Nice but as you say..


Yes, I'd spotted that - it's fixed in the next version (they all say that, don't they...) backslash r and backslash n are the codes for a new line, and shoould come out as such.


Do you want me to take a look? Send me a PM with site details and an admin pwd if so.

Funny thing is that the next question on the forum points to the answer.

The url you need to play entry XX in category YY is the following

Be aware that the remote player will seem to LDM as if it is an unregistered user, so you must set up things so that unregistered users have access.

What format video file and which player is it launching?

Happy to lend a hand - send me a PM with site details if you want.

local_links_admin.php?set=permissions is really mixed up in my LDM. This is the first time I have noticed this. I am using the vb standard style. Is this a bug of 2.2.7?

I've forgotten your site details - send me a PM

I've sent you a pm.

Is there software somewhere that allows me to create thumbs of video's?

Thanks for answering Andrew! :D

im tryin to stream mpeg or mpg files and the windows media player launches.. but i also tried with quicktime and real player. :( :( but no luck.

Are you using full urls to the video files or local file names? With full urls, the resources needed to read the file are *much* larger than with local files. Depending on the precise video format, the media player sometimes expects to be given the entire file before starting to play. With large files on a remote site, it never gets everything - LDM uses all its allowed resources.

The problem may be somewhere else but I would need to access your site to find out.

how would i import my cats and downloads off downloadsII into LDM.

also

how would i make this code show random thumbs

ok i am trying to stream it with the stream feature, not the full url.. the full url works. But even streaming using the stream feature (so that the actual url of the file is not located on the web), dont work either.. will shoot you a PM with my site details.. thanks.

Sorry I searched but didn't see anything other than another person asking the same question. After upgrading to 3.6.7 I get when I try to click a link to download. I was running 2.2.5 and just upgraded to 2.2.7 thinking that might fix it but I'm getting the same message. Everything worked fine on 3.6.4 a few days ago. Is this a simple fix?

How do I make it so that I can set no restrictions on certain user groups downloads and uploads?

Can anyone help me to reset a user downloaded files history?
Thanks a lot.
Regards!

Select "Tidy hits table" and the date range you want to delete hits for. don't forget to archive it before (if you like!)

http://www.yoursite.com/local_links_...et=permissions (go to LDM-->Administer-->Permissions)
can_access_link--> make a check mark near each usergroup that should get access to download files....

now i have a question :d
what does this option in vba_modules/ldm_new_thumb.module do?
i have selected YES for Show Category Name but it doesn't change anything in display!
in portal i get these links for thumbs...
http://www.site.com/local_links.php?catid=&linkid=3518 where no CATID is shown!

Thanks for your reply, but i need to delete the history of ONE user.
For example, i need to delete all the download history from user "test".
Do you understand?
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.
Regards!

Is there a way to restrict certain groups from downloading based on the time of the day?

i am not sure, but as far as i could see, there was no option for this. you should wait until Andrew reads you post

Without playing around with DownloadsII, I can't tell you in detail.

LDM has three key database tables that you need to fill -

- linkslink - one entry per download
- linkscat - one entry per category
- one entry per download per category in which you've placed it

You can write some code to transcribe the relevant tables from DownloadsII to this format.

Alternatively, you can try dumping the downloads and categories tables from DownloadsII and reformating them into the .xml or ,csv formats (.xml is better) that LDM can import

This is from the patch-forumhome-thumbs plugin, right?

Attached is the modified version which shows random selections. Basically, you just change "linkdate DESC" to "RAND()"

This message is produced when LDM fails to access the underlying url/file when you try to start a jump/download. It usually means that there's an error in the url, for example something's moved.

thx alot m8 just what i needed but also none of the vbadvanced modules work im using vbadvanced 3.0 i tried altering the code so far i got the box showing just no info in it like the cats list.

This isn't built in - I'll add it to the 'to do' list.

Meanwhile you can achieve this by executing the following SQL (vb admincp or phpmyadmin, etc):

DELETE FROM local_linksdownloads WHERE userid=N

where you replace N by the relevant userid

(if you've change the LDM table prefix, replace local_ by the appropriate prefix)

I'll look into this - I did a quick test with vbadvanced 3.0 yesterday and things seemed ok.

Not built in. It is easy to achieve this with a plugin, and I will add it to the next release if you need it.

My oversight... As far as I can see (will check), I failed to implement this parameter in the code for this module. It's supposed to be consistent with the other modules.


Bug in the adv_portal_custom_ldm_new_thumb_one template, sorry.

$catid should be $linkcatid

i have imported the vba modules and nothings showing up on the index page they are active but nothings there

also the plugin to post newthread on forums on new listing is not posting anything any ideas ?

Can I take a look at your board - there's probably something obvious but I'm not thinking very clearly. Send me a PM if you want.

m8 its a private board i dont give out url its invite only sorry can u just add a module to vbadvance 3.0 with vb3.6.7 running and download and attach i will try that file :P sorry.

Hi Andrew,

How do I find the url to link to a search query? I'd like to use keywords to generate forum topic specific links to relating files in LDM. i.e. use the url of a search query result and post that as a link.

Many thanks for your support.

I'll add it to the list of things to do.

also m8 is it possible to add a different icon per cat like for php there is a php image like the attahcment images. :P

thank you very much
i just needed that bugfix in template, because i have set seo_friendly to yes.
btw. how do i change local_links to download in this url (using mod_rewrite & vbSEO)

thanks

This is explained in http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...e_Optimisation

You can have different category icons (standard cat, cat with new entries, subcategories) on a per-category basis. Edit the category of interest, select the second tab on the top (Control settings) and find cat_icon, etc.

You (re)set these by providing the name of the icon you want to use, which has to be in the LDM icons directory.

This works hierarchically - any subcategories in that category will use the new settings unless over-ridden there.

You can't change the file type icons on a per-category basis, but you can add any new filetype icons you want, simply by dropping a file called filetype.gif/jpg/png into the icons directory. So if you added a file asf.gif, then downloads which are .asf file will be illustrated with that icon.

Have I understood your question correctly?

thx m8 will give it ago also the descriptions of my downloads are sending the content right off the page because its not wrapping whys this m8.

I see this description of RSS feeds in your wish list:Does this cover implementing the RSS feeds of flash video sites(google video et al) to get the video's in the desired feeds to play in the jukebox, with the flash video add on?
If not, can you please add this request to your wish list?

That was one of my wishes Alfa1 :)

I was thinking more along the lines of just links ..

Yes thank you. It is essential for my site. Any idea when this feature will be available? I don't want to sound pushy, merely inquiring.
