This bug is fixed with the official version 2.1.0. However, in order to fix any existing mistakes in submitters names, you will need to edit those users' profiles in the main VB admin cp and click on 'submit' - no need to make further changes, just view/submit.

It works fine with 3.5.1 as far as I can see.

Implemented in 2.1.0

Awesome!

Can you tell me where you added the code incase I want to modify the size, and such

Much thanks in advance!

I think the attached external.php will do the job.

In the links_header template

Hi Andrew,

is it possible to copy the exact link (jukebox) for the icons to the 'jump' link?

What I have tried is by changing

// Launch embedded media player

if ($this_action == "play" ) {..

to
if ($this_action == "play" or "jump" ) {

in local_links.php

it does work however, the javascript noscroll, size etc won't take effect.

Regards

@andrewd: sorry to be a pain but... did this one make the "to do" list???

Upgraded to 2.1.0, no problems at all here. 1606 links.

It made the "to do" list but not yet the "done" list - it's there & will be attended to.

The noscroll, etc, is applied when the window is created from an <a> tag which has an 'onclick' attribute onclick="ldmpopup(this.href);return false;". If you want to extend the behaviour to other windows, then you need to modify the <a> tags to include this attribute.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please tell me what I part I have to put in. I have tried adding the link but it gives me errors.

In local_links_include.php i find:
$linktypebit .= '<a href="'.$LINKS_SCRIPT.'.php?action=play&amp;id='.$ linkid.'" target="player" onclick="ldmpopup(this.href);return false;">';
$linktypebit .= '<img border="0" src="'.$icon_cache[$urlType].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ll_playme'].'" />';
$linktypebit .= '</a>';

how do I insert the jump code.

Thanks in advance

*Installed 2.1.0 on 3.5.1 all is fine, thank you.

I think I misunderstood your question. Am I right, you *only* want to have url's that display the 'action=play' link, and you do not want to have any 'action=jump' links? In this case, edit the links_linkbit template (or the links_linkbit_table template, if you use that layout for links). Find the two lines which read

and change these to read

If I'm not understanding your question, perhaps you can send me a PM to explain.

OK. I really want to get this working on my site because I love the functionality and the layout. I have uploaded two videos to it so far. One is 11 mb and the other is 89 mb. I can download the 11 mb fine. It just takes a while until I get prompted to download it. However, with the 89 mb file, it will hang until I get an internal server error. Does anyone know what the issue may be? Thanks in advance.

Here is the 11 mb file:http://www.synergysanctum.com/forums...ks.php?catid=5
Here is the 89 mb file: http://www.synergysanctum.com/forums...ks.php?catid=3

That did the work!

Much thanks!

You are almost certainly using up all the cpu time that your server grants to php scripts. Typically, this is 30 seconds, and is set in your php.ini file. Take a look in the 'instructions.txt' file - section "Speed versus Security and Server Load"

Andrew, a few words. You are THE man! Thank you!

Brilliant AndrewD .. :) .. You've outdone yourself with this release .. :)

The only thing I've noticed is the "database_name" setting (thanks for fixing it in the admin pages btw) ..

The description says that it should default to "Links and Downloads Manager" but it seems to default to "Links and Downloads Database" ..

That's all I can find at the mo :)

Just noticed something ..

If you send a link to someone via the "Send to a Friend" option, they get the mail and click on the link .. this will open up the My Links page with the one link showing and the description.

If, however, you've got it set so that guests only get to see the wording of the link and not the link itself (option "protected_link" set as 0) the My Links page comes up blank apart from the "No entries match the criteria you entered" dialogue ..

Should this not show the link as they would of seen it browsing the cats (ie the wording and not linked) .. with, perhaps, a "To access this link you need to register" type dialogue beneath it?

Thinking about it .. it would quite nice to have this sort of dialogue at the top of the link lists on every page if "protected_link" is set at 0 ..

thanks for the XML "andrew you are the man" look forward to future releases....

btw whats this word assosiation user profile thing on about i dont really get it ? cheers

benj

having trouble:

installed all files to proper directories (checked each over 5 times)... imported the english *.xml file. ran fine.

clicked on the local_links.php file, and it's empty..... :(

http://www.propcircle.com/local_links.php

I've tried everything I can think of. I have vB 3.5.1

any help is greatly appreciated!

Do you have some sort of mod_rewrite function working on your site? The admin link (http://www.propcircle.com/local_links_admin.php) takes me correctly to a "login" page". Links to http://www.propcircle.com/local_links.php?action=xyz are redirecting to pages http://www.propcircle.com/local_links.php with no parameters.

Thank you for replying and helping me with this.

edit: no, I don't have mod_rewrite. That field is blank. :ermm:

Hi AndewD,

I just installed the LDM and I have one problem. I followed the instructions for the navbar:
------------------------------
To integrate LDM within your site, you need to provide a link to local_links.php:

- You can include this in your forums main navigation bar by editing
the navbar template. Find, e.g.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>

and insert

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="local_links.php">Links</a></td>

then save the updated template
-----------------------------------
My site is VB 3.51 and the forums are located at root/forumsdir/, which is where the files were uploaded. The problem I am having is that the LINK is trying to go to root/ and not root/forumsdir/.

When you logon and then logoff that is when the LINK is correct. How do I fix this? I tried searching but no luck and I really don't want to read all 624 posts.

Thanks in advance!
-Bryan

The website is www.tampahdtv.com

$5 if you can get it working. ;)

andrew any ideas if there would be a way to get the jukebox to be a flash player. i dont want you to make one obviously just want to know if its possible with the current settup of LDM?

Bryan,

You simply need to add the "forums root" directory in front of the filename.

Like this:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="tpahd-vb/local_links.php">Links</a></td>

and that should work.

Optionally, you may place the whole site URL in there, like you did with the other links in the nav bar.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.tampahdtv.com/tpahd-vb/local_links.php">Links</a></td>

Either should work.

Dsyn11, i"ve been away, so sorry for not replying.

Send me a PM with a username and password for an admin account on your board, and I'll take a look. Keep you dollars - I'm sure you have better things to spend them on.

Take a look at http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...cfm?id=tn_4150

I think this explains the EMBED and OBJECT tags you need to put into the links_play template.

Let us know if it works

PM sent. Thanks very much!

TundraSoul,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried this prior to posting and this didn't exactly work. This produces the correct link when the person is located on the main page using vbadvanced. However going to the main forum produced this link and attempted to go to http://www.tampahdtv.com/tpahd-vb/tp...ocal_links.php. Which of course don't exist.

I should have tried this. Stupid me. This works perfectly.

But shouldn't the other one worked also? Bug?

Thanks for your help!

Hello!

I just tested this fine add on with vb 3.5.0. It works fine and was easy to install. Thanks for this nice job.

One thing I´d like to ask: When uploading files these are renamed to a filename consisting of numbers. Is it possible to obtain the original file name when downloading ? Otherwise people get confused what they have downloaded on their computer.

Thanks
Ulli

Yes, I think this needs attention in the next revision. I'll make a note.

i'm this error when add or edit a link :surprised:

Which version are you running?

Version 2.1.0

I think you have set *upload_filetypes* to filetypes that do not exist in your VB admin/attachment/mimetypes table.

Is this still safe to upgrade on 3.5 RC 3 or do I need to upgrade vb first? ;)

Fire, brimstone and floods, my friend!

I can't see any reason why you should need to upgrade VB first. I don't think I have made any changes because of VB.
