This mod has singlehandedly changed the face of my forum forever. I've been looking for something exactly like this for months. Thank you ever so much.

Is there anywhere my site can donate to support the designers of this, once our subscription revenue starts coming in? PM me if so, I probably won't check back in this thread, 119 pages intimidates me a tad.

I donated at www.eirma.org which is the author's site.

Probabbly missed it but is there a random links module for CMPS?

No, but it's easy to achieve. Just edit one of the existing ldm modules and change the line
to

I've uploaded release 2.2.1 in the first post. This is mainly a bug fix release - see first post.

Appreciate a few tests and reports, please.

Thanks

I'm famous!!!!

When i get home I'll try it...

Oh yeah before I forget, does this also do the thumb in the auto-created thread?

No, I didn't make this a feature for everyone.

I have two problems, they've probably been addressed at some point but I don't wanna look through 600 pages just in case it hasn't ;)


#1, the daily allowances don't seem to work for me. I set the allowance to one but it's still allowing me to download as often as I want..

#2 I would like to edit below "links and download manager" on the main local_links.php face with some rules, how would I go about doing that?

The allowances only apply to 'downloads', i.e. to files which have recognised mimetypes in your main VB attachments table. For entries that are not handled as downloads, then no restrictions are placed on how many times it can accessed.

The reason for the difference lies in how the entry is processed. Transfer of 'downloads' are managed by reading the file on the server and then sending segments to the user. Other entries are handled by browser redirects and do not place any load on the server.

You mean, you want to place a section of text that only appears on the opening page of LDM? Surprisingly, this has not been asked so far. There are related ways of achieving something similar:

- set 'force_accept' on the LDM admin settings page to require users to accept some terms and conditions before downloading anything
- set 'use_instructions' on the main LDM admin settings page (for all categories) or in each category edit (for the individual category and its children), so that users adding new material get to see some standard text.

This is almost exactly what I've been looking for, thank you! The only thing it is lacking is a way to sort by submitter. I looked through this thread, but can't find anything about it. Is there a way to accomplish this?
