I didn't check with 2.2.9-post1 installation (i'm busy by translating it in French and a lot of others things) and I have seen a little translation error.

Phrase 'll_perms_report_email', there is some unnecessary <em></em>.

This line is the only one which isn't translated.

Edit: an other bug:

When you have some saved searches in the search menu, the DOI lines (to be searched) has a wrong colspan.

PS: i'm finishing to translate it with the first release of LDM 2.2.9 and I will check for news in 2.2.9-post1 just after ;)

Edit 2: translation finished - look your PMs ;)

I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function check_LDM_envt() in /var/www/mysite.com/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1985) : eval()'d code on line 22

when trying to install the product

Check that you have uploaded all the php files into the right places. They should follow the directory structure in release/forums. The installer is trying to find a function that is in includes/local_links_admininclude.php

I'm pretty sure I uploaded it all in the correct directory structure

I just checked and local_links_admininclude.php is in /mysite.com/forum/includes/

AndrewD, just thought I would give you some more information. It looks like the reason a user can get into the hidden category files is because of my cookies being on the same server. When I tried the test with george on a newly imaged server, the problem did not occur. So it looks like your download agreement logic is causing the probem.

I try to download a file for the first time as BeauBeau:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

But your download Continue screen shifts me back to SSULibrarian - I don't know if this is because of cookies or the Remember Me option being "on":

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Hope this helps.

I don't think it's my download agreement logic that's causing the problem. If you take a look at those two screens, you'll see that one of them is for uber-goober.com and the other is for www.uber-goober.com. These have different cookies, so you are shown different users. This happens when the vbulletin admin/options/sitename settings identify the site differently from your site entry urls.

As I said in a PM a couple of weeks ago, you've got at least some, if not all, of an old release of LDM installed - I can see that from the LDM admin settings screen, which has the layout from onne of the alpha or beta 2.2.9 releases.

Make sure it's not the version left from an old installation. The function was renamed going from version 2.2.8 to 2.2.9 (part of the process of avoiding problems between LDM and other hacks)

I think this requires a rewrite of the ldm import code to deal correctly with extended characters. I'll put it on the list of things to do, but I don't think I can make this change quickly.

Hi,

I have a problem. Whenever I enter a link (remote or local) for a file, the link duplicates as you you can see in the attached file. So, when I have 6 entries for example and I choose a value of 6 for (links_per_page) from Entry Display Settings, I only see the first 3 entries on the page, and there is no button or something that takes me to the other 3 entries. But, when I enter a value of 12, I see all the 6 entries. Hope there is a solution for that, and thanks for this great mod and your effort.

I thinhk you're pointing to two different things.

The missing entries are caused by a bug in 2.2.9 which occurs when entries have different display orders (which I can see you are using). The fix is provided in the local_links_include.php file in the header post. Just upload that file into your forum/includes directory and the problem should be fixed. Please let me know.

I will merge this into the main zip file very shortly as part of the 2.2.9-post1 release, but I am waiting on resolving someone else's problem before doing so.

On the second point, the duplication of file names on your admin/mass edit page, this is quite different. The first (top line) url in each box is the one you provided for the entry url box on the 'add entry' form and the second is the one you entered into the thumbnail image box. I'm not sure why you are specifying an rar file for the thumbnail image?

Hi,

I uploaded the updated local_links_include.php, and the missing entries issue was solved. Regarding the second problem, actually the 2nd link looks like the top one but it is pointing to the thumbnail image. So, when I click on the 2nd link (even if it is same as the top one) it doesn't direct me to the file, it directs me to the image. So, It just has a similar name to the file link.

This caused me to lose a bit more hair (not much left).

The attached file modifies the import process to process kanji, etc, provided these are being handled in the form of extended html entities. (This is the default behaviour, as far as I can tell, but I'm not an expert on utf8 and the like.)

If you want to give it a try, be my guest. I'd appreciate a report. Just replace this file in your forum/includes directory. It doesn't change the export file; just processes the import file with a little more intelligence.

NB: This will only work if your php installation supports the *mbstring* extension (you can check by going to vb/admin/maintenance/phpinfo and scrolling down to look for that section).

NEED HELP ASAP!!

After upgraded, and uploaded the spanish phrases all the forum turned on a reverse look!!

HELP!!

//EDIT

Fixed!!, something is wrong in the _es post1 file!, i needed to reupload my language file!!

Apologies. The third line of the spanish phrases should read
and not

I have installed the flash-sites but when I add a video from dailymotion, it is written that the link is not valid when i clic. youtube works fine...

Can you help me please, thanks.

Had an error while trying to upload a file.

*** Unable to parse for XML file Array - error at line 1

I've never seen an error like this. Can you give more information?

Thanks. Probably dailymotion has changed its flash coding since the extra was last checked. Will try to investigate.

Is it possible to run multiple 'LDM databases/directories' at the same time using a single installation of LDM, ie. one for 'links', one for 'downloads', one for 'picture-gallery', etc? I don't see the option to do this, can someone please direct me to the relevant info?

Andrew is baldy now? >.<

I'm glad to tell you it worked perfectly! ^^

Thanks!!

LDM is not set up to run completely separate directories at the same time from the same code files, although I think it could be hacked to do so without much difficulty.

Why not simply set up separate base categories for links, downloads, photos, etc, and then provide direct url links into these categories? You can easily set up different access permissions, settings, etc for teh different categories.

Increasingly so

I'll find a way to incorporate this into the next release as a standard feature.

Hi
first off I love your product, it's great and have been using it for a year on 3.6.

I upgraded my forum over the weekend and uploaded your product to the latest version. I cant get it to work though, in settings it under where my files are stored (which I didn't change), it gives me the following error:

upload_dir : /forum/uploads/99/
Cannot access or create directory /forum/uploads/99/ [/forum/uploads/99/ not within permitted open_basedir /home/ncc: /usr/lib/php: /usr/local/lib/php: /tmp]

From the look of your error message, you've got the LDM admin setting *local_file_root* turned off (i.e. store files outside the web directory), and your web server has open_basedir set, so that PHP is only allowed to access files in the named directories. The message says that your upload directory is not within the space allowed by open_basedir.

If everything was working before and none of these settings have changed, I find that strange.

I imagine that you mean to have *local_file_root* turned on (presumably you want to store your uploads in a subdirectory of your forums directory). Easiest approach is
* clear the upload directory and save the settings
* set local_file_root on and save the settings
* reset the upload directory

Hi Andrew

This mod went in a treat - still playing with the layouts before I go live.

I have had a problem with using the mod to include asx media files get a white screen when I select a media file - have uploaded the product as normal from the extras director and all seems OK (also added the asx to attachments).

However I cannot access the 'import radio-stations admin tab as I (as administrator) am advised I do not have permissions. I cannot see where this is set in the settings permissions area.

Can you help point me in the right direction.

cheers

Roy

Ok, so i've got this installed on my site, it's great.
However, im also an admin on another site which has this installed. The main admin installed it there. Now when adding files to them both I've noticed that on his site, I'm able to upload an image as well for the file, but I cant get that on my site. Ive looked through all the settings on both sites and changed pretty much all the settings, except the ones which I want customised for my site and I know have nothing to do with it. They dont have any extra plugins installed, I downloaded the latest version thinking that could be why, but nope, still dont get the upload an image option. Is there something I might be missing :S.

thank you that helped, works fine now.

The 'Add Entry' form has up to four fields for url/url upload/image/image upload, see attached picture. Check which of these are visible for you.

The two Image fields only appear when the setting *link_imagesize* is >0.

The two Upload fields only appear when uploading is both enabled and allowed for the current user. It's enabled if the *upload_enabled* setting is on; it's allowed if the LDM permission *can_upload_files* is on for the curent user group.

Get back to me if this doesn't help.

White screens usually mean a php error which gets caught up with vbulletin's screen handling. To find out if this is the case, go to vbulletin/admin/options/cookies and html headers and unset the 'gzip html output' option. Then try again and see if you get something other than the white screen. I'll also investigate.

My mistake - I've been too rigorous with the error checking. Will post a fix as soon as possible. Sorry.

Ah thank you, i didn't realise that one needed to be filled in, id left it blank so it would use the value of Thumbnail Size from the VB admincp. Putting 0 in didn't work either, but i changed it to 120 and it now works thanks :D

great product! but when i tried to navigate through the subfolders from the main site at http://forum.xxx.com/ while being logged in, i get logged out and i realise this is due to a change in the URL from http://forum.xxx.com/ to http://www.xxx.com/forum/.

Is there anyway to work around it? thanks in advance!

Take a look at the forum url you have set up on your vb admincp/options/site name url. LDM picks this up and uses it in the urls

Andrew,

I have carefully gone through the permissions in general and have ensured unregistered can download attachments (obviously including asx now) but not see the thread this is because I only want registered users to actually be able to get downloads as an encouragement to join in general - the test radio stream now loads up with the Jukebox. So it looks as if permissions was the problem.

Still cannot access upload radio stations however - although this is not critical

cheers

hi andrew, thanks! it worked! :D

another quick question. i got this message which says,

"Possible inconsistencies between LDM and its environment
- upload_max_filesize 64M > post_max_size 10M in php.ini file - Large uploads may fail without warning"

all i know is the upload max file size is bigger than the post max size. what is the difference between these 2 and is there any setting which i can amend to get rid of the message?

These are parameters in the php.ini file which controls your web server. They both place limits on the maximum size of uploads. There is a potential problem when post_max_size is smaller than upload_max_filesize. If a user tries to upload a file that is bigger than post_max_size but smaller than upload_max_filesize, some versions of php are unable to give proper error messages. The solution is that post_max_size should be set to a value that is bigger than upload_max_filesize

Yes, I know what the problem is. I will upload the fix when I have the chance.

Thanks! :3

Is there any way you can allow for multiple attachments and multiple images per entry? That would be killer.
