But have you setup a category in LDM yet?

Yep, have one category. I'll try to set another.

That's odd, I defined a new category and the "Link" button popped up, my apologies for the firedrill

*** Update ***

I've got a few questions - Naturally.

1) How would I go about adding in images/banners to category descriptions?
2) I placed the cpnav_xlinks.xml into my /forums/includes/xml directory, yet I do not see an option in the VB ACP to access it. What have I done wrong here?
3) How can I get rid of "Submitted by", Date, hits, size, display order when viewing entries?

Hi,

thx for this fine Hack but :

After the Update from 2.1.5 to 2.2.0 it tells me that Softwareversion is 2.2.0 and Database is still 2.1.5 .

And sure i have overwritten the Productfile.

What can i do ?

For the Moment i have manually edited the 2.1.5 to 2.2.0 with phpMyAdmin at line "admin". That works but i think there is nothing at Database changed.

Easiest way to be sure is simply to tell the VB product installer to uninstall then reinstall. You won't lose anything.

No problem. Perhaps the coding is too clever for its own good.

The easiest way to do this for banners is to use Vb codes e.g. the img code. For small icon images, you can try Edit Category/Display Settings/cat_icon and cat_icon_new


Usually the Links and Download group appears close to the top of the list in the left hand column of the ACP. Sometimes I've noticed that you need to close all browser windows completely and restart before VB picks up these xml files.

You can get rid of several of these by changing the permissions (LDM/Admin/Permissions)

"Submitted by" - take away can_view_names permission
hits - take away can_view_hits permission
display order - take away can_set_display_order permission

For Date and size you would have to edit the template (VB/styles/style manager/edit templates) If you're using the standard layout (outer box with inner box on the right hand side, you would have to edit the links_linkbit template. As example, I attach a modified version of the links_linkbit template without the right nahd box.

I am getting this error when I try to add an image that is jpg for the link. I have the size set at 100. Any ideas what might be causing this or what I might be doing wrong? I am using the latest version.

Hi, seems working.

But it is normal that the german Translation is still very incomplete ?

I have a new German translation, very kindly completed a few days ago by dlutt, but I hadn't had a chance to upload it yet (am in the middle of a yet another business trip). It will be uploaded as a complete product xml file next weekend, when I'm back home. Or you can find his phrases file here

Is there a space character or some similar in the jpg's filename. I can see a bug in the code in this situation, although I can't get it to trigger your message.
