WICKED once again thanks alot andrew

Oh, attached an example, site is www.boyis.com. They have more complex structure, but this is what i meant.

In 125.jpg, you can see the details for that picture, in this case it can be the linkbit in LDM. Now, if you click the download button a new page is opened, imagine a regular page, with header, navbar & footer, where the content can be download instructions and the full size file, or only the full size file, like 126.jpg.

Good tip, thanks!

So, i edited links_main template... i figured it where is the header i want to move or change, now, i would love to know what does this do? :surprised:

Thanks for your support AndrewD! :bunny:

When you enable user download/bandwith allowances (LDM admincp), $consumption contains the actual and allowed daily usage.

I'll look at your other point tomorrow

Oh, i should test that too. oO

I'll be waiting for your comments on the other question, thanks! ^^

Warning: Unknown(includes/local_links_init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/plugin.php(1232) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required 'includes/local_links_init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ipokiyt/public_html/admincp/plugin.php(1232) : eval()'d code on line 3

Im getting this eeror importing the plugin.

any ideas on this

Thanks

did you upload all files as requested? oO
and created your folders?

Which plugin are you trying to import? Have you installed and set up LDM and is it running correctly?

Have you tried setting up the category so that it uses variations of the links_linkbit_short template and the link_cols_display setting. You can do this for all categories on the LDM admin page or per category/children on the edit category/display settings page. You could set up the links_linkbit_short template to give the overview picture, then the links_linkbit template to give the full download.

Let me know if this is not what you're after.

Oh, im modifying those linkbit templates.

In the end, how can i open the file inside another template?

I want to show my ad banner and below, the full sized image, and if it's a file, just to promt for downloading :)

i have a question-i know its been asked before but i can't seem to find the answer

i have an image as my forum background, and that image is also coming up as the background for the text box, which makes it hard to read..is there a way to change it to a solid color?

thanks, and sorry, i know this has been asked before-but i cant find it :/

I think spanish translation is over... now LDM is "Administrador de Vínculos y Descargas" or AVD ^^

I think i translated everything, but somehow i can't import the file into my board, it says it's an invalid file. ><

EDIT: ¬¬

I forgot the phrases, attached both, product and phrases.

Which text box are you referring to? I'm sure this will be easy to restyle.

Thanks - will be included as part of the next release.

not the box you type in, but the box that recieved messages appear in.

anyone?

has anyone made an addon for the categories with links_linkbit_photo categories where we can display the last X photo submissions or X random images on the forum home from selected LDM categories?

Travelling, sorry - but I'm still not clear which text box you are referring to. Which function are you using when this text box is displayed?

I have searched this thread and could not find anything about this:

I would very much like to connect the reputation system of vBulletin to LDM, so that ratings on the file would affect the reputation of the member posting it. This would greatly improve the amount of files posted.

Andrew, thanks again for this great software. I am enjoying this very much.

You mean the comments box? i see an alt class applied in there, maybe you have an image in your style, that's why the image appears in the background.

Well, i think i found a bug, one of my test folders have 4 entries, i put dates back to 2003, but the folder says it has new entries and that last entrie was in july 2006 not 2003 Oo

:( no luck trying to open image in a new page with my banner and ad on it. Is there a file where i can edit how that works?

I'll think about a plugin - I'm not sure that this is something that everyone will want?

As far as I recall (without checking the code in detail), the 'something new in category' flag is set when something is either added or edited in the category, not when the code had spotted an entry with a current date.

Will have to wait until the weekend to answer this

I moved a download link to a different category today and now when people try to access the old link they get a Would it be possible to add a new error message which states the entry has been moved or some sort of auto-forwarding?

Also as far as alfa's suggestion.. seems like a good idea to me, although I don't use the reputation system on my site.

Any thought on supporting some code to display random images/latest images on forumhome or vbacmps index?

Will add to the 'to do' list - this is a clear bug.

OH, ok, but what about the date, it says las added july 2006 not july 2003, that's weird.

Thanks for the other one, i don't want to start directories scanning without setting this.

Thought there were some modules on the release... o_o

hmm.. true. I didn't think of using the module to show latest pictures, I thought of it mainly for links/files. does it support showing picture thumbnails?

*edit*
just tested. The module will show a link to the picture but it does not display an actual image.

is there a way to make submissions in one category subject to moderation but not submissions in another?

I seem to get a database error after a user submitted a keyword with an apostrophe in it. (actually I'm just assuming that's the error from the message below.. I guess you'd be the one to know for sure)

haha dang.. just noticed my sig got editted which had a cool link to make people nominate this as motm :p

You've been very busy... well, i guess there must be a way to edit modules and add the thumbnail view for them, but i guess it must be resized in some way. At least my thumbs are 200 width... too big :p

OK, i have a doubt... i want to show something similar to editbit or favbit templates and show an icon to download the files, i tried plain html and added $linkurllink in the URL, but it shows the whole path... then i tried $linkurljump but that one is embedded into a <a></a> tag.

Is there any way to show a "Download Link" besides clicking on the name of the file or the image? Oo

Hope i'm clear, thanks. XD

Maybe not all people do not realise it yet, but providing this feature will affect the use and popularity of LDM in general:

Those boards which have their member status upgrades dependant upon reputation(Most large boards) will see a firm increase of the use of LDM, as members are eager to get a higher member status and thus contribute new entries to the LDM to get there.

We now manually bump reputation for this and it really gets the LDM going. Because of this, the LDM is growing so rapidly that at this rate, it will become just as important as the forum itself.

Currently no, but it could be changed. However...

Moderation is tied to the entry, independent of its category/ies. So what should happen if someone places the entry into multiple categories, when only one of these categories requires moderation? Presumably, the new entry will require moderation if any of these categories requires moderation?

Hey Andrew...
nothing but continued praise from me, as you know.

few questions
1. I installed teh lightbox add-on... but its either not working or I can't figure out what it does. right now... I don't see any difference when enlarging a thumbnail. it just opens a new window. :/ did I miss something?

2. any chance of getting providing a url (parsed?) to an uploaded file so that people can link it into posts? [*url="uploadedfilevideo url"]myUploadedvideofile[*/url]

3. sorry I think I missed something. I upgraded to latest version 2.2.1... and is it me? or did the jukebox disappear? (mine now just launches windows media player or quicktime... no more window with the speaker and description underneath). or did I forget to turnon some setting (which I can't seem to find). I have the usergroup can_play_musicbox enabled for appropriate User groups. :/
EDIT: ok. I see what happened for number 3. didn't have the icon path set up and was just clickign the link. doh!

anyway...again... aweseom stuff.

different question..
I have two boards. is it possible to import/transfer LDM files/links from one to the other?

It's linked to the magnifying glass icon. When you install it, the icon will do something rather interesting with the picture rather than opening a new winodw. Try it - perhaps you didn't have your icons directory set, so didn't have the magnifier

I have it set so that one group pretty much handles all the files, links, photos in the LDM. However we would like to have one category which allows for other groups to upload/add entries to a specific category. Since the other categories are controlled by a trusted usergroup there's no need for moderation of their files.

I assume in your example that there would be the general moderation setting as it is now, plus a category moderation setting. If both were set to yes I imagine that new entry would require moderation once for the categories without moderation and another time for the category with moderation. But what would happen if the general moderation setting was set to no and the category moderation were set to yes? I would assume it would work for my purposes so long as the cateogory settings override the general ones so that when the general one is enabled/disabled it doesn't override the category settings.

I've been tinkering around and comparing with a few other hacks and I think a beneficial change for some people would be the ability to list the most recent additions, most popular links/files and members who have contributed the most, right on the ldm home page (instead of having to click the dropdown link). so like some side modules on the ldm start page or maybe one long module that's split up into sections. and for those that didn't want to display them or only some they could enable/disable it in the settings.

Can users of the LDM upload their files to the db therefore allowing the site to host the file for them?

Nevermind- found answer to my question :)
(all hail the MIGHTY "search this thread" function!)

hmm... it says to upload the lightbox icon folder in the forum root folder. is that not right? or was I supposed to add the icons into the LDM icon folder (rather than a new folder - "lightbox-icon")
also, I set the regular icon directory... is that the one you mean?

and did part 2 of my other question make sense? or was it one of those soo silly cause I missed something things that you're waiting for me to just realize that I've been a dork (most likely scenario :p)

The files should all be uploaded into exactly the directories supplied in the addon, and then the plugin xml shouold be imported. Once that's done - at least with Firefox and IE6 - the magnifying glass behaves differently. It's a test towards extending the photo album features of LDM.
