sweet so that means whats hot could possibly be sorted into maybe whats hot today / this week / over all ;)

I'm having a few problems with the 2.0.6 beta when changing the global names in local_links_init and the file names accordingly.

I've pinned down one cause, in the includes/acmincp/xml file you're not using the globals yet :D. But otherwise there's something else going on somewhere that's having the same effect. For instance, I go to create a new category after installation and click submit and it gives an error saying that local_links_admin.php can't be found instead of using the new global name. Except the category is actually added as it should be. Aside from the error it works fine.

The forum jump menu seems to appear even if you've turned it off in forum permissions/admincp as well.

Thanks - this was careless of me. One of the defines is wrong.

The forum jump menu should only appear in a few places (i.e. add/edit link, add/edit category). It's a side effect of the way vbulletin and LDM are coded - I will see if it is easy to suppress.

Hi Andrew I hav a problem fromupgrading 2.0.5 to 2.0.6. Installation went through perfect but after the installation the only thing i get :

Critical error: different versions of software, templates, phrases and database.
Software: 2.0.6 database: 2.0.5
Cannot continue - ask administrator to correct.

I double check ach step and i am not doing anything wrong. Is there a way to upgrade only the templates ?

You're the second to hit this - I don't understand why it happens sometimes.

Just use the product manager to uninstall and reinstall - you won't lose anything.

That worked out. Thanks.
I am not sure but maybe because i customized the templates before so before installation we need to revert th templates.

Re: output_buffering

Andrew, sorry for the late response, I had to leave for a business trip last night after work and didn't have a chance to change it. Luckily the hotel has wireless so I edited my php.ini tonight and ran some tests.

As far as I can tell, my download speeds using the download manager are at around 100-120KBps. This is a significant improvement :D. It's hard to tell here from this hotel with their mediocre connection, and I'm not sure how well a computer downloads when you're watching it on RDC and its uploading a fair bit - so I'm not sure exactly where I'm at with it. Anyhow, the links again are:

regular file download: http://videos.observedtrials.net/coustellier.mpg
LDM file download: http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/loc...ion=jump&id=92
php info: http://www.observedtrials.net/info.php

If anyone would care to help me here, I would much appreciate any advice you have. I am a poor coder, but I am have books and google and am willing to dedicate time and trial and error.

Thank you everyone,

Matt

Matt, it looks as if things are better, but I think they are still not great. Via the script, your video now comes to me at about 53 kB/sec, which is about a two-fold improvement.

I have one suggestion to try in the LDM code. Edit local_links_include.php - look for the line which reads and try increasing the size, e.g. to 204800 (i.e. a much bigger buffer]. This doesn't make a significant difference on our Linux server but it is worth seeing whether Windows cares.

Andrew, I believe that has done the trick, a friend at a university said he was getting 650KBps off the server using LDM now. You are the man! Thanks for everything :D.

Matt

how do you upload stuff ?

i dont wanna use it for the links but just for downloads help?
