Small update - I'm down to just a few small details regarding the search fields/forms, paypal ipn, and maybe some css on a few pages.

I've also deployed it online to see if it works "Out of the box" right away, and it does!

Gonna test the networking abilities on a few of my own test sites, and once thats done I'll release it.

We're looking forward to being able to try out a test site. Great work, Leo!

Has anyone come up with good ideas on RF license agreements yet? I've been digging on the Web, but haven't come up with anything very generic. Particularly with networks of sites, some agreement would be good on repro limits, whether to require ELs, and the like. Also, there's always the problem of whose law to should be used to interpret the agreement. Has anyone been making progress on this?

RM is less of a problem, especially if we use PLUS licensing, as the conditions are spelled out in detail.

I'm very happy to hear about that prompt. I truly hope someone who's fairly experienced in this area can make a few defaults for people to use. I could even set it up to >insert name< or >insert copyright notice< or >insert site name / URL < dynamically. I just need a solid template. I simply can't take it upon myself to make a default license.

Of course I will happily release it without a default license! Its just going to slow down lots of people.

Update: Search functionality works great. You can toggle between the image search and typical blog search. It works on the default wordpress search page and the special taxonomy page, which also delivers xml results.

Wow...getting close!

I have to admit Kona, every time I see you have posted I am on the edge of my seat...

I really hope to be done with this soon. I have to detour to a customer. Today I'm going to try to crack out a mammoth amount of work.

One thing I must say is the initial release will be cool, but the first thing your going to realize is that you want more features (especially to modify appearance) and the second thing your going to realize is there are still bugs I haven't found.

I *really* hope to be done with this within a few days if possible.

Sweet. I'll have to set up a clean local Wordpress install to test it out.

Update: New Wordpress installed on my localhost. Ready for testing.

If you're running on a Windows machine, go to http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and install the WAMP server. This gives you a local Web server to test on, not normally accessible from outside your home network. You can install Wordpress from http://wordpress.org and you're ready to go.

If you're using a Mac, then I believe http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html will do the same for you.

Thanks. Yes. This is what I was doing. I used MAMP. Here's the Wordpress instructions:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

It's basically creating a new database, modifying a php file, and running the install.

I used Wamp in the past when I was learning Drupal, but now Bitnami seems to be a better option for beginners. You just need to download bitnami with the Wordpress stack and the installation couldn't be simpler:
http://bitnami.org/stacks
It's basically a one click installation of Wordpress (or other CMS with other stacks) on your local machine.

Hey guys! We got some fledgling developers here?

I'm really happy to hear your going to be trying it on your machines. Be mindful though the network feature only works on actual servers.

If you want to help with some development, here's some other things you can look into:

https://getfirebug.com/ - for testing on your browser.

http://codex.wordpress.org/ - since Symbiostock is a wordpress theme, the codex is your bible.

edit - you can easily see the majority of the theme operating on localhost, even the image management/processing

Lizard · « **Reply #237 on:** March 01, 2013, 21:40 »

I was "rehabilitating" from anything connected with stock for quite a while , I come back and there
couldn't be something more interesting to see than this.

It sounds and what i run into on previous pages it also looks great

Pilens · « **Reply #238 on:** March 01, 2013, 23:44 »

Hey, thanks guys! I am ready to go now

- Yeah, sure, I am not surprised that the network feature doesn't work on a localhost server. I guess testing the network functions only makes sense after everything else is set up and running properly, anyway.
Don't want to rush you, Leo, but when can we start???

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #239 on:** March 01, 2013, 23:48 »

I think we're down to only a few days now. I'm working full days on this.

I am just excited and teasing you, Leo. Wouldn't mind at all if you took a weekend off

Amanda_K · « **Reply #242 on:** March 02, 2013, 02:48 »

Leo relax for at least a day!

I have some graphics to get to you, of course the week I volunteer to help I get swamped by clients

I'm new here so I could'n give a hand until now..
If somebody needs some help how to install WP drop me a PM.

Congratulations for the project!

Chico · « **Reply #244 on:** March 02, 2013, 14:44 »

I love to help, but my skills are only related to illustrator, photoshop and similar stuff.

Lots of thanks to Leo, of course.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #245 on:** March 02, 2013, 16:11 »

Just due to the general abilities of this crowd I'm thinking the majority of help will be on visual/design stuff, which is of high value.

MFCA · « **Reply #246 on:** March 02, 2013, 17:37 »

I'm new to stock photo and my portfolio is really small compared to fantastic people over here. But if you need content count on me (PHP is no my thing). Plus I can help you with translation to Portuguese if that helps. PM me any text you need translated. Best regards and good luck with the project.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #247 on:** March 02, 2013, 19:43 »

Thank you MFCA, will do! Eventually translation in a few languages will be needed, but thats far beyond me now. Actually the one helping me bug-hunt has some language/translate ability too as it relates to software.

Here is another little video of the login-logout in action as well as the finished local search. The customer will not necessarily find their way to the admin area (I'm still working on it) but here is everything in action.

Please remember that the front-end will be needing work well into our public testing. But the functionality is there and mostly what I'm focusing on.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #249 on:** March 02, 2013, 19:53 »

...and here is the Network management panel, which will end up like your own little admin-screen facebook, watching updates and new images from around your network. Its going to be a huge focus as symbiostock keeps getting developed. Here's the rock-bottom-basics:
