I apologize if this has been answered anywhere else, I've been reading for hours between this thread and the homepage of LDM. I am using it only for videos on my site right now, and it's working great, except for one small thing:

whenever someone watches a video in the jukebox, it logs them out of the forum, so they have to login everytime they watch a video, because I have permissions set to only allow members to watch the videos. This is obviously pretty annoying for my members, does anyone know how I can fix this? Did I do something wrong?

I also just noticed, it doesn't happen with Firefox, just IE...

Ok, so this is strange...

I went into the settings, and changed the open_local_links_newwindow and open_remote_links_newwindow to NO. I thought that was referring to the jukebox popping up in a new window, but apparently not, because it still pops up in a new window, but it doesn't log me out anymore, so this solved my problem. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone! BTW, LOVE this mod!

No, the Jukebox always opens in a new window. The setting determines whether regular links (e.g. if you point to www.bbc.com) opens in the same window or a new window.

Yes, I'm not sure what was going on earlier, I'm guessing it was something to do with my browser, not this hack, because I turned those settings back, and everything is fine now, so it must've been an issue with my computer. Thanks!

Here i go again... excuse me Andrew, any chances to allow admin to post html in image description?

I have a postcard software called vCard, i can direct link some images to send them as a postcard... so, i want to add a different sized image and point it to that program...

Also, i have a mobile feature, and also need to point it to it to allow members to send it to their mobile phones...

So, maybe adding html permission would make it easier to you :p

Thank you for the big effort you make!

Any ideas on this?

or should I be taking that up with vbadvanced (though they are terrible at dealing with mod issues, ime).

Hey Andrew,
On my site most of my downloads are wmv files. I want to start adding .mov files. All my entries and categories are Open default permissions. However, only Admins can download the new .mov file. Registered members and unregistereds cannot access it, both of whom I would like to allow to download.

How can I fix this?

Thank you

hmm.. you sure its just not your permissions setting?

LDM >> administer >> Change general usergroup permissions (add, edit, delete, etc)

According to the html that I'm seeing, your left column is trying to find the icons "images/mediaicons/mp3.gif", "images/mediaicons/zip.gif", etc., which is correct provided the code is running in the forums directory.

However, it seems that your VBA is running in the top level directory, so it fails to find the images, and displays the tag string instead (mp3, zip).

An immediate fix is to copy (not move) the contents of /forums/images/mediaicons into a new directory /images/mediaicons. I'll fix the code before the next release.

Off the top of my head, I don't recall that there are any different permissions checks for different file types. Are you sure that you have not 'associated' your .movs with a forum that is locked to non-admins?

What error message is displayed?
