Andrew, how can I have it post in the forums listing the file upload date in the title before the filename? I'm using your thread plugin.

Also, I have the default setting directory to use the permissions from set in LDM but when you go to upload a file, it defaults to the first forum directory and you have to pick that forum for the permissions. Did I miss something?

if anyone wants (or Andrew if you want to use it as as default)...
here is the slightly modified text I use for the Auto-create thread plugin.

it makes the thread post a little clear and promotes clicking on the thread a bit more...

upgraded.

featured_linkbit setting added to enable choice of linkbit used in featured sites - actually couldn't get it work at all now. The "featured sites" category appears...but nothing in it. :( maybe I didn't uninstal the previous version correctly. is there something more to it then just deleting the old plugin and reuploading the new one?


category selection menu expand/collapse only shown with menu, not checkboxes - :D ok working :)

htmlspecialchars to protect quotes in links titles
profile hits list parses bbcodes - :D ok working :)

autocreate plugin creates thread url which still works ok after category move
autocreate plugin tells user that thread has been created - couldn't get it work at all now. :(

"I've changed it to give a different message, along the lines of 'your entry has been accepted and posted into forum XXX'"
- as above couldn't get it work so never got this message. :( it still just says:
"Parent Forum
Multimedia
Defines viewing permissions "

fix to stop Adobe Acrobat breaking with partial content requests - dunno. NA

Perhaps I didn't explain well enough. When the version number doesn't change (which it didn't from 2.1.6RC2 to RC3), you have to tell VB to uninstall the product then reinstall it. Otherwise it doesn't rerun the installation code, and so doesn't make some of the new features available. Including featured sites linkbit. Sorry.

Don't worry - uninstall doesn't harm your database.

Again, you have to reinstall the extras plugin

How could I get it to make the title of the thread start with the upload date?

I will include this in the final release - slight change to the plugin code.

ummm i am having one last problem....i seem to not understand how to get my plugin (and which one) to make my link in the forum...i had it b4 i upgraded...now i don't. i did read but i don't understand at all what i need to do. please?

ooops two....

i can't get one of my image?(i think) paths to work...its the ./image.php when you llok at the file it deals with the time and day i do believe. i thinks its my vbad. can someone shed some light?

I'm assuming that you want to use the new plugin which creates a new thread in a forum when a new entry is created in your LDM database?

Unfortunately, the VBulletin upgrade process deletes extra plugins, so you have to re-install the plugin.

Go to VBulletin->AdminCp/Plugins/Download and Upload Plugins
Import autocreate-plugin.xml from extras/autocreate-thread

I'm afraid I don't understand what your second question is asking.

okay ty for that on the threads....

http://www.teamrespawn.com/vBulletin/local_links.php for the other

./image.php?u=4&dateline=1142453581 is my exact problem lol

if you need let me know and i will give you a login to use to check it out.

okay i think i figured out what part of it may be.....i think it is another hack...vbbux/vbplaza....nm lol

I recently installed 2.1.6 on the latest version of vbulletin. The search function does not work and takes me to a blank page. Any tips on how to fix that?

Edit: i just see that most of the drop downs take me to a blank page. I'll try to fix it myself first. Never mind.

:)


* ah ha! GREAT ok. uninstalled and reinstalled again. :banana:

* cool. working now :)

ok. Deleted old autocreat plugin and reinstalled it, but still couldn't get it work at all now. :( I tested by uploading a few files in a few different forums (all with correct permissions--same forums as last version which worked)...but it didn't create a thread. Again, was there something other than just deleting the autocreate plugin and uploading it that I needed to do?

help!

as above couldn't get plugin to work, so never got this message. :(
btw, exactly when/where should this appear?

dunno. NA


I said, I did that. I thought. :/ unless there is something else I needed to do besides delete the plugin....its just not working for me at all anymore. any thoughts?

I'm having same issue and I don't have ubux/uplaza installed..see below.

that doesn't seem to be the issue as there is a broken image for ALL uploaded files/links. :/ Just to be sure I logged in as different users and uploaded as different users. All avatar paths are fine. but still get broken image there. It seems to be related to the date somehow...again, here's a same Screenie as before with the PATH highlighted.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/04/19.jpg

that's all I could check for now. hope that helps.

<<< back to the bug hunt. ;)

* 1. well I changed to draw from current category. :) but I'm still not sure how that allows one ot have featured sites not appear in some categories. do you mean that if there are no entries for that category by the featured site ID there will be no featured sites? what do you do if there are?

sorry I think I need more coffee. :p

* 2. a good example of why need to exclude from some categories/situations....when you are looking at just one link/file.

if you are looking at a single file/link...and have 3 featured sites showing (or ANY actually... its very confusing (more unrelated items than the one you actually want). When viewing one file...you really only want to look at that one.

insert: The only alternative I can think of is if the linkbit for featured sites is visually different (row of equal sized thumbnails with title only? ala filmstrip style) and positioned different (not on top?) then it might make a good "related links/files" type tool. but that's kinda going off in another direction.

* 3. yah. that'd be great. :) ability to do random is good. its not a big deal by any means so whenever you get a chance to add those two characters would be cool. :)

also... in following the autocreate plugin directions... I keep getting stuck on:

lol. nooob I am.. I can't find the category ID numbers. :( is that the same as the display order?

Sorry, could be clearer - hold your mouse over the category name and the link will include a parameter "catid=NN" - it's the NN's you need.

ahhh. thanks :) anyway .. I was just gunna add a couple excluded categories just to see if I could the autocreate to work....but nope. :(

autocreate still not working since update at all. (and thus haven't been able to check out fixes to the addon.)


==============
again, how do you uninstall and reinstall the autocreate addon plugin (not the whole product --that's working) properly? I am just deleting it and reuploading it.

see bug report few posts up. ;)

That's correct.

Bear in mind that the autocreate process will only work if you 'associate' a forum with a new link/entry. Otherwise, LDM assumes that you don't want this to happen.

roger.
hmm. then its not working for me anymore. :( note: it was working for me before. It just had a few bugs as mentioned...but it was making threads succesfully (and I was associatign it to forums).

but not since rc3 install.

Also, again, there is no intuitive instruction that let's the user know it will create a thread...so there is no way to know how to associate it. You mentioned this message was updated...but I don't see any changes. In any case, this is what I do to "associate" it with a forum:

1. add link
2. fill out name, description, file to upload (for example) and other basic info
3. select a Parent Category
4. select Parent Forum (again, I thought this message was updated?--write now it still just says "Parent Forum| Defines Viewing Permissions)
5. make sure user has appropriate permissions for Parent Forum chosen and its an open forum.
6. submit

Am I missing something? Last version that worked, but this time it does do anything (no new thread is created). any thoughts?

Can you send me a PM with details of your board, ideally an admin account and password. I'm not very good at reading minds - and RC3 works fine for me - I hope it's something trivial that we are overlooking.

sent :)

OK, things are working again.

Problem was that you'd changed the text of the ldm_accepted_and_thread_created phrase. This was killing the 'build new post' routine, but no error was being produced. I've modified the phrase and things are working ok, as you can tell by looking in your multimedia downloads forum.

Edited:

Your version of the ldm_accepted_and_thread_created phrase killed things without warning because you put everything between QUOTE tags - in other words VBulletin thought that everything was an old message, with nothing new added by you. So it generated a 'message too short' error.

Coming back to this problem. Your image shows a url that starts www.mysite.net. Is this really what you are seeing? Or have you edited this?

The rest of the url is indeed the correct link to your avatar - I took a download of the relevant tables from your database, and it's correct.

My Users can't add links.

All permissions set fine (i think)... If they add a link, they get the screen adding a page, can add Name and Description, but the fields behind "URL" and "Picture" are not there... There is no inputfiled....

Any ideas ? (if this is a known problem: SORRY, please point my tp the right post. I really searched this thread about this Topic :D )

My Version is 2.1.6

Thanks dudes.

This is not a known problem, and I'm bemused. Can you send me a PM with details of your site?

In usegroups I created new usergroup "users download".

Then I created user "Test" and I set his his primary group "registered users" a secondary group "users download". In LDM settings is for this "users download" group set, they can add and edit links, but it isn't works. When I set group "users download" like his primary group and "registered users" like secondary, feature add & edit links works fine. Where is the problem? Must be a group, which is set in LDM always set like primary in VB settings dor this user "Test"?

My version LDM is 2.1.6

thx

Andrew, PM sent.

Thanks :D

yup. that's really what I see... I didn't edit it.
here's what I see (right click >> properties):

interesting I don't remember that being an avatar last version.. but eitherway it only started breaking this version (rc3). Other postbit styles don't seem to have any issue either.

dunno. :/

that is what i see too kind of its a red X and when i click properties that is the link i get to the picture....as i posted about this too...

post #1609

http://www.teamrespawn.com/vBulletin/local_links.php if you want to take a look and see...you should be able look without me changing permissions but if you cannot let me know.

OK, I think I understand the problem - am too tired to fix tonight (just had a nice dinner)

no problem as long as i know its not just me!

thanks so much andrew!

I've checked - there is a bug in the code - it's not correctly checking the secondary usergroups. Thanks for reporting this - I'll fix it in the next release

okay andrewd i have a problem....just got notified....not sure if it has anything to do with what you fixed earlier but figured i would ask...

mySQL query error: SELECT * FROM games_settings

mySQL error: Table 'Tyegurl2.games_settings' doesn't exist
mySQL error code:
Date: Thursday 06th of April 2006 04:19:53 PM


my games are gone

nm just checked my plugins on a whim and somehow it got deleted....i have it back or should at least...darn yep but all my scores are gone.....oh well nm ty anyways :)

I hope that this was nothing to do with me .. what I did was install a new plugin into LDM which is independent of other hacks .. sorry if I have contributed to a new problem

Is possible to make no upload limit in LDM for admin, or some usergroup?
Now is limit defined from VBulletin.

Hi Andrew,

I applied this patch and I still am missing the custom avatar.
Here is a test post to look at.
http://www.bloodbanktalk.com/forum/l...ks.php?catid=9

Thanks, Cliff

Thanks, Cliff. I'd overlooked another way of handling avatars. Will be fixed.

Unfortunately, I can't safely solve this with the plugin, so bear with me a while.

change it in your php.ini file i did...

lol forgot to say what i was talking about,...

Upload size!! lol change it in the server root php.ini file..

i had to make my own and put it in the root. but it works.

Take a look at the can_link_files permissions on the LDM admin page - and if these seem ok, take a look at them by doing an 'edit category' and viewing the third tab.

If the code is working properly, the only way you can get the behaviour you are seeing with 'add link' is when this permissions is turned off for the relevant user groups.

Andrew... my "issue" with file names is back. Even though I'm running 2.1.6 After I upload a file, it works for a while if you right-click save as, but then after a little bit of time passes, you right click save as, and it reverts to the "protected name" with all numbers. What's even more confusing, is that it only happens with some files, not all of them. In order to see it, you'll have to sign up on the site, and I'll give you access to the members downloads, then you'll see some of them save as the wrong names, some don't.

www.limmac.org

OK, will do.
