legend

Keep in mind that to be sure that the new filetype behaves correctly when it's downloaded, you may need to provide the "mimetype" information in VB/admincp/file types.

Yo can find mimetype information all over the internet, e.g. at http://www.utoronto.ca/ian/books/xht.../mimetype.html

Yo specify it in VB using a string like (for jpg)
Content-type: image/jpeg

Thanks, you are a legend....

Do you know what the text is for the links?

The same, surely? If I edit the font element of the legend css, the text changes size

You are so right, thanks for that, I must be having my silly pills today.:)

Have you every thought about the category icons (folder icon) images being changable between categories, I would think this could be just another entry in the Display settings for the particular category. It this a possability?

Andrew, thanks for the fast response! I've managed to get the featured sites part working :D huge thanks!

and also, really glad that you'll consider my suggestions :D way to go!

Isn't this already there? It's the cat_icon, cat_icon_new and subcat_icon in Edit category/Display settings

thanks, sorry I missed that option, didn't realise it was already there.

Quick Question before i decide whether to install or not,

Is it possible to mass Upload like 30 files to the server to a specific folder?? or are the files each uploaded one at a time?

If you use an FTP client, you can mass upload as many files as you want, and LDM can then scan the directory and mass insert them into one of its categories. You can also rescan that directory later and add only the files that are new/omitted the previous times.

LDM itself handles uploads one at a time. There is a request to extend it to behavesthe way VB behave (e.g. a variable number of uploads) but I need to see how/if this can be achieved in a sensible way.

Hey guys plesae vote for LDM as the Mod of the Month. A lot of time has been put into this and its a good way to show our appreciation for Andrew's hard work.

done :) and well deserved.

I have yet to install this mod (waiting for 3.6.0 gold) but I have voted for this.
Planning on using this once it gets updated to 3.6.0. Thanks AndrewD.

Thanks, guys

GrendelKhan - I mocked up an embedded Jukebox for you over the weekend. I'd like you to take a first look before I upload it in the next beta. Can you send me a PM with an email address, pls.

awesome! pm-ed you :)

YAY! Vote, vote!!! ^^

It's got my vote. I haven't kept up on installing the last couple of releases though.

FYI 2.21 does not work with VB 6 Beta 4 however 2.2.2 Beta 2 does work with Vb 6 beta 4

suggest if going to install Beta 4 to upgrade to 2.2.2 Beta 2 first

Just followed the install instructions but I get an error: problem with forum DB. Where does LDM pickup its sql connection details?

Guys, lets vote for LDM to be the HOTM July! Please vote!

/me clicks vote

Thats a hard battle tho

My favorite part is the "links_linkbit_greg" :D I'm spehshul!

Hey all, this part of the install is a little murky:

Run the Product Management System (VB admincp: Plugin System/Manage Products). Select Add/Import Product.

Does that mean running <server>/forums/local_links_admin.php


Any advice? I'd like to vote for this app as well, but something just aint happening.

Ok sorry, figured it out :) but I have a new question relating to uploads.

I get this error on upload:
"Upload error - unable to create a user subdirectory on server. Return". I searched this forum thread and saw some mention of CHMOD for the downloads/uploads directory. Checked that and it seems fine.

I have the following settings:

local_file_root=yes
Directory Prefix=/home/username/public_html/forums/
Uploads Dir = ./downloads/

Actual PWD response from shell: /home/username/public_html/forums

From /home/username/public_html/forums: ls -la
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 7 20:44 downloads/


root@blah [/home/username/public_html/forums]# ps -ef | grep httpd

Hi.
suddenly the sorting is not working.

can any one help?

I found that if I CHMOD 777 on my uploads directory that I could upload, but this is a big security risk. I guess I know its a permissions error at least :)

How about adding an EDIT button on the submitted link page? Right now I am hunting how to edit the link description, and it would be intuitive if EDIT was available as with usual VB forum posts.

:)

click on the pencil ;)

Been away for a few days - all questions seem to be answered?

I'm using LDM v2.1.6 and want to upgrade. All I have to do is overwrite the files on my server with LDM v2.2.2b2 files and input the product-eirma_ldm.xml having it overwrite the previous files?

Will this change any of my settings or permissions I have now?

Cheers

Hi.
suddenly the sorting is not working.

can any one help?

That's correct. You will not lose any settings or permissions.

It's a good idea to take a database backup before any upgrade.

In what sense is it not working? - sorting seems fine on my test and production sites.

I tried to take a look at your site, unfortunately I'm linguistically challenged :)

I have two quick questions, one I see several mentions of versions higher then 2.2.2 Beta but can not find where to download the most up to date versions.

Also when I click on Catagory link I created with a test file since upgrading to 2.2.2 I get this error?


Warning: main(DIR/includes/local_links_init.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/leaguegu/public_html/local_links.php on line 105

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/local_links_init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/leaguegu/public_html/local_links.php on line 105

Can anyone help me get this mod up and running. I want users to be able to upload files as well as download them ASAP at my site.

Thanks in advance, if this helps this is a link to my sites forums.

http://leagueguru.com/forums/index.php

Follow the files link in nav bar

This error message says that the file local_links_init.php cannot be found in your includes directory. So I think you have not uploaded all the code into the correct places. Basically, the files in release/forum in the zip file need to go into the corresponding places in your forums directory/subdirectories.

** Edited = I took a look at your site, and I see the problem. Go to your main VB admincp and take a look at the setting of the Forum URL (admincp/site name) - I imagine that this is pointing to your home directory rather than your forum directory - http://leagueguru.com/forums


2.2.2 beta 2 is the latest test version and 2.2.1 is the formally supported version. 2.2.2 beta 2 seems to be working fine, but there are several items that I'm still working on before this goes 'gold'. I would expect that 2.2.2 will become the official version when vb 3.6 is also official.

It was working until the few last days , now when I want to sort , I get always the same position.
You can test yourself :

The sort by is in the left of the screen.
You can test it and see that nothing change.

Thanks in advance,
Efil.

Thanks alot that was a complete "Homer" on my behalf...DOH....:banana: :banana:

I have a usergroup with permission to view a forum, post to a forum, can add links in LDM, allowed to upload in LDM but when they go to and file catagory, they don't get the option to Upload Files. All my other user groups have no problem and they get this option. Any ideas?

Thanks

How does one change that?? Thats the problem i am having.

I remember that there is an option for us to let LDM find and up date or files are up loaded by ftp.

I can not file this options in version 2.2.1
