@highlander, @juju: I think the "Remember me" problem is fixed. At least I can not reproduce it again. If it occurs again, please let me know.

@andybot: The sketchUcation site uses 2 engines: PhpBB for the forums and Joomla for all the other content including the shop. These two systems are using their own session and authentication system what are bridged together so you have to register only at one system and you have to log in only to one of the systems and then you're logged in to both.

For performance reasons the session timeout (the time while the system keeps you logged in after your last activity) is set to 60 minutes. If in any of the systems the inactivity exceeds that time, that system will log you out. That is what is happening when after a long-term activity in the forums you go to the shop and you find yourself logged out. So it is the nature of this kind of bridged system we have. There might be a way to let one system know about the activity in the other but that requires a deeper intervention in the authentication systems. Maybe one day with the next version of the site we will make it.

@highlander, @juju: I could reproduce the phenomena with the forum part now. So if I use a direct link to the forums sometimes it won't remember me. Never happened if first I went to the main sketchucation site. Am I right that it is only happening with direct link to the forums? If yes, I'll try to fix it.

@juju: I've checked the "remember me" function and it is working for me. Are you sure your browser is not set to erase cookies when you close it?

@highlander: If you try to reply to a post when you're not logged in then you're re-directed to the login page. About the not logged in status: Did you check the "Remember me" checkbox? Are you sure that your browser is not set to erase cookies on closing it?

@juju: We will investigate and fix it if necessary.

Version 2.6.1 gets the list of downloaded plugins from the server. So the "downloads" TAB shows what is stored in the downloads log of the server about the user's downloads. Then this list is filtered and only those plugins of this list is shown in the "Installs" list what are really installed on the actual hardware at the moment. This filtering is done by using the names of the .rb files on the local machine.

@shake1: Thank you for the answers. We are looking for the possible cause. Will let you know if we have any other questions or if we have the fix for it.

i wish there was a "logout feature"

Collecting the good ideas for the next release. Log out feature is one of them.

If I understand well, you manually copied the plugins from one machine to an other.

V2.6.1 uses the download list to identify which plugins were autoinstalled. So one way to "re-educate" it is to autoinstall those plugins you want to see in your download list. It also ensures that you will have the latest version.

The current version of the plugin has no log out feature. I'll PM you a method what will let you to log in with an other account.

@shake1: PM was sent to you.

@matt.gordon320: Thank you for the good ideas. You might see these features in the 3.0 version coming soon.

Thank you for checking it.

Thanks again Thomthom. Maybe there is a function to get a reference to a "Text" object as well??? I was searching the web for hours for it when I came to the conclusion that it was missing from the C SDK.

I camera isn't an entity - so it doesn't belong to entities.

In the Ruby API you get Camera objects from View and Page.

In the C API there is no View object, but you get the view's camera from model:
SUModelGetCamera
http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/su-api/model_8h.html#a8820108ec3ba3ebf849d249845eeab34

...and from scenes (what used to be named Pages a long time ago in SketchUp)
http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/su-api/scene_8h_source.html

Thank you very much Thomthom. It is great help to me. I was searching the documentation for phrases like "getcamera" in vain.

The get and set functions defined in camera.h require a reference to the camera object (type: SUCameraRef). Any idea how to get this reference from the model file?

(I can't find anything in entities.h to get the camera(s))

I received an email from one of the forum members in England. He hasn't been able to access this website for over a week. He gets the following error page. Anyone have any information or advice I can forward to him?

Could you please PM me a contact info to him? Or ask him to try to empty his browser cache? It must be either a cache issue or a corrupted entry of him in one of our session tables. To find it out we would need to contact him.

Thank you AdamB. I did add the path of the downloaded .dll and .lib to the VS library search path.
Somewhere I read that character encoding differences could cause such error messages. So I also tried to change the project's encoding settings without any luck....

EDIT: Thank you. SUCCESS!!! (Well it was a missing reference to the lib... )

I'm trying to compile and build the "Reading from a .skp file" example found at http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/su-api/

What I did:

1. Installed Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express
2. Downloaded the SDK
3. Created a blank Win32 Console app and copied the example into it.
4. Among the project settings set the location for the sdk header and lib files.
5. Added #include "stdafx.h" as the first line of the example code.
6. Tried to build.
7. Got a list of errors:

========== Build; 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

The error messages obviously refer to the implementation of these functions are not found in the library files. I tried to copy the SDK libraries (.lib, .dll) to any directory I could imagine in the search path but still got the same error list on build.

Any ideas what needs to be done to successfully compile and build the example?

Getting URL not found.

2.5.2???? Ages ago obsolete version. Could you please download and install the new (2.6) version from http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download

Server-side problem fixed, please re-try. A browser cache erase might be necessary.

Thank you for cheching. It seems we have an issue at server side. Will let you know when it is fixed.
