Thanks for the quick reply Andrew! I will ask the guys over at vbdrupal about changing their function name. How much code modification would it take to get your mod to work? So I just change the name of the function and the code that references that function and it's all good?

I'll check it out!

Thanks,

Sean

Andrew, I made the changes and the program is working fine!

Thanks for the quick and very informative reply!

You're doing a great job supporting your awsome FREE program!

Sean

WOW! Andrew has had a lot of posts this week... :D

Great Job, Great Job!

Already translating spanish phrases... it's the best i can do for LDM! :)

As per PM, just for the record...

Boy, the first problem (images not shown when forum turned off) is a bit obscure...

The image that is shown on the portal is actually constructed "on the fly", not read directly from the file. The script that creates it (local_resize.php) is being told that your forums are switched off, so does not run.

The fix is to edit local_resize.php, find the line

and comment it out, i.e.

I'll fix this in the next release.


As far as I can see this working correctly. I gave your (my) usergroup an allowance of 1 file and 292K per day, downloaded benjamin once, then tried to download it a second time and it told me that I had used up all my allowances.

LDM deliberately allows you to exceed your bandwith allowance with the current transfer, i.e. if downloading the file will take you over the allowance, that's ok, but it will not start the download if the allowance is already exceeded.


Another point - for your sample download (benyamin.zip), you had set up both the entry and the image using a full url to your own site. This works, but it will be *much* more expensive in server load than giving just the filename relative to your site, i.e. just as /downloads/music/albums/benyamin/Benyamin - 85.zip. I've edited the example to show you what I mean. This downloads faster and places less load on your server.



Noted - several people have asked for this - it requires a bit of redesign to do this cleanly, so I will think whether/how to best handle your request.

Let me know that everything is now ok.

thank you Andrew for your time and help
it wasn't working before, so i tried everything and then asked you for help.
could you please tell me what was the reason it wasn't working? (any settings i may have forgotten?!...)

i have first entered in the same way you explained, but somehow the images were not being shown, so i just done some testings :D


once again i would like to thank you for your support.
everything is working perfect.

I didn't do anything!! One of the great mysteries of life...

Hi there Andrew.

Thank you for your response earlier.. :)

I have a new issue.

We have the Terms of Use Accept/Decline turned on. I know that when you had it set up so it showed when they downloaded, there was an issue with folks using a download manager.. well we are running into a similiar issue, but most are not using a download manager.

Here is thread where I'm asking them to define their environment.

http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6558

The issue is that when they click Accept, it looks like it's forwarding them, but instead, sends them back to the Accept/Decline page. We *really* want to use this feature on the site as there is a lot of sharing of graphic files and a reminder is always nice ;) Any ideas?

One of your users has remarked that they can prevent the problem by temporarily turning off their firewall. I think this gives a hint.

LDM records that people 'accept' the terms of agreement by storing a cookie on their PC. This cookie lasts for 24 hours. If, for any reason, the PC refuses to create the cookie, or if LDM is not told about it, then I realise that the software will get thrown into this loop and keep asking the same question.

I had missed this possibility - it may be related to the growing concern around the web about security. I will have to find a different approach. In the meantime, it will be very helpful to learn what firewall and what antivirus software people are using who experience this problem.
