Nao: From what you said about your to-do list, I interpreted that as you didn't want to implement what was on it...

Actually, most new features I'll add will be in Foxy!... From what I gathered from my recent sessions, Foxy! 'customers' are more likely to be web-savvy and better conscious of the hardships of my work than those who ask for everything to be free*. So I'll give my new features to them, and only them.

brilliant solution!

keep using your enthusiasm as a compass, it's not only the best way, it's also the only way for talented people such as yourself, if i may...

To be specific, the watermark thing was already on my Foxy to-do-list, and I was only talking about the AeMe to-do-list. (i.e. all of the free stuff.)

[Arantor]

Ah, my bad.

I got rid of the permissions thing, in the button code. So, it's just this:

Code Select Expand

// the [aeva] button
echo '<li', $current_action == 'media' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=media">' , $txt[32] , '</a></li>';


As I said, this works fine, on my forum.


If you want to add the permissions thing, it's:

Code Select Expand

// the [aeva] button
   if ($context['allow_memberlist'])
echo '<li', $current_action == 'media' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=media">' , $txt[32] , '</a></li>';

Is this in the index.template.php?

[kat]

Yep!

[outsider147]

This is how my button looks in code;

Code Select Expand


// Aeva Media
// Recalculate number of unseen items
global $user_info;

if (!empty($user_info['aeva_unseen']) && $user_info['aeva_unseen'] == -1)
{
global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php');
aeva_loadSettings();
}

$aeva_unseen = !allowedTo('aeva_access_unseen') || empty($user_info['aeva_unseen']) || $user_info['aeva_unseen'] == -1 ? 0 : $user_info['aeva_unseen'];

if (allowedTo('aeva_access'))
echo ($current_action == 'media' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '', '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_', $current_action == 'media' ? 'active_back' : 'back', '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=media">', isset($txt[23]) ? $txt[23] : 'Media', $aeva_unseen ? '</a> <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=media;sa=unseen">[<b>' . $aeva_unseen . '</b>]' : '', '</a>
</td>', $current_action == 'media' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';


Where did you put this in, because I can't find  a place to put this?
Maybe I can view your code where you put the line of code.

I justed pasted it underneath this: // Aeva Media   // Recalculate number of unseen items

It works with different browsers. However, do I need to delete the rest of the code, because of the unseen parts, or just the part where the code needs to show the butto itself?

I'd say "Try it both ways and see which is best".

[outsider147]

Thanks Kat, I'm gonna try. Can you see on my forum, if it's allright with you and give me a feedback.

Thanks

Lars

[kat]

Can't see the button. Probably no permissions for guests, I guess.

[outsider147]

Strange, I checked and evrything is marked to read the albums, but the button won't show.
I even tried if a guest could moderate, but still no show.

?

Lars

[kat]

I just noticed that I goofed in the permissions bit.


I put: if ($context['mlist']) (Or similar)


When, of course, it should be: if ($context['allow_media'])


The joys of copy/pasting, huh?

[outsider147]

If I change

Code Select Expand

if ($context['allow_memberlist']) into

Code Select Expand

if ($context['allow_media']) the whole button disappears and there is nothing.

It must be something else.

Lars

[kat]

Bugger. I may have got that wrong.


Gimme a minute to check...

[kat]

I'm kinda working blind, here, coz I don't have AEVA installed.


Looking at the parser, though, it could be that you need this, instead:


   if (allowedTo('aeva_access'))


Let me know how that goes and I'll have another look at it, in the morning.


It's bedtime, here, now.

[outsider147]

I made it like this and it seems to work

Code Select Expand

if ($context['allow_memberlist'])
echo '<li', $current_action == 'media' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=media">' , $txt[32] , '</a></li>';
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '<li', $current_action == 'media' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=media">' , $txt[32] , '</a></li>';


Lars

[outsider147]

For me as wel. Where are you from?

Lars

[kat]

Just outside Altrincham, in Cheshire.


Recently moved up here from sunny Southend!

Hi, (before I start, I did read that the Mod author has resigned from support.... I know what it feels like to be burned out.)

Anyway, I recently reinstalled my forum, and Aeva.  I noticed that FFMEPG support has a big X by it.  I thought I installed the FFMPEG into my Ubuntu Server.  Did I miss something, has anybody else had this issue?

Thanks!
