Links and Downloads Manager

[airheadairbrush]

Andrew sense upgrading to 3.0.2 LDM after upgrading the forum to VB4 the videos no longer play on the JWPlayer when you click on a video link a box comes up OPEN WITH or save. They used to just play in the JWPlayer (FLV files)

Can you point me in the direction of how to correct this.

[shyguy82]

Trying to configure it and no matter what option I change and try to save settings I get The file(s) uploaded were too large to process.

I'm running vB 4 on Windows (IIS with FastCGI, I don't think Document_Root issue applies here). I've tried DownloadsII and it works but I wanted to try this mod as well to see which one is better suited for my site and for some reason I can't do it.

Andrew, can you shed some light here, I've tried setting the upload_dir and all other settings but I get that messages when I try to save it.

Hi Andrew

If I want to add new links in LDM I get this Error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/httpd/vhosts/heilpaedagogikplus.ch/httpdocs/testforum/includes/local_links_include.php(2133) : eval()'d code on line 642

How can I correct it?

Also the Plugin webthumbs doesn't function (I've made the needed directories and with a 777). Easywebthumbs works but i want to save the thumbs on my server. How to bring it works?

Thanks a lot for help

This error is being generated by the vbulletin infrastucture before it gets into LDM. I've not seen it before (it seems to relate to a check introduced in vb4.0). Does your server have the Suhosin module installed? This module is sensitive to the number of settings being transferred.

I am happy to take a look at your site, but will need full vb admin access.

[AndrewD]

when JWplayeris is active :

I can enter in the categorie, there is this error :

I think you have installed the 'flashsites' extra without also uploading the php code that this extra needs to run. It's in the includes subdirectory of the extra.

thanks, I haven't the error now. But the video doesn't start when I clic play. The mp3 start when I clic on play.

I use the jwplayer inline.

[AndrewD]

Hi AndrewD,

Found a little issue and proberly it has something to do with wrong settings within my forum....

In the downloads the uploaded picture is showing, but in the automated postings on the forum itself the picture isn't display, it comes with the wrong url

hxxp://www.xxxxx.eu/forum/forum.php/UpLoads/imageuploads/211712678157878840.jpg

As you see there is a forum.php within the url.

Do you have any idea how this can be fixed ?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Marcel

I can't persuade this to go wrong for me ;) Can you reinstate my admin account on your site so that I can take a look?

[AndrewD]

thanks, I haven't the error now. But the video doesn't start when I clic play. The mp3 start when I clic on play.

I use the jwplayer inline.

One problem is that your web server is running out of memory. It is only allowing your site to use 64MByte, and playing the video seems to need more that that. I don't know why.

The php setting on your server is memory_limit. Can you get this increased?

I don't know if this is the only problem - we have to take this a step at a time.

Hello,

It's updated smoothly. Thank you for the great plugin AndrewD.

I seem to have forgotten some configuration. I have a writable upload directory, and to keep it tidy I also have subdirectories in that for several categories. That worked smoothly in the past and it still does. But I added a new category and want a new subdir for that. I can't find the place to change it. As far as I recall it was simply edit Category/Control settings Section Managing file uploads. But I only see en/disable and filetype settings there.

[angeljs]

I'm still receiving the following error on my forum home if I try to enable recent,random etc entries on forumhome:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ldm_load_bitcache() in /home/******/public_html/forums/includes/local_links_include.php on line 349

[AndrewD]

Hello,

It's updated smoothly. Thank you for the great plugin AndrewD.

Thanks for pointing out the bug. It's obvious to me now when I stare at the code. Will update the release zip shortly so that others don't fall over this.

You are right, this was an option in edit categry with ldm versions 2.x. For some reason, I made the upload directory a global setting-only for version 3.x. I don't think there was any underlying need for that change so I will restore the option when I reupload the zip. Grateful if you can then test/report ok.

Thanks for the report. Will be fixed in the next upload, perhaps later today or early next week. In meantime, you can patch if you want by adding


require_once(DIR . '/includes/local_links_bitcache.php');


immediately before line 349 in includes/local_links_include.php, which reads:


ldm_load_bitcache();

[AndrewD]

Your details are in your PM box :)

Thanks

OK, I understand what's going on. There was always a potential problem, but it did not become likely until vb4.x, where the homeurl setting on the admincp is much more likely to be a full url.

Will be soon fixed in the next upload.

[AndrewD]

I use the jwplayer inline.

I have made some minor changes on your site and I think you will find that the video now plays/downloads correctly.

From checking on Google and your site, there seems to be a bug in php 5.2.11 (the version which you are using) that causes a problem when streaming very large video files with limited memory. I will try to get further information on whether this has been fixed in a later version of php and let you know the solution.

[AndrewD]

Uploaded version 3.0.2 patch level 1, which (I hope) fixes all reported bugs. No longer considered "beta".

Let me know if I've messed up....

[E.T.]

Perfect AndrewD, this has solved the issue on my forum.

Thanks

[obmob]

Oh, thanks Andrew! :)

[abdelghani68]

Thanks for the update. Is it possible to use jw player inline and in the jukebox it's wimpy player ?

And is it possible to use a background in the page of the jukebox ?

[karkey]

Hello
I have just installed this
However i get the following Via Admin CP (see attached image)

I have looked for permissions settings via
1.vb default options
2.usergroup permissions

Both which i cannot find any options

[karkey]

Edit that i needed to the the default administrator :)

[obmob]

You mean you are not the admin? Never happened to me, maybe Andrew has more nifo karkey.

[AndrewD]

Edit that i needed to the the default administrator :)

You can configure LDM to let any usergroups be admins. Take a look at includes/local_links_init.php for the following lines:


// This defines the usergroups that can access the LDM admin pages
// Usergroup 6 is the default vBulletin admininstrators' group
// If you want to give access to more than one usergroup, use a comma-separated list
// for example define('ADMIN_USER_GROUP', '5,6,7');

define('ADMIN_USER_GROUP', '6');


and edit as required.

[karkey]

Thanks Andrew

however the look of the system, i do prefer Downloads II.
If any progress is made on how your system looks over the time by the user, i may switch back

[Ophelia]

grrr, I know I posted, but it doesn't appear it stuck.

Andrew, what do we need to do to configure it so that my designers, when they upload, can schedule their downloads for a specific date? Right now, whatever I have set, is not allowing them. They aren't able to pick hidden either. Thanks!

These seem to work ok on my test system. Shall I take a look at your site? Send me a PM if so.

Concerning the pre-loading - have you set an expiry date for the categories in question? Recall that the scheduling functions when the category's entries will then subequently expire at a later date.

Concerning the hidden entries, have you given your designers 'can_view_hidden' permission?

How do you make a module for vbadvanced that works with LDM?
I tried to add a php file module (ldm_new.php) but a get an error:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: adv_portal_custom_ldm_new in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3932


What do you think?

I have not rewritten the LDM vba modules to work with vbulletin 4, and I'm not sure when I will manage to do so. The error you report is related to the (quite fundamental) changes that have been made to vbulletin coding practices between vb3 and 4, so the starting point has to be to understand these changes (and also any changes in vbadvanced). If you want to try to code this yourself, you could try comparing the LDM releases 2.3.0 and 3.0.x.

I think it will be very good if we can read the files pdf inline. I don't know if it's possible with an extra. maybe integrate scribd. But the inconviant we must upload the files in this site.

I need a little help hiding the tab so my users can't see it while I'm working on it. I found a post that said the following

"Sure - go to vb/admin/products and plugins/plugin manager and disable the plugin Links and Downloads Manager - Add LDM to main vBulletin menu. That will hide the tab except when you are already inside LDM."

Can someone tell me how to add LDM to the main vBulletin menu? Thank you!

LDM should add itself automatically to the main vbulletin menu.

The LDM wiki (see sig, section Installing LDM) explains how to configure things so that only certain usergroups, etc, see this menu item.

Andrew, another issue has cropped up. I removed the tab from the menu as you suggested, but now I can't make any changes to LDM. When I go to my ACP and click on Settings in the Links and Downloads section, I get a screen that shows up and says "Only administrators can access this page". I am both an Administrator and the Super Admin. However, as soon as I make the tab visible again, I'm then able to make changed through ACP. Here's a pic of the screen I'm getting:

Thanks for spotting this. To fix it, edit local_links_admin.php and find the line (about line 673)

// Main Administration Functions

and insert the following immediately before it:

ldm_map_perms_to_show(-1);

This fix will be included in the next release.

[Jason92s]

That fixed it so that I can run the admin part of LDM within ACP, but I can't add new categories. I'm no programmer, but it appears that when the link (mine is called Business Directory) is gone, so are the submenus that control being able to add new categories. See the two pictures below for examples:

[Jason92s]

I'd really like to get this working but can't without working on it while my users can view the tab. Anyone know if I can redirect the link so that it just takes them to the forums or something until I'm ready to go live? Thanks.

Unfortunately, this problem is caused by the design of the underlying vbulletin code, not by LDM. I'm sympathetic to your problem, but I can't justify spending a considerable time rewriting their code. Can you not just disable your forums while you do what is necessary (vb/admincp)?

[Jason92s]

Thanks Andrew. Disabling is out of the question as we are getting just way too much traffic. What about a way to temporarily change the URL for the button itself?

[Jason92s]

One final question Andrew then I'll stop bugging you. Can you tell me what goes in the box that's shaded in the attached image? Is it just filler? Seems like it takes up quite a bit of space and I wanted to know if I could either put my own text in there or remove it completely? Thank you.

You report that this only happens with Firefox. Attached is a screenshot from my PC viewing your site after performing in a search with no results. I have tried Firefox versions 3.5.9 and 3.6.3. You will see that everything seems ok. Which version of Firefox are you using?

This box is used for two purposes - firstly (within categories but not at the top level) to contain the full category description, and secondly (at all levels) to contain information messages such as allowances, automatic thread announcement, required user actions, etc, all of which depend on what you have configured. If none of these apply, the box should be very narrow. The large size you are observing is caused by a bug which I somehow introduced during the conversion to vb 4. I will attempt to fix it.

I will be adding the facility for sites to add their own text to the box in the next release - several others have asked about this.

[AndrewD]

Thanks Andrew. Disabling is out of the question as we are getting just way too much traffic. What about a way to temporarily change the URL for the button itself?

If the only feature you are missing when the menu is disabled is "add category" you can get round this by going directly to the following url:

yoursite/forum/local_links.php?action=addcat&catid=NN

Replace NN as follows:

-1 if you want to add to the base category
the category id (e.g. 4) if you want to add a subcategory to category 4

You can always find out the category id by hovering the mouse over the relevant category name link

Now, there isn't the problem. I don't know what I have do for I have this problem.

Use the vb/admincp/languages and phrases/search in phrases

Search for the phrase called ldm_vbmenu_ldm (remember to check the box Phrase Variable Name Only).

Edit the phrase contents as you wish and save

This looks like an excellent product. If someone has developed an fairly extensive "links only to external site" format (no downloads), could you please advise the URL (PM is fine) so that I can see what the layout might look like?

Also, if you use it as a links directory, is it possible to load links directly via mysql or would they need some sort of processing by the product before they are usable?

Thanks. -- Rik

It's quite possible to preload the database via mysql, or equally by an xml file. Obviously you need to get the format/table structure correct.

I just upgraded my dev system from 4.02 to 4.03 and I am not seeing any permissions problems. Can you be a little more specific about what isnt working for you?


On a different note, I just noticed after upgrading to 4.03 that in IE8, the LDM navigation menus are not 'on top'. Appears to be fine in Firefox and Chrome....



Bah... I figured it out. Thanks again Microsoft... Compatibility mode strikes again. Made sure IE Compatibility mode didn't invoke for my 'intranet" sites. That resolved the funky layering issue.

[airheadairbrush]

I PM Andrew the spec.

Categories in LDM are set to forum-based permissions system
sense upgrading it no longer works, I've gone over it ten times can't get it to work like it did

members who should have access based on forum-based permissions don't have access

[m_elsweify]

after upgrade, Allowances system not work fine
i can set Allowances by Bytes, but when set it by files
say 1 file for Registered Users every day ,when i Press go button to apply my setting
its back unchecked and not work.
then i upgrade to 3.2 pl1 and same problem.
help plz

Hi,
i like this mod, think it?s a very good one, but a little bit to complicate for me. So i uninstalled and now, i?m getting errors like this, when i try to change group-permissions:

Unknown column 'bfc_download' in 'field list'

I uploaded kill LDM, it said all database-tables were removed, but what about this error?

Hope, somebody can help me,

Andrew, I'm going to need you to take a look and see what I'm doing wrong. I have upgraded to the latest version, but designers are still unable to schedule. They have "can view hidden" enabled.

links_expiry_days is set to 999999

But the

I think this app is abandoned. Over 1 month an no sign of developer.

[Alfa1]

Andrew has passed away on April 22nd after a long illness.
His obituary can be found here:
http://www.eirma.org/activities/Obituary.pdf

I assume that this likely means the end of his popular Links and Downloads Manager. It has always been my impression that LDM was a work of art that Andrew devoted a substantial amount of time/years to. He was quite dedicated to the creation and development of LDM.

[juzernie]

my condolences. :( ldm was a great product.

[hydn]

wow. I wanted to suggest in post as he's NEVER missing. I'm really sorry to hear this. My mother passed last June. Death is so terrible.

[janaf]

This was a sad reminder of where we are all are going.

I am new to LDM and was just about to install. LDM looks to me like and excellent project with a devoted developer, always fast in responding.

I hope it is not out of place to ask the admins here to edit the "About Developer" page and project page and other AndrewD personal pages to reflect the grim reality, and to avoid any missunderstandings about the situation.

[obmob]

I was hoping that this illness was gone since Andrew came back and was giving us his comments and support as usual. Such a strong man and friend who always improved this nice mod.

The best support you will ever had in a free mod was all that Andrew did for us in the past years, thanks to him for letting us have a glance of his person. r.i.p.

Hope someone in vb.org is willing to take on this project, unfortunately i'm not suited to do it.

The best to all.

[Ophelia]

This really saddens me. I had several chances to talk to Andrew during the years and he was a delightful and wonderful person. His wonderful attitude will be very much missed.

[SoltanWorld]

r.i.p andrew :( he was the best

I really hope someone picks up on this project. My own knowledge level is way too low so I'd surely do more harm than good.

I can see that in the PT (Project Tools) group, which was released a few weeks ago, now 10+ new developers joined. Hopefully someone can initiate something like that with the LDM too, so that Andrews project can continue and not just fade away.

[Alphaforums.com]

R.I.P. Andrew.
We won't forget you.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Andrew has passed away on April 22nd after a long illness.
His obituary can be found here:
http://www.eirma.org/activities/Obituary.pdf

I assume that this likely means the end of his popular Links and Downloads Manager. It has always been my impression that LDM was a work of art that Andrew devoted a substantial amount of time/years to. He was quite dedicated to the creation and development of LDM.

Just heard the news such a shame RIP

[SoltanWorld]

Does any one know about Extended SEO on LDM ? I have a problem within it.

Can any one tell me what i exactly do to have SEO extended?

[PoC2]

This is sad news. :(

Without seeming insensitive, the Links/Downloads Mod is one we hope to keep on using. Hopefully it will have some form of future? Does anyone know the Mod well enough to take it on in Andrew's name?

I came looking for info. on how to change the name of the Nav Tab, and then saw this. :(

[obmob]

To change the navtab seach for the phrase and edit it.

LDM is a huge piece of work, Andrew had decades working as a developer, hope there is a group out there willing to take time in a mod like this.

[Alfa1]

Yes, its massive. Either a group of coders or IB should take this on.

[My Dark Tower]

Nice! Is there a way to mass upload files? I have over 7000 games to upload and to manually do each one is gonna take some time

[PoC2]

To change the navtab seach for the phrase and edit it.

I tried that but with no luck. Could you be more specific?

Thanks.

[PoC2]

No matter, found it. Phrase is: ldm_vbmenu_ldm

[Ramsesx]

Hm, sad to see another member passing away, really sad. R.i.p. Andrew.

[Tahooma]

Hi
Can anyone give me a hint how to mark a link as "featured" ?
I would really need this one, you can define in the admin panel how featured links should look like (template), but i cat find a solution where to set the featured option on single links.

And, can someone tell me how to display LDM with my standard navigation on the left side ?
I am new to vBulletin, so i didnt find a solution for a left side menue where i can link directly to LDM.

Thanks in advance

[obmob]

Maybe you can try here:

Jesus, what did I do wrong??

When I go to http://www.myforum.com/local_links_admin.php I got this message:

EDITED.

Oh God, sorry, I've never seen the red line.
RIP dear Andrew, thax for sharing you friendship,love and support with us.

[Alfa1]

The 3.8 version of LDM is marked as reusable code. This means that any coder can take up this project and prevent LDM going to waste. It would be a shame that after all the years of work and dedication Andrew has put into it, it could no longer be used.

It remains to be seen how long this version of LDM keeps working, after new vbulletin versions are released.

My users rate a link, and comment it.
But only the rating is stored, the comment is not stored and "no comment" is displayed next to the rating.

Cant find any reason why this happens

[Alfa1]

Does LDM still work with vb4.0.8 ?

[obmob]

Seems to be working but styles are getting more tricky, unfortunately it's time to move into another download manager. :(

DownloadsII just got competition with vBDownloads v1.0.0 (Lite).

[Ophelia]

I talked to the makers of vBDownloads and they are going to work on an importer for L&D. If this can be provided, it would take a lot of stress off my shoulders.

[Alfa1]

Currently vbdownloads doesn't have a more than a fraction of the functions. It would be great if they would add the most important functions, but since LDM is a massive product, I think it will take a long time before there is any replacement.

[Ophelia]

Yes, however, functions don't mean much if LDM no longer works because it's no longer compatible with vBulletin. No one has stepped up to take over this project, unfortunately, so for those of us who run a business and earn income off our downloads, functionality is second choice.

[Alfa1]

I do not refer to any trivial functionality. You would be right in that regard.

LDM works well for now, but this may change for future releases of vbulletin. Until there are other solutions that offer most of the vital functionality that LDM has, I'm not moving my site to any vb version that doesnt support LDM.

[obmob]

Yeah, unfortunately I also start migrating, DonwloadsII works... just that. :p

[yahooooh]

this great product
with alot of great features , any one can fix it for vb4.0.8 and above because it will not work perfectly with vb4.0.8
must issues comes from the style var changes

[Alfa1]

Please explain what is not working with vb 4.0.8. My LDM installation seems to work well with vb4.0.8
If its related to style issues, then please post screen shots.

[yahooooh]

comments ,rates and also download can not used
the product is almost dead
:(

[SoltanWorld]

guys what's ur problem exactly? I'm running LDM on 4.0.8 too with no error

dear Sir Andrew has passed away in July and we really lost Awesome Coder ever. But his Works doesn't dead, it works with any 4.0.x versions

[Alfa1]

I have no problem viewing a download in vb 4.0.8
Rating goes well.
Commenting seems to have an issue, as well as editing the comment. I will have to check that out further. Could be a permission setting.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/11.gif That's right, it is working on vBulletin 4.0.8 PL 2

Some lil issues like style messed up but it works pretty good.
I don't use Comennts at my forum, dunno if it works or not but oh yeah, this is a great mod that still works

http://www.seusers.com/foro/local_links.php

[Alfa1]

Thanks for that update. I hope it keeps working for vb4. I think we should be happy that Andrew did not fully integrate it with the CMS yet. The fact that LDM operates fairly independent should allow it to run well for some time.

Did anyone try it on 4.1?

[shane greer]

It no longer works as the option to add entries etc no longer is displayed in my version. :(

[TosaInu]

A shock! Andrew was a nice person, he helped me quite a few times to get our LDM tweaked.
It's solid code for all I can say, it's working fine on our 4.1.1. I came here to look for a plugin and just learned Andrew is no more :(

[moon_spell]

not working on 4.1.1 ! please release the new version , after upgrade to 4.1.1 no more working

Andrew has passed away. No one has taken up this addon yet. Im still hoping that one or more coders will adopt this amazing addon. Else Andrews years of work will be lost.

What is not working for you? I am running vb4.1.0 with LDM and no problems, but can not confirm for vb4.1.1

I expect this is easy to fix. Try this. In the product xml file find:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 beta 1" maxversion="4.1.0" />
replace with:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 beta 1" maxversion="4.9.0" />
Re-import with overwrite.

It works just fine on vb4.1.12 for me.

You have a custom style, which is not working with LDM. And I see that your comet chat footer bar code is not inserted correctly.

[moon_spell]

is not because of one of them , with all of completevb styles i have this problem !the style is a completevb product and the latest update ! i wonder how the updated styles do not work ! is there any way to slove this please ?

[Alfa1]

Please add the default vbulletin style so that you can see that this works fine.
Maybe the styles you are using are dependent upon the new stylevar system that is in vb4. LDM is not dependent upon that, because otherwise LDM would have been broken a long time ago. I think the issue is that the custom styles you have are not compatible with LDM. Please ask completevb if they know how to fix this.

[bitbender]

Installed and working on a 4.1.2 board (http://www.jamgoodbluegrass.com)and I don't see any style issues in my skins so far and I have 4 in addition to the default. It identified a background color or two I had missed in the stylevar settings when I built one of the styles, so that was a positive for me.

What a great mod this is - I am sorry Andrew isn't with us any longer. He sure wrote great code that integrates well in this mod.

Cheers

[DJ-Lounge]

Does this work in vBulletin 4.1.2 with custom style?

[Alfa1]

That depends on your custom style. It works on the default style and it works on various custom styles.
This addon was created before the stylevar overhaul.

[bitbender]

Aye - Agreed - I should comment that my 4 styles do not vary much from the defaults, mostly back ground/color font and arrangement items. 3 of them I got from vbulletin.org and the mod works in all of them.

I upgraded to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1 and then put this mod on.

DJ- you are proably just going to have to try it and see - It can be turned off if it doesn't work so the risk is low. And it's darn good looking code, too.

[DJ-Lounge]

Alright, I am gonna check it out on my forum!

[Laurent42]

Hello,

Is it possible to use an absolute download folder outside the Web site tree? (for the dl2folderpath variable)? Would the plugin work?

[readjono]

Does anyone have an issue searching? When I go to page 2 of the search results it loses its search.

Anyone have an idea of how it could be resolved?

[Alfa1]

I dont have that issue.

[SEW810]

Does anybody have an idea about wich templates must be edited just to work fine with any custom style?


Regards :)

[EquinoxWorld]

Does anybody have an idea about wich templates must be edited just to work fine with any custom style?


Regards :)

Do it first and then you'll know which ones to edit. Every style is different so the templates vary. Only after you see what you have can you or anyone know what needs to be edited.

[dkny]

I was wondering if someone can help me. I have been using this hack for 2 years, I love it as well as my member. Ever since I updated to VB4 I have 2 issues, seems there is something wrong with my template and I cant figure it out, one issue is that the links inside the navbar are overlapping and its hard to see the "add entry link".

The other issue is that the username and logout links are out of sync on the page. I included a print screen so you have an idea of what I'm talking about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Alfa1]

Does anyone have this running on php5.3 or mysql 5.5?
I would like to know if I can safely upgrade to php5.3 or mysql 5.5.

[SoltanWorld]

Works Great on 4.1.3 No Problem

[SeanE]

I just upgraded to vB4.1.3 - and have enough PTSD now to last me the rest of my life...

I've been using LDM for about two years, and like it a lot - and want to install it on my new vB installation so I can get on with other things - only thing is, with Andrew's passing, I'm wondering what the future is with this hack...

What is the consensus about where this hack is going? Do you think it will continue to be supported by someone else, or should I consider this the time to separate from it and find another way to deal with downloads, etc? :confused:

If anyone reading this could please chime in - I need to get my boards and downloads back up on line ASAP, as my users are getting grumpy....

Thanks,

Staff Note: Sadly, Andrew D, the developer of the Links and Downloads Manager has passed away after a long period of illness.


Andrew wasn't just one of the best coders I've seen here on Vborg, he was always there to help anyway, accepting suggestions, trickying out with other mods conflicts, always friendly, just like if we were paying here for that.
His work will be on my board as long as possible and it's the least I can do for his fantastic job and contribution to our community.

Andrew: We will never forget !

LDM works fine ATM and there is no other downloads addon that has such extensive functionality.

LDM for vb3 is marked as reusable code and Andrew repeatedly asked for Jelsoft to take on this project, so this clears the way for a new coder(s) to take on this project. The question is if anyone will take it on. Without a new developer(s), LDM will stop functioning sooner or later. But who knows how long that will take. Andrew was a very good coder and it still works 15 months after the last release.

This is quite a piece of programming, it is not an easy task to maintain, maybe some coders can group to continue it.

It was such an amazing mode to work with. :(

I've thought about taking on LDM, but I am not sure yet.

I would only be allowed, technically, to start from the vB 3 version and do my own conversion to vB4 - that is a lot of work for this kind of mod. If I were to take it on, I would love to start with the vB 4 version, but with his unfortunate passing, I have no way to get proper permissions for it.

We'll see what happens.

I'm not clear on what you're saying - you cannot do a straight install of this version of LDM without going back to an earlier version??

I'm talking about taking over the mod on the developer side of things.

[SeanE]

I'm talking about taking over the mod on the developer side of things.

I see... Well, it would be great if someone picked it up - I cannot understand why Jelsoft does not just incorporate this product into vB....with the number of downloads (historically) it just seem strange that they would not adopt it...

My next question:

So...I'm running :

vB 4.1.3
PHP 5.3.6 and
MySQL 5.0.91-log

Does anyone know if this last version will run on these?

Thanks much,
//sse

[Alfa1]

vb4.1.3 and mysql 5.0.x are no problem. Im unclear about php 5.3 yet. Someone needs to bite that bullet. I expect it will be ok.

[SeanE]

Ok - well, I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to jump in again (my users are screaming for their downloads)....of course, vB has now come out with 4.14 - so I guess I'll update to that first, and then try to install the latest version of this - hopefully it will work. I'll post an update once I do that - I'm doing a test.db first...

One word for anyone reading this - who's a developer worthy of this product: I would happily pay for this product (on an annual basis, or otherwise - assuming the cost is reasonable) in order to secure it's performance and support with the vB line going forward.

I think it's crazy that it's not just scooped up and maintained by someone. If I were a developer, I know I would.

Well, that was unpleasant. I've upgraded to vB 4.14 and the LDM installation failed - with the following error:

The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 4.1.4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0 beta 1 / Incompatible with 4.1.0 and greater)

[Alfa1]

That is an easy fix. Just change the compatible version.

In the product xml file find:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 beta 1" maxversion="4.1.0" />
replace with:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 beta 1" maxversion="4.9.0" />

Ahhhhhh - I should know better than to give up before you guys comment. Ok - it's installed - and it picked up all my old tables, images and documents like before - saving me from weeks of re-entry work.... I guess I won't be abandoning this product yet... Thanks very much for your help. It appears (for now - on my test.db) that it works under my current parameters:

vB - 4.1.4
PHP - 5.3.6
MySQL - 5.1.55-log

If I run into any snags, I'll post them here.

By the way - you guys don't know (on the Shadowbox extra) which hook I specify when I add the Shadowbox plugin do you? I cannot remember, the instructions don't indicate it, and I cannot figure out which one it is just by looking at it...

Thanks again for the assistance - I appreciate it a great deal.

For anyone who needs it. Here is the LDM wiki (http://web.archive.org/web/20070607045856/http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php/Links_and_Downloads_Manager).

It appears (for now - on my test.db) that it works under my current parameters:

vB - 4.1.4
PHP - 5.3.6
MySQL - 5.1.55-log
That's great news. I was wondering about PHP5.3.6
Now only to find out if LDM works well on the latest version of MySQL, as that contains a major performance improvement and IBxAnders advises to upgrade to it.

By the way - you guys don't know (on the Shadowbox extra) which hook I specify when I add the Shadowbox plugin do you? I cannot remember, the instructions don't indicate it, and I cannot figure out which one it is just by looking at it...

Maybe you can talk to the guys on vB.org and ask for permission. Also, maybe you can try to create some sort of group with more developers. There seems to be some guys around with knowledge. :p

One new wrinkle -

With

vB - 4.1.4
PHP - 5.3.6
MySQL - 5.1.55-log

This version of LDM appears not to playing well with Safari, Chrome or IE...the text links within LDM do not come up - they show up as unknowns (question mark).

Under Firefox its fine - but not Safari, Chrome or IE.

Any ideas?

Thxs in advance -
//sse

[Alfa1]

That could be a PHP 5.3 issue. If this is true then thousands of sites will encounter this issue after upgrading to PHP 5.3

Maybe it's because someone tried to access one of the old files, if I recall, I added redirection using htaccess.

Maybe you can do that and avoid users to call for those links.

LDM still works fine with 4.1.12
I will test it on 4.2 soon.

Thats simple to resolve. The new navigation manage has removed the navigation edits. None the less you can manually add the tabs and links. That will take you a few minutes.

I mean in the Main Page for forum, I add LDM in section, also in above version it was said the last post (latest entry added) . now in 4.2 is disappear
See attach for more
Yes, I see now.
Do you have a busy website? I really like the last post function, but it has slow queries. Which means that if you have a busy site, this function will slow down your site. I had to disable it. I'm not sure how to fix the last post function.

I think its a much better idea to have a new post widget for the sidebar or for vbadvanced. This needs to be coded. I will need this as well.
When I upgrade my site I will need

Read the links I posted. These give you the answer. Especially this one: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/content.php/742-How-to-Add-and-Edit-a-Link

[ezak]

Mr. Alfa1
I have edit my navbar_link and add this code into it
<a href="local_links.php?action=addlink&amp;catid={vb:raw viewcatid}">
{vb:rawphrase ll_menu_addlink}
</a>


as it will add entry in the opened category
but it return with this link
local_links.php?action=addlink&catid=

as it show , its can't fetch the catid from the opened page link, and I don't know how to do this

it should be like this
local_links.php?action=addlink&catid=22
as I already open catid=22 then I click on addentry

[ezak]

I have fixed it and make add entry and add category is working fine with 4.2.0 under navbar
By added this code in the end of NAVBAR template


<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)">
<li><a href="{vb:raw relpath}&action=addlink">
{vb:rawphrase ll_menu_addlink}
</a></li>
<li>
<a href="{vb:raw relpath}&action=addcat">
{vb:rawphrase ll_menu_addcat}</a>
</li>
</vb:if>

membergroup 6 to show for admin only , you can add any other groups by 6,7,8

I'm getting this error whenever a link is clicked on from within LDM:

Invalid Redirect URL (http://books.google.com/books?id=1-1-Kx9PJskC&dq)

See attached.

Does anyone know what is going on?

[Alfa1]

I have been encountering the same. It may be related to php/mysql software updates. Im not sure. Im still using vb3.8 and did not have this before. So I doubt its LDM alone.

[ezak]

I request paid for who make LDM fully support with 4.2 (full function)

Go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details

Set the option : Always use Forum URL as Base Path to No

And if you're using Vbadvanced Portal, Do not turn this option to NO, you should change the Disable Redirect Domain Checking to Yes

No updates for this? I have upgraded to vB 4.2.1... but I cannot use LDM :(

In the initial post, the admins posted a note that the developer passed away (RIP).
So I don't think there will be a local update. :)


What is the problem with it? No one can help if you do not post what your problem is with the mod.

My problem is with the style... after upgrade to 4.2.1... everything is broken... very ugly... maybe someone has upgraded fles with changes needed.

[GiaNNi]

[SirTalksalot]

This was a great MOD, is it compatible with VB 4.2.2? Or has anyone developed it further?

THere simply isn't any link managers out there I can find. The one other one I can find doesn't work.

[imported_glowinggal]

nope doesn't work with 4.2 - tried installing it tonight and got the following:

[MrD]

Edit the Product.xml
min/Max version

[imported_glowinggal]

THANK YOU - worked perfectly - in case anyone is looking or wondering... i put the max as 4.5

[ForceHSS]

Leaving it blank would of done
like this
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 beta 1" maxversion="" />

[Alfa1]

I had an importer created for LDM to various other gallery/downloads solutions.
