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

I can't seem to post a link to my board either.

You can't post a link on your first post, as an anti spam measure (and the link won't immediately work when you are able to post it)

It would be useful if you could now post your board's link (with AM visible to guests)

[ihatecfinch]

Ah nice! Here is the link www.ihatecfinch.com/forum [nofollow]

I'm too great at this sort of stuff and I really try to take the time to figure everything out on my own before I bother asking but this is just frustrating.

Thanks in advance!

[Arantor]

The gallery isn't visible to guests, so I can't see what's up with it.

[ihatecfinch]

Oh my bad! Should be able to now!

[Arantor]

Hmm, did you have any 'test failed' items when installing Aeva? Did you install Aeva before or after that theme?

[ihatecfinch]

I initially installed 1.1b on my original installation of 1.1.11 and it didn't work. I have since upgraded to 2.0 rc3 and reinstalled and no dice. Gave up for a while and just tried installing again on this them in particular.

I got one error and there is a ton of them...

That seems like the issue that's been reported and is sort of considered an SMF bug, but that some aren't sure it is...

[ihatecfinch]

Hmmm so I'm sort of screwed for now? lol

How does this gallery compare to smf gallery pro? I have no experience with either...

[Arantor]

GalPro is paid, for one, and you'll probably have a similar issue with it.

[ihatecfinch]

Yeah I don't mind paying for it if it's my better option but sounds like I need to fix the problem first... So is there somewhere I could read up on this issue more?

[Arantor]

There's a thread in the bug reports board where I lost my temper several times because the reporter wasn't going to answer a simple question.

The Aeva maintainer/author is aware of the issue though.

[plpetit]

Quand j'essaie d'accéder à mon profile, j'ai l'erreur suivante:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /web/sosstaffie/www/forum2/Sources/Profile.php  on line 345

Je n'ai rien modifié manuellement, je me suis borné à sélectionner et passer à l'endroit voulu!

SMF 2 RC3

[ihatecfinch]

lol I'll try to find that post! Sounds like it should be easy to spot out but as many posts as you make it's somewhat difficult! I'll keep poking around.

In the meantime I'm fairly screwed with this gallery? It seems as tho not too many people are experiencing this problem...  I'm just out of ideas through various installations and upgrades nothing seems to be working for me.

[Arantor]

ihatecfinch: Look in the Bug Reports and Fixed/Bogus Bugs boards for a topic started by winky100.

It's not just the gallery; it's a lot of mods potentially. You could manually install it (Manual Installation of Mods), though.

plpetit: Other mods?

[plpetit]

No, I did not install other mods!

I am new and I have only a very limited knowledge of php and SMF indeed!

Here is the piece of failing code:


   );


      // Aeva Media changes
      'aeva' => array(
         'title' => $txt['aeva_gallery'],
         'areas' => array(

      // End Aeva Media changes

That's clever, since it's found the wrong place to match code, which is why it breaks.

Since I was able to install it fresh on a fresh forum, I know the package itself is fine. So, you don't have anything else in the Package Manager listing?

The only way that can happen is on a modified forum...

[plpetit]

Sorry I disturbed you, I found my error!

I put the code after  the " );" and not before, I corrceted and it is OK !

[coldy316]

Okay when i click on the media tab button to take me inside the section from main index page of board i get this

Code Select Expand


Welcome to the gallery section, powered by Aeva Media. To delete or modify this welcome message, just edit file /Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php and add this line to it:

$txt['aeva_welcome'] = 'Welcome.';You can also change the text directly from within the admin area. This is simpler but you lose the ability to translate it to multiple languages.


I followed the instructions add the line but didnt work.  Exactly where do you put the code on what line or under what
section of the coding. there is alot of coding in that modification.english.php template

[Arantor]

If you're installing on a fresh forum, there is no reason generally you shouldn't be able to have SMF do it for you, rather than editing the code manually...


coldy316: What exactly did you try and change or add? You can edit it from within the admin panel normally, but since you've edited the file itself, go to Admin > Maintenance > Routine > Empty the file cache

[plpetit]

Sorry but I have another problem!

I tested the integration by uploading a wmv file on my site.

Under IE8  a black window opened in the message area with slide bar and buttons, I click on the start arrow an the file plays.

Under Firefox 3.6.3 a black window opens in the message area but without slide bar and buttons under and it displays "Waiting for video"

I disabled downoad manager but it did not correct the problem!
