Look for "Add Files" in your phrase/languages section of your admincp.

Thanks!

I can't get thumbnails to display. I notice the documentation makes reference to a linkbit_photos template and a selection for a thumbnails directory but I don't see these options. Are they in 2.1.0 or only in the new beta?

with 2.1.0 how to I get photos to display as in the screenshots here? http://www.eirma.org/devel/LDM/pictures.html

Sorry, Steve - the documentation is racing ahead of us - it's for 2.1.3.

In order to get thumbnails to display with 2.1.0, this is what you must do:
a) check that your php installation includes the GD2 library. If you don't know, take a look at the box down the bottom left side of one of the LDM admin pages - this will tell you
b) set the LDM parameter link_imagesize to the size in pixels (largest dimension) that you want thumbs to be sized. If you leave this at zero, they won't show
c) Either provide a url in the image field on the add link form, or use a main url that is itself an image (i.e. jpg, gif, png)

Then it should work.

In the versions after 2.1.0, several improvements have been made, such as caching ther thumbnails (quicker), using a better algorithm to create them (nicer) and providing some other layout templates (more appropriate layouts for photos).

Hi Andrew,

Is it possible to set a maximum amount of characters when a user ads a link at the description field? At this moment a user can (and did) put a large text in the description field.

I didn't follow this enough to understand fully.. Will one of the options be to accept it once, globally, for all downloads? (and then if people want it to be by category or link they can do that as a either/or type system?)

As far as the images, I think an option to allow users to create/manage their own galleries would be beneficial. So like if I choose usergroup A and allow them to create/manage galleries then they could create their own personal gallery in the gallery category and only they could submit/edit the pics in their gallery. Maybe even give the option if they'd like their gallery to be just a private one.

Another option that I think would be beneficial would be the choice to display newest and/or random pictures from galleries that the admins select. Maybe on the local_links main page or on a new gallery main page or both. (eventually it'd be nice to even have an add-on for use on forumhome if this were made possible)

regarding the agreements, maybe you could extend that or make a unique version for galleries, whether it be for copyrighted content agreements or mature content, whatever.

Do you want this to be an adjustable parameter, or just a hard limit? Currently the database field is type TEXT, which makes it in principle quite large

Whoa! .. you sure you don't want to just get vB Gallery instead? :p

I'm all for adding features, but isn't this going that little bit too far away from what this hack is all about?

It's up to AndrewD in the end I agree, but personally I'd like AndrewD to have a life and not get so overworked that he gets pissed of with the hack and stops supporting it ..

(Sorry if I'm stepping on your toes AndrewD .. I'll get out of protective mode now :))

I'd go with an adjustable parameter else you'll get requests to make it larger than the default .. :)

This is absolutely terrific!
I've read in other places that it was too easy to install, that just may be true. Even I did it. :rolleyes:

I have two questions.
How can I change the menu item under Show "My Favourites" to "My Favorites"?

Next, can this be used for just downloads? Is it possible to remove the "links" section? I already use vBadvanced's links directory and don't want to move at this time. I just want to use this as a document download tool.

Thanks
