Thanks.

I would like to display an 'upload file' button within each category. Adding a button is relatively easy to do, but I would like the category to be selected on the upload page. I have been looking to find the code.
Here is what I have come up with for the links_main template so far:

Code:

<td class="smallfont"><a href="$LINKS_SCRIPT.php?{$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']}action=addlink&amp;catid=<if condition="$viewcatid"> 

rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="Post new file" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>

But that does not select the category, like it should. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

The LDM Similarthreads plugin has a problem. At least when several thousand visitors try to open threads around the same time.

Threads would not open anymore. A mass of queries where launched. Tables started locking. Here are the queries that where running when my site went down:

Quote:

stop proces 1180 database_name localhost database_name
Query 32 updating DELETE FROM vb6_linksdebug WHERE settingtime <
'1243891011'
stop proces 1181 database_name localhost database_name Query 32
Locked DELETE FROM vb6_linksdebug WHERE settingtime < '1243891011'
stop proces 1183 database_name localhost database_name Query 32

stop proces 1193 database_name localhost database_name Query 32
Locked DELETE FROM vb6_linksdebug WHERE settingtime < '1243891016'
stop proces 1196 database_name localhost database_name Query 32

stop proces 1200 database_name localhost database_name Query 32
Locked DELETE FROM vb6_linksdebug WHERE settingtime < '1243891017'

I deactivated the plugins and all went back to normal.

However, I think the error messages that you are reporting are happening because you have switched on LDM's debug or tracing feature - they are not related to the *similarthreads* plugin. There is no reason at all why you need debug or trace in normal use - all it's doing is adding a lot of overhead in terms of database access. I suggest you disable this feature and see whether the other plugins are still causing problems.

Debug and tracing are found on LDM->admin->debug

Andrew, I suspect that this might be the cause of the indexing problem. I've checked the other two options you listed and they both look fine. It is possible that Google is overlooking URLs that end in ?action=play...
I already have vbSEO installed. Can you suggest a way to change the core format of those URLs so that they are more conventional, without the ?action=play part?

Could you let me know the url of a page on your site that you want Google to scan, then I can see if I have other ideas.

sparklywater

06-10-2009 12:48 PM

This is an example of a page: http://www.sparklywater.com/category/2/stream/1190.html

The URL does not show the ?action=play part because I am using vBSEO to rewrite those URLs. However perhaps Google can still decipher the original URLs and has problems indexing them.

sparklywater

06-10-2009 12:52 PM

By the way, my 'Who's Online' display shows that Google does 'scan' the pages, but it doesn't go on to index them.

I've taken a look at Google, and it is indexing at least some of your stream files. For example, if you enter the search "At the mountains so high site:www.sparklywater.com", it correctly returns a link to the "You Are Never Alone - Zain Bhikha" track.

Other entries, such as the one you pointed out to me (Wonderful World - Connie Talbot), are not indexed, although the essentially identical entry in your "creative arts" forum is being indexed. Perhaps Google doesn't like two pages with virtually the same content?

06-10-2009 02:12 PM

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed. I'll see what I can do to get more of my links indexed :)

At a page with vbadvanced modules, I find the following templates uncached:

links_keysbit
links_othercatsbit(5)
links_ratebit_dropdown(5)
links_reportlinkbit(4)
links_sendtofriendbit(5)

I use 3 instances of ldm_new.php
As far as I can see, I do not need this page to show keywords/keysbit, ratebit, reportlink or sendtofriend. I am not sure what othercatsbit is.

links_keysbit(4)
links_ratebit_dropdown(4)
links_playerbit_JWPlayer (1)

Similar files shows 4 files, but does not show keywords, ratings or a player.

Many thanks for your help.

Thank you. That's a great improvement!

The order in which categories are displayed is incorrect wherever there is a closed category. I am not sure if this is a coincidence.

The template caching for the vba modules is fixed in the 2.3.0RC5 release. The caching for the similarthreads extra will be fixed in the next release. It is necessary to have those templates cached, as the code does not 'know' what will actually be displayed - this depends on the contents of other templates.

I had to turn similar files off again, as it seemed to lead to all kinds of errors. Each of the errors where not directly related. They disappeared when I turned the similar files hack off.

I am running 2.3.0RC5, and have installed the extras, but my vba modules are php modules. How do I turn these ldm_new.php modules into something that uses the imported ldm_new.module?

You have to delete the php files, then go to vb/acp/vb advanced/download upload module

AndrewD

06-14-2009 06:25 AM

I think there has been enough testing of version 2.3.0, so (with further very minor fixes) this is now available in the header post as the officially supported release for vb 3.7 and 3.8.

I'm assuming that you are trying to install the English version.

One way in which this error message can appear is if the product-eirma-ldm.xml file has been corrupted at some stage, for example during the upload.

Line 12001 of this file should read:

Code:

                <phrase name="ll_perms_cat_default_sort_order" date="0" username="" version=""><![CDATA[Default order in which categories are presented]]></phrase>

If the first ">" character has been lost (after version=""), then vbulletin will generate the error you report.

I suggest you re-extract the .zip file and try again with the product-eirma-ldm.xml file

I uninstall LDM and got those SQL error message bombing my email.
So, from this thread, I learned that I need to run the LDM Kill file to completely remove LDM.

But, it gave me this error instead,

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function delete_ldmtables() in /home/nyunyu/public_html/forum/admincp/local_links_kill.php on line 55

Can you help?

Sorry to hear you are having problems. First, what SQL error messages are you receiving? Second, what version of LDM are you running? Had you already deleted the LDM code files? The function delete_ldmtables is in the file includes/local_links_admininclude.php, so that file (and includes/local_links_init.php) must both be present for the kill code to work.

This is the same error, with the corruption now just a line or two earlier. Which software are you using to extract the zip file?

Andrew, I'm using win rar which has always been reliable.

Anything else I should try?

I've just tried winrar and it seems to work ok. Anyway, I attach the unzipped product xml file for you to try.

Still didn't work.

I uploaded all the files again and have gotten different errors at different times.

For example, 12004 once, another time 12001, and another time 11999

I really don't know what to say. There's clearly some problem in the upload process on your site, which is corrupting the xml file. Possibly this is to do with your server settings. If you want me to take a look, send me a PM with full site details including a username and password with full vb admin rights.

Maybe it is the FTP program, maybe you have an uploads manager in your cpanel, if any available.

I posed this problem to the guys at vb.com, who said that XML errors like that are generally related to a php issue. PHP is timing out, or hitting a memory limit. I tend to agree that this is the most likely cause of your problem. I suspect the memory limit is the more likely.

Quick question:

I want to show a splash image but ONLY on the link_main (local_link.php front page).

I added the code to the link_main template. Is there an "if condition" for the template or any other way I can restrict this to only the local_links.php front page? For now it's showing up on ALL local_links pages.

Thanks.

What does "Empty and reinitialise database" do? Empty all entries then reloads them?

I've just linked the categories with forums and would like a new thread created for old links.

If i use "Empty and reinitialise database" will this force creation of new threads now that it's enabled in settings?

Thanks

There is currently no facility to create new threads from old entries. Sorry.
