Thank you very much!

Fantastic fantastic mod! Just what I'm looking for!

Couple of queries.

1. Have I understood right that it will handle both pics and documents?
(In the description here it mentions docs but in the wiki screenshots there's a very nice looking gallery disoplay)

2. Can I disable uploading actual videos and just invite links to open and play them?
Does the media player do that?
(so I am OK to upload pics and docs maybe limited music files but not videos, just links to youtube etc for that.)

3. Are you ready to tweak to 3.7beta compatibility?

Hopefully it wouldn't be rough on you. But 3.7beta as previewed on vb.com atm has ONLY individual Albums. There are requests for a shared group Album which are unlikely to be met for quite a while I think not until at least 3.7 stable if then.
So there will be quite a lot of interest in your mod.

Good :)

LDM can handle any time of file or url link. You configure it+VBulletin to let it know what you want. The photo display that you see in the wiki is genuine - although the layout possibilities are not as flexible as in a special-purpose photo album, they are there.

Yes - again, it is entirely flexible. You will need to spend a little time getting the configuration set up so that it does what you want.

Assuming that the base code for 3.7 has not been completely rewritten, I don't expect that it will be very difficult, and I will plan to test compatibility as soon as possible. This has been supported right the way through from vb 3.0 and I'm not planning to stop.

Andrew you are AMAZING
That was mere MINUTES to get a reply
and all clear definite helpful info

I dont mind fiddling to learn it so I can do different stuff.
I only wish I'd found it before!

OK have been browsing the manual eyes out on STALKS! More and more amazing.

Just one query - darn good information - I usually have loads of questions
If a user adds a link to a video on youtube or similar how does it play? - because I think the integrated jukebox only plays downloads on my site.

just a by the way - you're posting in the vb35 thread for LDM - the latest version and discssion is in the vb36 thread

The vb36 release has a set of 'extras', including an addin for a number of the flash video sites such as youtube. The addin translates the youtube url and patches the in-line media player to handle it.

LDM for v3.5.4 , can we use it for any means of video gallery clips?:o

I have not tried the video gallery 'extras' which are provided in the vb 3.6 LDM thread with vb 3.5. Most of the vb 3.6 code does work fine with 3.5 - it was things like user profile integration that changed. But you'll have to test it for yourself.

Well, it seems 3.7 will come soon, many addons will be available, but none like LDM :p

Now... back to business :D

I have a question, i want to add a category where i can add links to some direct downloads, but, i don't want this category to be watched by anyone, only by active and registered members. Is it possible to set this up? Even if i don't have any particular forum with those permissions? :eek:

Thanks Andrew!

Why are you asking in the vb3.5 forum ? :)

I can't see an easy way to do what you want without using the forum-based permission system. Perhaps easiest is to just create another forum and give it the required permissions? LDM checks the 'can view forum' and 'can view others threads' permissions. If you don't want people posting to the forum (or even seeing it) you could make it a subforum of another forum with permissions that make it completely invisible.
