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

[bcr123psu]

bcr... why do you think starting a new thread will get you any faster response?   Most of the people who use this mod read only this one thread...

As this was my first visit to this board (which you could see from the number of posts I have and the date I joined), I was under the impression that my post would get lost in this massive thread and didn't realize that only the one thread was utilized...sorry for the infraction.  I just need to figure out a solution to this ASAP as my entire site isn't functioning since I installed this mod and I haven't been able to find an easy way to uninstall it.

@NAO

If i embed a pdf i get the Text along with DETAIL which is too short beside - is there a way to put it next line ?

[bcr123psu]

My entire site went down when I ran the Aeva Media mod.  I clicked the "Install" button and I was immediately redirected to a page that indicated an Internal Server Error, specifically, 500 Internal Server Error.  I've tried hitting the site from a PC with IE6 and another that has Google Chrome and IE8 and nothing works.  Each page ends up at the 500 Internal Server Error.  I didn't have any other Mods installed on the site and it is running SMF 1.1.11.

Error log on server indicates "Premature end of script headers" on index.php (main site index).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

Actually, if someone could just tell me how to uninstall Aeva, that would be really helpful too.

Is there any way to post an image from a gallery in a message?

[YogiBear]

I've done it using the tumbnails, Ataru. Right click on properties then post the url using the img tags.

mee too... but my users are not so smart with those things... I need something easier...
e.g. a button near img tag's one, a popup to choose album and pic, and it's done...
maybe it could be a feature request...

bcr,

Did you take a backup of your site before installing? If so, restore the backed up files (if not, shame on you)

If not, then you will have to manually remove the code changes from the forum files

ataru,

you can use the SMG tag (hmmm.... is it still smg or is the tag amg now?)
you can also get the foxy add-on, which I think has a javascript add button...  (does it, Nao?)

It's still SMG in the tags, otherwise Nao would have had to rewrite entire forum message bases when upgarding.

The Foxy! add-on has a button in the message editor, but it's intended for uploading an image from the message editor, not finding an existing one.

[Ataru Moroboshi]

do you mean (SMG id=XXX)?

well, it's quite good, however I can tell my user to put their pictures in the gallery and not to upload to imageshack or similar...

i guess i can create a button that writes down code, but they have to keep in mind pic's id. it's a step forward.

thanks

It's a shame on me situation.  To remove the changes, is there a reference for the specific code blocks that are changed when Aeva is installed?

ftp into your hosted folder, or use c/panel, and go into your packages folder.
Then go into your backup folder within.
You should see a package labelled something along the lines of "before Aeva Media", download it, then upload it to the root of your forum, allowing it to overwrite all the files.
Your forum will be back to the state it was before you installed this mod.

Remember to make regular backups of your forum. db included.
Good luck

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately my backup folder only has ".htaccess" and "index.php" and both are pretty bare bones.  I'm downloading a full site backup right now, but it's going to take a while to load and it might not be a pre-Aeva backup.  In the meantime (and if the backup is useless), are there any other instructions to manually rollback the installation?  Thanks again.

[Kindred]

yes...   take a look at the manual install instructions for the mod on the mod download page...   reverse those directions

[bcr123psu]

I would do that, but here's where I'm having issues: I've parsed just about every file I could find that is mentioned in the install-1.1.xml and I can't find any reference to Aeva.  For example, I'm looking at the board index.php and I should be able to find:

   // Aeva Media Changes
   if (isset($_REQUEST['action'], $_REQUEST['area']) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'admin' && substr($_REQUEST['area'], 0, 4) == 'aeva')
   {
      require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Admin.php');
      return 'aeva_admin_init';
   }
   // End Aeva Media changes

Just after the line:

// Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).

But at no point does the word aeva or any of the code from the install.xml appear anywhere.  So I guess the question is what part of the installation could have caused the "Premature end of script headers" error message on index.php?  Has anyone else had the installation bomb right from the start and run into this?

I got this error when trying to install on SMF 2.0 RC2 PostgreSQL:

ERROR: relation "smf_aeva_albums" does not exist
LINE 1: UPDATE smf_aeva_albums SET master = id_album WHERE parent = ...
^
File: /web/forums/Packages/temp/db_aeva.php
Line: 530

[bcr123psu]

Problem solved.  Somehow the permissions on the root folder got changed to 777 from 755.  Site back up and avoiding mods for a little while.

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined index: aeva_gotolink
Datei: /Sources/Aeva-Subs.php
Zeile: 2658

There is a translation missing somewhere ? This happens when using PRINT PAGE.

i'm having some troubles with the mod and my host said i needed to ask for help here, when i click on the media tab i get this "[an error occurred while processing this directive]" the hosting company sent me back this e-mail " 

Aeva-Subs.php

function aeva_getOverallTotal(&$_album, &$_dat)
{
        if (!isset($_album['overall_total'], $_dat['num_items']))
                return;

        foreach ($_dat['sub_albums'] as $id => $album)
                aeva_getOverallTotal($_album, $album);

        $_album['overall_total'] += $_dat['num_items'];
}

This  function is looping and causing PHP to shut it down as an infinate  loop. It appears that the data being passed to the function is not  being set properly.

can this be fixed, thanks

I'm interested in changing the order of the Recent Items (making it second on the main Aeva Media index) and the Random Items (making it first) on my forum ...

Where would I go look, to change the code, and ultimately the order of these 2 items on the main Aeva Media page?

Thanks,

@azrael> The view count is fixed in rev 216. Will make sure to release it officially tomorrow at the latest.
As for mark seen -- I don't remember seeing a problem with these. Can anyone confirm? It's been a VERY long time since anyone has posted a YT video on my own gallery anyway... Is the problem only with embeds?

I don't know about embeds, but there may be an issue with the FTP Import.  I normally don't enter the Unseen area, however, when I just did, I noticed it has 26 items that my co-Admin just FTP'd in.  There's no indication on the Main Menu button telling me that I have new Unseen items.  Perhaps because I'm also an Admin??

@warlock> I believe it's normal... In order to save on CPU cycles, the unseen counter is cached. The cache is not refreshed all the time. If, however, you go to the Unseen Area and you see new items, then you hit Refresh and your Unseen counter is still zero, then it's a bug.

Nao, here's a follow-up...

For days, my Unseen indicator didn't show anything (on multiple PCs, and after refreshing the page/site multiple times), and there were still those 26 items...I never marked them as Seen.  Then I uploaded a single file to AM, and now the "26" show on the Main Menu Bar.

Not sure if it's a problem or not, but wanted you to be aware of it.

Thanks!
