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

Congrats for this amazing product. Two questions though

1. Can I disable the keyword function ? I am trying to edit some files and asks me for a keyword everytime even though I didn't give one when I created the entry

2. Is there any easy way to add a new field when create/editing an entry so I can give a url with the official site of it ? If it's easier, keyword function could be changed so I have the source url instead

Thank you in advance

1) This should be disabled by default. Check whether you've inadvertently enabled the *must_add_keyword* permission.

2) Not currently. Additional fields is something that has been requested for some time but has not been implemented yet - I'm waiting for proper inspiration! But it stays on the list.

I was sorry to discover that the online wiki for LDM got hacked this week. So I've decided to disable new account creation on the site, as well as anonymous editing. This will make it harder to improve the manual, but that's life.

Andrew I try to have latest "Show What's New" in joomla. I'm only interested for the titles of links and nothing more. Also I would like to being able to exlude some categories.

Could you tell me which is the query which is needed ? I had a look at ldm_new.module but couldn't find anything

Thank you for your polite description. It's perfectly possible to do what you want, and quite straightforward too. If you take a look at the on-line documentation, you'll find an explanation of what to do.

The reason why the uninstall script does not simply delete all the database tables and files is because it is too easy to have accidents - either of one's own causing or because someone vandalises your board.

you need something like the following:

Code:

select links.linkname as linkname, links.linkdate as linkdate, ltoc.catid as catid 

from local_linkslink as links

left join local_linksltoc as ltoc

on links.linkid = ltoc.linkid

where ltoc.catid NOT IN (10,11,12)

order by linkdate desc

replace 10,11,12 by the catids you want to omit

On my statistics hit parade menu on the LDM main page one of my downloads for a video .wmv file started going down when it got to about 2500 hits, the counter on the download info itself is correct though, using 3.6.8 post 1.

The downloads table keeps a full record of all accesses, but, because the table can become very large, you have the option to 'prune' it after a certain length of time (LDM/admin/settings/prune_downloadtable).

The hit parade is produced by reading the downloads table, so, if you have told LDM to prune this table, you will eventually start losing hits off the beginning. I suspect this is the source of your problem.

ah one thing I was thinking, does the hit parade only show the downloads counts for the last 30 days? Then so its not showing the total since the file has been there right? Then if so that cool then cause its been dropping daily as the video is getting older.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:07 AM.
