Ahhhh, I could see where that would be hard to emulate. ;)

Would there be a way to maybe have the links show their display order number somewhere in the listing? If you get enough links added (is there a limit?), it would be nice to know what the next number should be instead of having to open the last link in a category for editing to find out. ;)

Yes, good idea. I'm also thinking about an approach similar to the new VB inline moderation system (the right hand column in the thread list) so that one can more easily mass edit the entries.

There is no limit on the number of links - the list will paginate automatically. If you don't provide a sequence number, then they will default to "1" and appear in alphabetical order.

Oooohh, I like the mass edit idea. ;)

Maybe have a sorting option where you can do it by display number or alphabetrically? Or maybe even link creation date/time? ;)

It might be nice to also know the creation date/time so if the link is ever dead, how long it has been there. ;)

And here I thought you couldn't make this any better. ;)

The clear/delete ratings can only be done by the Admin, right?

Yes, and by the user who submitted it.

Do you really want the person who submitted the link to be able to clear the rating? If they didn't like how it was rated, then they could start the rating all over. ;)

No, I'm being unclear. Anyone who has *can_rate_link* privilege can rate/comment on any link. They can also change their own rating/comment but they cannot change anyone else's. The admin can delete any rating/comment but can only change his own. The person who created the link in the first place has no special privileges in this regard, unless he's an admin.

I don't think you were being unclear, I was just misunderstanding. Sorry about that. ;)

I'm getting this error when I try to change the admistrater settings:


any ideas?
(note:
MySQL version 4.0.22-log
PHP version 4.3.10 )

This error is flagged if you enter something in the monitor_dir text box and the code can't find a directory that matches. But your error message suggests that you haven't put anything in this box? Do you get this error every time you try to change admin settings?

I've upgraded from version 1.01 and the upgrade doesn't appear to have modified the dB correctly as I get:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'link.numrate' in 'field list'

Wow, version 1.01 - long time ago.

I tried doing a clean install of 1.0 onto a VB3.0 database, then upgraded to VB 3.5 and LDM 2.0.1 and everything has run fine for me, including creating/updating the ratings table.

Question - did you use the new product installation process via the VB admin CP or did you just follow the old procedure of droppping the code in the VB directories?

If no joy, maybe you could backup the local_links* tables from your database and email them to me (ad_rodin at noos.fr)

I did the new product installation process via the VB admin CP. No problem. I just added the columns manually and all ok. Thanks anyway.

Installed and works well .. very useful addition.

I am using this extra item which certainly saves time in adding to the database of links, however, the code seems to disable the scroll bars in IE6 .. anyone else having the same problems.

is it possible to add images to description. or links to image.

There are two ways. You are free to include IMG tags (or any other BBCodes) within individual descriptions. That is very flexible but you may not get a systematic layout if the images are different sizes.

Alternatively, you can go to the product's admin settings page and set the parameter link_imagesize. In that case, when you create the link/download, you also specify a thumbnail file/url, which is displayed, rescaled to link_imagesize pixels in size at the left of the entry. This requires that your php installation has the GD2 library available.

What did you update yesterday for this, sir? ;)

You've probably got a space character in your Javascript. Slave warned about this - VB.org has introduced some unwanted spaces.

Make sure that your Javascript url says "scrollbars=1" not "scrollbar s=1"

Just the text - I noticed I'd missed out something.

Oh, you mean in the first post?

I realise that this was a 'feature' which I included a long time ago. When the validation finds that the file has changed size, it treats it as new and changes the datestamp. I think this is probably an unwanted feature, so will remove it in 2.0.2, so that dates of submission should not change. Version 2.0.2 also has per-category preferred sort orders.

Ok I am switching from Vbdownloads to Links and downloasd manager 2.0.1 mainly because I am tired of the support I get there. And there is a search bug that pisses me off.

I installed this.

And when I go to categories page I cannot see any "Create new category button" only this screen
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/


And when I click on the SUBMIT button (the only button on that page)

I get this error

I'll check the error - probably the link you hit was not supposed to be hit with an empty database.

To create a new category, select the drop down menu under Category (the new banner menu) and chose Home Category. That takes you to the base Category. The menu now has a new item, Add Category, which allows you to create your first category. After you create the category, the menu will have a new item on it Add Link

Andrew, I doesnt display the "ADD CATEGORY". Is there a way you can sign-up at my forums, and I'll give u privileges to create/manage links??

By all means - but where is your board? Maybe you can create me an account with administrator privs and send me a private message with the details?

AndrewD, check private message.

ok problem solved, the "add category" isnt showing on Internet Explorer 7 beta.
Else it works fine.

Version 2.0.2 uploaded - comments please.

What do we need to do to go from 2.01 to 2.02?

<font color="DarkOliveGreen">* LttCoder signs petition for upload capability/integration</font>

You just upload the php files, then reinstall product_eirma-ldm.xml via the VB Product Manager. Select Add/Import Product, upload product_eirma-ldm.xml, making sure you select Allow Overwrite.

I ididn't see where this setting was. Did I miss it?

Administer -> Settings and Permissions -> database_name

Maybe the explanation was a bit terse :devious:

Ahhh, cryptic. ;)

It didn't like this:

Fathers' Rights Links

It gave a db error when I used the apostrophe. ;)

Ouch - forgot to catch quotes - thanks

Also, on your statistics page under validate, you have this:

The broken and invalid are 2 separate links. ;)

Sorry, I guess I didn't explain it very well. What I meant was it looks as though there is one line under both links. It makes it look like one link instead of 2. ;)

OK, got you, thanks

It wasn't major, just a display bug is all. ;)
