* ah ha! GREAT ok. uninstalled and reinstalled again. :banana:

* cool. working now :)

ok. Deleted old autocreat plugin and reinstalled it, but still couldn't get it work at all now. :( I tested by uploading a few files in a few different forums (all with correct permissions--same forums as last version which worked)...but it didn't create a thread. Again, was there something other than just deleting the autocreate plugin and uploading it that I needed to do?

help!

as above couldn't get plugin to work, so never got this message. :(
btw, exactly when/where should this appear?

dunno. NA


I said, I did that. I thought. :/ unless there is something else I needed to do besides delete the plugin....its just not working for me at all anymore. any thoughts?

I'm having same issue and I don't have ubux/uplaza installed..see below.

that doesn't seem to be the issue as there is a broken image for ALL uploaded files/links. :/ Just to be sure I logged in as different users and uploaded as different users. All avatar paths are fine. but still get broken image there. It seems to be related to the date somehow...again, here's a same Screenie as before with the PATH highlighted.

that's all I could check for now. hope that helps.

<<< back to the bug hunt. ;)

* 1. well I changed to draw from current category. :) but I'm still not sure how that allows one ot have featured sites not appear in some categories. do you mean that if there are no entries for that category by the featured site ID there will be no featured sites? what do you do if there are?

sorry I think I need more coffee. :p

* 2. a good example of why need to exclude from some categories/situations....when you are looking at just one link/file.

if you are looking at a single file/link...and have 3 featured sites showing (or ANY actually... its very confusing (more unrelated items than the one you actually want). When viewing one file...you really only want to look at that one.

insert: The only alternative I can think of is if the linkbit for featured sites is visually different (row of equal sized thumbnails with title only? ala filmstrip style) and positioned different (not on top?) then it might make a good "related links/files" type tool. but that's kinda going off in another direction.

* 3. yah. that'd be great. :) ability to do random is good. its not a big deal by any means so whenever you get a chance to add those two characters would be cool. :)

also... in following the autocreate plugin directions... I keep getting stuck on:

lol. nooob I am.. I can't find the category ID numbers. :( is that the same as the display order?

Sorry, could be clearer - hold your mouse over the category name and the link will include a parameter "catid=NN" - it's the NN's you need.

ahhh. thanks :) anyway .. I was just gunna add a couple excluded categories just to see if I could the autocreate to work....but nope. :(

autocreate still not working since update at all. (and thus haven't been able to check out fixes to the addon.)


==============
again, how do you uninstall and reinstall the autocreate addon plugin (not the whole product --that's working) properly? I am just deleting it and reuploading it.

see bug report few posts up. ;)

That's correct.

Bear in mind that the autocreate process will only work if you 'associate' a forum with a new link/entry. Otherwise, LDM assumes that you don't want this to happen.

roger.
hmm. then its not working for me anymore. :( note: it was working for me before. It just had a few bugs as mentioned...but it was making threads succesfully (and I was associatign it to forums).

but not since rc3 install.

Also, again, there is no intuitive instruction that let's the user know it will create a thread...so there is no way to know how to associate it. You mentioned this message was updated...but I don't see any changes. In any case, this is what I do to "associate" it with a forum:

1. add link
2. fill out name, description, file to upload (for example) and other basic info
3. select a Parent Category
4. select Parent Forum (again, I thought this message was updated?--write now it still just says "Parent Forum| Defines Viewing Permissions)
5. make sure user has appropriate permissions for Parent Forum chosen and its an open forum.
6. submit

Am I missing something? Last version that worked, but this time it does do anything (no new thread is created). any thoughts?

Can you send me a PM with details of your board, ideally an admin account and password. I'm not very good at reading minds - and RC3 works fine for me - I hope it's something trivial that we are overlooking.

sent :)

OK, things are working again.

Problem was that you'd changed the text of the ldm_accepted_and_thread_created phrase. This was killing the 'build new post' routine, but no error was being produced. I've modified the phrase and things are working ok, as you can tell by looking in your multimedia downloads forum.

Edited:

Your version of the ldm_accepted_and_thread_created phrase killed things without warning because you put everything between QUOTE tags - in other words VBulletin thought that everything was an old message, with nothing new added by you. So it generated a 'message too short' error.
