@mark> Yes, I know about the silent majority... I know very well about it. But still, I'm the sucker who's forced to come here and provide support, so I read all the messages, and all I can see is people complaining. No word from the other 3.000+ regular users. Eh.

[Akyhne]

Only few complains, Nao. You could spare yourself by making a FAQ in your first post, or make one at your site.

Democracy has always been a game that is manipulated by the vocal minority. And unfortunately our leaders only react  to those who shout the most while ignoring those in the majority who are just minding their own businesses. I see the same playing out here.  I have always taken the trouble of reading all messages in this thread (I did not do that today, but I have been following it from the beginning). 95% of the messages say how great this mod is and what a wonderful job its creator is doing. 3% are negative and 2% are downright abusive.

The effect, the good comments (95%) are just taken for granted and the 5% result in a change of course by the creator of the mod. 5% of the people are given the power to cause pain for 95% of the people! Any leader in the world would kill for a 95% approval rating! But I am getting the impression that without 100% of the vote, Nao will never be satisfied. That is a big pity. We love you Nao. And I say that from the bottom of my heart. The mod you developed has transformed thousands of forums all over the world. The majority is not responsible for the utterances of the minority and as such is unfair to make them pay for these utterances.

@akyhne> There IS a faq in the first post, on the site, on the official mod page, and on the readme page when installing... What more do people need? Big huge text in red? There it is, too!

@soms> I dare you to find 95% of positive message here. Seriously
And re: my attitude towards the Aeva/SMG crowd, all I can say is: I'm getting very little in return for these works. I don't need the compliments, they're nice but I don't need them. What I need is absolutely zero insults, and as few noobs as possible. I hate having to post the same tech help twice in a row. People don't even bother to read the very last page in a topic before they post on it! It happened so many times... And then I start answering with sarcasm, to which they answer with insults, etc, etc... Maybe what Aeva needs most, is to have a lot of tech people posting on it, and as few messages as possible from me. I tried seeing whether people would be willing to donate to me, I got about 30$ in six months. Then I tried seeing whether they'd be willing to donate in exchange for great code -- I made 60€ in one month. (For something that took me two months of fulltime work, as I mentioned before.) So, basically, if I do things for free, I'm insulted. If I do things for a fee, I get ignored. Talk about open source community... Well that "open" thing is quite overrated. No wonder I'm becoming bitterer as time goes by.

@akyhne> There IS a faq in the first post, on the site, on the official mod page

... that answer all those questions that are raised again and again? Why not then just throw a link to people? I mean, not a "check aeva.noisen.com", but a direct link.

@soms> I dare you to find 95% of positive message here. Seriously

Depends how you see it. If we let out the rude answers due to a rude comment from you, I think you could raise it even higher, maybe even 100%.
I understand your frustrations, but when you make a mod as popular as this one, you will always get a lot of questions. If you have a proper FAQ guide, you could answer almost any question by linking.

I supported helping out answering questions here and there for a long time, I even concidered at some point to make a FAQ, but at some point I got so tired of the rude answers, not only from you but also from members here.
Basically I only come here now to see if someone needs a warning for bantering and fighting. Not particular exiting...

Well, if I asked a question that has already been covered, sorry - I DID google and search smf's site for "fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource aeva" but couldn't find anything....  I hate to read 101 pages to find what appears to have been a simple answer!

....anyway thanks for the answer - and a VERY cool mod..    ... now - can I just make the Subs-Aeva-Generated-Sites.php file writable, or do I need to change the permissions of the entire Sources directory?

[Nao 尚]

@akyhne> The most frequently asked question is the one that is replied to in huge red bold text in the FAQ. I used to tell people to go read the first message in the topic, now I'll just say RTFM because really that's what they should do (and AFAIK there's no no-RTFM policy on sm.org.)

@digit> I think you'll have to change your permissions, or more likely, look into whether you have something like PHP Safe Mode installed.

@PRaDiUS

Try this:
In Subs-Aeva-Custom.php
Search for

Code Select Expand

/* // REMOVE THIS LINE TO COMMENT OUT

Copy the part of the code, which is for the height / weight part of hd videos
This one

Code Select Expand


   foreach ($sites as $si => $te)
   {
// Set YouTube's HD videos to the same size as normal widescreen - you can also do: unset($sites[$si]['size']['hd']);
      if ($te['id'] == 'ytb')
         $sites[$si]['size']['hd'] = array(640, 385);
   }
Paste it after the next /*.

Don't forget to reload the thread which includes the video and maybe clear the browser cache.

Perfect, thanks ianus! Got the youtube HD videos back to normal size.

And of course big thanks to Nao 尚 for the mod

I know this might not be the proper place to ask but is there some mod working like Aeva just for pictures?

Meaning, is it possible to make some mod to just copy url and that [IMG] code appears automatic?

Once again I apologize for offtopic.

[dembow]

hello,

i'm having problems making all youtube hd videos to a certain size

i added this to my aeva-custom but it's not working

Code Select Expand


   foreach ($sites as $si => $te)
   {
// Set YouTube's HD videos to the same size as normal widescreen - you can also do: unset($sites[$si]['size']['hd']);
      if ($te['id'] == 'ytb')
         $sites[$si]['size']['hd'] = array(740, 438);
   }


am i missing something?   please help!

[Akyhne]

Did you remember to save the embed list in the admin center as well?

[dembow]

you mean going to the aeva sites tab and clicking save there?

btw it didn't add a youtube on the custom part, i guess since it's on top it wont add it again?

[dembow]

oh! never mind, weird is working now

Not that I know of -- and not that it'd be of any use really. The thing with videos is that SMF doesn't allow non-admins to add  tags because of security issues, while pictures have no such problem.

@Cheschire> 250 pages is a bad excuse. Even a 10-page topic is going to have the same treatment. People just read the last few pages and usually they'll find their answer there. Additionally, they try to read the first post. That's why I'm putting the FAQ over there. In the first post. Which some people still can't get to read. Uh... So, yeah, 250 pages, who cares. Just read the last few pages and you'll always get your answer, since the same questions come up again and again and again from people who can't frakking take a few seconds to read the first message...

So you're telling people to read the last few pages because someone asked the question over and over, but you don't want them asking the question over and over.

I guess my point is people are going to ask anyways, why be such pricks about it? Just answer their question, or ignore them. You just bring bad karma all around if you are a prick to someone who is asking a question, regardless of whether or not you answer the question.

But I guess you'll report this post to a mod too since I'm being contrary.

[Nao 尚]

Would you rather have someone do nothing at all, or someone bring bad karma out of desperation at all the noob stuff and insults, but who on the other side actually went to work and released a popular mod for the community?

Ah...

Anyway.

Version 6.9.100                                    29th July 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------
! This update is not silent, since you'll need to install it if you
  want to keep YouTube support working at least a bit.
! Half-fixed YouTube support by removing all quality levels and simply
  using a HD flag. Will revert to the usual system if YouTube fixes
  support for the "ap" parameter on their side.
* Copyright footer now uses the smalltext class (long overdue!)
! Fixed typo in Crunchyroll support

@akyhne> There IS a faq in the first post.

I must be blind. I searched for FAQ and F.A.Q.  NADA.

[mark7144]

Upgraded to .100, all working fine (excluding the bold link issue you already know about).

[RoarinRow]

I updated to 6.9.100 but the Aeva Administration - Settings still says 6.9.99.  The mod works thou   

[Nao 尚]

I'll silent update to fix this.
