This has been developed/supported for over four years, and, as far as I know, there have been no serious problems (touch wood!) during that time. If you want to take full advantage of its flexibility, there's a certain amount of learning required, but within reason, I will help sort out any difficulties you have at the start. There are a number of sites using this addon to handle large numbers of downloads; others which provide a small library of files.

After reading your instructions in the zip, I think I'll give it a go. BTW, those are the best written and easiest to understand set of instructions I've read in any products here. VGJ!

got this error when attempting to install extra "patch forumhome thumbs"

:(

nvm.

but I still can't get it to appear. ;(

Different request and bug:

1) When using autocreate thread....
is it possible to have it post the associated image at a controlled size? (maybe there is a setting...but I couldn't find it :()

eg:
- if I upload a wallpaper to LDM and autocreate, it posts the image full size in the created thread.

This kinda defeats the purpose of thumbnails, and previews and downloading etc in LDM for images or things where the image matters. And also it breaks the size width restrictrions I have set for the forums.

so I would love if I could set the size of the image that gets posted in the autocreated thread. (maybe associate it with the enlarged thumbnail image size setting LDM? ie: link_imagemagsize )


2) BUG?
Flash Uploader with progress meter is awesome! and looks great...
I just can't get it to work. heh :(

ie: it looks like its working... but no matter what file I upload it ends in: "File rejected by server" error pop. (and red bar)

If I turn off the flash uploader plugins (disable them in plugin manager) ... uploads work fine again.

OK, will take a look

Yes, I'd found this bug and I have the fix ready. It's releated to the new CSRF mechanisms in vBulletin. All you need to do is edit local_links_ajax.php (main forum directory)

After the line
add

That part of vbulletin is looking for syntax errors in templates. I imagine you edited the forumhome template? Check what you've done.

This isn't easy for me to fix without rewriting the interface between LDM and vb. The autocreator simply drops an img bbcode into the post, and that does not have a mechanism for resizing.

However, I tried the Image Resizer hack - see https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1493771 - and this works fine

I have a problem with my favourites. I can add favourites but I can not withdraw. can you help me if you like. why i can't remove my favorites ?

Thank you

Apologies for this, and thanks for the report.

There is a bug, which I introduced part way through the 2.2.9 development. I've found it, and the fix will be uploaded in the next few days.

Hi AndrewD

You probably don't remember me, but I have been a long time user of this mod and probably over a year ago now I asked you if it would be possible to make LDM automatically delete files that had been uploaded after a number of days from a category of my choosing. well since then I have fallen out of love with what my site is about and lost interest in it, but I have now got a renewed vigor for it all again and will be upgrading everything and hopefully move my site forward.

Anyway, that my little story, and obviously I am wondering if you did ever work out how to do it or is it something you would consider looking into again?

cheers
Ian
