will be in the next 2.3.0 release

an extra to display some LDM stats on the admincp will be available with the next 2.3.0 release

Good point. For the time being, the easiest solution is to move the "closed" message from the category title bar to the entries title bar, and this will be done in the next 2.3.0 release.

Many thanks Andrew.

hello screen or demo?

Try the on-line wiki, url in the header post.

I think an option will be good if it's possible :

"Subscribe to This categorie"

thanks

I have see that we can limit the download for the guests in a day and it works very good. But the favorites and nominations doesn't works for theme (it works but there isn't difference for the guests, if a guest put the entree "a" as favorite for exemple, all of the other guests will see the entree "a" as favorit for theme.

Hi Andrew, I found a small problem with display of the menu option "What's New". (local_links_search.php?action=find&catid=-8)

At the moment the shown items was limited by the parameter from "links_seen_on_portal", but I thought it was unnecessary to limit this one.

I set this parameter with 20, so the stats at the right side had a good look. But it was not good for "What's New", 20 was too less.

I hope you can change this setting in 2.3.0, or may be you can tell me how to fix it myself. Thanks a lot.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking that LDM can recognise different guest users. Unfortunately, all guests are considered (by the vBulletin infrastructure) to have the same userid. The only other way to distinguish people is by their IP address, but this is not reliable - IP addresses change for the same computer and people use different computers. So I can't see a way to allow guest users to create their own personal favourites and nominations (or have their own allowances). Surely the better approach is to get them to register?

I agree, there is no reason to restrict this list. It should be paginated. I'll see what I can do.

I think this is the final 2.3.0 code. There are a few changes since the release candidates, according to requests received:

+ Main display
Moved 'category closed' message from category bar to entry bar
+ 'Show...'
No longer limits number of 'What's Hot/What's New' entries to *links_seen_on_portal*
+ Extras
patch-admincp adds LDM statistics to the vB admincp
Changed the patch-forumhome extras to use $template_hook instead of requiring template edits
Changed WimpyButton to use its javascript interface, enables pausing of multiple players
+ Bug fixes
Fixed moderation of new categories submitted by non-moderators
Fixed xml playlist handling for JWPlayer
Fixed templates for multicolumn settings of vbAdvanced modules
Fixed admin import/export of material containing html entities
Fixed admin import/export of keywords

Those who use the WimpyButton and/or other Wimpy players - there have been some changes to the directories in which the various files are held, and the registration code for the WimpyButton is now entered in the Javascript file rather than via the LDM 'extra'. Please take a look at the 'readme.txt' file.

I will be very grateful for updated French, German, Dutch and Spanish translations.

Reports please - I would like to make this the official release in a few days.

Thanks for this new version. Installed but I don't see the button of wimpy in the portal and in the library.

I have put correctly the registrations code. Jw player isn't active for mp3. Wimpy player isn't active.

I haven't modified the var wimpySwf = "clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf

Vbadvanced :

www.home.fr/index.php

Clientscript wimpy :

www.home.fr/forum/clientscript/wimpy

I must modifie the var wimpySwf ?

thanks

From what I can see, you did not reinstall the product, nor the plugins. I have done this for you and ask you to check that everything is working.

<div align="left">Thanks very mush. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Yet I install and uninstall the plugins of wimpy several times before coming to write here.

Wimpy button works now in the library bur it doesn't works in vbadvanced.
</div>

The 'edit' link next to the parent forum name in the Permissions page just reopens the same default permissions page in a new tab. Shouldn't it open the permissions page specific to that category (ie: local_links.php?action=editcat&catid=1)?

Awesome mod!

2 quick questions!

1. How do I remove the "Sort By" dropdown from the entries page
2. How do I force the entries pages to be viewed in Short view everytime the page is refreshed or returned to... Obviously when the user is on the page we want them to be able to expand.... but I don't like the fact that it remembers to always stay expanded... I want each refresh of the page to be put back into short view.

thank you!

I don't know why the wimpy button is not working any longer on your vbadvanced pages, but will try to find out. The correct (I think :)) code is certainly been loaded on your home page, and the same code seems to work fine on my site. One possible problem - you have many 'addons' installed on your site, and I can see that others also include javascript. It is possible that these are interacting during the page load process - the javascripts have to initialise themselves.

One thing you should be aware of - there are quite a lot of html errors on your generated home page. I don't think that these will be the cause of this problem.

Actually it should open the vb admincp forum permissions page. There is a variable missing from a global statement in local_links_admin.php. lines 398 onward should read
Thanks for pointing this out.

This would require a template edit. The links_main template has the following sequence at around line 120:

If you change the first line to
that will do the trick.


I can't reproduce this problem. As far as I can see, page refreshes do retain the entries' expand/contract setting, provided cookies are properly enabled.

But, to your main question - how to have the 'short' listing as the default and the standard listing as the alternative. This is quite straightforward with version 2.3.0, possible but requires code edits with 2.2.9.

With version 2.3.0, you first go to the LDM/admincp/linkbits & catbits page, find the links_linkbit_short entry, change the value in the 'collapsed' box from 0 to links_linkbit, and click on 'go' to save the change.

Then go to LDM/admin/settings and set the template_linkbit setting to Short (title, thumb, short description).

This will make the default display 'short' and the alternative 'long'.

It would be optimal if moderators could see if there are files and comments to moderate. Moderators do not have access to the adminCP. I think the notifications menu, which shows how many PM's, VM's, subscribed threads you have, would be optimal for this.


Am I correct to think that LDM has two ways of assigning moderators to a category:

Either by assigning a whole usergroup moderating functionality or by inheritance from forums(which i think also has other effects)?

If this is correct, then could you please add functionality to make specific users, the moderator of a category?

Noted.


Actually, this functionality already exists as of version 2.2.8. There's a setting moderate_usernames on the admin/settings page, also on Add/Edit category pages, to allow you to specify additional users who can moderate.

The other two groups of moderators you identify are correct.

I have searched and searched to answer this on my own but I am at a loss with attributes so please excuse my newbie question::o
I have added 2 attributes that are required when users enter anything into ldm. However they dont show up during entry for anyone admin included but they show up when editing. Ive double checked permissions etc. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

At a bit of a loss. Just to confirm - you are using version 2.3.0 (I assume because you say that the attributes are required), you have given *can_edit_entities* permission to the required usergroups, and you has set *display_entities* to yes.

I'm happy to take a look at your site if you want, but will need an user id with full admin privs to vbulletin.

I believe so yes. I will pm you :) Thanks!

Hi,

Any idea why I can't add categories? When I try to create a new category and click submit the pages just reloads and I still have 0 categories created.

This may be a problem with system resources. Take a look at your vb admincp - there's a box that reads "Welcome to the vbulletin control panel". One of the messages in there will tell you the PHP Memory Limit. This really needs to be 12Mb or more, depending on how many 'extras' you have installed. (You probably have to contact your server manager to get the value changed.)

If this is not the problem, get back to me and I will try to help.

Reply sent. Adding attributes is currently only available with the Add (Single) Entry form, not with the Add multiple form. It's something I still have to sort out.

PHP Memory Limit 32.00 MB

Really don't have much installed either.

Ok. Do you want me to take a look at your site? If so, send me a PM with details of an account that has vbulletin admin privs.

As per my email:

I saw this problem a few months ago with another site protected using the Suhosin module.

The limits that are being imposed by that module are preventing submission of complex forms. I am not an expert with suhosin, but I think the following settings may be to blame:

suhosin.*.max_array_depth
suhosin.*.max_array_index_length
suhosin.*.max_name_length
suhosin.*.max_totalname_length
suhosin.*.max_value_length
suhosin.*.max_vars

where * is get, post and request.

I think you/your server manager needs to increase each of these values quite significantly and restart your web server.

This is not something I can do for you.

I got this great module installed and now I try to get familiar with it

I have one question - i want to change the link name from the forum homepage:
http://www.digidesignresort.com/forum

it?s now called freebies and i want to rename it but by hard i don?t find where i can do it... :(( any ideas?

any help is greatly appreciated as i?m now searching for an answer for hours...

I'm not sure I understand? You just want to change the title 'Freebies' that appears in your main navigation menu? This is done by editing the navbar template, as explained in the Wiki.

But I think I'm misunderstanding your question.

embarrassing but i must say you are not *lol* it´s just that ... searched the wiki but couldn´t find it ... maybe you could link me up? thanks again andrew!

andrew,
never mind - i found it must have been blind. thanks!!!

Hmm... when i tried to test locally in my PC i got this error, what could it be? :eek:

could be that you haven't uploaded includes/local_links_admininclude.php correctly :)

I took another look at your site. I think you need to edit the clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.js file, as follows:

Find:
var wimpySwf = "clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf";
Change to:
var wimpySwf = "/path/to/forum/clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf";

In your case, this would be:
var wimpySwf = "/forum/clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf";

This is explained in the 'readme.txt' for the extra (vbadvanced integration), but it's new with this release so I understand why it would be missed.

Le me know if this works for you.

Thanks very mush Andrew. It works now in the portal and in the library.

In the style of LDM, I have choose brief, and I think it will be good if we have a "stairs" for see the sub sub categorie when we put the cat_sub_display at 2.

Now we have that : (Categorie 01-b is a sub-categorie of Categorie 01-a)

Categorie 01

*Categorie 01-a Categorie 01-b

And I think it will be better with :

Categorie 01

*Categorie 01-a

***Categorie 01-b

OMG... somehow I missed to update some files... I'm a n00b, thanks Andrew :D
Now translating spanish phrases

Thanks so much for the help! :D
