php.ini is a file on your server. The vb admincp/php info usually tells you where to find it. However, if you don't have full access to your server, you will not be able to access and modify it.

As far as I know (e.g. http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/9393.htm), you can make these changes in an htaccess file.

im the admin to my site, and i must be blind...grr.

does your php info look like this?

it looks like that.

I've uploaded the next alpha release of 2.2.9, good for both vb 3.6 and 3.7. Will appreciate tests/comments.

There's more work to do on this before we finalise it for vb 3.7 and I hope also you'll bear with me for a while before I get round to updating the wiki.

Sometimes you can drop a new php.ini file inside a particular folder, then this one will overrule the one in the server... at least that's what another webhost did for me one time, i did the same with my current webhost and i have had no problems at all :p

Thanks Andrew, will start testing on vb 3.7 beta5 x.x

This is great ive been keeping an eye on it waiting for the next release, will let you know how it goes with my beta 5 installation.

Thanks Andrew you are the best!!!

I'll test the new release this weekend.

when i was using a line to edit the htaccess to recognize the php5 on the server it was conflicting with my forum only, so i took out the line. it was also slowing down my site A LOT.

how do i make a php.ini? and what goes in it?

You need to post that question in another forum, e.g. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=197

I'm not sure why, but I cannot get thumbnails to ever create/show. I have them enabled on my forum and enabled in the LDM config panel. I view a list of links, click on them, edit them and still not one thumbnail shows. What am I missing?

Not sure - there are several possible reasons - strangely I had someone else with this problem yesterday.

Things to check

- Have you got the GD graphics library available on your server (go to LDM/admin and take a look at the message about GD2 on the left margin)

- Are the thumbs being displayed as broken images (try IE as Firefox doesn't show them)

- Have you set a non-zero size for thumbs (LDM/admin/settings)

- Do they work non-cached (clear the thumbs directory on LDM/admin/settings, clear any existing thumbs (ldm/admin/statistics)). If so, the problem may be with the cache directory.

If this doesn't help, get back to me and we can investigate further.

hi,
i tried to upgrade to ldm-2.2.9-a3 on my test forum. there where 2 Points:
1 - i saw a red phrase about PHP BASE DIR but it was to fast for me to read the complete line.... is this normal?
2 - i can't vire LDM anymore on user-end. error msg: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72718 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/local_links.php(272) : eval()'d code on line 39
the second one appeared when i installed explorer-view plugin

thanks

one more request or better to say addition to JW Player:D
take a look at here please: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_WMV_Player
if possible, i want this play the WMV files instead of wmp

thanks in advace

LDM gives a warning if open_basedir is set. There's no problem provided you organise things properly. open_basedir is a security restriction on where you can read/write files on your server.

The second point is dealt with by increasing memory_limit in your php.ini.

On your second post, yes I'd noticed that also.

still the same problem with another error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/local_links_include.php(2594) : eval()'d code on line 14

isn't 50M really too much for an application?

thanks for the fast answer


ADD: got the point.... i have more than 1500 categories and this kills php :D it worked hardly with 70M memory_limit!
just wanted to test how it looks like. it's a perfect feature for databases with less categories and looks very nice ;)

The javascript for the explorer view is capable of handling an ajax-like 'expand on demand', which should reduce the memory requirement considerably (assuming that you haven't got a weird category structure). I am thinking about how to make that available. Currentyly, the whole tree is loaded.

Hello,
How are you sir, i hope you are fine.
Is there any news regarding this?
Also: Is there a way to do the same procedure for items in some categories? i mean "User can't see others items, is it possible?

Most of it is done in the 2.2.9 alpha. There's a couple of bits I need to finish off regarding teh synchronisation. The basic feature is the *can_view_category* permission, which is new in 2.2.9. Since users can always see their own entries/categories, by removing this permission you can deny users the right to see anything else. This can be applied on a per-category basis.

hello!

have installed last version alpha3 and get error - blank page when click on rate/coments .. http://www.belaplay.com/vb/libar/loc...atid=2&lpage=1 but another works fine ... some solution or help?

have vbulletin 3. 7. 0. beta 5

macc

http://www.belaplay.com/vb/libar/loc...ks.php?catid=2

when i go to your LDM and click to view ratings, i get to this page http://www.belaplay.com/vb/libar/loc...find&catid=-13
which is different from your first url ....

maybe because you were guest .. but try click on some link you will get same page ...blank ...

regards
macc

maybe i miss something ...

Hi Andrew,
is it possible that LDM-2.2.9 a bit slower than 2.2.8?
i can see the difference when i try to open the LDM main page
let me know if you need a link

thanks in advance

Sorry about that - coding bug. If you want to fix it yourself, edit includes/local_links_include.php. Go to line 3356 and change:

for

I will include the fix in the next upload

It's quite possible and I'm happy to try to get to the bottom of this if I can. As people ask for more and more features, there is more code to execute.

Ideally, this is the way to test on your site, if you are willing:

- enable debug in vbulletin by editing includes/config.php and adding the following line somewhere near the bottom:
This will add a 'debug information' down the bottom of every vb page, with summary information about time and database accesses. This will give the first hint. If you then click on the hyperlink on the number of database accesses, you will get a very complete summary of where vbulletin is spening its time.

If you can compare the two versions of LDM and send me the details, then I have something to work with. I will try my own tests in the meantime.

if you like, i will send you admin information and you take a look yourself.
i have no campare anymore, because i updated my live site to 2.2.9
let me know

thanks for help... that is fixed ... now comments and raitings work!
will just ask ..can be possibly that error in code cause problem - errors in some blocks- for cmps ?
get this "
Warning: Division by zero in /modules/ldm_hot_media.php on line 34"

Warning: Division by zero in /modules/ldm_new_media.php on line 22


regards
macc

That will be a different bug - I'll take a look. I rewrote quite a bit of code for 2.2.9 alpha 3 so this does not surprise me.

i just check those php files and those lines ( 22 and 34) are empty??

macc

Have you installed the LDM extra inlineJWplayer? The bug is that the vba module code is trying to pick up settings from that extra. My mistake. If you install that extra, the errors should go away.

no i have not installed extra inline player ...will test do that ... thanks for help!

regards

macc

i think there is a bug in 2.2.9-a3
autocreate thread in not working at all....
could you please check if it works for you?
thanks

Thanks for this. As far as I can tell, it works if you enable the (new in 2.2.9) admin option that requires users to confirm thread creation, but not if everything is fully automatic. The bug has been there from alpha-1. Will investgate and fix.

Edited.

If you want, you can patch this bug by editing the links_addnewlink template. Find the lines:
and replace by

i.e. change the 0 to 1

Be careful if you make this change - if I make further changes to the template before the final version of 2.2.9, vb will not warn you about the need to revert the template.

thanks for help...now blocks work with inline player...

regards
macc

So heres the big question the mod is really nice but i rather not have people upload to my server is there any way to have them use this hack with whatever host they want to use ie rs , mu mediafire etc etc

Thanks Andrew,
it worked! i will revert that template manually when i update to next version.

You can use this hack to let people upload files or you can use it to let them provide links to files that are held on other servers. It's up to you. You can disable uploads altogether or on a per-usergroup basis.

Thanks for the reply gonna test it out on the demo board ;)

I did some quick tests on a database with a few dozen categories and a few thousand entries.

With LDM's home page statistics turned off, 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 seem pretty well identical in speed.

However, 2.2.9 has more home page stats options, and these can be quite expensive. I'll take a look at the code to see if they can be speeded up.

Any idea why this works on firefox but when I tested it on IE it gives me a database error?
