very good
thank you

Hi, it happens in both browsers, unfortunately :(

Marked as installed:up:

How can I rename the navbar link?

Thanks

Search the phrase in the language manager :D

I've tried a number of tests on my system but everything seems to be working fine since I fixed the ie-related bug. I can't make any more progress without admin access to your site. Send me a PM if you want me to do this - am happy to try to sort this out.

How can I add the forumhome or cms sidebar to the Links and Downloads Manager?

The Links and Downloads Manager pages have no sidebar on the right. I'd like to have them.

Thanks

All in due time :)

Thanks.

Is there an "if condition this_script" for the main page only?

I'd like to post a welcome message with suggested downloads on the main page only. I try to edit links_main but it shows it in all categories.

Any way around this?

I used this for the 3.8.5 vb with ldm 2.
Now im on vb 4.0.2 and ldm 3 and this does not work:
Thanks,

How do you make a module for vbadvanced that works with LDM?
I tried to add a php file module (ldm_new.php) but a get an error:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: adv_portal_custom_ldm_new in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3932


What do you think?

Thanks :)

I have not rewritten the LDM vba modules to work with vbulletin 4, and I'm not sure when I will manage to do so. The error you report is related to the (quite fundamental) changes that have been made to vbulletin coding practices between vb3 and 4, so the starting point has to be to understand these changes (and also any changes in vbadvanced). If you want to try to code this yourself, you could try comparing the LDM releases 2.3.0 and 3.0.x.

Try :)

worked thanks

I think it will be very good if we can read the files pdf inline. I don't know if it's possible with an extra. maybe integrate scribd. But the inconviant we must upload the files in this site.

I need a little help hiding the tab so my users can't see it while I'm working on it. I found a post that said the following

"Sure - go to vb/admin/products and plugins/plugin manager and disable the plugin Links and Downloads Manager - Add LDM to main vBulletin menu. That will hide the tab except when you are already inside LDM."

Can someone tell me how to add LDM to the main vBulletin menu? Thank you!

LDM should add itself automatically to the main vbulletin menu.

The LDM wiki (see sig, section Installing LDM) explains how to configure things so that only certain usergroups, etc, see this menu item.

Thanks! I used this a couple years back on a vb3x site..

Thank you Andrew! Awesome mod and support!

Andrew, another issue has cropped up. I removed the tab from the menu as you suggested, but now I can't make any changes to LDM. When I go to my ACP and click on Settings in the Links and Downloads section, I get a screen that shows up and says "Only administrators can access this page". I am both an Administrator and the Super Admin. However, as soon as I make the tab visible again, I'm then able to make changed through ACP. Here's a pic of the screen I'm getting:

Thanks for spotting this. To fix it, edit local_links_admin.php and find the line (about line 673)

and insert the following immediately before it:

This fix will be included in the next release.

That fixed it so that I can run the admin part of LDM within ACP, but I can't add new categories. I'm no programmer, but it appears that when the link (mine is called Business Directory) is gone, so are the submenus that control being able to add new categories. See the two pictures below for examples:

I'd really like to get this working but can't without working on it while my users can view the tab. Anyone know if I can redirect the link so that it just takes them to the forums or something until I'm ready to go live? Thanks.

Unfortunately, this problem is caused by the design of the underlying vbulletin code, not by LDM. I'm sympathetic to your problem, but I can't justify spending a considerable time rewriting their code. Can you not just disable your forums while you do what is necessary (vb/admincp)?

Thanks Andrew. Disabling is out of the question as we are getting just way too much traffic. What about a way to temporarily change the URL for the button itself?

One final question Andrew then I'll stop bugging you. Can you tell me what goes in the box that's shaded in the attached image? Is it just filler? Seems like it takes up quite a bit of space and I wanted to know if I could either put my own text in there or remove it completely? Thank you.

I have a probleme with my style. no probleme with the default style. how can I resolve this problem please ?

thanks

You report that this only happens with Firefox. Attached is a screenshot from my PC viewing your site after performing in a search with no results. I have tried Firefox versions 3.5.9 and 3.6.3. You will see that everything seems ok. Which version of Firefox are you using?

This box is used for two purposes - firstly (within categories but not at the top level) to contain the full category description, and secondly (at all levels) to contain information messages such as allowances, automatic thread announcement, required user actions, etc, all of which depend on what you have configured. If none of these apply, the box should be very narrow. The large size you are observing is caused by a bug which I somehow introduced during the conversion to vb 4. I will attempt to fix it.

I will be adding the facility for sites to add their own text to the box in the next release - several others have asked about this.

If the only feature you are missing when the menu is disabled is "add category" you can get round this by going directly to the following url:

yoursite/forum/local_links.php?action=addcat&catid=NN

Replace NN as follows:

-1 if you want to add to the base category
the category id (e.g. 4) if you want to add a subcategory to category 4

You can always find out the category id by hovering the mouse over the relevant category name link

I use Firefox 3.6.3.

Now, there isn't the problem. I don't know what I have do for I have this problem.

thanks

Is there a way to change the nav tab to say "Links" instead of "Links/Downloads" ?

Use the vb/admincp/languages and phrases/search in phrases

Search for the phrase called ldm_vbmenu_ldm (remember to check the box Phrase Variable Name Only).

Edit the phrase contents as you wish and save

That's it...

Thanks Andrew!

This looks like an excellent product. If someone has developed an fairly extensive "links only to external site" format (no downloads), could you please advise the URL (PM is fine) so that I can see what the layout might look like?

Also, if you use it as a links directory, is it possible to load links directly via mysql or would they need some sort of processing by the product before they are usable?

Thanks. -- Rik

PM sent.

It's quite possible to preload the database via mysql, or equally by an xml file. Obviously you need to get the format/table structure correct.

Thanks for the PM and your reply here. Great! -- Rik

Andrew sense upgrading to VB4.03 the permission system stopped working in LDM.
No longer works the way it was set up in 4.0.2

Anyone else have this problem?

I just upgraded my dev system from 4.02 to 4.03 and I am not seeing any permissions problems. Can you be a little more specific about what isnt working for you?


On a different note, I just noticed after upgrading to 4.03 that in IE8, the LDM navigation menus are not 'on top'. Appears to be fine in Firefox and Chrome....



Bah... I figured it out. Thanks again Microsoft... Compatibility mode strikes again. Made sure IE Compatibility mode didn't invoke for my 'intranet" sites. That resolved the funky layering issue.

I PM Andrew the spec.

Categories in LDM are set to forum-based permissions system
sense upgrading it no longer works, I've gone over it ten times can't get it to work like it did

members who should have access based on forum-based permissions don't have access

after upgrade, Allowances system not work fine
i can set Allowances by Bytes, but when set it by files
say 1 file for Registered Users every day ,when i Press go button to apply my setting
its back unchecked and not work.
then i upgrade to 3.2 pl1 and same problem.
help plz
thx

Hi,
i like this mod, think it?s a very good one, but a little bit to complicate for me. So i uninstalled and now, i?m getting errors like this, when i try to change group-permissions:

I uploaded kill LDM, it said all database-tables were removed, but what about this error?

Hope, somebody can help me,

greetings,
Peter
