The only issue I have is with the CMS, If i use the BB code and place the media tag into an article in the cms i get a border appear around title in both the preview and the full page, how would i either adjust this border or remove it?? Any help will be greatly appreciated :)
bbcode is handled by the template: 8WR_media_bbcode

Feel free to edit it as you wish.

You misunderstand, I meant in the JS file.

If you wrap PHP.urlencode() around
Code:
fetch_object('vB_Editor_QR_textarea').value
it will work, as the screenshots demonstrate.

I don't know what charset you use on your development board since you say it works for you without PHP.urlencode(), but French and Norwegian characters are included in the ISO-8859-1 encoding so they don't require UTF-8 to work.

Hope that helps :)

Error messages are there for a reason, to inform you that there was an error.
No offence, but I must disagree quite strongly with this.

Wrapping function_exists() around your function declaration (which I have already empirically proven will cause errors in specific scenarios through no fault in anybody's code) simply means that if the function exists, the code will continue to work 100% as intended with no degradation or ill effects whatsoever.

The only specific scenario where having a re-declare message would be beneficial is if two mods attempted to use the same function name, which should never happen because all mods should name their functions in such a way that it's uniquely tied to their mod.

So yeah, I don't find a single reason why a function declaration that's happening in a place that may very well be executed multiple times should not be wrapped in function_exists().
Alternatively, it would be possible to put the function declaration in a file of its own, and then use require_once().
It'd have the same effect, more or less :)

I've found hundreds of websites all discussing the issue of urlencoding in JavaScript and how there is no real match to the PHP function. They all go into these long winded functions in order to fix the problem, talking about issues of escaping etc... and not ONE of them mentions this PHP.urlencode function. In fact, I can't even find any documentation on the internet that this function exists... which is bizarre, since it clearly works. PHP and JavaScript can't even be used at the same time because PHP is server side and JavaScript is client side. So in order for this function to work, it has to exist in JavaScript. So I guess my next question is, WHY? Why do none of these other articles mention this function? What is the downside? Is there a performance issue? Backwards compatibility? It seems like such a simple fix, while escape() just creates more problems...

BTW, I use UTF-8... and many of the people who've I've convinced to switch to UTF-8 have all reported to me that their forums are faster than ever... I just recently had shoryuken.com switch over and even their users are happy about it.

It's a function vBulletin creates in their JS files, to solve just the problems you mention :)

There's no downsides that I'm aware of.

vBulletin itself isn't 100% UTF-8 compatible, though.
I can't comment on speed increases, never tried it tbh.

At any rate, it shouldn't be necessary to make them switch when it can work via that simple function, no? :)

Ah... well that explains it, thanks. As for UTF-8, there actually is a reason to use it with this mod. This mod pulls in XML data from external sources, and UTF-8 is the first and foremost supported character set for the XML standard. I guess I'll just set this mod to force UTF-8 on the XML queries, instead of pulling in vbulletin's charset.

That makes sense I guess, though I believe (but I may very well be mistaken) that vBulletin's XML parser handles differences in encoding.

If only the entire interwebs ran off of utf-8...

Ok Thanks, Being that i'm by no means a coder, how should I edit it though? All I see in the template are padding settings, Is that border supposed to be like that as Im getting the border in all styles, especially vb4's default..


PHP Code:
<div class="bbcode_container">
    <div class="bbcode_quote">
        <div class="quote_container" style="padding: 10px; text-align: center;">
            <vb:if condition="$error">
                {vb:var error}
            <vb:else />
                <div style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><b><a href="{vb:var media.href}">{vb:raw media.title}</a></b></div>
                {vb:raw media.embed}
                <div style="padding-top: 10px;"><a href="{vb:var media.href}">{vb:var media.href}</a></div>
            </vb:if>
        </div>
    </div>
</div

Unfortunately I'm experiencing this error again, and I thought it was fixed a couple of days ago. When I click on the thumb to view the video all I get is the title and not the player. I do have the latest version uploaded, had this issue before and clicked the "Click here to restore all services in the "/media/xml" directory to their default settings." and it fixed it before. Now - nothing :(

I don't know where to start to figure it out. Any thoughts?

I'm back to this as well. As per my earlier posts, I put up with the insulting and abrupt 'user error' post when I made a genuine mistake. But it seems there's something fundamentally wrong with this mod, as that's twice now without any intervention on my part that it's simply stopped working.

I did the upgrade the other day as requested, but now when I try and view a vid I'm getting the following all over again:

Not Found

The requested URL /fiat/upload/media/m1-starsailor-four-to-the-floor was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It's interesting to note also that all the permissions in the ACP were reset.

I can't duplicate this error... make sure you revert your templates.

It looks like you are using a database backup? Install the mod, then load up your database backup, but DO NOT drop the tables first. 0.9 adds some new columns to the service table, and if you are dropping your tables before you import your backup, you will revert these new columns.

Turn off the media bbcode. Its conflicting with another mod.

Yes, permissions on the ACP get reset when you uninstall... I have no idea how to fix this. I've posted about it on the programming forum, but I haven't received a single response. As for the 404 error, you are trying to use htaccess redirect, but you dont have it. Turn off SEO slugging.

Martyn1983 05-16-2010 09:23 PM
All that's good and well, but the crux of the problem is that, once again, the mod has effectively turned itself off!

When I reinstalled I set up all the various usergroup permissions again. Everything was fine and dandy, and now it's not. And I've no idea why.

Hmmmm... curious as to why it would happen now though when it was working before. Haven't needed to do a revert after upgrading versions of this mod yet. I just don't understand the need is all.

But I'll give the revert a shot. First can you clarify something for me. I'm working off of a child style that I've made some changes to. Do I revert the parent? I'm thinking if I revert the child, I'll lose all the custom changes I made... or am I wrong?

Well 4.0.9 changed the way embed codes are handled. So unless you revert your 8WR_media_details template, you won't be able to handle the new embed codes. So yes, you're going to lose your custom changes.

Oh... do I just revert that template? If so how? I thought I had to revert all templates of a style.

awesome mod, however I have a small issue, my generated thumbnails are of big ass size (pixel wise) 480px ? 360px example: http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/customVID/thumbs/4.jpg

However I notice that this website have small thumbs: http://aogamers.com/forums/customVID/thumbs/60.jpg how i can tweak this thumb size setting? I am not seeing any option in the admincp related to media thumb size :S

Thanks,

Inferno Dragon 05-17-2010 01:09 PM
^ Nope that's not the correct option, these options are for changing the layout of the media library like with "tiny bit" no addition infomation like category, uploader etc will be diplayed below thumbnail and vice versa.

I am talking about actually physically decreaseing the generated thumbnail size like that site has done which I posted in the example

Edit: I found the problem, when I changed the image settings in the vbulletin settings from imagemagick (I was using it) to GD it fixed the problem and now thumbs are working fine, I also notice that in the code author has disabled the imagemagick library..IMO isn't imagemagick generate more sharper thumbs?

ID, you are correct, the problem is I dont know how to resize images with ImageMagick. The code I have there SHOULD work, but it doesn't. It breaks SRK, so I disabled it until I can fix it.

Jaxel, I'm curious... can I just revert the 8WR_media_details template as you said above? I've tried to select it in the list and click revert but the button isn't active. Am I missing something or do I have to revert the entire child style, thus losing any modifications to the style I've made? Which is something I just don't want to go through. Having to go back and redo all the little tweeks I've made over time is a PITA.

VB has a built in COMPARE function. Use that to determine what has changed in the embed code, and update your customized style to suit the new embed system.
