trigger it too. 🙂 Thanks for letting me know.
PS: Actually, I don’t know if that will trigger it unless it is in the WooCommerce settings. Regardless, in my tests there is always some reason it gets triggered. No worries.
It’s a WooCommerce extension, so I don’t want to pirate the code by bundling it with Symbiostock:

(Even though it is open source)
Hmm, okay – it’s re-doing your thumbnails regardless. Why, I can’t quite say.
To change your processor load just go to Symbiostock > Settings > Max Processor Load
Hey Joel – looks like you changed the watermark, or the watermark percentage. As a result it is first re-doing all your thumbnails, then it will get to the new images. Do you have the processor running on a cron job? If so, looks like you have plenty of memory on your machine. I suggest you increase your processor load to 10 so it gets through them quicker.
Edit: I will reverse the order the processor does stuff, actually. I will have it re-do thumbnails after it adds new images. I’ll add this in the next release. For now, I’ve manually changed it on your side.
Hi Monica,
It all depends – sometimes it just takes time because we are swamped – at other times we are waiting to see the types of images you will be including in the network. Sometimes people apply before their stores / images are online, and we can’t approve you at that point because we need to see the types of media you will be submitting.
I’ve just approved your application, so you should be good to go.
Send me your login info via PM joel – I’ll take a look.
No worries – glad to see you figured it out!
