Yes, it's the number of hits in the last *days_seen_on_portal* days, which you set on the main ldm/settings page - just don't set a value which is larger than *prune_downloadtable*.

is it possible to turn off the rights to upload files (in VBulletin) but turn the rights in the L&DL-Manager on?
I ask, beacause i dont want that files will be uploaded in the board, files shoult be upload in the L&DL-Manager.
And a last question: Is it possible to use 2 xml's (one english and one german for example)?

yes, this is possible - the systems are quite separate.


Yes - you should first (e.g.) install the English one product xml for your default language, then use the vbulletin admincp/language manager/upload the individual language xml from the LDM release zip (development/phrases directory) on top of your German phrases.

It happens with webthumbs
without webthumbs there aint a problem takes ya back to the front of the mod
where on webthumbs it takes ya to the error page of internet explorer but still makes the post

I've written an alternative version of the plugin, which uses Joshua Eichorn's 'Easy' webthumb service. This should be more reliable, although it's not as fast on subsequent page displays because it always retrieves the image from his server rather than keeping a local copy. You might like to try it as an alternative. Please note that it needs two parameters based on your webthumbs account - the api key and the userid.

Can you tell me how to change upload_max_file size in Links and Downloads Manager. I change d php.ini file in my forum's root folder and includes folder, but it seems not work .
Thank all of you :x.

first, you need to find out which php.ini file is actually being used by your web server. you can find this from vb/admincp/maintenance/php info -> configuration file path.

second, after editing php.ini, you have to restart your web server (presumably apache) for the change to take effect.

Thanks, but my site work on shared hosting and i can't change the configuration file path shows in Admincp. Can you give me another way ?

Only if your service provider allows the use of so-called htaccess files on a per-site basis. See, e.g. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_php.ini...s_w/_.htaccess for an explanation

My site works on Dreamhost :)

According to the online description - http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-features.html - Dreamhost uses apache as web server and provides full support for htaccess files, so you should be able to control your php settings, e.g. by referring to the site I mentioned

Hi Andrew,

Forgive me - I don't know a whole lot when it comes to vbadvanced.

I'm trying to add the ldm_new.module but get the following error message on my page:

***Removed error message as it was too long and was interfering with the layout on this page***

Egads, what am I doing wrong?

How did you install the module? - it should be done using the vb/admincp/vba/download upload module

Thanks for the quick reply Andrew.

I was installing the modules wrong :o.

I followed your instructions and added them via admincp/vba/download upload module but something didn't go as planned. The module appears in my list with no name associated with it. I'm not sure I can even delete it. Tried it twice as you can see.

Good morning!

I've got a rather odd problem, and while it's more annoying than anything else, I'd like to clear it up if possible.

I'm new to vB so this may well be based on my own ignorance. I've got a vB 3.6.8.2 board up and running, and I've got LDM 2.2.8 installed and working fine. The issue is that each user, even after signing into vB, has to sign in AGAIN to access any category in LDM (the link to the category LIST seems to work fine). However, once this second sign-in is completed, the cookie(?) appears to be set and stable for that session, and possibly indefinitely.

My users aren't very technically savvy, so if possible I'd like to prevent the necessity for a double sign-in. If there is any specific information about my system you need, please let me know.

Thank you for your help!

I can also be reached directly at my work address, alan.martin (at) mightyautoparts.com

Alan Martin.

I've seen that problem too and mentioned it to the vba people. You can delete it and then it should reinstall correctly. If not - send me a PM with an admin account and I'll gladly take a look.

Alan, send me a PM with site details and an account, ideally one with access to the vb admincp, amnd I'll gladly take a look. It's the first report I've had of this problem.

Thanks Andrew - sent you a PM

You haven't sent one to me - who did you send it to?

** Sorry -- edited - got it by email.

I see that you are still using vbadvanced 2.2. I haven't tested with that version for some time, and it seems I've created a problem - sorry - I'll look into it and see how to fix things.

Should I go ahead and update vbadvanced or will that cause more issues?

Let me sort out the problem before I start giving you new problems !

Sherry, indeed, the vbadvanced module format has changed between version 2 and version 3 and the module files I released are for version 3.

Before you attempt to upgrade (indeed if you decide to do so), we really need to get rid of the junk that's been added to your database during the attempt to install the LDM modules. The easiest way, if you are comfortable with this approach, is to run phpmyadmin, go to your vb database, to the adv_modules table and kill the rows that have a blank title - I think you'll find that you've got three of these. I don't think it's possible to tidy up from within vbadvanced itself, so, if you don't want to use this approach, the alternative is that I write a small vb plugin to do the job. Let me know what you want. Sorry for this.

any news for any new version that has more features that me and others requist ,
i think version 3 will be more and more than perfect

Anyway to get the downloads to show up on a seperate page? Thanks

Hi Andrew,

No need to apologize. I should have specified which version of vbadvanced that I was using. I'll take care of removing these entries from the database and will then upgrade.

THANKS so very much!
Sherry

I hope it will :)

I have so little free time at present. Producing a new release is a major piece of work in order to test all the combinations. So I am trying to keep up with the support but have not done any more development since 2.2.8-post 1 was released.

Can you confirm - you want me to extend the synchronisation features as follows:
- one category will synchronise with a directory and all its subdirectories, rather than creating new subcategories for each subdirectory
- different templates for constructing the entry description

I wasn't sure what you meant by 'special template for category "show"' - do you mean you want the 'show what's new/what's hot/etc' commands to be able to use a different template?

Not sure I understand?

Andrew, I found a minor size problem with the flash-based plug-in. The VEOH video player is bigger than YouTube player, is there anyway to specific the size of player for YouTube and VEOH?

I tried to increased the size in plug-manager to make it suit VEOH but then I increased the size of ALL Youtube files. Any guide to overcome this problem would be great!

yes
i mean the links_linkbit ,so i can choose for category any one i want from the types of links_linkbit

also i hope that you make the ldm in folder other than forum ,so we can use subdomain for it
and option to make the navbar begin with ldm , forum home or url home
also adding great future that enable upload files in any vedio type like :wma,3gp,flv and publish it like youtube ,, there will be required some modules installed in server ofcourse but this will be grat feature to add

thank you for your great support , i suppose to make nominate for the best supporter in vbulletin.org and sure i will nominate u

thanks

The best gallery i've known is 4homeapges, 4image has an incredible way to synch files... of course, i'm not a coder, so i've no ide if that would be useful for you Andrew. :p

Maybe you can take a look at it and see how that works.

http://www.4homepages.de/

You think we can have a plugin to show latest uploads in a box below or above the categories? :D

http://demo.4homepages.de/?l=english

An maybe also a random box!

thanks

wow installed but i dont know how to activate and use enhancements in Extras & development?! for example i would like to use tv channels or gallery ! how to install and manage them ?

thx

I'm not sure why these sites are displaying at different sizes.

Anyway, as you discovered, by default all the flash players are set up to display at the size configured in *flash_sites_plugin.xml*, i.e. at 480x360.

You can change this on a per-player basis by editin the file includes/local_links_flashsites.php.

You'll find a series of declarations, such as the following for Veoh:

Change statements like

replacing $player_height and $player_width as you wish.

You should ignore the development directory unless you are really keen - it contains the raw templates, phrases, etc, used to build the main product installer.

For each of the extras, there is a 'readme.txt' file in the subdirectory, which explains how to install it. In most cases, you do this by uploading the extra's xml file using vbulletin/admincp/products and plugins/download and upload plugin.

Veoh format is 540x438, they allow more resolution and unlimited file size, I guess that's why the different in window player.

I found and fixed it perfectly, thank you so much.

Can someone tell me how to play .flv movies..........i don't feel like reading all the posts....thanks

Install LDM's JWPlayer addon, included in the release/extras directory.

Make sure you've defined mimetype information for flv in the vbulletin attachments table, or use the LDM add-mimetype addon to do this for you.

Okay, i added the jwplayer......but i didn't add the mimetype......I will do that today and see how it goes....

Thanks for the quick reply andrew......

hotwheels

Hi Andrew,

is there a possibility to ban a group from LDM completly?
So the members of this group just see the vbulletin message when trying to enter ldm.php ?

Thanks!

Easiest wasy is with a short plugin, see http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php..._access_to_LDM
