Aeva Media / Re: A cautionary tale for Aeva haters...« on: 17 October 2010 à 20h50 »Wow. Another reason to not use SMF.... Joke?vbgamer45 isn't SMF. It just goes to show that the SMF team has management issues. There's a list of rules that each SMF teamie must follow and vbgamer has broken most of them several times over. This puts the software project in jeopardy because it's doubtful they can handle it properly if they can't handle their members' behavior. Quote 250$ are a lot. Can you get your money back, Arantor?vbgamer45 won't reply to him, won't refund, SMF team doesn't want to hear about it either. So, basically, vbgamer45 is using these $250 to further his grip onto the SMF community. Nice. Quote Seems like the whole smf team seems to fall apart...Like every empire, it will crumble one day. But will it last as long as Alexander's, or as the Romans'?

Does the bug i mentioned above exist in v2.0?Only in 2.03 and 1.4a. Earlier versions don't have the problem, but they also don't have the security fix. Which, honestly, I don't really see how it could be exploited, but better be safe than sorry. The problem with preparsecode() is that this thing is not properly documented by SMF. We're supposed to use it but then they don't tell why and how. And Aeva Media is based on early code by Dragooon, who did things differently (in a safe way, too), but this conflicts with preparsecode(). Really, it's just as easy as that. I need to look into it a bit more. I'm kinda stuck on my other free project right now, see. I'll try to release an update by tomorrow. Quote Is the viewing bug on videos fixed also?You mean view count? It's not a bug per se... Quote At this point in the game, i'll begrudgingly buy the software if it means i actually get some support, lolWell, as I always say: I'm not begging for anyone's money. If you buy the 2.x branch expecting a bug fix, you'll be disappointed because I committed myself to backporting to 1.x any bug fix I'll put into 2.x. (Well, "committed" is a big word... Let's just say if it's easy enough to fix a bug, I'll backport it. If it's a complicated mess to fix, then 1.x users will have to live with it, but so far I've seen no such problem.) Quote I don't and never have needed the extra functions of v2.0, i just need the free version to actually be 'bug free' :/Again: not a bug. Quote $20 is a reasonable price to me, only thing that's always put me off is the limited 1 year support, doesn't sound like a good deal to me, what does that actually mean anyway?It just means you lose access to the private boards after a year. Meaning you can't download new updates and ask questions. But you can use the 2.x branch forever on your site, obviously. Quote Does it mean no more help on bugs / problems after a period of 1 year; after 365 days i have to pay another $20 just to get some useful information / advice from your time?Well, you can always try SMF Gallery Pro. It's only $50 per year. Oh, add $30 for the video component. So, it's only $80 per year, sorry. It's still a very cheap deal. The crappy software, I mean, not the price. Quote How would you know how long i've actually had the product for?It's indicated in your profile. Quote I suspect you'd probably just release v3 and discontinue support for v2 i guess.Well, I would have to reach v3 to begin with.... And I don't see why I would do that. I've been working on AeMe for over 2 years, and made it a great product. 99% of its features are free. I'm selling the remaining 1%. Actually, I'm not selling them, I'm offering them to donating users. I don't like calling my users 'customers', really. If you don't want to donate for the pleasure you got from the free software, then you don't have to, but you won't have the extra features I'm offering to honest users. All I'm asking for is not your money but your respect. Just don't treat me like Akyhne or some of the SMF teamies do, and I'll be happy enough to keep releasing updates. Albeit less frequently than before -- I didn't have that other project on my hands until a few months ago. 124

It's a known issue, it's mentioned on the mod site over at sm.org (in my parallel changelog.)
Fixable by removing the htmlspecialchars call from these places. Too busy to look into it though. 125
Aeva Media / Re: [No support!] The only place to talk with the author for now...« on: 11 October 2010 à 19h13 »
I hope it does, but I doubt v2.x would fix any bugs within v1.4!

Aeva Media / Re: [No support!] The only place to talk with the author for now...« on: 9 October 2010 à 23h46 »SMF is my favorite forum software by far, i don't even think the paid for solutions are as cool as it (and certainly not worth paying a 6 monthly fee for)I can only agree... I'd rather use FluxBB or, forgive me, phpBB before being coerced into paying $150 (or more!!) for a software package that barely does better than SMF... Quote so i hope they do make it open source and its future is secured, i may just come back to it after i've played around with phpbb3Well, phpBB3 really isn't worth much of your time. I like their main theme and it's a long-lived project so I respect them, but... Have fun with their plugin system... 128
Aeva Media / Re: [No support!] The only place to talk with the author for now...« on: 9 October 2010 à 23h21 »That should solve the problem for now, i don't see the point of removing highslide completely, too much work for such a small thing and i'm moving away from SMF by the end of the year anywayDon't tell me... XenForo? Quote Jooma in conjunction with another forum software is the future, with SMF there is too much bullshit involved and the shit is definitely going to hit the fan on a major scale eventually (we have seen signs of this already, it's just a matter of time before it goes downhill completely).I completely agree, except in two areas: - SMF will become Open Source when SMF2 Gold is released. They said they would. We're trusting them to do it. In the current situation, SMF will die. If it goes open source, then it means others can take over, even if the project is dying. - And there ARE people who are willing to take over and seriously make SMF a powerful solution again. Arantor and I are two of those. We're just waiting for SMF to be made open source. And then we'll have some fun! Quote So i'd just like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help and assistant over the last 8 months and to wish you luck on your future endeavorsThanks

I just checked my mailbox and received a notice from PayPal that my account has been re-enabled.
So you can now safely purchase again! (Phew... It 'only' took over a week!) 130
Aeva Media / Re: [No support!] The only place to talk with the author for now...« on: 9 October 2010 à 21h18 »Wow this place has changed so much, i can't seem to find the old support forums (my post history reveals nothing, was the old forums deleted?)Nope, but it was moved to a customer-only section. I really, really, really couldn't cope with the numerous requests anymore... I'm now completely cut off from the free AeMe community, I'm afraid. But if problems arise, I'm pretty sure one of my faithful customers will mention the problem to me Quote Anyhoo, Nao, today i updated my Aeva from 1.3 to 1.4a and the view count for videos is broken againI... didn't change anything in that area, I believe...? Are you sure that if you downgrade to 1.3, it 'fixes' your problem? If yes, try using v1.4 (not 1.4a.) Although I deleted it... Maybe not from aeva.noisen.com, though. Quote I know your support is limited and appreciate all the help you can give but can you tell me which file i need to edit that controls the view count for the light-boxes for videos? (this seems to be an on going issue with every new release i upgrade to and yes i uninstall completely before installing the new oneI would only say -- if you're serious about video counts, then disable Highslide. I know it sucks, but Highslide isn't very cooperative. Maybe in the future I'll change the system to use another library. Or I'll just give up on that stupid slideshow and just use Highslide as it was used before the AeMe days. 131
Aeva Media / Re: A cautionary tale for Aeva haters...« on: 9 October 2010 à 10h03 »Don't mind me saying, sound like vbgamer45 needs to get a proper job rather then sitting at the computer and scamming people out of their money.Can't really happen until people start to realize that they deserve for themselves what they accept for others... Then, maybe he'll be kicked out. Because what strikes me as the most shocking, is not that he's a scammer. It's that he's a prominent community member and a longtime SMF team member. Yet, he's also the symbol of what most of their team has been so far: a shameful act. 132
Aeva Media / A cautionary tale for Aeva haters...« on: 8 October 2010 à 0h37 »
A few weeks ago I caught a post from Akyhne that was insulting to me. I wouldn't usually mind, but he posted it in a place he thought I couldn't read, and he was always very polite with me. I don't mind having enemies, but hypocrits are the worst kind, so I revoked his license to use SMF Media Gallery on his website, worldofgt.com, to which he replied with a "fuck you!", and he made the fight public. I just want you to be aware that the next time Akyhne gives you a lesson on anything (he loves giving people a lesson), you can tell him to fuck off, because he's willingly breaking his license agreement. That is, until I get bored and properly ask his host to take down his website. For now, this notice will suffice.
Now, some like Akyhne love my mods so much, that they are willing to insult me and get ridiculed in public, just to avoid uninstalling it from their website (or downgrading to a version I didn't make.) But there are people who, on the contrary, don't like Aeva Media, for whatever reason. I'm absolutely fine with that. I wrote AeMe for myself, not for anyone else. It does what I want it to do. If it doesn't suit you, well... Well, until today I used to say "use SMF Gallery, then. It sucks even more, but there are probably people who'll enjoy it more." Now I won't even say that. Arantor purchased vbgamer45's "Community Suite" package at $250 back in August. He never was able to download it. After months of sending e-mails to vbgamer and asking him to give him access to his software suite, he was simply banned from his forum, and his license was revoked (whatever that means -- he was never able to download that in the first place.) What's interesting is that not only did vbgamer NEVER tell Arantor why he banned him. But he actually kept the $250 for himself. Now, I've always been quite patient with that capitalist pig of an incompetent pseudo-dev, and never even mentioned him here even after all he's done to me in the shadows, but a point needs to be made because he went too far. vbgamer45 is a lying bastard and a thief! Thanks for your attention. (And Pete, I hope you won't mind that I posted this here. I just can't stand still and watch my friends be treated like shit.) 133

It's not 2500¤, it's much less... Less than a thousand?
Remember, it's not the current amount of your account -- it's the total amount of money you received since the account was created. And yes, I actually do use that money to do most of my online purchases myself -- games, DVDs, books. It saves me the hassle of going through currency conversion rates. Anyway -- AeMe 1.4a is out  And my PayPal account is still down. Grrrr... But I couldn't wait before I released v2.03. I take security matters seriously, even when it's one that is hardly exploitable. 134
Aeva Media / Re: [No support!] The only place to talk with the author for now...« on: 6 October 2010 à 17h30 »
Probably.
My debit was confirmed after 5 days (uh...), now I'm waiting for them to re-open the account. 24 hours already... >_< 135
Aeva Media / Re: [No support!] The only place to talk with the author for now...« on: 5 October 2010 à 16h33 »
Nope... It's currently completely down. I'm in the process of re-enabling it. They're not exactly in a hurry... Ah, well. Could be worse...
