vb.org Archive - Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

can I just say...
Andrew, you continue to give the some of the most (if not THE most) concerted, best and most importantly patient and courteous support in all of vb org. And the mod is equally incredible reflection of that. so many coders crack and/or get nasty under 1/10000 the amount of questions and pressure you get for your hack. Its a true mark of character that you have done so much with the mod and with supporting it and so many appreciate it for that.

props Andrew..and CHEERS.

LDM pwns all. :bow: ;) :D

Andrew rules! :D

It's ready, except for confirmation of a couple of bug reports - I want to be certain about the 'long file name' problem reported a few posts back and the sql error in the 'like search'.

I get very nervous just before a release - there's always something that has been missed!

Andrew; is there any way to create a new category and let it have multiple parent categories?

No, a category can only have one parent at a time. This is deliberate, to prevent the possibility to create 'infinite loops' of categories which end up being their own grandchildren

How would you suggest handling the structure of categories?
I have my LDM categorised as:

categorised per topic
video
music & audio

I have the video seperately because I want to pull the latest video's from this category. Still many video's are dedicated to topics, which have a section in the 1st category. So there should be a link between the related sections.

Two possibilities come to my mind:

a) Create entries in your categories which are actually links to another category, and give these a display order of 0 to force them to appear at the top of the list

b) Place entries in multiple categories (you can do this just fine by selecting several categories from the list)

Not really satisfying solutions though. Ah, well. You can't have everything.

Hey Andrew, I asked for a feature a few months ago and you told me you would consider it in a future release. I was wondering what is the status of my request. Essentially what I am asking for is an "extra data field" built into the system. Then of course I could use this piece of extra data in any which way I want...

For instance, the way I would use it... my links and download manager I use as a system to distribute match videos. Sometimes I like to mirror these matches on YouTube. So if I had an extra field where I could put information, I would put the YouTube ID tag in the extra field. Then of course I would within my linkbit_featured I would add in an if not null display of the ID tag with a link to its youtube counterpart.

Of course if you want to see my implementation... http://www.crookedjester.com/local_links.php?catid=88
