So basically should I always keep an eye on the cache for the thumbs? or not worry about it seeing i did a reset of it?

Thanks In Advance

If the reset has worked, everything should be ok. If it ever goes wrong again, just repeat the cache reset.

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

Just as long as it's not too strange a site

Thanks very much Andrew, i'll give you a shout next week :) Perhaps i can atleast give you a donation towards continued development :alien:

I have uploaded new versions of the vba modules (see start of thread). The hot and new modules now have an extra parameter - subcategories. If set, the code searches all subcategories (children, grandchildren, etc) or the categories specified.

Bear in mind that you can always specify a comma-separated list of categories if you want to restrict the module to those, e.g. "1,3,5,6".

If you have installed the new module versions of the vba code, the important templates are adv_portal_custom_ldm_new_one and adv_portal_custom_ldm_new.

To get the effect of a row of thumbs instead of the normal text links, you need to edit both of these. For adv_portal_custom_ldm_new_one, use the following:

Code:

<td class="alt1" align="center" <if condition="$links_defaults[cellsize]">width="$links_defaults[cellsize]"</if>>

<if condition="$linkimg">

<a href="$LINKS_SCRIPT.php?catid=$catid&amp;linkid=$linkid" title="$title">

<img src="$RESIZE_SCRIPT.php?linkid=$linkid&amp;size=$links_defaults[link_imagesize]" border="0" alt="$linkname_clean" />

</a>

<else />

<span class="smallfont">$linktypebit<if condition="$linkstatus<=0">$linkname<else />$linkurllink</if></span>

</if>

</if>

</td>

For adv_portal_custom_ldm_new, use this:

Code:

<tr><td><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr>$links</tr></table></td></tr>

thanks you Andrew

is it possible to extract the entries to 2 rows?
for example i have set this module to show 8 Entries. but i want to show 4 entries per row....

BTW. the other modification is exactly what i needed. since i have TOO MANY subcategories (about 550 in each main category), this was the better way to handle that. thanks again

i have also one suggestion :
for people who have more than 500 entries in LDM, and also too many sub categories, it would be useful to have an EDIT button near each entry (for admins or ppl with permission to edit)

Hi Andrew

I would like to use the ArtViper Thumbnail Service.
To create a thumbnail, the url has to be parsed as parameter like this:
http://www.artviper.net/screenshots/screener.php?&url={URL}

Thanks for your help!

Regards, robihot

This is probably a duh! but I did search and could not find the answer. Is there a demo site for LDM? I have the product installed and have tried to get started with it but I am having some kind of synaptic gap black out or something. I can't figure out the logic for linking the files I load into LDM to a post or thread or directory.

The only tiny problem with artviper is that it returns a .bmp format file, which the standard php libraries don't handle.

Will think about this.

For the first. I set up a custom bbcode [link=id], as follows:

Code:

<a href="local_links.php?action=jump&id=577" target="_new">Statute</a>

where you would replace 577 by the linkid of the entry in question (get it by hovering the mouse over the entry)

For the second, you would create an LDM entry which points to http://yoursite/forum/showthread.php?t=threadid, etc

For the third, there's an autocreate_thread extra in the release extras directory.
