The csv import/export code is very old - it was more or less the first thing written for LDM before it was even called LDM. There is also XML import/export code, which handles everything in the LDM database, I'd recommend, if you need to make changes, that you start with that code.

The XML exporter in built in as LDM/admin/import and export
The importer is in the 'extras' directory in the release

In case this is the same problem just solved on another site - have you installed the LDM 'id3-handles' extra in order to tag/scan mp3s?

If so - if you upload the getid3 code into the wrong place, you get this 'blank screen' bug when uploading files.

The getid3 subdirectory has to be directly in the forums directory:
yoursite->forums->getid3
Not, e.g.
yoursite->forums->getid3->getid3

For what it's worth!

ok, I ll try it and tell you. Thank you very much

when do you think a vb3.6 compatible version will be out? and will it keep all the listings all ready entered?

I guarantee (;)) that you will not lose anything.

As for when it will be ready, that all depends on how much of the base code I discover that the VB guys have changed. These things tend to be buried in the undergrowth. I hope that it's not going to be anything like as big a job as the move from vb3.0 to 3.5.

Its working. Thank you! :)

it shouldn't be becuase it's "mainly a feature feast" :D

got a problem with LDM...

I've got 2 servers! one with the forum on it and the other with the files...
my forum server is daly out of traffic...

but if i set force_redirect to 2 (a standard html hyperlink is shown) no traffic comes up....

what can i do, to use the link protection?

Bit of a problem, this one...

If you want to keep the file location completely hidden, then the LDM script has to handle file reading and writing. There is no alternative, as far as I know.

It is reasonably efficient to do this provided the script can use built in file handling routines. However, if you put LDM and the files on different servers (using http as channel of access between the two), then the reading/rewriting process becomes expensive.

By setting force_redirect to 2, you remove all the server load at a price of making the file location visible.

Why do you want to place the files on a different server?

i am really having troubles seting up for people to upload the files ..they can oly link :( ...

if anyone can please help me, my msn is hamzaalami@gmail.com

thanks.
