I can't reproduce this problem - it seems to work ok for me. Any further information you can give me?

Hi Andrew,
want to report a little bug and its fix
Timezone offsets aren't integeral at all, they're decimal and casting their type into integeral will broke some submition dates during add/edit Entries
if your forum/user timezone is +/-x:30, all of submitions will differ +/- 30 minutes to original submition time

Here is bugfix:
File: includes/local_links_misc.php, function: get_datetimebit, about line: 1456

Find:
Replace with:
also i would suggest add default check to Update to current date and time option during Add entries, but edit

Thanks;

Only that this happens with downloads that were downloaded a few thousend times (some hundred from registered) - maybe a performance problem?

its seems to be execution timeout or malloc() exhaustion
whats your error_reporting value ? did u change that?

That's the value:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

Hmmm is that your master values?
refer to your PHP error logs and look for FATAL ERRORS

BTW, if it works and suddenly stops seems memory allocation or maybe timeout to me
I would suggest you to increase your memory_limit and max_execution_time valuse in php.ini

I have a folder on my server /videos and in it has months of the year as subfolders with videos for races from my local race track. Would this addon be good for adding all those to a page or threads as a download link with counters? Anybody knows of an addon that can either?

memory_limit is set to 128M - more than enough. I will check for fatal errors.

Edit:
No errors belonging to the site I run LDM.

Thanks - will implement the timezone fix.

For the time being, I will not change the behaviour of the 'update to now' checkbox, but leave it as a suggestion. There's a major site which routinely sets new entries to appear at sometime in the future. Having this box checked by default would be confusing to them. It will need a bit of Javascript to ensure that this box gets unchecked if the user modifies the date/time.

The blank screen and the large number of downloads are clues. I guess that your server is running out of some form of resource - memory or more likely cpu.

By default, vbulletin is not very user friendly with system errors, because of its default 'gzipping' of messages to the user. Have you tried turning off this option? vb/admin/options/cookies and http header options/ set gzip html output to 'no' and save. Then repeat the test and see if you get a message instead of a blank screen.

I'll take a look at the code to see if I can improve efficiency.

Edited: I'm pretty certain that your problem will be that the script is running out of its allowed cpu time. This is because separate email messages are being sent to each person who has accessed the entry. Grouping these messages (i.e. having multiple email addresses as 'bcc' recipients) may be a solution, but this isn't a trivial change to the code and the php documentation is not very clear on what is allowed and what is not allowed.

LDM can automatically create and organise downloads to mirror the directory structure on your server, and will keep track of changes in your directories/subdirectories. I think it can probably do exactly what you want.

Wow thanks I will try it out now.

Thanks AndrewD, I'll take a deeper view on this.

I have downloads which requires registrations, and downloads which requires membership in a specific group. I've set protected_link to 2: hyperlink takes user to registration dialogue.

That's very confusing for users: If they register for the first download they will get the file, if they request to download the second with a specific group they are still redirected to register.php saying they have already registered.

What can I do? It would be great if the user is registered when LDM says they need this and this group to access the download.

Can anyone confirm that by installing vB's Project Tools LDM's active menues like editing Categories inside of them (not in administration) are not working?

Hello,

How do I change the force_accept default text ?

Many Thanks

VinylJunky

How do we make the text editor wider?

i like this prduct and it is very very usefull

i need to make 3gp files work in flash player
flash player last version support 3gp files
but i do not know if wimpy player add support for this or not

if there is ability to add module for it , it will be great
also if there is new feature like grab files from youtube and then inserting in specific category then i will be played by flash player like wimpy or other

i want to dale with u

thank you very much
this product more than perfect but plz add my suggesion features

Another Issue:
Our Modcrew cannot change the "Rename" field (linkfile)

I took a view on the template "links_addnewlink" and read this:

Why this field requires "can_set_permissions"?

i have the upload directory set to /uploads
i got a account at BlugaNet WebThumb and entered my api key
it shows when it makes a pic of the site at BlugaNet WebThumb
when on my site i dont get the pic of the site and when you hit sumit on making a new link you get a link /local_links_actions.php in the url bar and the page says Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
it shows the images uploading to my server and i got the upload folder as /uploads
and it uploads these pictures to /uploads/uploads

I have just installed project tools on my test site alongside LDM, and the menus seem ok.

I have tended to use the *can_set_permissions* permission as a shorthand for 'LDM administrator'. A number of the fields on the add entry and add category forms are kept restricted from standard users, as (way back in the distant history of LDM) the sense was that normal users should not have access to them.

Please take a look here:
http://www.insidetwoworlds.com/local....php?styleid=1

They are greyed out, cannot be clicked. It's with all styles, even reinstall of Product did not help. Before I installed PT they worked :/

I don't want to give them the can_set_permission. In my opinion it makes no sense to have other permissions... Anyway, I have to modify this template.

Well, it should be by modifying the formwidth_usercp setting on the vb style sheet, but I realise that I've missed out a table width parameter in the relevant template.

So modify the formwidth_usercp style variable, and then find this sequence in the links_addnewlink template:

and add a width="100%" field to the table tag.

Now I catched the error with the non working menues. I installed the new vbaCMPS RC2 in the same time like the PT. Using it's "Integration" the menues are disappearing.

I will report this to Brian of vBAdvanced.

Thanks for your efforts anyway, keep up the good work :)

Thank you for greate product!

I consider to use LDM as FAQ database (code snippets, links).
It seems to be nearly 100% fits the task.

The only problem is that I do not find possibility to attache many files to an item.
May be possible to hack LDM to use vBulletin uploads and attachements like for forum posts?

Unfortunately adding the 100% did not work, the editor in LDM was still smaller than the forum. So I changed the 100% to the 640 that matches my formwidth_usercp variable and that worked.

There have been other requests to make this change, but it is not a trivial modification to the logic (everything is based on one entry = one file/link). I still have the request on the list, but I don't think it is likely to get done quickly.

Thanks, I note your requests for file formats and will see what I can do.

I don't take on custom work, but it will not be difficult for a reasonable programmer to do the conversion, for example by translating your existing database tables into LDM's xml import/export format.

Suggest you also take a look at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php/VbAdvanced

Probably what is happening is that the vbadvanced integration omits the LDM javascript menu initialisation.

Seems one has to tag the two divs and the table. Anyway, it will be fixed in the final 2.2.8 release

Is it possible to run many instances of LDM on one installation?
(for links, for files etc)

This is not straightforward - you would have to modify the code to read different initialisation files (includes/local_links_init.php).

However, you can achieve essentially the same effect by structuring your categories in the way you want - have one top level category in which you will create subdirectories for all links and have another for all files, etc. Then, instead of setting up menu links to the top level of LDM, set them up to the main categories.

Another issue:
By clicking on "View Hits" you get the following URL:
http://www.myurl.com/local_links_adm...nt=0&linkid=21

If you want to page through the records, you get f.e. this URL for the second page:
http://www.myurl.com/local_links_adm...page=25&page=2

On my server this page has always no rows, regardless which page I call.

Thanks, will check. There's a parameter missing from the url. Just to confirm - you are still using 2.2.8 RC2?

Yes, 2.2.8 RC2 upgraded directly from 2.2.7

If you need admin permission on my db contact me via PM.

Hi!
I have "allow_html" setted to Yes and when i insert my Google Adsense code into description, ads never shows...:(
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.
Regards!

I have not tried this myself. Can you send me a PM with more details of the code you are including?

I'm probably just missing this somewhere but how can I allow a specific usergroup to add a sub category under a specific category only without giving that group global permission to add categories? Also, is there a way to allow a specific user to only be able to edit a category they add?

This is not a feature at present, but there is no real reason why this is not already the case and it is a trivial change to the code to make it possible. Do you wish me to make this the case in the final version of 2.2.8, or do you want instructions on how to patch the code?

Yes: if you give a usergroup *can_add_category* permission but not *can_edit_category* permission, then users in that group can always edit categories they add themselves, but no others.

Why both of course. :D

By the way, when you set the template_altbit to bold you get this in the bottom right hand corner.
