Andrew, PM sent...

Hi AndrewD.
Yes, this works, I know. But I like to use a Thumbnail Service to create the image (of the linked Webside). The idea is, that the thumbnail is created automatically if I enter a URL.

Now I understand. This is (I think) easy to do with a plugin. Send me a pm with details of the thumbnail service you want to use and I'll take a look.

installed this hack as per instructions and all loaded up all ok but when i go to update any settings in the admin section of local links the following is displayed:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : forums/ldm_upload
Directory forums/ldm_upload (/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload) doesn't exist and I can't create it

i have the ldm_upload in the correct place but noticed in the full location the file says

httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload

but the address should be

httpdocs/forums/ldm_upload which file do i edit to change this line?

That particular piece of code is using this logic:

-> if you've set the LDM/admin setting 'local_file_root', then it's simply concatenating 'local_file_root_prefix and 'upload_dir', both set on the LDM admin/settings page

-> Alternatively, it's concatenating LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT, 'local_file_root_prefix' and 'upload_dir', where

LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT is either:
-> taken from your php.ini' $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
or
-> set in includes/local_init.php

My guess is that you've set local_file_root_prefix to _ldm on the ldm admin settings page.

thanks for the info makes sense about concatenating will reinstall and try again

Searched this forum but didn't find a solution or hint on an error.
When trying to access ldm I will get this error message:


ldm version: 2.2.6
MySQL: 4.1.10a
PHP: 4.4.3

Changing MySQL or PHP is not possible,
Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

Request.

Andrew, I know you had a reason for this, but i'd love to see it as an option.

I'd like for the synchronization to be able to create threads. I don't add stuff all that often, but if you could specify an account, and then have it create based off that userid, it would be uber-sweet.

No problem, will sort out how to make this an option.

hi,

i am using ldm_new.module, everything is perfect. the only thing is that, i have sub categories and when i specify the main category, it wont list the entries in the subcategories.
i need this for 3 levels subcategories (i.e. main cat-->sub cat 1-->sub cat 2-->entry)

could you please help me do this?

thanks in advance

ADD*: which template should i use to show thumbnails instead of text links. i am currently using links_vbathumbs, but Category Strips are not shown correctly. image attached
