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

Didnt work for me. I put the file in root and in forums folder along with the previous crossdomain.xml. But the problem remains. Eventhough the error has changed a little. Now the error message is...

The Flash upload module sent the following error.

Error type: uploadError
Error ID: file196

Error message: 500

The Flash upload module sent the following error.

Error type: uploadError
Error ID: file196

Error message: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2038"]

After spending 24 hours on this, I found out this error is because the forum isn't allowing the uploaded file to be handed to the server. It calls the mass upload page again, but the call gets refused because of the UPCOOK string that is being passed.

See if you have something like "Forum Firewall" installed. If so, turn off the SQL Injection Test. The mass upload should then work.

I am trying to figure a way around that without deactivating the injection test.. perhaps by changing what the UPCOOK sends.

Hope this helps someone.

@YogiBear!

Thanks man. Worked like magic!

So, for those of you who saw my problem (quoted below) we've figured out what happened.

We had someone post in our Media board, and in the title they self-censored the word "******ING" with "F@#$IN"

well in PHP the $ means something and it was getting tripped up when trying to embed the Youtube video with a name of with $IN, that why it was saying "Can't find IN" because it was trying to interpret $IN

So that is just a bug in Aeva

We modded that title of the post to not include the $, but we will need to make a more robust modification to Aeva to fix this long term.

To find the error, we made the following change in Aeva-Embed.php:

error_log("You messed up!" . print_r($input, TRUE) . "()", 3, "my-errors.log");
        on line 378

$input is the only variable being used on the line that was producing the error so I started looking there

Then we saw that $input contained:
)You messed up!Array
(
   

• => <aeva-begin><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVMKBOANOc0#" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">IT&#039;S MOTHAF@#$IN&#039; RAMADAN CHARLIE BROWN!</a>
     [1] => <aeva-begin>
     [2] => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVMKBOANOc0
     [3] => eVMKBOANOc0
  )
  
  And after seeing the title with $IN it was pretty clear
  
  So if anyone gets an ERROR 500, it's probably because you have a $ in your title. 
  
  
  

  
  When clicking on a board, my members and I are now getting an "internal server error".  It's only on board #6, and not on other boards. I've tried deleting the most recent post, to see if that had something to do with it - and no luck.
  
  When going to: http://www.teamzg.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0
  You get the following message:
  

  Internal Server Error
  
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
  
  Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
  
  More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

  
  When I check the error log, here it what it says:

  Line: 1
  

  
  I haven't touched anything recently, everything has been installed and was running fine. This is seemingly a "random" problem. Any helps, tips, advice, etc would be fantastic and greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Realistically, we will need to make a more robust modification to Aeva. We'll mod Aeva-Embed.php so this won't be an issue in the future. However, it's not going to be a simple fix.

Also an FYI... It's kind of wasteful really, every time someone clicks any message boards all the threads are scanned for content, that's not really necessary unless you were actually on a very specific page of a thread. <rant>But that's typical for volunteer stuff, it's not optimized for efficiency. Especially not surprising when the mod creator bails on his project because he's in a bad mood and "needs a break".

Yeah, I get it. He was banned, and is butt-hurt. He ran off to go play in another sandbox. But even if people join his sandbox to ask for help, he refuses. The original moderator created an awesome mod, but it's pretty much worthless if he's not going to stick around and fix sh*t. It means he's a quitter, and I hate quitters.</rant>

We'll spend some time cleaning up, fixing, and optimizing this mod for 2.0 Gold, and share our version with anyone who wants it. I'd hate for someone else to go through what I went through.

could be the switch between '.' and ',' as your code separator.

I installed Aeva media V1.4w on smf 2.00 It gave an error on install in subs.php, but when I checked the syntax it was purely because there were no tab spaces from home to script comand. The install reads and expects to see two tabs then the string (I feel this should be corrected to read only the string required). I corrected this by entering two tabs at the start of the line in my subs.php.
The install was then flawless.

having configured Aevamedia gallery, but when i try to load a jpg into a gallery i am owner of it get message below

The file size is larger (159326 KB) than the system allows- this file is a 152k Jpg
I went to the website to register and join, but the captcha continually states i have incorrectly entered text (NO I DIDN'T) after 11 times on different machine across two browsers I gave up.

I now feel like giving up with this mod and continuing with my current coppermine gallery of many years.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

[Dave Busters]

@ smartblogz : recommend check permissions both in Aeva admin and the Aeva settings in membergroup permissions.

@ Dave : check you have enabled embedding in Aeva > Admin and ticked the boxes of the sites from where you want to embed eg. Youtube. Click Save (easily forgotten).

Hi YogiBear, thanks for replying. Where would I find this? I can't find it in the Admin section of my board.

[smartblogz]

@Dave Busters,

Go to Admin , then you should see Aeva Media. Click on it and you will see a drop down from where you can configure.

Aeva media -> Auto Embedding (the 3rd menu) -> Configuration ...sitelist.

[Dave Busters]

Hi smartblogz,
I'm still having trouble. I installed smf 2-0. That's all. Is there anything I need to uninstall before continuing? If so, what?

[Sabrewulv]

[Dave Busters]

Good news, everyone. It worked. Thanks for the help, guys.

Hah, the guy forks other projects, but doesn't allow his own projects to be forked!

Can not be installed together?

[petewadey]

Hi,
Since upgrading to 1.4, I no longer get recent items in my gallery, and random items no longer show as thumbnails. Is this a known problem, and does anyone know a fix? Also new items are no long flagged. Here is a link to my gallery http://bsac10c11c12.co.uk/smf/index.php?action=media. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Pete

[YogiBear]

Hmm, I've never seen that type of layout on Aeva before. Are you using a modified theme, Pete?

[petewadey]

Hi Yogi, I'm using Core, no mods. I get this message in my error log :-
"http://bsac10c11c12.co.uk/smf/index.php?action=media8: Undefined variable: viewFile: /home/lrdvgak/public_html/smf/Themes/default/Aeva.template.php
Line: 238"
I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem.
I still have Aeva 1.1b in my installed packages with no un install option, should I delete that?
Cheers,
Pete

[YogiBear]

Not a good idea to delete as it looks as though Aeva is still installed. If you delete then try to reinstall you would most probably end up with a double installation.

If you switch to Curve theme is there then an option to uninstall?
