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

[Nibogo]

I am running smf 2.0 in the default them with your mod and simpleportal.

Can you create a block that will pull random gallery stuff? can anyone?

Thanks!

Create a php block with this content:

Code Select Expand

global $sourcedir;

   loadLanguage('Aeva');
   require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php'); 

   echo '<div id="aeva_pics" style="width: 100%;" overflow="visible">
         <div align="center">'. aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems(0, 5, 'RAND()'), true, '', 0). '</div>
      </div>';

Replace 5 with the amount of files that you want to show

Thank you! That's it. This is a random block right? So it will show everything that is in gallery randomly?

If you have a problem with my site and how I run it, there's no need to come complain about it here, you know... I'm still the same guy who's "running" both places.

And it's not my fault if you don't know a thing about installing buttons in custom themes.

I'm fairly confident that I have the "menu button" thing under control. I've been bouncing around under the hood of SMF since the early 1.x versions.

* Custom variation of the Curve theme... using the default menus
with rounded corners on headers & frames using only CSS (no images).

I posted my request for help here as I did not see any immediate or productive responses coming from the official Avea site... based on the responses I did see to requests for help there. That does not mean your efforts are not appreciated.  But I don't have the luxury of long delays  or "reinstall SMF" as the fall-back solution to issues.

The better part of a  week has gone by and you are responding now. Thank you. But I have long since removed Avea Media  and replaced it with another gallery add-on which, unfortunately, is not as full featured as yours... but it installed without having to change collations in the database and has run smoothly since installed.


* Avea Media did not un-install properly and trashed some files on the way out. (SMF 2.0 RC2 w/ only a download and portal mod installed). So I did have to re-install after-all.  Fortunately, it was on a test site... not the production site.

Well, your theme is buggy if you're using SMF2. Or you "forgot" to enable Aeva Media in your permissions.

I posted my request for help here as I did not see any immediate or productive responses coming from the official Avea site...

It's Aeva.
I don't see where your request was posted, anyway.

The better part of a  week has gone by

And I have yet to see your request...

But I have long since removed Avea Media

Aeva Media 

and replaced it with another gallery add-on which, unfortunately, is not as full featured as yours... but it installed without having to change collations in the database and has run smoothly since installed.

Collation conflicts are, AGAIN, a SMF bug. Ask them to fix it.
You can see my bug report here:
http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=4156
It has, so far, been unanswered.

As for the lack of features of the other gallery: it's not my problem either...
99% of Aeva Media users are happy with it. Obviously, the remaining 1% can be vocal about their little problems.
If you need your button problem fixed, I'll charge you for $15. It may be a 30-second job, but I've already wasted too much time answering your questions over and over again.

* Avea Media

Aeva Media 

did not un-install properly and trashed some files on the way out.

No, it doesn't. You may have installed other mods in the meantime, that conflict with it. That's all.
I am NOT, repeat I AM NOT, going to teach you how to use SMF. I'm not paid for anything, and I'm certainly not going to start supporting SMF itself. I've done my share of contribution for it already.

(SMF 2.0 RC2 w/ only a download and portal mod installed). So I did have to re-install after-all.  Fortunately, it was on a test site... not the production site.[/i]

And you're complaining about issues on a *test* site?

[Nao 尚]

Yeah, but you can replace "RAND()" with "m.id_media DESC" or something...

[Tiribulus]

<<< @tiribulus> I see no reason for your server NOT to return the HTTP_HOST variable, really. Are you sure it's correctly configured? >>>

Thanks as usual. It's the undefined index statement that's throwing me. The only reason I posted it here is because it appears it happened during a request for an AEVA related resource. I found some information indicating it may be an http 1.0 request from an old browser or something in which case it has nothing directly to do with the mod. No biggie. It isn't effecting anything I can discern in any case.  Jist checkin.Thanks again.

Hello, I have media installed on my forum, and everything was ok, but now it no longer marks the views of all videos and always appear as NEW, I tried to go down for maintenance, but to no avail. What can be?

[Pegasys]

Dude... your tech support skills suck!!   

Not only can I not get usable support on your site... I get attacked if I ask for it here?


What's up with that?  Does Aeva Media come complete with a support stalker that hounds you to the ends of the Earth to call you an idiot just for finding bugs in the program?  You should definitely put that in the product description because I'm really sure no other mod offers that.   


Odd thing about that collation issue. There is a mix of UTF8-Unicode & UTF8-General collations in the database tables your product creates. And its the queries in your mod that barf on them. SMF does have mixed collations but their queries don't halt & blow a code over them.

You might want to rethink that "its their problem, not mine" attitude... which appears be overflowing a tad much over onto users with questions and issues.


Just tossing that out there... 


I appreciate the time you have taken to attack me for having issues with your fine product. I agree that you should waste no more of your valuable time on such an obvious noob as myself. I apologize sincerely for my now-obvious lapse of judgment in downloading and sampling one of your products. It will never happen again.

Count on it.

I have albums and sub albums to separate the various types of uploads there. My problem is that when a user wants to create an album that is a child of, before or after, it doesn't show the other albums in the target dropdown. Is there a setting to fix this? I tried looking but couldnt find it

[Soms]

Nao, I just want to report that Bombay TV (www.grapheine.com/bombaytv) is no longer auto embedding. Maybe their code changed?

I don't usually provide fixes for small sites any longer. I don't want to update the site list when it's really for something that no one would use anyway (or close enough.) Please fix this on your side and submit the fix, I won't take time myself to do it. (Or at best, I will remove support for that site entirely.)

Ahahaha!

[Pegasys]

Sorry Dude... but I am embarrassed for you.  Are you here to support your product... or just defend it?


Your outburst is the sort of thing I might expect to see on a kid's gaming site.  But I don't think I've ever seen such a childish thing here at the official SMF site.  Maybe I just don't get out enough and such behavior is indeed acceptable here.

Pity.

It's not a product, jackass. That's what you're too dumb to understand, apparently.
It's a labor of love. If you don't like it, don't use it, I couldn't care less. If you like it and you have a problem, I'll do my best to fix it, even for free, but if for a minute you're making it look like you're EXPECTING me to fix your problems that you caused to yourself, then you can go ****** yourself, as I just invited you to do.

Ask yourself whether my behavior is less acceptable than yours. I may be childish to you (of course you haven't cared to follow the many earlier topics where people demanded such similar support without any consideration for me, so you wouldn't know how to judge), but to me you're just a spoiled kid who thinks he deserves every attention and his errors are actually our misconceptions.

[Relyana]

Guys, please cool down, would you?

I suggest you two edit your posts and stop calling people names, no matter who's right or wrong here.

[Soms]

Don't worry MultiformeIngegno, I've been here long enough to have read all of Nao's reactions. I was merely pointing this out so that he can remove support for the site if he so wishes.

Hi there I am running SMF 1.1.11 and AEVA media gallery. I am more interested in the gallery component and want my main url

www.mysite.com/index.php

to redirect to the gallery and not my forum.

I have removed the forum from my main menu but I still can't get the url to redirect to the main gallery. Is there a way to do this through SMF code?

Or do I have to set a redirect on my web server?

[starbuckk]

I am relocating my web site to a different provider.  There seems to be a problem connecting the entries on the web pages with the actual photos which apparently are encrypted somehow.

Now before I go to far here, let me state that my first attempt was trying to move the SMF Gallery version and reconnect it on the "other side".  However, that failed due to the above reason so now I installed Avea on the old site and am going to try to migrate again using Avea.  However, from what I have seen so far, I think the situation will be the same.  What I did was:

1.  Backed up all of the mgallery databases and restored them on the new site.
2.  Copied the mgal_data files to the new database.
3.  Attempted to access the gallery using SMF Gallery (failed..data there but no pics).
4.  Uninstalled SMF Gallery and installed Avea.
5.  Attempted again to access the gallery using Avea (failed again).

Having failed there, I uninstalled SMF Gallery from the old site and installed Avea.
I'm able to see the pictures, so I'm going to try again to migrate.

I have to get this done by the end of the weekend so will keep checking back here and hoping someone has the answer.  Thanks!

What about compatibility with Redirect Links?

Post install redirect links displays only text links, without video...

+1 I also use this mod and observe the problem
Video can not be inserted

@makar> Your first problem was in an earlier version, I think. Make sure to upgrade to the latest version. Use a recent SVN copy if it still won't work. Second problem, I don't know. Don't remember seeing that before. Maybe it's also fixed with later versions. (Probably, even.)

I use the latest version
all updates were without error

Aeva Media 1.0 © noisen / smf-media
Install Date: November 16, 2009, 21:32:39
Installed version: 1.0 Latest version: 1.0

and

Foxy! add-on
Dragooon's slideshow add-on is not available for Aeva Media. This space will be updated when the add-on is reworked for it.
Nao's Foxy! add-on adds over 70KB worth of features to your gallery. Click here for more details.
User Playlists: Give membergroups the permission to create user playlists. Create playlists by simply visiting any item page and clicking the Playlists drop menu and then select "Add to Playlist". Organize your favorites easily and browse them like an album!
JavaScript + Flash Playlists: Show nice little Flash-powered playlists in these topics, or pretty much anywhere else, based on user playlists or anything you want (one or more items, one or more albums...)
Linked topics: Create (or not) a linked notification topic automatically when adding/editing an album. You can use this to close per-item comments and have everyone comment on albums instead, or subscribe to topic notifications, or harness the power of other topic-related mods. See it in action at Foxprog, which is entirely built on user playlists, Flash playlists and linked topics. Remember, you can do this with any file type!
Post button: Add a button to the post area, which opens a popup that will allow you to upload an item and insert it into your message in as few clicks as possible.
Embedding of remotely hosted pictures: Picasa, Photobucket, Imageshack, anything you can think of. Thumbnails and previews will be created as needed, but the main files themselves will always stay hosted remotely.
RSS feeds: All albums and items now offer RSS feeds to keep you updated for:
* Latest items - user profiles, albums, album with children, or the entire gallery.
* Latest comments - items, user profiles, albums, album with children, or the entire gallery.

I do not need full functionality
I need only add the button image in the form of response
how to create it?


sorry for my English accent
goole translator is to blame
