No, not currently.

Everything seemed to install OK, but then I got a an error message from the system that the datastore table does not exist. How do I correct this?:confused:

I am also confused. LDM does not use or touch the datastore tables. Was vbulletin working correctly before the upgrade and have you installed anything else?

it works with 3.7 Gold ?

It works with 3.7 Gold, although this is not yet the 'Gold' 2.2.9 release. The bugs reported so far are minor and there are also one or two minor changes to be made in the final code.

I must have missed it, but I am looking to add LDM to my navbar. How can I do that?:confused:

It's explained in the wiki:

Thanks, I new it had be explained somewhere, I just missed it. Great product!!

I've setup a links section as well as an upload /download section for files. I'm wondering though why users without "Download attachment" permissions can download files?

I found this but I have no usergroups selected

LDM does not use the vbulletin permissions directly. It has its own set of permissions. The wiki explains these - you can either 'associate' your entries and categories with forums which are protected, or you can use the inbuilt LDM permissions system.

Thanks for the reply.

So Usergroup permissions won't work. Okay no biggy.

Andrew,

This continuies to be a terrific mod.
I just updated my site to 3.7, and I reinstalled all of LDM, and re-imported the xml.

I have two issues.

My footer seems to be stuck with info from an older footer. Isn't it using the vB footer?

Also, I have Ultimate Side Columns 2.0 installed and they don't show on the LDM pages. Any thoughts on why?

Thanks, Cliff

Sorry to bring this back up but I just wanted to be clear. If I stream an external link through ldlm it will count against my bandwith on my host server? I switched to a VPS with bandwidth limits and I just need to make sure. Thanks!

Sorry if this is unclear. Usergroup permissions certainly do work. It's just that you have to use one of the LDM permissions systems - in-built and forums-based. LDM does not automatically extend specific forum permissions such as 'rights to download attachments'

In-built

Suppose you want to block 'unregistered users' from being able to see anything. You would go to LDM/admin/permissions and remove *can_view_category* and *can_access_link* from that usergroup.

If you wanted to block these users only from seeing anything in category XYZ. Then you would go to that category, edit it, go to the permission tab and remove the same permissions from this usergroup

There are a whole series of LDM permissions, and they all work on a usergroup basis.

Forums-based

This was the original permissions system built into the early versions of LDM. To use it, you choose one of your forums which has the correct access rights: LDM looks at the *can_view_forum* and *can_view_others_threads* forum permissions.

Then you use the add/edit category, add/edit entry forms and 'associate' your categories/entries with this forum using the relevant box on the form.

Subsequently, when a user tries to access that category/entry, LDM will look up these permissions from the forum and deny/grant access accordingly.

This mechanism will also pick up forum passwords - if the category/entry is asociated with a password-protected forum, then the user will be asked for that password.

Yes, LDM uses the vb footer, which gets included in the links_footer template. Have you patched that template by any chance - you may need to revert it.

I don't know about UIltimate Side Columns, but will check what is the problem.

If the LDM setting force_redirect is set to 0, then I imagine you will be charged for 2x the size of the external file - reading and writing, and 1x for local files but the location of the files stays hidden

If force_redirect is set to 1 or 2, then you will be charged no bandwidth for external files, but still 1x for local files, and you will also lose the security of hidden file handling

I did a clean install of Ultimate Side Columns 2.0 and it shows up straight away in LDM. Haven't dug around to look for possible reasons why it would fail.

Andrew just been preparing to go live on the main site and just doing final testing on the test site.

We needed to change the style that the L&D uses for its theme and got the:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched."

Any ideas?

Did you have a pre-RC version installed with any of the templates patched? All the security tokens were added into the RC templates.

Fixed :) in the config it was still set to use an old 3.6.9 style so in the end I reverted the templates in that style and then that allowed me to change the setting so all is fine now with the 3.7.0 skin :)

Hi Andrew,
The fact that it was using info from a prior footer made me suspicious, so I deleted the old style. I was hanging on to it for reference - I needed to recreate a lot of menu items.
It looks fine now.

Maybe your some templates in you style needs to be reverted. footer template must be reverted in 3.7 :3

A lot of new phrases to be translated, already working on spanish version :D

I uses some icons from here: http://www.famfamfam.com/ and some from the original LDM icon folder to create another set of icons. I though someone may like it.

Thanks :)

What did you think of the new icon set provided with LDM, which come from http://www.oxygen-icons.org/

The icons are too large for me. I like small icons :-)

The icons from oxygen-icons.org are good, but IMHO which from famfamfam.com are better.

BTW Andrew, can you add a new feature that let LDM display all the items which have the same additional attributes? I think it will be very useful and helpful to the user.

Hmm strange I ended up with the same olds icons when I upgraded, if there a method to turn on the new icons?

Change to installation procedure
Release now automatically places the oxygen icons into images/ldm-ox-icons and sets up new installations to use them
Existing installations need to update *file_icons_dir* to use these icons

Ah ha I missed that one - now updated :)

hii
i uploaded all files from -release to my forums direction
and not understand this part -
Upload /release/icon into an appropriate *forum* images directory, fr example, *forum*/images/ldm_icons.
is no file or folder name icon in this what i download from your posting thread

and what to do whet this ? development ?

i try to import the xml file to admin plagins direction - and gote massage to -fers upload all files to server
do you explane to me mor easy what to do ?
thank you wery match

Right side column for AD or anything just for LDM and rearrange "keyword filter" - "sort by" into two columns instead of two rows.

Change "ldm_main" template. The place to add the information is at the end of the file.

The folder "icon" is not longer in the new release. In the images directory box you have to write: /images/ldm-ox-icons/


Ignore that folder

You have to upload all the files and folders in the "forums" folder to your forum directory before you upload the "product" .

Due to other pressures I'll have to wait until the release I think unfortunately.

Thanks AndrewD!!!

Installed RC2 today, no problems all working OK :-).

Thanks for the pad lock, it looks great.

BTW the other set of icons already contains a pad lock image.

I got problem after upgraded to RC2. When I visit the category page, it displays "Category does not exist". But there's no problem by item page.

sorry about that - go to ldm/admin/settings and turn off display of additional attributes for a while until I find the fix.

OK.

Reuploaded 2.2.9 RC2 with bug corrected I hope (change is in includes/local_links_include.php - bug only hits you if you have turned on display of additional attributes)

Thank you so much, Andrew, It's all right now.
And, the chinese translation for RC2.

Btw, I found a better rar.png icon that you can replace the small one in silk-icon set. Maybe the zip.png should also be replaced.

Everything seems great with RC2.

On a side note, I accidentally removed the file download display int he user profile. Where it shows the last files they downloaded and when. How do I get that back?

Thanks!
