Only if there is not a subdirectory contained in the subdirectory. You have to keep going down to the lowest level and delete your way back up. Sort of like UNIX when you don't use the -r option for a rm.

Yes, that's right - coded and ready for release... (I hope...)

Hey, Andrew! Have you coded the capability for LDM to talk to a password protected directory?

It says
=======================================
Unexpected critical failure
Critical Error: Links and Downloads Manager v.2.2.1 requires VBulletin version 3.5
=======================================

What did I do wrong? :confused:

Edit: I have version 3.6.5

Version 2.2.1 is written to work with versions VB 3.5.x, and checks that you are using that version of vbulletin. You will find the version of LDM that works with VB 3.6.x in the VB 3.6 forums - here.

There are some differences in the way the vb guys have coded vb 3.5 and vb 3.6, so LDM had to be updated.

I must say, I love this mod!

But, I'm having a little formatting issue.

My statistics box at the bottom of my main category page is squished off to the right:
http://forums.minnesotamud.com/local_links.php

Any idea why, or how I might be able to center (AND MAKE WIDER) the statistics box?

Nevermind!

I found an empty cell in the same table that was taking up 70%.

All better now!

Thanks. I have a bit of a penchant for broken symmetry ;)

Andrew, remember when we touched on disabling search by user group? Here is another good example of why to do so:

I just want to use LDM as a storage manager that must be called via a specific link tied to a specific post. I don't want my users out there just pulling down random files on their own.

It's on my list for 2.2.8...

Bear with me.

Thank you very much!

Fantastic fantastic mod! Just what I'm looking for!

Couple of queries.

1. Have I understood right that it will handle both pics and documents?
(In the description here it mentions docs but in the wiki screenshots there's a very nice looking gallery disoplay)

2. Can I disable uploading actual videos and just invite links to open and play them?
Does the media player do that?
(so I am OK to upload pics and docs maybe limited music files but not videos, just links to youtube etc for that.)

3. Are you ready to tweak to 3.7beta compatibility?

Hopefully it wouldn't be rough on you. But 3.7beta as previewed on vb.com atm has ONLY individual Albums. There are requests for a shared group Album which are unlikely to be met for quite a while I think not until at least 3.7 stable if then.
So there will be quite a lot of interest in your mod.

Good :)

LDM can handle any time of file or url link. You configure it+VBulletin to let it know what you want. The photo display that you see in the wiki is genuine - although the layout possibilities are not as flexible as in a special-purpose photo album, they are there.

Yes - again, it is entirely flexible. You will need to spend a little time getting the configuration set up so that it does what you want.

Assuming that the base code for 3.7 has not been completely rewritten, I don't expect that it will be very difficult, and I will plan to test compatibility as soon as possible. This has been supported right the way through from vb 3.0 and I'm not planning to stop.

Andrew you are AMAZING
That was mere MINUTES to get a reply
and all clear definite helpful info

I dont mind fiddling to learn it so I can do different stuff.
I only wish I'd found it before!

OK have been browsing the manual eyes out on STALKS! More and more amazing.

Just one query - darn good information - I usually have loads of questions
If a user adds a link to a video on youtube or similar how does it play? - because I think the integrated jukebox only plays downloads on my site.

just a by the way - you're posting in the vb35 thread for LDM - the latest version and discssion is in the vb36 thread

The vb36 release has a set of 'extras', including an addin for a number of the flash video sites such as youtube. The addin translates the youtube url and patches the in-line media player to handle it.

LDM for v3.5.4 , can we use it for any means of video gallery clips?:o

I have not tried the video gallery 'extras' which are provided in the vb 3.6 LDM thread with vb 3.5. Most of the vb 3.6 code does work fine with 3.5 - it was things like user profile integration that changed. But you'll have to test it for yourself.

Well, it seems 3.7 will come soon, many addons will be available, but none like LDM :p

Now... back to business :D

I have a question, i want to add a category where i can add links to some direct downloads, but, i don't want this category to be watched by anyone, only by active and registered members. Is it possible to set this up? Even if i don't have any particular forum with those permissions? :eek:

Thanks Andrew!

Why are you asking in the vb3.5 forum ? :)

I can't see an easy way to do what you want without using the forum-based permission system. Perhaps easiest is to just create another forum and give it the required permissions? LDM checks the 'can view forum' and 'can view others threads' permissions. If you don't want people posting to the forum (or even seeing it) you could make it a subforum of another forum with permissions that make it completely invisible.

ooops, wrong thread. :p

Thanks, I think i'll create a forum and see what happens. :D

can any body help me with this problem ?
http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=56627

i am in a terrible situation. i posted and waited now for long time for the LDM author.
he did not come. so i try tried theadminzone.
pls check

Warning: uksort() [function.uksort]: Array was modified by the user comparison function in /includes/local_links_include.php on line 901

i get the above at the top of screen.

any kind soul to advise and assist? TIA.

This is not an LDM issue. The message you have posted on theadminzone is generated by by reading the php.ini setting that the server provides to it. Take a look at vb/admincp/maintenance/phpinfo. You will find confirmation of what the server believes to be these settings. Please post the values (you will find two in the columns headed local value and master value) for upload_max_filesize.

By the way, the LDM author is more than happy to help, and has done so willingly now for six years, ever since vb 3.0, so please do not suggest otherwise.

This has happened when your web server installed an upgrade to php. There is a straightforward fix, but I need to know exactly which version of LDM you are using.

By the way, I would really prefer not to have to provide support for very old releases of LDM. (Fortunately, I have kept copies of them all.) Is there a good reason you are sticking with vb 3.5?

Am using LDM 2.2.1

Thanks for the help.

Had too many mods, which resulted to sticking to vb3.5 . Never expected that php keeps upgrading and I am a nerd when it comes to IT stuffs.

TIA.

The attached file should fix the problem. It should be uploaded into your form/includes directory. I recommend that you keep a copy of the existing version in that directory in case anything goes wrong.

I have not been able to run a formal test, because I no longer have a site running vb 3.5, but the new code contains the same fix as works with more recent versions of LDM, so I expect everything will be ok. Let me know if not.

thanks, n works well and like a charm.

Its good that you r keeping up well with your mods. :)
