If we say it you'll find our forum URL soon enough. We're not sure we want to open it soon. Well, I want to, personally, but it might be wise to focus on work right now.

I've been sent this file... Supposedly it fixes hook problems within SMF2 RC4. Aeva Media isn't using hooks, but portaMx is, so that's probably a fix for her problems. You know, the problems she blamed on *me*, calling me names etc... Such a fine lady. Anyway, I'm attaching the file below. Posted on 30 November 2010 à 17h01 Okay... I've looked into this file and, hmm... It's doing something I'm already doing in our fork's hook code... i.e. properly save permanent hooks into the database, rather than all current active hooks. Funny though, they're using one extra database query for that. Waste of server resources... They could have done it our way -- keep at all times a list of both registered and unregistered hooks, and just manipulate the unregistered list when adding a non-permanent hook. Uh. Anyway, I don't think this patch would fix anything in this case.

I found your other post that explains more about the fork and I am anticipating it. I also read that PortaMx has no interest... I hope this may change its also a good package. What exactly does it have that other portals don't? Anyway Keep up the good work, having the gallery and forum in one package will make updating much easier.  Well, the point is to have modders use the plugin system as much as possible. So as to make upgrading the forum even less of a pain. We'll see about that... Also just a side question how much data base changes are expected? are the tables going to be relatively the same or totally different? Relatively the same. I'd say 95% will be the same. It's still SMF... We're just exposing what it can truly do.

Can you explain the FORK in the software? Well, there's a topic for that in this board. Doesnt this mean that this will go away for SMF users? You can still use it. But I said many months ago that I wouldn't release new versions of AeMe 1.x, only security fixes if anything wrong is found... Weren't you around at the time? I have to admit that SMF is just a forum but with AEVA it make a really good package. Half the stuff that I do on my forum would not be possible with out it. Yeah, I believe Aeva can be a strong selling point for the forum package... I could even envision people installing our fork just to enable the gallery, no forum. And yes, Aeva will be ported to the fork, and I will focus on developing it on the fork. Does this mean I won't work on AeMe2 for SMF? I don't know. The problem is, if you're serious about SMF, there's no way you're going to get away without using our fork. I'm not saying this because of ego issues -- I've been on it for 3 months and it's so incredibly better than SMF2 right now. It loads faster, it's less buggy, it's just plain good. I'm proud of my work on it, and I'm proud of Pete's work. And we're not finished yet. Porting AeMe to the fork was a given to me. Because the only way I can get rid of AeMe's remaining bugs *and* ensure it can be improved in the future is by using the new platform. AeMe by itself will be more and more intertwined with the fork's inner layers. So, basically, there's nothing to worry about. Im really not wanting to put my users through a complete website change. It's a fork, it's not new software. It'll have a SMF converter so you can import the site easily. Your theme, if it's a custom one, will have to be ported. But the new styling system will make life so much easier for themers... Anyway, if you're not happy with the situation, you're free not to bother. I'm not asking anything from anyone. Just because AeMe is becoming better, doesn't mean you HAVE to upgrade it. You can keep using it as it is... It's not like it became shitty software overnight.

No problem. Feel free to keep me up to date if someone mentions this topic (which should hopefully happen  ) over there!

Well... What THINGS you can find when you're looking! http://portamx.com/topic_2126.msg12132.html#msg12132spoogs, you should have told me about it. I would have made this topic public much earlier, just to make things clear. Seriously, what a jerk she can be! Accusing me of attempting to sell AeMe by planting bugs into the free version! Hello!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY SALES! How many times will I have to say it?! And she's trying to give "corporate talk" eh! Well, when you're trying to be corporate, you start by avoiding to put the blame on others and say they're thieves! You start by not being a jerk, and making sure you're not going to bullshit everyone!

Just for the record... I didn't reply here because the guy also PM'ed me. So I replied to him by PM, I don't know why. Of course I haven't seen him back since the very moment he read my reply. Not even a "thank you, I'll do that". Sometimes I really don't know why I'm wasting my time with people who won't do things properly...  For the record, here's my proper PM reply. so I'll try to be more specific.
Every time we upload a photographic location, we also put a KMZ file as an attachment.
since I don't know aeva lite or aeva comm. I was wondering if its possible to generate a google map in the page we make an upload by use of the attached KMZ file? (I mean a map based on the coordinates or the included kmz file witch shows a pinpoint on the map of the location, not sure what you mean by it generates thumbnails?
my question has nothing to do with pictures, I just want a google map in every post we make
Is aeva comm. capable to do this? Yes, it's possible to do that. However, AeMe doesn't do it currently. This is because it turns Google Maps links into remote embeds, while a KMZ file would be a local embed. Same function called to show the map, but different code path.
What I mean is that it can probably be done but I don't have plans to.so the only thing i want to know is aeva comm.capable to generate a google map in the post, Yes.in other words will there be a map rendered in the post like it do with an attached image file?.
I suppose I'll need a google map api key also for this to work? Hmm... To generate the thumbnail, no, you don't need one. And I don't think you need one either for the map in itself. Unless you want to show a pin in the map, in which case yeah you'll probably need one... But it's been a long time since I played with that.

Feline: "Any other copyright that linked to the SMF copright is destroy by aeva if it's true what I have read..." She hasn't read ANYTHING, she's just being a cunt at that point. Seriously, WHO ever said that of Aeva or Aeva Media? Also, who is this Autopilot who claims he's using AeMe 2.1 but isn't registered here?
Now to hartiberlin... You're an interesting case. Playing in both teams, right? Aren't you ashamed of promoting SMF Gallery? Didn't you read my comments about vbgamer? May I ask you why you've been using Aeva Media AT ALL at some point? And this? http://portamx.com/topic_2118.msg12282.html#msg12282Of course the one release that 'fixes' your problem, and you don't have time to install it... What's your problem exactly? More than that -- my fix actually removes my copyright code. You should be HAPPY that I'm not bothering my customers with more and more copyrights. You should be happy that there are developers who are concerned about "selling out", and would rather refund someone when it's really getting too complicated, than look like someone who'd do anything to keep your money. I don't care about money! Right? I'm happy that I'm still making some, and if I didn't get any, I'd probably stop work on AeMe entirely, but I'm not asking anyone for it. It's also interesting that you should claim you precisedly "offered money" for me to fix your problem, when you never did! Or you claim that AeMe doesn't support watermarking when I gave you two weeks ago the steps to do it!I never said no to helping you modify the template. I only said I wouldn't do it for money! There's a DIFFERENCE! And as far as I know, YOU stopped updating me on what you were trying to do. What, did you expect me to just guess what you wanted, rework the layout and send it to you and ask if everything's okay? No. So I figured that you understood my hints and applied them and you were happy with them. Would you rather send me money to praise me? Is that it? You pay vbgamer45 $80 for his crapshoot (SMF Gallery + video 'plugin'), of course he can afford to help you with a quick rewrite ahah... Although you pretty much know in advance that his work will suck (his "layouts" are probably the most obviously BAD part of his work, given that it immediately shows to the user and you don't have to dig into his dirty code.) So -> $80 for him, $20 for me and you're complaining that I'm not doing your template rewrite when (1) it's not my job, you paid for AeMe, not for YOUR AeMe, (2) I actually offered to help FOR FREE. Well, let me guess... You're a jerk, too!

You know what?
Feline has said too much crap about me in my back.
She deserves that this topic is made public. So here it is.
Now you can republish my replies to her over there, and she can't argue that they're "private messages" (yeah, keep going, nobody will notice your censorship issues.)

I care that it's successful, myself -- but not for me, because it will mean more support to give. Only because the fork is built in such a manner that people WILL benefit from using it rather than SMF. It'll be simpler healthier to use. So it's desirable to have as many people as possible use it.
The software you're talking about is Mambo. It's still fairly known, I believe they've ported many of Joomla's features back to the fold.

Well, with Fel I believe these were only misunderstandings,
cause she does not speak English so well and she is a German as me. She won't even admit that her English sucks. Her pride is misplaced. Also she said, that she can not post email correspondance publically,
because of legal problems in German law. Were that true -- there's no email conversation or anything to begin with. What she was referring to, was my post here... Which when pasted over there, was *deleted*. Because it implied that she has bad judgment. BTW, her PortaMX company has another women as her partner and a few
freelance works. Is she called "the girl in my mirror"? They are doing software consulting for bigger companies. Big companies like PortaMx Corporation?  Fel is the CEO who is devoting now all her time to
develop the PortaMX portal software most of her time. I'm pretty sure a "bigger company" wouldn't let her spend her time on a hobby. She will soon release PortaMX 1.0 with great new features. I got it that you're a fan, but what I see is that she's blaming me before even looking at my code. Doesn't sound like she wants to be friendly. Well, as long as your fork is not out yet and when it is out and there are missing
functions, that the SMF2.0RC4 and a few other MODs combination can give me,
I would not change to your fork
as needed functions (Mods) are missing. I'm not asking you to switch to my fork. Did I ever ask anyone to do that? Why would I ask anyone to do that? I'm making this fork because it was killing me not to be able to improve SMF just because it's managed by a bunch of morons. So, I'm putting my heart into it. Whether people use it or not doesn't matter. "If it doesn't work, use SMF." I don't even need to keep it compatible. And it won't be.

Feline has posted a fix on her PortaMX forum. Well, I did post a fix earlier last week, too... Nao, are you still going to fully support RC4 with your paid version ? I never technically said AeMe2 supports RC4. It works on my RC4, that's all I can say... And portaMx is not part of RC4, either. As RC4 came out after your AEVA 2.04 there are probably still more incompatibilities now ? Nope... Don't you remember that my tests are done on noisen.com, which was always up to date? (Well, it's no longer going to be the case since the SMF team kindly kicked me out of the beta team after years of good service. Fuck 'em.)

Why would you have to be sorry ? It seems that this "bug" or whatever breaks up a lot of feelings between you and fel.
Where do you see that? I just didn't have time to look into the problem... And when I finally devoted a few minutes to it, I saw Fel's post about my "bad programming practices". It shows two things at the time: she hasn't ever looked into any of my code, and she doesn't have a problem criticizing something she's never looked into. At least, I don't comment on PortaMx... Because you know what? I never looked into it! I understand, that you are an busy "student", but i bought your Foxy Addon eg.
So i'm not a totally free customer btw. Student? I'm 35, you must be mistaken... Yes, if you're posting here you're a 'customer', but still, I think I provide more than enough support for what is essentially a passtime by now. Really, I spent two years providing free support to hundreds of people. Unpaid. Then I released Foxy and I sold 15 copies in a year or so. When I decided to turn Foxy into AeMe2, I suddenly started selling a lot of copies. So what I'm selling here, is not new features (since Foxy didn't sell), it's not even support (since I never used that as leverage for getting more users), it's a promise that I'll keep working on AeMe in the future. I guess. I don't feel myself obliged to help users, whether paying or not. If someone is an ass to me, I'll be an ass to them. If someone is nice to me, and I just happen to be reading, I'll be devoting time to them. Non-paid customers, well -- same deal, only they PM me and I have the liberty to ignore them entirely. Anyway... No hard feelings, but please don't start mentioning things like that in a way that feels like you're asking me for respect. You have my respect, but not because you bought my software a year ago. You have it simply because I believe respect is not something you earn. It's something you should have from day one, and then risk losing.

And no, the team will never integrate Aeva into 2.0 gold (yes, we read the Aeva thread), I don't much ( ). I did read it these last few days because of all the links, but I don't have a permatab to sm.org, like I used to. Really, I haven't been on the SMF boards much these last few weeks/months. If there are things that I should be made aware of, please share! not only because the team feels it's bloat, Yeah, they should use SMF Gallery instead, it's not bloat, as the bloat already exploded long ago. It's just a mess now  but that Nao would never give it to them, no matter how much they asked. Unless they're willing to pay, ahah... But then they're better off buying our fork altogether! How much would you settle on, Pete? Would 10 million euros be enough? 55/45 if they get AeMe in the process? Yeah, I think that'd be a fair price for our work + 2 years of getting crushed. It's barely more expensive than france.fr, my country's official website -- the small logo is apparently worth 28.5K¤ (yes), and the website's design a whooping 100K¤. (I'm not kidding you. Apparently, "fugly" is the new black.) (And no, we would never join the team, not that they'd ever invite us. Even when Nao was a 'consulting dev', they'd already voted not to let him in but made him 'an apprentice' anyway just to use him for the help he'd give.) For what it's worth, they could hold a vote to give me the finger, or to say they're sorry they had to boot me off the website, I don't give a shit about their team thinks, votes, lies about, or whatever. They went hostile on us in a very official manner, so we're not going to bend over and smile. Kindred's recently proven he'd rather lie over a lie ("I didn't lie, I just changed my mind and forgot about it"), just to save 'reputation', than make a move to more understanding between us. Great choice. They chose their position, they imposed it to us, so unless they have 10M¤ under the hand, they've pretty much lost the fight because what they're fighting is something they haven't had for a LONG time in their team: two competent and motivated developers. And you know how you give motivation to competent developers? By inviting them, first, and at least giving what they say some credit. Just because you think someone's idea is great, doesn't make you stupid for not having thought of it. Eh.

I don't think I'll make this topic public for now, but as I can't let her censorship go unnoticed and unpunished, I'd appreciate it if someone among you go repost my long "pseudo-PM" (ah ah) in answer to her post over at http://www.simplemachines.org/...c=200401.msg2851583#msg2851583 -- thanks!
