I should have read this before answering your PM.

Download managers should work correctly with force redirect set to 0 - it's one of the things I test. Which d/l manager are they using?

free download manager

edit: it seems downloads managers works when force redirect is set to 0 when files have been uploaded. But because I have files on another server I use full links to them. All the links with full http:// links dont work with the donwloads manager.

LDM gives me this message:
As you know my LDM is big. If I dont have to I'd prefer not to erase hits. Members like to see their file is being used. But performance is important. What should I do with this?

On another note: Is there a way to bulk generate thumbs for video's?

And another thing I wonder about: Are you planning to enhance the photo / image functions to a level where it could replace photopost pro? With all these new improvements LDM sure seems to have that potential.

Hi there :)

2 BUGs : When i try to upload with a basic registered user it tells me that i the DATE IS WRONG ?

and also. The basic registered users don't have the option to change date when uploading the folder.

I am using the french translation.

I'd say, prune the data after 30 days, that should be plenty of stats for your users and enough to keep the performance acceptable.

Back on the track:

I'm wondering if it's possible to hack LDM a little bit so the 'keyword' field becomes required, does anyone know how I could possibly achieve that? Thanks in advance.

Poor Andrew, you have such a demanding fan club!

I'm never short of something to do, that's for sure...

Pruning the downloads table doesn't lose the "total hits" information - just the detailed records of who is accessing what, which is normally something that only the admin looks at. As Yorixz suggests, I'd say, set the admin setting prune_downloadtable to 30 days or so.

Not currently. Does anyone know of a *small* php library that will autocreate a jpeg from a video file in various formats?

Which would you say are the main features that are missing? I'm not one for masochism, but I'd quite like to have a good photo album system myself.

These features: http://www.photopost.com/featuresphp.html

A few nice functions off the top of my head, that I have with Photopost now:

• Special lay out features for the image gallery.
• The option to have it seem seperate from the rest of LDM.
• Recent & most popular photo's (is already possible but would need a different lay out as well.
• Slide show.
• User galleries.
• Show thumbs of other pics in dir/member gallery
• Watermark.
• Comments with a more forum like appearance.

Photopost is an excellent program. Best way to compare this is to get access to someones image gallery & admin panel and check it out. There are too many options to list here. Or install it yourself and play around with it.

Little support request in addition to the other 100 pages of this topic; Where would I need to alter the plugin code of automatic topic generation?

On my forum I don't want users to be able to manually post in the board I'm using for the automatically generated topics (spam related issues), but this is currently required for the plugin to work. I can't find where to alter this in order to remove this functionality though.
