General support topic for Aeva Media (Latest release: July 28, 2010)

[amcb10]

If I approve an image and then later try to unapprove or delete it I keep getting a message saying my session has timed out so it doesnt delete etc, any ideas?

[saks]

@saks> Just reload the page before selecting Check All and submitting. This is because your session ID is no longer valid. It happens for instance when you have a browser crash and the tab is reloaded. You lose your session ID, but the page is still cached with the previous one.

The problem with mass removal-moving remained.
It occurs in all browsers. Reload and relogin does not help

[saks]

 At refusal in approval of a photo and its removal the counter starts to consider in the opposite direction. Is it normal?

@slv> Replace line 797 with:

      if (!in_array($db_prefix . 'aeva_' . $name, $tables) && in_array($db_prefix . 'mgallery_' . $name, $tables))

Reupload db_aeva.php to your root folder and re-run it. Should fix it. Strange that there was a mgallery_media table in your database but no mgallery_fields... Are you sure you never installed SMG, including version 1.0? (The very old one!)

@saks> Okay, reproduced... This only happens in SMF1 (which is not my development platform, so I can only rely on other users to find bugs in it.)
I have no fix for now. Will look deeper later.
As for your layout problem, make sure style.css is correctly uploaded in your theme folder. Empty your cache, too.

Will post a silent re-release as soon as I fix that.

[Kindred]

one additional serial post from Saks before your post, Nao.

[Nao 尚]

@Kindred> Yeah, it showed up because I was replying the post again. Thanks for pointing it out, though

Okay, fix for mass delete in SMF1... Open Aeva.template.php, find:

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="' . $context['session_var'] . '" value="' . $context['session_id'] . '" />
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<input type="hidden" name="' . ($context['is_smf2'] ? $context['session_var'] : 'sc') . '" value="' . $context['session_id'] . '" />
Done
I'm not exactly sure why SMF1 requires a 'sc' in the $_POST, as opposed to a 'sesc' in the $_GET.

@saks> What do you mean, the counter stats considers in the opposite direction? Can you be more specific?

[Nao 尚]

Uh... Been looking more deeply into the admin area using SMF1... It's kinda awful. It's not THAT bad, but it's very far from my quality standards. Goes to show that making a mod compatible with both SMF1+Core and SMF2+Curve is not as easy as it sounds... :-/

Anyway. I also reproduced the problem with Eastern characters being turned into '' in the Welcome message when being in UTF mode. Good, good! This means I'll be able to fix it As soon as I have more time.

[Nao 尚]

That's because I disabled it.
Please read my posts.... :-/
If you want a demo, install SVN rev 154 on your site. (And make sure you unzip & rezip the tgz file on your computer, as always, if you don't want a painful crash.)
Then you can add ;rotate=90 to your item page URLs.

[Nao 尚]

Not too happy with the UTF issues. I managed to fix it by forcing an aeva_utf2entities call, but it's still not good.
What SEEMS to happen is, if you have your forum set to UTF *and* your database isn't in UTF itself. Then, UTF characters will be stored as question marks. I actually think that's the original reason why I made the whole utf2entities converter. So that it works everywhere. Problem is, the fact that it didn't work in the welcome box means that there are other places where I should apply the converter as well.

I don't have time to release a silent update, so you'll have to do with the SVN version if you want the fixes I'm afraid!
Install with the usual precautions (unzip + re-zip before uploading, and uninstall before reinstalling.)

SVN rev 157
! Fixed minor conversion issues in upgrader script. (db_aeva.php)
! Fixed Welcome message showing question marks when forum uses UTF and database is set to non-UTF (I think.) (Aeva-Admin.php)
! Mass delete/move/approve wouldn't work on SMF1. (Aeva.template.php)
* Minor layout improvements in admin area for SMF1 (Aeva.template.php)

[saks]

Please read my posts.... :-/

Oh! I am sorry! I have created the message when the expanded answer yet wasn't. And when I sent it, I saw that the new message has arrived, but my English hasn't given me possibility quickly to read it and to understand. Once again I am sorry! Was already very much late and I have decided to answer this message in the morning.

I slowly translate and answer on English language

I have demo version and test server by the local server.
Where me take SVN rev 154? 

[saks]

Okay, fix for mass delete in SMF1... Open Aeva.template.php, find:

Great! All has work and delete!

@saks> What do you mean, the counter stats considers in the opposite direction? Can you be more specific?

At removal by moderator of not confirmed photos the album counter starts to consider in the opposite direction.
For example - I have loaded one photo, and it have confirmed. Quantity of photos in album one. I have loaded the second photo, and it haven't confirmed and have removed, quantity of photos in album 0! Clearly?

Look at the screenshort:
(In album of 2 photos, and it is written that in him there are no items)

P.S. I use SMF1 because Tinyportal for SMF2 to me is yet accessible

P.P.S
In my opinion there is one more small problem. At viewing of photos the counter of viewings increases only when the photo page opens, and them look mostly through HightSlide. How it is possible to consider viewings through HigtSlide?

[Nao 尚]

Fixed in svn rev 157, see main topic.

[Nao 尚]

Modifications.english.php

Most mods put their language strings over there. Because the file is then merged internally with index.english.php and can thus be called on any page for free.

[Nao 尚]

http://smf-media.com
There's a SVN tab. Choose the Aeva option, then next to rev 154, choose Create, the page will reload, and next to rev 154, choose Download.
Decompress the file to your computer and zip it. Upload to your server. Uninstall Aeva Media, install rev 154, done.
Send your feedback! I can still re-integrate this feature if you find it good enough, but for now I'd rather not consider it (it is too flawed because of non-IE support.)

[saks]

Thank you very much! This night I will try to test this rev and I will necessarily answer!

[YogiBear]

It's with 1x, Nao.

Prob solved though by adding [ noembed] [ /noembed] (without the spaces) before and after the code.

@kcmartz> It's not my problem... As you said, it works fine on your test server. If it doesn't work on your live server, ask your host. As for the menu item -- you probably didn't install it correctly, or are using a custom theme and don't know how to deal with them.
<SNIP>

My test forum is on the same domain, server, everything, just a different directory: http://www.kcmartz.com/TestForum

on kcmartz.com, it does not...

[Kindred]

KC.... subdomain issues, maybe?

[amcb10]

Soory for being a noob but what does that mean, svn 157? looked at main topic but dont see any mention of session timeout. Currently running 1.0 Alpha 3.

Nevermind, found it.

Thankyou and please keep up the good work, awesome.

[Nao 尚]

Been a busy day... Did lots of changes, haven't committed much though. Still, interesting things were posted to the svn server. More interesting things will come tomorrow.

@saks> The Highslide thing is high on my to-do-list.
About the approval numbers: I wasn't aware of that. I just checked and indeed could reproduce some issues with the number of items in an album and in a member profile. I've fixed it, but I'll need more time to make sure nothing else is broken. I think at saw at some point, I removed 1 unapproved item, and the number of unapproved items went down from 3 to 1!

@kcmartz> What exactly doesn't work, already?
