Yes. When you create/edit the link/download and/or the categories of link/download, you can 'associate' them with a forum on your board. When this is done, then the downloads are only visible to/available to users who have permission to view that forum.

By default, this feature is turned off, so that all users can see and access all entries.

i installed it without any error

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanx

I have a request for an idea i think would be nice for a future release.I think it would be awsome if you had the option to set user permisions without asociating a catagory with the forums.Reason i say this is because for example i have 4 catagories in the links databse i installed movies,music,games,and scans not i wasnt ed have it where video,music and games are accessable by everyone but i wanted to have scans set to where only a certain user group can access it.But since i dont have a catagory in my forum set up like that its impossible unless i create one if im not mistaken.Would like to here any imput reguarding this :)

HI,
I just install this mod, configure it (user permissions, the hack ones, not based on a forum one, etc..) but impossible to create a new category, I have no option at all.
By the way, I have the admin bar, and when I go on the categories, it display an empty list, with any new option to create something new.

I only have theses options in the bar : Categories, Show, Search, Moderate and Administer

Any clue ?

I took a look at your site and the installation looks normal to me. There is a drop down arrow to the right of 'Categories'. If you visit http://yoursite/forums/local_links.php and are logged in with a user id in a group that has 'can_add_category' permission (by default, this is only the administrator group), the drop down menu will include an item 'Add Category'. Slight trick - that item is not visible when you are looking at the Admin page - the drop down menus change depending on where you are and what you are allowed to do.

Let me know if you still have problems - if necessary PM me an account/pwd with admin privs and I'll check.

any help?

Hello Andrew, it´s me again. :squareeyed:

I use your hack as a directory of forum threads. (articles)

So all of the links are links to showthread.php?p=...

It´s having the breadcrump navbar at the top.
When beeing in the thread, it displays "myforums->forumname->threadname"

But i would prefer it beeing:"myforums->links->title"

Do you know any way of doing this?

Do you mean the navbar that appears when you click the link to jump to the thread/post? That navbar is built inside the showthread.php code, so U can't see how to change it the way you want without rewriting showthread. Maybe I am not understanding you?

I think - without trying this - that you could create three copies of each of the files, with different names, e.g. local1_*, local2* and local3_*. You would have to go through the files to change the values of the parameters THIS_TABLE, THIS_SCRIPT, ADMIN_SCRIPT and LINKS_SCRIPT. I'm afraid I don't have time to try this out.

I think you got me wrong. What i meant is the breadcrump template.

In showthread, i would prefer it show the "local_links" path (which in my case has been renamed to "Archiv".
