Thanks man! It was the first option that was enabled. I have installed the dutch language, but the translation of the phrase is not very good in my opinion, so I thought this option was meant to do something else.

I don't know who's working on the dutch translation, but maybe I will check the full translation (or do it myself completely, because there are a lot of mistakes in it...nevertheless kudos to the person who made the translation available, I know it's a lot of work to do).

The current Dutch translation is rather old, but [url=https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=120685]Alfa1/url] has been working on bringing it up to date. I'm waiting for him to post the new translation. Might be worth checking with him before starting the job over.

Then I use the magnifier and get to see one of the picture fullsize. When I go back to the thumbnailview (categorie of the pictures), I don't see a thumbnail but the fullsize picture of the image that I just magnified. When I go back to the categorie-view I would expect to only see thumbnails again.

So in short: The pictures I magnified show up fullsize in the categorie-view. The pictures I didn't magnify show up as thumbnails (as they should). But, I want the thumbnail to show up again after magnifying. What could this be?

I'll try to reproduce this when I have chance, and see if I can offer any suggestions/find a bug.

I'm somehow misunderstanding your question. You want to set up exactly the same entries in two categories, but have them sorted differently? (That's straightforward - you just choose the two categories together when adding the entry, and you change the default sort order for one of the categories using edit category/control settings)

You got that right, just select as many categories to link to one file. (Just hold Ctrl and select, I forgot about that).

Andrew, another quick question about performance. Would using no hided link is faster than using enable hided link (on the same server)? MySQL crashed twice yesterday, not sure what's the reason, but it was a peak time when multiple connections were connected to multiple files on the server.

Almost right. If you completely turn off LDM's link protection, by setting force_redirect to 2, then the load on your server will be reduced. However, the amount it is reduced will depend on the nature of your site.

- If you are serving copies of files that are hosted on your site, then your server still has to deliver them somehow. Provided you set up these entries using local file names (i.e. /dir1/file rather than http: // yoursite /dir1/fil), then it doesn't make that much difference whether the file is processed via LDM or directly by the webserver.

- If the entries are downloads and you set them up as full urls, even if they are on the same server, then there is a high overhead in passing them through LDM.

- The sql performance is another matter. I would be rather suprised if LDM makes a major difference, or if setting force_redirect to 2 changed matters.

- I always use local file name dir1/file and not full http, all of them are streaming, with download option turned off (not allowed)

So server load and sql performance are different then. I'm not sure how much performance different if I were to set force_redirect to 2, would it make a big difference on server load? And I assume mysql has to do with a lot Rams, which I think I have enough (8gb on my server that host only 1 site)

For example:

- Category A
-- B
-- C
- Category D
-- E

Could I make C belong to both A and D? So when people click on A and C, they will all see the same C. Save me tons of time by creating another sub-category C in main D.

Thanks - this is a tedious job, isn't it.

NAH! it's ok, glad to help you a little.

After all, there is no other LDM i'd rather be. :D

No, this is not possible, and it was an important design decision to prevent problems. The categories create what is usually called a 'tree structure'. The important feature is that you can walk along a tree structure and know that you will eventually reach the beginning/end. If you allow a category to be a subcategory of more than one other category, that no longer applies. It's possible to create 'loops', so the coding becomes harder and more complicated to avoid getting stuck/produce sensible layouts/menus/etc.

However, you can achieve the same (similar) result by creating an entry which are actually pointers to your categories (i.e. make the url /local_links.php?catid=NN), and put this entry in multiple categories. If you give it a display order of 0, you can also ensure it appears at the top of the list with a separator.

Hi,
still not working.
I hear just the sound with no pic.

Maybe it was before i did the upgrade.
I use always firefox and i did not notice.

another member in my site has this problem also.

I did a test with other computer and it was working fine.
It's mean that the problem is in my computer.

Thanks.

Hi,
I have 3 questions:
1.for some reason I can't see the similes, in Rate/Comment.
2. Can I change the < - > in "filmstrip" to an arrow gif or something like that?
3.How can i limit the "My Recent LDM Entries" in vb profile just to the last five?

Thanks,
