I want the second method. And I have added the document to the LDM database. I already have a post which refers a pre-existing link at http://<download server>.com/Documents/Basis/testdocument.pdf. How do I change that link to http://<my site>.com/forums/local_links.php?action=jump&id=1&catid=3? When I do this, simply opens the file with no options to download and not open, etc. And doing a right-click on the link no longer offers Save as Target...

Great Modification, just wonder if it's possible so that each download link has it's own unique page title? At the moment each link has the same page title at the category it's in.

Any help is appreciated!

thanks

copy the contents of the clientscript directory into your existing forums/clientscript

create a new forum subdirectory getid3 and copy the contents of getid3 into this

install the wimpyplayer-flash via vb/admincp/products and plugins/download and upload

set up mimetype info for swf and flv in vb/admin/attachments/manage attachments

you should be there.

If not, I'll take a look.

For an LDM entry in category id N with linkid M, these are the urls:

yoursite/yourforum/local_link.php?catid=N&linkid=M - takes you into LDM and displays the description of that single entry

yoursite/yourforum/local_link.php?action=play&catid=N&linkid=M - for a jukebox-enabled filetype, takes you straight into the jukebox and starts playing the track

yoursite/yourforum/local_link.php?action=jump&catid=N&id=M - NB id, not linkid - downloads the file, with right click offering the usual open/save as/etc, according to the browser

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question.

Do you mean the title bar at the top of the browser? - maybe you could post a screen shot to show me.

i did all that, however not working.. please check it out.. ill PM you website info with admin access. Thanks

The getid3 directory contains the trial versions of the required wimpy files, specifically wasp.swf, which plays only the first few seconds. Once you've got things working and are satisfied, you simply replace this file with the full version.

Nexus asked for a means to autogenerate web site thumbnails for use within the LDM linkbits. Here are some plugins that give you three ways to do it:

- using ArtViper (http://www.artviper.net/)
- using snap.com (http://www.snap.com/about/spa1B.php)
- using webthumbs (http://bluga.net/webthumb/)

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. ArtViper is free and needs no registration; Snap needs registration but is free; and webthumbs need registration, is free for 250 images a month and is the most configurable. The webthumbs plugin requires php 5.

Installation - choose your plugin, go to the appropriate subdirectory and follow the instructions. (Possibly upload code, then upload the chosen xml plugin). You should only install one of these at a time. The ArtViper and WebThumb plugins autocreate an image within the linkbit; the Snap plugin creates a pop-up window over the link title.

Happy Christmas...
