This should depend on the LDM setting *allow_smilies*. If you've got that enabled, the smilies should display in the rate entry and the add/edit entry dialogues.

You need to patch the links_filmstrip_bit template. I'll also make this change with the next upload (which will be a bugfix release for 2.2.8).

Edit the LDM plugin which is tied to the member_customfields hook, and find/edit the line $entries_to_show = 50; You're right - this should be configurable.

Thanks!

I tried to add an entry, in URL field I type: /local_links.php?catid=4, then select 3 categories. It say error because the link is not valid, I click accept it and I see the letter B with "See also..." but the B link is invalid.

Was that what you try to tell me, or I did it wrong?

I have just installed this and have a blank page, read a few things about it, but nothing seems to work.

Used this mod 2 years ago, and looking forward to adding it again.

I get this error

=======================================
Unexpected critical failure
Critical Error: Document Root not set, Edit local_links_init.php
=======================================

I have edited the init file with the document root with no luck.

I got about 3000 emails like this one. At first I used PHPmyadmin and see the field local_linksdownload is marked as "in use". Then I click the field and select repair. It worked fine. But after an hour later, I got another few hundred emails again, this time the table was fine

It seems like something seriously wrong with my database, you have any idea?

Fixed, I think, see PM.

You should go to vb/admin/maintenance/repair and optimise tables, and run a couple of repairs, then an optimise. that should tidy things up. If that doesn't solve the problem, use a tool like phpmyadmin, delete the local_linksdownload table and then reinstall LDM to recreate a clean table.

What is the full url to your forum? You should use that, less the sitename.

For example, if your forums are in http: // yoursite / forum, then you should set up the entry as /forum/local_links.php?catid=M

Want to thank you first of all, have been running this for quite sometime and have enjoyed your work.

Secondly, I noticed today when upgrading to 2.2.8 besides the obvious reported bug that if I goto the directory where the downloads reside, I can access it and the index of the downloads publicly, is there anyway I can shut this down, in the event that someone finds out its location, i.e should I chmod it? If so, to what or what might I do that only registered users can gain access, thru the proper channels?

Thanks D*

Andrew, thanks so much for all the help so far, but I have another issue. I keep getting error email about max_user_connections:

So I login my server root and change the my.cnf user_max_connection from 50 to 200. Still, the email error keep coming. You have any idea of what's wrong? I did optimize and everything as you instructed.

Here is my.cnf, just in case you need it:
