If I add a new user group to vbulletin and base the usergroups permissions of an existing usergroup, then that has an unwanted effect on LDM permissions. LDM categories inherit permissions from associated/parent forums. But in this situation categories inherit a no-permission from their associated/parent forums.

Even once global permissions for the new usergroup are added to LDM, the associated/parent forums still cause a no-permission.

Hey Andrew,

Hope you might be able to help. I've reverted all templates in the new version but it seems to not come out how previous versions appear. I looked in the default VB but it still has the same effect.

All the text descriptions are aligned right.

Also why are the hit parade titles shortened? Is there a setting for this? http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/com...ocal_links.php

Finally on the jukebox is it possible to remove the box surrounding the description?

I think you've got the LDM admin setting link_imagesize set to 500. LDM attempts to grab the cover art from mp3 files and show it as the entry's image, scaled to link_imagesize pixels and placed in a cell at the left side of the entry bit. For some reason, it is actually displaying blank images for your mp3 files, but these are still occupying the 500pixel box, and this is what is pushing your text to the right.

Another user requested this. You can modify LDM admin setting length_shortname to change the cutoff

You need to modify the links_playbit template. There's a sequence that reads
Code:

<tr>
        <td colspan="3" align="center">
        <fieldset class="fieldset">
        <legend>$linktypebit $linkurljump</legend>
        $linkdesc
        </fieldset>

You can change this to, e.g.,

Code:

<tr>
        <td colspan="3" align="center">
        $linktypebit $linkurljump
        $linkdesc
        </fieldset>

If I understand you, your report is correct. Currently, when new usergroups are added, LDM treats the usergroup as having no access permissions at all. You have to go to LDM admin permissions to give the new group the permissions you want. I may rethink this with vb4.0.

Ah this wasn't set to anything so maybe for the future it could default to 0 perhaps :)

Thank you for your help!

By the way, I don't suppose there's any sort of RSS feed linked to LDM is there?

The problem is that LDM keeps using inherited permissions it cant find. If I add a new usergroup, then I need to add permissions to LDM for it. This is managable.
However, in the categories that inherit their permissions these permissions are overridden.
LDM can't find the forum permissions of the new usergroup and therefore it overrides these categories with no-permission for the new usergroup. It is possible to correct each setting of each category, but I can find no solution to correct a mass of categories at once.

If you are running version 2.3.0, both the ldm/admin/permissions and ldm/admin/settings have a "view all category overrides" link in the top right of the page. The link takes you to a new page which allows you to selectively eliminate these overrides.

There was a bug which causes unwanted inherited overrides but I think it is corrected in 2.3.0.

Absolutely brilliant mod. I'm using it just as a links manager and am overwhelmed by all the features but even so, it's superb work.

I'm still trying to simplify things as far as possible but one day one it looks like I'll be sticking with this great product.

Congrats

I did this and now have the strangest error showing up at various specific locations. All locations are LDM locations.
PHP Code:

Warningparse_url(http://javascript:AL_get(this) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in [path]/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 301 

EDIT: it is a conflict between LDM and Two-Step links.
