Please post the URL to your topic once it's done.

what topic? where should I post it?

[HogglaBoggla]

SMF 2.0 RC3
I put a "crossdomain.xml" in my website's root directory. Unfortunately the error remains. Single file upload ist no problem, mass uploading still won't work. Any hints on that?

[HogglaBoggla]

Finally fixed it! 
Just to let you know: In one of the many paths repair_settings.php is checking simply one "www." was missing!

[swarz]

As per subject,
due to the fact that .txt file can be only download but not viewed from the gallery I'm trying to put loooong documents (4000 characters or more) into the description, but it fails due to a
"500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

So the question is: what is the limit for the "description" field? Is there any parameter that I have to change to accept such big descriptions?

Thanks in advance, Swarz.

Hereby are the paths as I found them

As long as you are with me Nao, can I ask you why the direct link and the urlcode on pictures don't work? I get a 500 internal server error when I want to use a direct link or a http link on images?

Easy one, as expected... You have a subdomain conflict between www and forum. You need to choose one or the other, update it in this list, and then do a permanent redirect from the old subdomain to the new one. Then your problem is solved.

[Nao 尚]

In a general support board.

[Nao 尚]

Me neither! (Oops!)

[Nao 尚]

Hmm, why exactly would you rather put .txt files in a gallery rather than in a, say, specific board with a topic for each txt file...?

The description is a TEXT-type field, so it should be able to host at least 65.535 bytes per entry.
The issue is *probably* more likely due to Aeva Media parsing the description with regular expressions. If you do this on a very long text, it might crash a few very weak servers.

[swarz]

they go in aeva and not in a normal post because i need them to be voted  by users so I'm using the built-in rating system 

At first I've checked for ' and " just in case but that is not, I guess I should try to mirror the forum on my easyphp and try it there to confirm your theory, if you tell me there are no options to tweak it colud be that.

[LHW]

Not to take anything away from AeMe, but you can accomplish the same thing, basically, using a Poll.  Just post your text in a post, and set up Polls for a rating of 1-5.  Granted, it won't give you an average, but you'll also be able to see how many people voted for each rating.

[Nao 尚]

There are also mods that allow one to rate a topic directly.

[swarz]

tnx for idea but already dismissed, what I'm actually doing is a contest, so it is the user himself to create the entry and needs to be seen as the author, furthermore the decimals shown by aeva will help to avoid a tie break.
(found other smf-mods that allow to rate posts but they give only 1-5 stars and they are not per-section, all the forum or nothing, not helpful)

I'm trying to find a way to automatize the entries and not get involved in the process of creating entries (or bye bye sleeping hours )
Sorry it won't help you to see an example because it is a forum in Italian.

By the way, note for betatesting: rating a 5 as first vote will give an average of 4.97 with 1 vote 

[Nao 尚]

It's not a bug, it's a feature. It's called a weighted rating...

[IdanC]

my pleasure.

hope you don't mind, i decided to be proactive, and i was wondering - will it be horribly devastating if i'll add this query back (you removed it in 1-->1.1) to aeva_viewItem() -

Code Select Expand

// Update its views
$amFunc['db_query']('
UPDATE {db_prefix}aeva_media
SET views = views + 1
WHERE id_media = {int:media}',
array('media' => $item_data['id_media']),__FILE__,__LINE__);

?

cause if not, it really fixes the bug 

update: the devastating outcome is that all items other than embed mp3 get double increase in view count (once the item is opened, and again when loading finish). hs makes it harder to solve, otherwise i'll just remove the equivalent query in aeva_getMedia(). trying to find a workaround...

[IdanC]

ok, i think i found a solution -

in Aeva-Gallery.php, find

Code Select Expand

if ($item_data['type'] == 'embed')
{

and after that add

Code Select Expand

$amFunc['db_query']('
UPDATE {db_prefix}aeva_media
SET views = views + 1
WHERE id_media = {int:media}',
array('media' => $item_data['id_media']),__FILE__,__LINE__);

still testing, but works like a charm so far...

[outsider147]

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
