[roomeat]

That looks great.. I LIKE!!

[MultiformeIngegno]

I really like it, and it works for me (Chrome Dev Channel)!
If you upload the new rev in the svn I can test it on my site (with many pic and users)!!

Hi.
Sorry for disturbing  your latest dialog. After many reading, I came up with a problem I can't find a solution so I would definitely need your enlightenment.

(...)

I opened the topic at noisen.com

Thank you.

[Kindred]

support for this mod is don over at aeva.noisen.com

2/ Does it NOT work on your browser? (If you're using Internet Explorer, it won't work. Don't mind asking me. If you're using IE anyway, you're crazy in the first place. )
3/ Do you want this for your gallery? (i.e. should it be included in the next Aeva Media update?)

+70% are still using I.E. That's a lot of crazy people. Lol. I still use it alongside FF.

It really looks nice though. And yes, in terms of aesthetics, it should be included in the update.

[CKWT]

I would most likely like this on your next update... very nice.. it makes it look like someone said above... sexy...

using FF(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3), works without glitches..... and again looks really nice...

The same.. I use IE for some of our ActiveX applications... ONLY for that reason....

[TheListener]

The curves look good Nao.

Keepsthe mod inline with curve.

Aeva keeps getting better.

@Kindred> Actually I'm not providing support *right now* at noisen... If I started reading through all of the backlog, I'm not sure I'd do it correctly. I need focus. Right now I'm focusing on other things. Ironically, I probably read this topic more -- perhaps because I *know* I'm not providing support here and I can just relax and quickly read through the posts

@Lorenzo> Been a while since I last committed something...!

rev 241
+ Added support for rounded boxes to Firefox and Safari. (am.css)
+ Added rounded corners on thumbnails as well (as long as they're called via aeva_listItems().) (Aeva-Subs.php, am.css)
! Fixed a division by zero error in Exifixer library. (Aeva-Exif.php)

OK, installed... testing it!

Very Slow Buffering Speed??how can i improve this.

I am new to SMF and have SMF 2.0 RC3 installed. I have the theme RGGB Curve from Crip installed:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2053

and then installed Aeva Media 1.1b. There are a large amount of errors in the logs such as:


8: Undefined index: aeva_data
File: /home/theproph/public_html/Themes/default/Aeva.template.php (aeva_admin_about sub template - eval?)
Line: 1927

What is the most graceful way to handle this problem? Should I uninstall Aeva and go back to the default Theme. Then edit the RGGB Curve file and manually put the Aeva data into it?

I like the theme and Aeva and want to get both working together. 

thanks,

Lou

On SMF 2.0, you can also do something else: install automatically (or at least try to) on your custom theme. For this, you need to uninstall Aeva, then, reinstall it but please take a look at the package manager window: on the bottom you have "install on other themes" - choose your theme from there. If the theme code is sufficiently similar with what the mod happens to need, it should succeed. If it doesn't succeed, you still can install, but then edit the failed files manually to insert the missing code. (as shown by the mod site, on the mod's page, if you choose your version and package, and press "parse")

That said, there was an issue in RC3 which would give you a problem with uninstalling from custom themes... To fix it for your installation, please try doing this:
(Sources/Packages.php)

Code (find) Select Expand


$themes_installed[] = $action['theme'];


Code (replace) Select Expand


$themes_installed[] = $action['is_custom'];

Hi Norv,

Many thanks for the help. Since my post, I have looked at the files via the parse information. I am missing the Aeva data in the ./themes/..../modifications.english.php file.

In the Sources/load.php file the 'mem.data_registered' data is found in three places but the new data is only applied to the ($set=='normal') field. The 'profile' and 'minimal' sections do not contain the updated data.

Since I know what is missing can I go ahead and insert the missing information into the appropriate files, without un/reinstalling?

If so, in the /Sources/load.php file, should I enter the 'mem.date_registered, mem.aeva_items, mem.aeva_comments,' data in the other two occurrences of the found string 'mem.date_registered'?

Should none of the above be advisable, I will do the install on a custom routine as you have pointed out. I also will go ahead and add the $theme_installed data as you have suggested.

I do appreciate your help and guidance with this adventure of mine.    It has been quite enjoyable learning all of this.

regards,

Lou

In order to fix it manually, please do consider this: looking at the mod installation instructions, you may notice that some files it installs to are from "default" theme. (Themes/default...).
If those are template files (filename.template.php), then all the edits in them need to be done as well on the corresponding template files in your custom theme folder. That is, if there's an edit to be done to Themes/default/index.template.php for example, then it needs to be done again, on Themes/your_theme_directory/index.template.php (if such file exists, if not, ignore it, the one from the default theme will be used by SMF).
If those are language files (filename.english.php), then - are you using a different language on your forum? You may want to add the code to the corresponding file of your language. (any code in Modifications.english.php, for example, should also be copied into Modifications.your_language.php for all languages your forum uses.)

You should normally find a lot of further information or details on this forum (since manual installation on custom themes is a very very often brought out subject).

[Lou69]

Norv, 

Thank you for the additional information. I can see that this can be more involved that just adding a few lines of information to a few files. I believe that your original suggestions are in my best interest to follow and, I will do so. As I gain more experience I will venture deeper into themes and modifications, for now, I need to follow the simple path so as to get my forum into something presentable.

I will back up my data and then proceed with your original thoughts about this matter.

Thanks, once again,

Lou

Norv,

Well, I am scratching my noodle now,    , seem that there is not an option for 'install on other themes' on my RC3 release. I already have the custome theme installed, but I see no option when using the Package Manager that is resident in my forum Admin pane.

What am I missing? 

Lou

Click Apply mod, and you'll get to the test installation page of the mod. It's there, to the bottom of the page, after listing the checks and telling you "succeeded" or "failed".
Or it should be.

Hmmmm ,, maybe I should be drinking more!   

Sorry, but on the page that give the Installation Actions for "Aeva Media", only option displayed is the Install Now button, which does install the package. 

Is it possible that since I am on a custom theme already, that the button is not displayed due to some error not related to Aeva?

regards and thanks for your patience and help,

Lou

Not 100% but I don't believe this mod needs to install on any custom themes as there are no edits to the index.template.php or BoardInex.template.php files. Hence you won't see an "install on additional themes" option.

Once again, not 100% but I think that's the case w/ this Mod.

[Norv]

mrtrc266, you're absolutely right. I see AeMe has no edits in template files in fact. (so yes, that's why it's missing the poor link).
My apologies, Lou, I shouldn't have taken for granted that since you're using a custom theme then probably that's the reason it wasn't working from the start. It seems it is not. It should work just fine with your theme from the start.

Then (since if I understand correctly your forum is using English, too, please correct me if not), it seems the problem may be some odd reason why the some of the mod's own edits weren't done... Could be a permission issue, it might be useful (potential relevant for other mods installs), but possibly time consuming, to look into it. In order to look into it, you may need to check the SMF files on FTP and try to make them writable. What exactly that means however, depends on your host's server configuration. (on some hosts 666 is necessary for files, on other 644 or 664). There's also in SMF's Admin a way to make files writable (which may succeed, or fail, depending on your host configuration again).
You will probably want rather to choose at this point to go ahead and add the missing information in the respective files as mod parsing shows. Are there many such missing edits?
