I think I may have found a bug. It seems everyone can see the "hidden" links. Ive double checked the usergroup permissions, they should not be able to view hidden, but alas they can.
Can someone confirm this?

Riki

Riki, from a quick check, things seem to be working as they should - this doesn't mean 'no problem' - just 'I can't reproduce'. Do you want me to take a look?

If it's doing that, then it's finding the directory correctly. So it should be working correctly if the icons are there and the directory is accessible to php.

Send me a pm if you want me to take a look.

Try going to one of the LDM admin pages and look down the left of the page for the Statistics box. There should be a mention of the number of thumbs that it thinks are cached. Click on the hyperlink on 'cached' to reset and see if that fixes the problem

Andrew,

Is there a way to configure this MOD to add an item in the directory where the original contributor can attach multiple attachments, while allowing other members to add additional attachments to the item? Naturally, I would like all the submissions to be moderated.

What I am trying to do is allow my members to add a resource (new link) and attach more than one GPS file to the resource. As other members review the resource they may want to add additional GPS files to the already posted resource. Is this possible with this MOD?

Thanks, PM sent!

I don't think I will ever finish this hack...

I think the permissions system is not currently set up to allow what you are wanting - entry attributes/attachments were only introduced in this version, and the possibility that different people would add them to someone else's entry did not occur to me. I will give this some thought for a subsequent version if you feel this is justified.

My ultimate goal is that all file downloads are done via hard coded URL links posted in posts that look like this "http://uber-goober.com/forums/local_links.php?action=jump&linkid=931". This makes a popup box appear and the user can download just that one file.

However...

(1) When I new user signs on for the first time he finds a file he wants to download:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM1.png

(2) So he clicks the hyperlink and gets the prompt for accepting the download terms:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM2.png

(3) He clicks Continue and gets:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM3.png

(4) He clicks Go and sees:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM4.png

(5) OK, first of all he isn't supposed to see this screen ever, he is just supposed to get a popup box asking him where he wants to save the file. Regardless, now he can do/see things he shouldn't be able to see. So he clicks on Categories to get a list of those:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM5.png

(6) And then clicks on the LDM hyperlink and gets a list of all files in the LDM category:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM8.png

(7) And now he can search for any file he wants including hidden files:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM6.png

If I switch "off" the can_view_category for that users usergroup, he never gets the download acceptance terms in (3), instead he gets this:

http://uber-goober.com/myPictures/LDM7.png

I have messed around with and tweaked these settings about a million times - what am I missing here?

when i upgrade to 3.7.1 and i also use CPMs 3.0.1. my index page appear like this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function lookup_ldm_forum_protections() in /home/khmerlor/public_html/modules/ldm_new.php on line 13

please help!

You've got inconsistent versions of LDM files installed. That function changed its name between release 2.2.8 and 2.2.9. Just uninstall and reinstall the relevant vba modules.
