Hi rpuddle

Sorry I’ve been tied up with a tonne of family things I have to take care of.

I will email you now.

Hi,

Regarding the zero price for the physical variation – currently you can add a zero price for digital variation but not physical. I will see what I can do to add the same for physical.

How to put a checkbox in the basket if the customer wants a crop on his photo?

I’m not fully understanding your question. Can you please provide more information?

[Peter]

Hi Bob,

Solution 1:

You could create an album for each year.

Inside each album you could create a gallery for each day and name the gallery as a date string, eg, May-1-2018.

This will yield a large listing of galleries so it might be a bit too bulky for viewing.

Solution 2:

Alternatively, you could further sort the albums by months which might make your gallery groupings more neater and more ordered.

For example, you create an album for each month and name the album such that people know the year as well as the month – eg, May2018

Inside the album called “May2018” you will have 31 galleries and you could name each as May-1-2018, May-2-2018, …… etc

This solution makes it a bit easier to view the galleries because the albums are smaller.

Hi,

I made a test purchase which was somewhat successful but there is one thing I observed related to your paypal and photo seller configuration which you will need to correct.

I noticed that whilst in the paypal screen I was never automatically redirected back to your site. This means your configuration is not quite right.

you are using the sandbox for now you will need set the following Paypal configuration in your sandbox seller account.

When you switch to live you will need to make sure you do the same configuration for the live paypal seller account. (note: the PDT and email will probably be different when you are entering them in the photo seller settings)

================================

Log into your paypal seller account and check the following settings:

1) “Auto Return” (this should be enabled)

2) “Payment Data Transfer” (this should be enabled)

3) “Instant Payment Notification (IPN)” (this should be enabled).

4) UTF-8 formatting enabled as per https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/some-characters-and-text-not-recognizable-in-the-notification-email

Photo seller side:

1) In Payment Gateway Settings make sure you have entered your paypal email and also the correct PDT identity token.

================================

Hi Dave,

The log you presented looks like it is coming from the photo seller log file. This at least confirms that one of the functions which is doing the photo resizing is failing.

Did you also ask your host provider to help you locate the PHP error log file which is the general log file for your installation? (that would provide any proof that the failure is due to memory exhaustion)

According to the log you are trying to use the logo watermark feature. Have you tried using the standard “text” watermarking to see if the whole gallery is successfully watermarked without failures?

Note: the processing of photo files requires a fair amount of server resources and memory and generally shared hosting plans will struggle with this. A VPS or higher plan would serve you better.

[Peter]

Hi,

Are you on a “shared” hosting environment?

If so, even though you think you’ve increased the memory_limit the server might be throttling your memory.

Can you please check your PHP server error_log file or equivalent?

If you find any logs related to this action please let us know.

[Peter]

Hi,

Regarding the paypal issue, can you please set up a test gallery with a price of $0.01 and include the link and I will try a test purchase.

The watermarking feature would definitely be of interest. I wonder if you could send me an email regarding it?

Ok. I will send you an email later today or tomorrow.

[Peter]

Are you trying to pay with the same paypal account which you have configured to be the “seller”?

can you guys let me know if there are any plans afoot to implement the option to watermark thumbnails

As a feature, watermarking thumbnails is not in the official plans.

Having said that, if you are interested I can do a custom job for you. (Just let me know and I can send you an email to discuss further)

[Peter]

I don’t recommend changing core plugin code.

At this stage I’m still thinking whether I should and how best to add this because it is not something widely requested.

[Peter]

Hi,

Yes there is a filter you can use.

Put the following in your theme’s functions.php

add_filter("wpps_menu_capability", "wpps_change_mgmt_permissions", 10, 1);

function wpps_change_mgmt_permissions($permission){

return "publish_pages";

}

[Peter]

What happens when you upload a photo from the gallery settings?

[Peter]

I’ve sent you an email.

[Peter]

Can you please provide more info?

Do you have tax and/or shipping enabled in the price list?

[Peter]

Hi Rick,

Ok that makes sense.

[Peter]

I still get a “copyright” watermark on the uploaded images

If you don’t want any watermark on the photo delete the text “copyright” in the “watermark text” field of the settings.
