This would be an edit to the links_catbit template. Let me know if you need help.

Andrew, do you need further spanish translation?

Please let me know to help you with it. :)

thanks andrew, mucho appreciated!

Now - general question: can I install this product 2 times? One for the normal template and one for the updates template? Please forgive me, I haven;t completely explored the templating system inside this plugin yet. I'm using for a business directory.

thanks!

Yes, thanks - I will need some more help - in a few days, when the next release is uploaded - but not yet. I'll let you know :)

No, you don't install this multiple times - the way you deal with this is to create multiple categories and give them different associated styles - one using one template set and another using another - ok?

Uploaded into first post in this thread. Tests appreciated. Thanks.

OK, time to start testing, thanks Andrew :)

I read a bit but couldn't find anything definitive. Has anything been added to allow images from certain categories to be displayed on forumhome or a vbcmps?

Yes

The same code is used to build both the cmps ldm_new and ldm_hot modules, as well as the patch-forumhome-newlinks extra. This code sets up a variable $linkimgshow which can be used to display the thumbnail. By default, this variable is not displayed - all you need to do is edit the links_vbalinks template and refer to $linkimgshow.

Hello... I am LOVING LDM... I went through about 6 different downloader/gallery systems before I found LDM and it is by far the best one yet... To see how I am using LDM... http://www.crookedjester.com/local_links.php... If you are unsure on whether or not you want to try LDM out, I recommend you check out how I use them on my website. I found that the images on the Eirma website really dont reflect the diversity of this mod.

However, I ran into one problem...
http://www.crookedjester.com/local_links.php?catid=61
If you download any of my videos, the hit counters dont go up! Why not? The hit counters go up for the images within LDM, but they dont go up for the videos within LDM.

Ordinarily, the hits dont matter... but because the hits aren't getting picked up, the downloads aren't being recorded... in which case, if I put a download limit on a certain level of users, say 200mb in a 24 hour period, it doesnt come into effect since technically, according to the system, the user hasn't downloaded anything.

As well... the bottom of my statistics page says:

upload_max_filesize>=post_max_size

What does this mean? And how do I fix it?

Ouch, looks like a bug. I've just registered on your site (AndrewD) - which is very nice by the way - if you agree, pls upgrade my account to 'administrator' and I'll try to find out what is the problem.

This is just a warning - there are several settings that control file uploads inside php/apache. The usual guidance/advice is that post_max_size should be larger than upload_max_filesize, otherwise your users can get obscure error messages if they get close to the size limit. You change these by editing the php.ini file that controls your web site. It's not a big deal if you don't have access to that file.

I installed 2.2.2 on a 3.5.4 board, and I am very happy with it.:D
- installation give no problems at all
- documentation is excellent
- Functionality (as far as I have tried it yet - only links) is great.


One strange thing is: I installed the Dutch language xml into my second language (Dutch). After installation I wanted to also get the English xml into my first language (Am English). It says there is something not right with the English language file. Perhaps I should have started with installing in English, and then import Dutch into the second language?

I will try out some more possibilities with the English xml later, and see whether I can get both languages at the right place in the end.

Hello -
great add-on! The only question I have is how do I get the jukebox to work in Firefox? It works in IE. Am I doing something wrong?

thanks

Bear in mind that the product_*.xmls are product installers which include everything. Only one of these can be installed at once. If you want to install another language on top, you'll find the language-only files in the /development/phrases directory.

It works fine for me with both IE and FF. Does anything happen at all with FF? i.e. does the Jukebox window fire up but nothing happen? One thing to look out for is Quicktime hijacking the browser (FF/Options/Downloads/Download Actions/View and Edit Actions).

Thanks Andrew -

That might be the problem...

But you know what would be a great add-on to this?

If somehow you have a small flash player play the selected file.

OR

You could upload image files and music files into different directories so Wimpy player could play the files in the music directory.

I know, easier said than done, but....

Thanks again fo a great add-on

edit: Yup, Itunes seems to have taken the mp3 extension. Thanks

okay i uploaded the files and tried to install the product...says i have to uninstall the previous version because the files don't match. so if i do that will i lose everything??? i am running 3.6.0 final

oh yes i tried the release client not the beta for ldm

plus i have this at the top of every my pages

($vb_version == "3.5") { define('VALID_VB_VERSION', "3.5"); } elseif ($vb_version == "3.6") { define('VALID_VB_VERSION', "3.6"); } } ?>

No, you will not lose anything.

But it is always a good idea to back up your database before making changes like this.

($vb_version == "3.5") { define('VALID_VB_VERSION', "3.5"); } elseif ($vb_version == "3.6") { define('VALID_VB_VERSION', "3.6"); } } ?> ?>override']."', '".$catrow['catid']."' ) "); } $asb = $db->query_write(" ALTER TABLE ".THIS_TABLE."linkscat DROP catinstructions "); } unset($adminrow); } } // Kill unwanted templates from previous versions function delete_links_oldtemplates() { global $db; $asb = $db->query_write(" DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."template WHERE title LIKE 'links_%' AND styleid>0 "); } // record new version function record_links_version($version, $installed) { global $db; $asb = $db->query_read("SHOW TABLES"); $hack_table_prefix = THIS_TABLE."links"; $hack_tables = array(); while ($myrow = $db->fetch_array($asb)) { foreach ($myrow AS $table) { if (preg_match ("/^$hack_table_prefix/", $table)) { $hack_tables[] = $table; } } } if (count($hack_tables) == 0) return (0); // something badly wrong unset ($hack_tables); $db->query_write(" UPDATE ".THIS_TABLE."linksadmin SET setting='".$version."' WHERE settingname='this_version' "); $db->query_write(" UPDATE ".THIS_TABLE."linksadmin SET setting='".$installed."'

LDM code files do not match product installer version
Product installer: 2.2.5
Code files: 2.2.2
Please *uninstall* LDM, upload correct files and reinstall

tried three times now ;) oops wait.....think i didn't overwrite them 3 times....let me check...

Send me a PM with details of a VB admin account and password and I'll take a look. No idea what's happening to you.

okay i restarted my ftp and uploaded now it still is doing something odd....sending you info....

username and password still work, however, it's not a full admin, so I can't get at the product installer part.

try again i will fix it right now

Well, my friend:

- I can see there's a problem on your site. I've no idea what it is. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling LDM, but I've no idea if that process is running properly, because you've patched the VB product installation process.

- So I backed up your LDM database and installed it on my test machine. Everything works fine with the same version of LDM (2.2.5 rc) and VB 3.6.0.

Either you've not uploaded the code correctly or there's something messed up inside your VB admin system.

you mean i upgraded??? lol that's the only patching i did...

i will reupload the admincp folder for vb and i will reupload ldm and try .... let you know later... thanks for looking!

okay i reran the upgrade to 3.6.0
i reran the ldm product

can you cnd see if it's okay now??? please??

Looks fine to me! Glad this is sorted.

Hmm... what's the best way to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.2.5?

Make xml backup, copy files into forums... then import new product with overwrite and that's it? o_ó

Or just use the VB admincp/maintenance/backup

Upload files

Import/overwrite.

Oh, ok... let's try. ^^

installed and messing around with it.. looks like a great system so far. thank you!

I run VB 2.5.4 and just upgraded LDM to version 2.2.5RC from 2.2.1
My forum using Vietnamese language and "HTML Character Set" set to ISO-8859-1.
When creating categories in LDM I can type Vietnamese and the Category name and descritption appear well in Vietnamese in the forum view like bellow:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/08/19.jpg

But Vietnamese doesn't show in various place:
- In the Control Panel:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/08/20.jpg

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/08/21.jpg

and here in the forum view also:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/08/22.jpg

Could you help show me ho to fix the issue!

Thank you very much in advance!

Difficult! Please can you make a backup of the LDM database tables (use the VB admin/maintenance - they start with the name local_links) and email this t me at ad_rodin at noos.fr

thanks

Thank you AndrewD! I've just backed up the tables and emailed to you. Kindly have a look! Thank you again!

just installed and working fine so far. I like how the links are presented, and there seems to be alot of functionality, statistics etc.

I dont like much the presentation of the editing pages, and some weird fields like "Review frequency" and other strange options, which my members will sure scratch their heads. Seems a little user unfriendly, but other then that its good.

40 pages of phrases to translate makes me sad too :/

this seems the best links manager I seen on these forums yet

You can turn off many of those options on the edit pages by removing permissions on the LDM admin pages.

What language are you translating into?

oh Ill do that, thanks for the reply

portuguese, if I ever finish it Ill send you the translation

How can i upload an movie or something, keep getting an error that it's not an acceptable file format when it is.....
