as usual... keep up the incredible work. you have many a fan ;)


ps. that bug fix worked! thanks!! :D

Hi, Ian, yes I remember.

I implemented a mechanism whereby entries in a category 'expire' after a certain number of days, e.g. 10 days. When they expire, they become hidden in that category (at least as far as most users are concerned), and they can optionally be moved to - and become visible in - a new category (which might have another expiry period).

I didn't implement a mechanism to 'autodelete' the expired files, but it is straightforward (I think) to provide a 'plug in' which will delete, e.g., all the expired entries in a given category. I will give this some thought and report back.

So if you really want to kill the files as well as expire then, you would set up LDM to expire entries after N days, then move them to a new category, and use this separate plugin to kill the files.

The expiry mechanism has another use also - when an expiry date is set for a category, then entries in that category only become visible to most users on their submission date. Since it is possible to post-date entries, you can set up categories in advance, knowing that entries will appear and disappear when required.

Final (I hope) release of version 2.2.9 released today. Works with vb 3.6 and 3.7

Main displays
*show_moderators_catbit* controls whether to display list of moderators in category header

Extras
Fixed *swfupload* extra to work with CSRF protection
Changed *Wimpy* file structure to reflect current directory conventions
Added *delete-expired* extra which auto-deletes entries sometime after expiry

Bug fixes
Fixed Hit recording for media files handled by url-based players
Fixed Player selection when handling local file with *local_file_root* enabled
Fixed Add/Remove Favourite
Continued work on using correct per-category settings/permissions when displaying entries 'out of context'

That is excellent.

I will be upgrading to the new VB at the weekend and will give this option a damn thorough test ;)

Thanks Andrew.

OMG! No, No!!! I'm not done translating :eek:

:( I'll try to work on it this week

Is it possible to show a default icon for video's? A small camera or something alike?

I have to say Andrew has been great helping me with this.
His support goes way beyond what most folks would do.

Thanks Andrew

LDM selects an icon based on the filetype, e.g. if you have a file xxxxx.avi, then it looks for an icon called avi.gif or avi.png or avi.jpg in whichever directory you have set up as the LDM icons directory. So you can change this simply by replacing the existing filetype icon.

If you find a good one, let me know and I can add it to one of the standard icon sets - there are now three sets with the release.

Thanks for the final version, upgrading now. I'm loving the flash upload bar a lot thanks!

Andrew has the best support for any mod in vb.org, no doubt about it! :D

I'm half way trough translation! :p
