vb.org Archive - Links and Downloads Manager

All reported bugs fixed - check! :)

So far the only thing I can see as a bug is when you go to change the display settings of a cat, the change works but when you go back to edit again it seems to pull the overall default settings and not the settings you have for that cat.

This is almost certainly the same problem again. I'll take a look this evening.

Just want to know whether the hook for the point systems is already in it :rolleyes:

IF I do not upload a file and do not add a URL - can I still see the description and name in LDM?

Currently I have to either upload OR add a link in order for LDM to work.

I will appreciate if you could suggest me a fix or tell me how can I remedy the issue.

Thank you for helping me out..appreciated!

Vik, thanks for this report. You're correct - handling of null links is broken in 2.1.0, and broken in a different way in the current 2.1.3 beta. I'll fix it by the time of next beta.

I've updated to the newest beta with vbulletin 3.5.4 and its working great.
Also, for me the stats were not working before, but after the upgrade they all seem to be working fine. (before I couldn't find the links/files that other users had submitted, but now it lists them for each user)

thanks again for all the hard work andrew.

Are you still planning on doing more with the image hosting portion of this?

Remember I don't know what I am doing, but it's just a suggestion. I like it because I think having a form before every single download is repetitive and disruptive of a client's browsing. I am usually in favor of policies that do not hamper the flow of clients' browsing experience.

Just an idea.

I don't use this feature/don't have a need for it, but maybe it'd be helpful if something like what supremo said was implemented, but on a per category basis for those sites which may need the flexibility.

I'm losing touch with all the suggestions :o What would you like to see? (if you forgive the pun)

OK, this is what I propose to do. User agreements will be available in two ways:

a) Default - there is no need to 'accept' any terms and conditions before starting a download
b) 'Accept me' - it will be necessary to agree to the terms set in a site-editable form

and 'Accept me' will be available in two ways:
1) 'on category entry' (default). Users will need to 'agree' to the terms before entering categories.
2) 'on link access'. Users will need to agree before accessing a download

This second setting will be available as a global value and as an inheritable per-category value, so it can be tailored to only apply in certain categories if you wish.

NB: The combination (b) + (2) will not work for users who access LDM using third-party download managers like Download Accelerator Plus. It is simply too much work for me to sort this out. However, the combination (b) + (1) (and the other combinations) will work fine.

OK? (Ophelia?)

Sounds the best of both worlds AndrewD ..

I don't think you can expect to fix all the worlds problems :p

How do I change the menu titles? All I want to do is change the option for "Add Link" to "Add File" which I think my users will understand more easily since I'm using this as a file library. I can't find it in any of the templates.

Thanks for all your work on this. It's a great enhancement to my site.
