So I guess this is just useful for a website links directory then?

I read your original message, but you seem to have edited it.

The LDM data entry form includes a field for an image. If this is filled in, the linkbit then displays a thumbnail. In a few cases, LDM will 'auto-complete' that field, e.g. if the main entry points to an image, or if it points to an mp3 file and the getid3 code available as an extra has been uploaded.

When LDM is being used as a links directory, the request was to 'auto-create' a thumbnail image of the site itself, using one of the available web services.

There are quite a number of these services - I picked three, just to try out the range of possibilities.

Just as long as it's not too strange a site

Andrew is the man or what? :D

Do you mean the title bar at the top of the browser? - maybe you could post a screen shot to show me.

Oh, i think he want's to display the title of the file in the browser title bar.

So far, if you enter to the details of an entry, you see "LDM - Category - Website Name"

He wants to show something like "LDM - File Title - Website Name" o think so :p

Hey andrew when I create a new usergroup and change a users primary usergroup to it users get an error when viewing the downloads pages. Error is shown below.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/local_links_include.php on line 1792

Doesnt show for the default usergroups i.e registerd users and if I make the created usergroup and additional usergroup to a member the problem doesnt appear.

|oR|Greg 12-20-2006 09:08 PM

Andrew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a new JukeBox image for you. I made it approx same size. 1 is a GIF, and 1 is an alpha transparent PNG.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the report. It's triggered by the bandwidh/downloads code, which works on a per-usergroup basis.

You can fix the problem by doing LDM->admin->download and bandwidth quotas->go which will re-size the relevant information array. I'm put a proper fix into the next upload.

WebmasterSimds 12-25-2006 02:04 AM

Andrew,

I think I may have found a small problem with someting, that you may want to look into, for some reason, Some people who were crazy enough to download IE& because Microsuck said so. I have found that some people are having problems with downloads, they get a extensive code. Here are a few screenshot for ya

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/12/6.jpg

No looking at that it almost looks like its a IE problem. or some settings. what do you think??

Funny thing is that these problems seem to travel in twos - bit like buses. I think you are reporting the same problem as two posts up. It's an LDM bug, not an IE bug.

Probably, you have added new vbulletin usergroups after installing LDM. As a result, one of the LDM tables (which stores bandwidth allowances) is the wrong size.

Easy to solve - until I correct the code

- go to LDM/admin/download and bandwidth
- click on the 'Go' button next to the update message

that should fix things. Sorry about that.

CSS59 12-27-2006 12:38 PM

Hi Andrew,
Any way to make this easier to look at?
Perhaps set it up more like a directory?
like http://linkageplus.com

I am willing to pay for this. Please let me know

Slave 12-27-2006 04:42 PM

I would think all that's needed is a different catbit used in conjunction with cat_cols_display set at "3" ..

I don't think you can set a different catbit via the admin pages so you'll need to have a play with the category templates, links_catbit I think :)

Hi guys,

My links & Download manager used to work just fine until I changed servers 2 days ago. Now my users are getting the following error message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/local_links_include.php on line 1636

I, as administrator, do not get this error message and everything appears fine on my end. Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

Thanks so much!
Sherry

- using snap.com (http://www.snap.com/about/spa1B.php)
- using webthumbs (http://bluga.net/webthumb/)

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. ArtViper is free and needs no registration; Snap needs registration but is free; and webthumbs need registration, is free for 250 images a month and is the most configurable.

Installation - choose your plugin, go to the appropriate subdirectory and follow the instructions. (Possibly upload code, then upload the chosen xml plugin). You should only install one of these at a time. The ArtViper and WebThumb plugins autocreate an image within the linkbit; the Snap plugin creates a pop-up window over the link title.

Happy Christmas...

Not working for me. I used webthumbs, followed all the directions.

Sorry about this - third report of this problem this week ;)

I think you've added new usergroups *after* installing LDM. As a result, one of the LDM tables is the wrong size, and users in the new groups get the message you are seeing.

Easy to fix - go to LDM/admin/download quotas - then just click on the 'Go' button. That should fix it. Please let me know.

Are you running php4? I just realised that the interface script assumes php5

Php 4.4.4

Thank you - you are correct, I did add a new usergroup. I did what you asked and it got rid of that pesky error however, I'm still having a bit of trouble.

Even though I have permissions set for the new usergroup, they can see the link but cannot access it. It also does not show file hits or the comments section. I've done just about everything I can think of.

Take a look in LDM/admin/permissions. Whenever registered users are allowed to do something, you should also give your new usergroup the same permission. (By default they will not have it.)

The new usergroup has exactly the same permissions as registered users and moderators. Perhaps you could log in as a member of the new usergroup and tell me what you see on your end?

Andrew, I'm very new to vB and vBA. I really want to use LDM as a links manager for my site, but I've been struggling for 3 days with this problem: Unregistered visitors can see the vBA homepage just fine -- 3 columns. But once you log in, everything is in one column.

Here are screenshots to illustrate what I mean: http://oops-hq.us

http://tkfu.com/beibhinn/oops2.gif

http://tkfu.com/beibhinn/oops3.gif

At the moment, I've uninstalled LDM (but I did export my links in an xml file). I wonder if you would mind looking at the site to see what I'm doing wrong. (I suspect I need to change some php code somewhere, but I am very confused by php, where to find files, etc.)

I've taken the liberty of sending you an admin logon name & password, if you want to take a shot at fixing things.

Thanks very much!

I was looking into installing this but I think I'll wait to see if there is a fix with this problem. My DB is way to large to keep making backups and reinstalls.

:cool:

I think you had probably installed something the wrong way - the broken column layout was caused by a faulty mix of html commands. Anyway, I've reinstalled two LDM VBA modules on your site (category list and what's new) just to show that things are working correctly. If you want to add/change these, I recommend you use the 'vba_modules.zip' in the top post of this thread, rather than the files that are actually in the LDM release zip, which have not been properly 'module'ised.

Get back to me if you still have problems.
