Andrew,

When I click on the category title in the main page, I get an error because it is looking for: http://URL to my forum/local_links/links/1

I don't see where in your instructions you call for setting up local_links/links directory. What is wrong?

Thanks.

Looks like you set the seo_friendly parameter (LDM admin/settings) to 1? If so, you need to configure your apache mod_rewrite accordingly. This is explained in the instructions file.

If you don't need this, I suggest leaving seo_friendly =0

Let me know if you still have problems - am happy to take a look, but will need an admin userid to your board.

Thanks Andrew. Worked well. Anyway to have Suggest a Category link just like the Add Link?

If I understand you, users would use this to recommend to the admin that she creates a new category for a particular type of link?

Yes, that's right. Like in DMOZ.

Also, while I was adding categories, one of them popped up with a red folder icon indicating that it has new entries but there are none. The category is empty.

Did I do something wrong?

No, categories are flagged red when they are new or when something new is put in them (or when something already in them is edited and the datestamp changed)

Ah, got it. Thanks.

And, to be clear with my request. I have a series of categories. I would like a "Suggest New Category" link that allowed a user suggest a new category to the Admin, not necessarily a new type of link.

I only need columns for the Categories and would like them to sort in alphabetical order going down each column.

Thanks for your help :)

suggestion: "last downloaded/played items in profile" like a list of last 10 maybe

Here are two similar suggestiosn: Add the ability to use the category names instead of the category ID numbers, for SEO purposes. For instance instead of local_links/links/17 it could read local_links/links/music/

Add SEO ability to paging, and category jumping links.

1,761 links.

Thanks!

If I want to add a right/left colum just to display the category, how should I modify to do so? Would someone please give me a head start?

Where do you want the column to appear? On all pages on your board or just inside LDM? And do you want to move the information that is currently in the category table at the top of the LDM display to the side, or are you wanting to display something else, e.g. the top-level category index?

I've changed the Links and Downloads Manager phrase to something else. However, in WOL, it still shows as Links and Downloads Manager. I can't seem to find the phrase that handles that. Is this hardcoded somewhere?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, in 2.1.0, this is hard coded in a plugin - I need to figure out how to grab uncached phrases from the database. You can change it either by editing the main product installer and then reinstalling or by going to your VB admin/Plugin system/Plugin Manager. In either case, you need to edit the plugin called Links and Downloads Manager - Handle Who's Online which is hooked into online_location_unknown.

You will find three lines in this plugin which look like this:
Change the text as you wish. I'll try to fix this in the next release.

Thanks.

I'll wait rather than dive into the code.

Hey Andrew, me again. :D

I set link_imagesize to 300, but I want that to be resize WIDTH. I want HEIGHT to be resized to 75. Any way to restrict both vertical and horizontal? Thanks!


David

I want to make the category itself to be one column and the rest of LDM just like it is. I just want this column to appear inside LDM, not on every page of my website.

Thanks,
ConKien

Not in the current version, unless you edit the file local_resize.php:

around line 148, these two lines:
You need to set thumb_x and thumb_h to the width and height you require. This of course will be a semi-permanent change. Will think about this for 2.1.1 - the reason for having only one parameter was so that images maintain their aspect ratios.

just a small spelling bug in the administer settings page under upload_filetypes
change:Filetypes that can uploaded
to:
Filetypes that can be uploaded

Problem with your hack. When users are adding banners to the links after a while when you click on the banner it won't take you to the website it will just open the banner in a new window. Any idea what causes this?

Another quick question Andrew, in what template that I can remove the image in the pop up window and insert some text or code there, such as adsense? Thanks a lot :).

Edit: I can't seem to add HTML code into description page either, is it suppose to be that way?

Here's a couple of small template suggestions:

1. In the header template, change around the site name with the category name. This is so the category or link name is shown before the site name in the title of the category. vB does it this way.

2. In the advanced search, increase the width and height of the search categories form boxes. Right now the box is too small. I updated this by changing many of the 200px items to 300px, and the multi-category select number from 6 to 10.

Can you tell us when the next update will be? I'm wondering if I should continue updating my templates.

1,783 links!

I've no idea - have you got a sample that I can visit to see this problem?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure which pop-up you mean?

There's an *allow_html* setting on the LDM admin page. It's turned off by default as allowing html can create security problems.

Thanks! Good suggestions.

Situation for 2.1.1 is that the following are done completely or in large part:
+ Default permissions for new links taken from parent category if set rather than global default_forumid
+ Daily file download and bandwidth limit settings available
+ Users with can_moderate_link can change username of who submitted an entry
+ Admin pages give more information on invalid parameter settings
+ File uploads retain their name when downloaded
+ Unnecessary links removed from jukebox display
+ 'Update to current time' checkbox added to Edit Link form
+ Adjustable # columns displayed in catlist (cat_cols_display setting)
+ Integration with My Profile:
>- MySearch driven by parameters in Profile
>- Plugin to show user's recent LDM hits in profile

I'm currently working on the My Profile group of changes. I'll try to get these finished this weekend, then upload a beta.

Sorry for not being cleared, I meant the pop-up jukebox player window. I want to remove the jukebox image to make the pop-up window loads faster and add a adsense banner on the top or bottom.

It's the links_play template. There are two table cells pointing to $jukeboxpic

Thank you Andrew for your reply. It only happens when users Upload the banner to the site. At this point I had to disable it.

The second link is the problem. At first it was working fine but the next day after it was set up it changed.

sounds wkd

did that person add a link or just upload the banner ?

wow Andrew, so excited to test out the 2.1.1, can't wait :D.

just another quick suggestion:

when creating/editing a link I think it'd be nice if we could use an image from our computer, a 'Browse' button like the file upload portion has would be very useful for me.

Hi,

will it be possible to integrate vbulletins editor into LDM for inserting/editing new links?

That's the best news I've had this week. I can't wait for the next update! :drool:

Wow, just when I thought it can't get any better. Nicely done Andrew :D

I had a quick go at this a few weeks ago and wasn't sure if it was an improvement or not - which fields do you think should use the VB editor?

No promises about 'when' this might be done.

I suspect that - as BenJ suggests - the link has been set up so that the link's url is actually the image, rather than the site you want to jump to.

url - > site to jump to
image -> banner to be displayed.

If you want to upload the image (rather than simply point to it), I'll have to change the code, as suggested in anothrer post yesterday.

I think, only the field where you can write the description of an entry.

Upgrade to 2.10 was perfect. Running smoothly. Thanks for the great product.

Hi.

I am getting upload limit error
(Error - upload larger than maximum size allowed.)
when i try to upload files into the system.

I already added the filetype into the attachments part of Admin CP and also given it a big size limit, but still doesnt help...
