vb.org Archive - Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

I'm surprised by that error - as far as I can tell from the code, it should say Cannot access/create directory /files/uploads [/home/server/public/files/uploads]

try doing it in several steps. clear the upload_dir field and submit. then clear the local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix settings and submit. then reset the local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix settings the way you want them. then reset upload_dir.

Are you sure that your upload_dir is where you think it is, i.e. a subdirectory of /home/server/public?

Oh, i translated the first, i was using spanish :p

Well, there is nothing set on my local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix, still, i modified them, save and tried again.

Code:

The following setting(s) are invalid

upload_dir : /files/uploads

Cannot access/create directory /files/uploads [/home/myserver/public_html/files/uploads]

Not saving the path, i even tried to set it directly with phpmyadmin, but i get the same result if i try to change something in the configuration. :eek:

Thanks Andrew

Can I take a look at the site, so that I can work this out? Send me a PM with details and an admin account if so.

I am going to try this out on my test board.

I was wondering if anyone has created a way to pull a list of links so that it can be displayed in a forum post?

What I'd love to see is a popup window where you can enter search queries to search through the links, and check a box to include the desired links as a list in the parent post...

It may sound daunting but I need this exact functionality for my site. :)

i use LDM to let my users to upload the songs they make, so' id' like to know is there something like "nominate for mod/entry/song of the month" add-on...

or, a way to know, every, month, which songs are best rated...or which songs posted on a month the users like more...

thanks! ;)

Three ideas:

- An 'extra' based on the LDM favourites system, so that users' favourites were treated as nominations for 'entry of the month'. Currently, the favourites table does not keep track of the date/time the item was marked as a favourite, so this would have to be modified.

- Ditto, an 'extra' based on the LDM ratings system.

Both approaches would be quite straighttforward to implement, but might have some compromises - not sure.

- A completely new 'entry of the month' system, running in parallel to ratings and favourites.

I'm assuming that, when you say 'which songs posted on a month the users like more' that this feature only needs to work with new entries in the month. Can someone nominate an old entry this month? If so, what do we do at the end of the month - do we discard the old ratings and start again, or is the system supposed to keep track of the historic winners also?

When would the pop up box be displayed? When someone creates a new post/edits an existing post? Or is this something they would do inside LDM, then save the results to incorporate into the post later?

Either way is actually fine as long as it's somehow possible to edit/delete the list later.

I imagine a button in the editor, or a link, like "Choose links". When I click on it, I get a popup with a search interface. Links I add are displayed under the search field so that I can add more and more links to my list. When I'm done, I click "save" and close the popup.

I am not sure how to display the links or connect them to the post. I imagine it takes some kind of hook?

What I want to accomplish is the ability to build articles like this in vB:
http://www.hypography.com/topics/wormholes.cfm

Those links are pulled from a homemade link table so that when I update the links in the main application, the changes are reflected wherever the links are shown. It's written in ColdFusion, and not knowing much about PHP I'm not sure how to do the same in vB.

AndrewD, I've the same problem as obmob, I'm waiting for a solution (all works with 2.2.7, but not in 2.2.8). open_basedir is On but I'm 200% sure of my paths.

When this bug is solved and I can test it more, I'll post my French updated translation ;)

Thanks :)
