Sounds good.
Thanks for this information. :)

i have downloaded this, but have yet to install it.. and haven't had a chance to look at it installed anywhere else.. so a couple of questions..

does this allow for comments by members?

are you going to make a place for members based uploads? of course these uploads are moderated before added to the downloads/links catagories so they can be verified first.

and if so, will you incorporate a file manager type interface.. a kin to the vbftp from erwin, so the admin can move files around and place them in folders on the server that correspond to the way the admin would like the files stored? that way you don't have to log in to ftp/ssh to move files around.. would be ultra handy and quite fast.. this part can actually be done with Erwins hack.. so you might could incorporate that.. or just tell folks to use that as a file manager since it is only available in the admincp..

anyway, these are just a few ideas.. but member comments, ratings and things like that would be very handy.. i saw that you mentioned a ratings system..

thanks for any info you can offer me relating to these ideas.. even if they do suck.. :/

You can see this on my forum www.mobileforces.org - PM me for a temp login/pwd if u dont wanna sign up ...

I am having an issue with the links not showing up. It installed without a hitch. After that I went in and setup some categories and then added a link. The link shows up under the admin panel as an available link but when I go to the category it is not there. I thought maybe the link was the problem but I have since put links in for google and several other sites and they all get listed as broken and nothing shows up.

Any help would be appreciated.

How can I use it with File storage? See only links ...

All you have to do is upload all of the files and then use the hack to list the link to the directory where they are stored.

Obsidian - which "forum" did you assign the link to? - this is used as a permissions check. Links are only visible to users that could access the specified forum.

Try pointing your browser at http://yoursite/forum/local_links.ph...n=show&check=1, forum/local_links.php?action=show&check=0 and forum/local_links.php?action=show&check=-1 - these will show you all the valid, inaccessible links and invalid links.

If all that fails, pm me a dump of the five sql tables local_link* and I'll try to see what's going on.

does this allow for comments by members? - not yet, but I plan to add a star rating - would comments be better?

are you going to make a place for members based uploads? - not at present, this can be done with other utilities as you mention. you can then use this hack to link to the uploads, although I might think about this later. I'll just document the possibility

and if so, will you incorporate a file manager type interface.. see previous

even if they do suck.. : no, not at all... thanks

I went back through everything to verify that I had done the install correctly. I thought that one of the templates might be messed up since everything was showing in the database. I deleted all of the templates and then created new ones and its up and running now. Something must not have pasted correctly. Thanks for the help though....I am using your hack to setup an internal documentation control system similiar to the one on your demo link. Lots of possibilites.

You have to point to an actual file ...
