Anyway, I was also wondering if the file upload and download can be turned off? I only need a simple links manager at the moment. Is this the right plug-in for me? Thanks.

Or possibly making it so different usergroups get a different link for example. registered user clicks on music.wmv and downloads from a public server where as a premimum member clicks it and downloads from a private server.

Also, I'm running the VB links 2.0. hack on a 2.2.9 site. I'm upgrading to 3.6.4 and would like to upgrade to LDM as well. Is there a way to import or otherwise keep my links and categories while moving to LDM?

Looks like a great mod! Thanks.

Nice hack, finally figured how to install it. Question though, it comes with all those nice extra plugins, but none say what "hook" to select from the drop down menu. Being a non-coder, could you clarify the proper hooks for

add-this-link
autocreate-threads
force-mp3-to-m3u
jukebox-enhancements
kill-LDM
lightbox
limit-uploads
limit-useraccess
patch-forumhome
patch-forumhome-newlinks
patch-forumhome-thumbs
patch-showthread
readme.txt
rss2
sample-avi-image
stream-mms-videos
versionist
wimpy-player
xml-import

Also, where can we get this plugin, "To add new filetypes, use VB->Admincp->Attachments->Attachment Manager->Add New Extension. (NB: With effect from version 2.2.7 of LDM, there is an 'add-mimetypes-plugin' extra in the release .zip file, which will 'auto-install' all the common media file extensions into your vb tables.)"

Thanks a bunch! Looking forward to the update. Rolando.

many thanks for the reply andrew and for looking into this for us. i have tried the wimpy jukebox already but i was hitting problems with that too. il explain these problems to you as it may be something you will be able to help me with as its more to do with ldm rather than wimpy

basically i have my vbadvanced set so that it shows my left vbadvanced column to the left of the ldm. i have done this by adding this to the top of local_links.php as instructed by vbadvanced

<?php
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_PAGE', 'tunearchive');

and then i added the page in vbadvanced named tunearchive and specified it to show the left navigation column - this is something i need to have on my forum or i can see people getting awfulley confused while navigating the link directory

and so this brings with it its own problem. when you click a link to play it in the jukebox it opens another window. when it opens this new window it also adds the navigation panel and so opens pretty much a full size screen. ive changed it over now so you can see for yourself what its doing.

http://www.oldskoolanthemz.com/forum...s.php?catid=13

if i could get it going so that it opened another small window with the player in it then that would be great.

the other problem with this way of having the links is that i would like the jukebox to open up when the mp3 is clicked on from the list of mp3's in the archive. the way the ldm system currently works in this state is that you click the link then go to another page and click the link again to open in the jukebox. i would rather it have a play button (like the wimpy button system) from the main list of mp3's in that category that would then open the jukebox and play the file.

i hope this makes sense as its hard to explain lol. many thanks once again andrew for your time its greatly appreciated :)

ps i thought id logged onto the wrong site a min ago lol. this is gonna take a bit of getting used to

I just took a look at your site - nice.

I think part of your problem is that you've wrapped LDM in the vbadvanced code without including all the key bits from the links_header template. Others have made that mistake too. You've lost the LDM javascript, so (for example) popup windows don't work.

You need these two lis in your hearer:

Andrew,

Thanks for your help. I double checked 1, 2, & 3, all done. Though on one you say "definitions." I basically put the file extension in the box, i.e., mp3 (with no period) then in the mime box, audio/mpeg if that's what you mean?

On #4, not sure. I've sent you a pm with info to check if you have time. Thanks, rg.

Yes, my difficulty is that I don't know exactly what changes you've made. The standard vb release opens a correctly sized jukebox window with none of the extra material you've added.

the changes i made were to the local_links.php page so that it adds the vbadvanced navigation menu to the left of the page. this is what i did:



it is because it is opening the page with the navigation menu to the left on still on the popup media player box that is causing the problems. is there anyways that the popupplayer can be not called from that local_links.php page at all as thats what is causing the problems

How would it be possible for those who are downloading to figure out the full path of a download via the download manager.

We noticed that files that are hidden and scheduled for a later date were being downloaded. Not mass, just 2 or 3 hits. I took a look and it's the same 2 individuals doing the download.

How are they doing this, but still triggering hits on the files via the download manager? If they know the direct path and are just changing the date of the download (example file one is 010107.zip and the second one is 010207.zip) then it wouldn't logically show up in the download manager as they are going directly to the file and totally bypassing the download manager.

It would save a bunch on bandwidth. Here is a great wiki entry, http://videotranscoding.wikispaces.com/

I've installed your program which I think rocks, but I'd consider paying someone to modify it so videos can be converted on the down load like Youtube and where we can use the Amazon.com S3 for storage and bandwidth, very inexpensive.

Edit--I have found a great encoder for under $40 that will encode just about any video or audio file into .flv format like YouTube. I actually took a 299MB video and encoded it to 1.2MB flash file, works beautiful in a flash player with the encoder from http://www.on2.com/ You can also download 30-day trial versions for free at http://www.on2.com/downloads/flix-demo-software/ for windows and mac.

I then added the mime type of flv Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash to VB attachments parameters and it would not do anything, when I changed it to Content-type: video/x-shockwave-flash it allowed me to download the file on my desktop. However your player would not launch it. Anyone? I would love to be able to use LDM where members could take practically any video or audio type, transcode it on the upload and then when downloaded it would play via flash like YouTube. With on2 they also sell over 130 skins for the players for under $30. Any ideas how LDM could go one step further? Thanks, rg.

Thanks for this great mod !

I installed it yesterday and it ist working like a charm, except ...

Users with special characters in their username (e.g. 'A&J') get a "Unknown username" message when submitting a new link. I use the german translation.

How do I solve this ?

Thanks for reporting this - I'll check and give you a fix.

updated...

if you are comfortable editing the code, I think this should do the trick..

take a copy of includes/local_links_include.php and edit.
go to line 1670

I know your a busy person, but I have a question for you, when i went to upgrade to the last version, I didnt realize till someone pointed it out to me, that when someone makes a "download" that it is not posting it into the forum topics anymore.

I looked all over your site to find out how to make it all happen again, but for some reason when I do as it says in your site manual. it will not work correctly, I pulled out all other mod's because this one is the major I need. bt cant figure out what I may be doing wrong.

Can you help me in this. I did follow the direction on your site to try to make it work.

Thanks In Advance

Sorry about me not posting it fully last night, was tired as all get out and forgot to give the full info. ok

The autocreate-plugin.xml, autocreate-2way-plugin.xml, are not working corectly I have tried them both, followed your directions on our site, and somehow it just semd to stop working. one of my forums managers spoke to me about it. , this is how i noticed it.

Now if I am not mistaken, when a catagor is made, and you set the settings up for the catagory, in there you specify that it should go to a certian topic area. not permissions. I understand that part. but the other one. Again it was working perfectly till the last release of your LDM system, then for some reason it stopped.

I did go back into it, after the upgrade, and re loaded all the xml files again, let it overwrite it, because I know sometimes when you do a upgrade you have to re load the extras that were set when you set it up the first time. but it didnt correct this problem. I also thought that maybe with the actual forums upgrade itself to 3.6.4 that maybe someting may have gotten messed up as well. Unfortunatly I can not un install it then re install it because of the thousands of downloads that are in there already. is there someting that maybe I missed ? or didnt do a correct configuration somewhere? I am pretty good at coding. but to a point. so if there is someting that you wish for me to try I will be happy to try it to resolve this. I would not use any other mod for downloads because yours is the best there is for VB.

Thanks In Advance
