0 views 0 sales - bug?

hi forum,
I was looking around in illustrations and photos and noticed that all pics and illus show "0 sales 0 views" .
I tried out some different keywords and the results were sorted by "number of sales"...always the same result: "0 sales 0 views". Is this a bug or am I missing s.th. here??

When I´m looking in category "music" everything seems ok.

ciao,

The reason for 0 sale/views in Illustrations/photos is that portion of the site isn't open yet.

Thanks!

All photos and illustrations have been sourced from another agency to quickly build a commercially viable photos and illustrations library, and have been bulk uploaded to the P5 system. Royalties from photos and illustration sales are paid to the artists through the supplying agency rather than by P5 directly to the artist. As the data isn't visible the sales and views must be logged and/or presented in a different way to native P5 clips.

At some point P5 will allow P5 artists to submit their own photos and illustrations through the P5 system, and royalties on those items will be paid by P5 direct to the artist in the normal way.

If you want to see what photos and illustrations have sold, use the modifier in the search string: salegt:0

Change the digit to see the more popular photos and illustrations. This shows sales data is attached to the items, but is not easily visible.
