To be honest, I'd forgotten to even test it, I just looked at the xml and saw the above.
I have since pulled it with feed burner... zannii  ::)
Thanks for your reply :)
Do NOT give admin and/or ftp details to just anybody, see if they are trust worthy first!!  Do your homework ;)

Hi, I've installed the mod with no problems, and it's working. However, when I try to access the settings through admin panel I get a time out as if the connection to my database has broken. It's a "MySQL server has gone away" error, and refers to some lines of code in the load.php and subs.php files. On inspection, the code seems to request a database query but it breaks before it can be completed. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just letting you know that these are showing up more now. Everything seems to be working though near as I can tell.

Greetings!
This was discussed already.
Different tags like [ae], [video], [aeva], [media] where discussed and also to offer some extra functuinality like [embed=hq].
You can find a lot of posts throughout the "old" topic.
Examples:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=327942.msg1863810#msg1863810
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=327942.msg1825182#msg1825182
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=327942.msg1873692#msg1873692
And even a poll over at noisen:
http://aeva.noisen.com/dev/5122/poll-the-bbc-tag-problem/

You now can see the result - there is (and will be) no tag.

Personally I argued to add a tag in these former days (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=327942.msg1879843#msg1879843) but after using Aeva for nearly a year now, I must say, that I was wrong.
Nao's decision, to get rid of the tag, have some benefits. For example, if a website is changing the embed code, the post will still look nice, because there is a "normal" link without [codetags] around.

Hello everyone,
I was thinking; sometimes I just want a link to be posted on my site, but sometimes embedded. Would it be possible to make AEVA so that you have to insert a BBCode around the link before it embeds it?
Aeva has a function opposite to this. If you don't want something embedded, add [noembed] [/noembed] tags around the links.

Tiribulus...
If you want a fix, ask your host. I don't know what this is about. Their PHP isn't sending back the official response type. It's not my fault.
If you just want to get rid of the error messages, add a @ in front of the instructions in lines 298 and 299.
@fclose(...)
I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

This is my own machine and I just recently upgraded to PHP Version 5.3.1RC2-dev. Maybe that has something to do with it. I was just telling you more for your own information. I didn't assume it was a mistake on your part. It doesn't seem to be bothering anything that I can tell. Can I ask if those instructions do anything essential? It looks like maybe their related to sitelist updates or something.

Nao 尚

Yeah it's not a PHP error actually...

http://php.net/manual/en/function.fclose.php

bool fclose ( resource $handle )

Officially, PHP requires a Resource-type variable to be provided. Your PHP fails because a bool-type was sent. Okay!
The variable is $my_file.

It's initializes two lines above:

$my_file = fopen($sourcedir . '/Subs-Aeva-Sites.php', 'w');

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

"Return Values
Returns a file pointer resource on success, or FALSE on error."

So, if it works, it returns a resource, otherwise it returns a bool (false).
Which means your file replacement process fails.
Make sure Subs-Aeva-Sites.php is writeable. Make sure it has a chown that PHP can control.

But of course.

Wadda I am.

When I copied the files for the new version I forgot to change the permissionss. Duh.
Thanks

Liam.

I didn't know about the [noembed] tags, thanks ^_^ I'll be sure to use that now instead =]

Nao 尚

It's in the readme.txt file and in the mod page's instructions ;)

How QE screws up videos? Because for one, when you click Submit, the contents is then turned (via Javascript) into something suitable for XML transmission (rather than direct HTTP POST). But this is not so much a problem now since I've been able to work around it long ago. The main problem is that SMF sends back an AJAX message with the updated (and parsed) contents. It's like receiving an all new web page... Only, it only contains what's in the post. No headers, no Javascript -- hence, no communication between the main page and its new contents, because there's no way to easily retrieve the div IDs needed for establishing that communication. Anyway... So, what I did is, if XML transmission is detected, I completely disable the Javascript features and send back a plain <object>. This effectively disables the "Normal | Large" options in the bottom right corner. Because of this, I consider it's "screwed up". The object is only shown to reflect changes made by the user. It doesn't represent the final object.

Excuse me if I don't understand your message :-/

So, are you really saying that one will have to remove Modify Message button in order to get AeVa to work properly?

Is there a problem with WS format in the latest version?

For example, the new Modern Warfare trailer doesn't embed as WS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=429l13dS6kQ

Nao 尚

Ah... Yes indeed. YouTube has again changed their internal code. (That's twice in a month...)
Luckily it was easily fixed with the new sitelist update. Use ?checkaeva to force it.

No... I'm just saying you need to refresh the page after you've updated the post if you want to see the video as others will see it. Is that so hard? ???

Aeva installs its admin section into the Modifications menu all right, but in a *sub-menu*, not directly within the Modifications page. Just look for the Aeva tab...

There's apparently a misunderstanding in our conversation. I'll try to explain it in other words.

Assume the following scenario. I create a new post and the only content it contains is a text URL to a random video, for the sake of illustration I use the one you provided as example for Facebook in AeVa's source files. So, I click Post to create a new post and return to topic to view my post. I see that this Facebook video has different size [2] as compared to those videos that are displayed in correct size [1]. By accident I figured out that if I click Modify Message button, and then immediately Save the video gets kind of stretched so it is now in correct size.

I hope this clarifies what is really going on. If not just say a word ;)
