You are right, this is a bug. I will fix in the upload when possible.

Edited: In the meantime, if you want to fix it yourself, edit local_links.php in your forum directory. Find the following code (around line 675):

and replace with

How can I limit a usergroup to only being able to add one Link to the list?

Also, Where can I change $linkimgjump ? I would like to change the image's link to go to:


Thanks!

p.s. Andrew, I was able to allow images to be displayed on the directory. I just used the File Upload instead of the Image upload. Then I just limited the files available for upload to only image file types. It adds the Thumbnails just as I wanted. Now all I have to do is edit out the file links so members are not trying to download the thumbs. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you very much :)

I edited the file local_links.php as you said and now it works correctly :up:

not currently an option - would require writing some extra code or a plugin

linkimgjump is set up in includes/local_links_include.php, function ldm_get_entrybits. The clean way to modify it as you want is to create a small plugin tied to the ldm_linkbit_create hook.

Ok, sounds good. Thank you.

How can I change the Link Title displayed in links_linkbit ($linkurljump) to be linked to the member's forum profile?

Added: Nevermind, I found it!


Thanks! :)

Hello,

just wanted to try this one, but every time I try to do something, it comes up, that some securitytoken would be wrong or missing...
I am running 3.7.2. pl2

any tips ?

edit:
Also when I try to uninstall it, it just gives me a blank site.
Could you please post an uninstaller, so I can clean it up and reinstall it ?

Why can we not enter percentage values for the 'link_imagemagsize' setting? For example 100% would mean cover full screen of user. Also, why is there only one dimension setting in 'link_imagemagsize', why not both width and height?

For the security token, check that you did not patch any of the templates before vbulletin introduced this mechanism. This could leave you with obsolete forms.

There should be no problem uninstalling via the standard vbulletin/admincp/products section. The uninstaller leaves the database tables intact, but this would not create a blank screen.

Blank screens are often a sign of a php bug somewhere. Have you tried vb/admincp/settings/ turn off gzip compression

I did wonder about allowing percentages for the image size. However, there's a problem - when you use a percentage in html, you are (afaik) refering to a percentage of the container size in which the item sits, not a percentage of screen size. A size of something specified as "100%" would depend on the specifications for other features on the board and would not mean "full page width". It could also vary with choice of template. It seems less confusing to stick with pixel sizes.

Again, I wondered about having both width and height parameters, but this would end up distorting pictures - by using only one value, the code can maintain the aspect ratio of the picture.

Am open to discussion

I can understand the importance of maintaining aspect-ratio, but I found one problem with the LDM imagemagsize setting. This setting sets the size of the image 'along larger dimension', and this becomes problematic if the image has a larger width than height (which is usually the case). This is because having a fixed width means that the height of the image varies according to the original size of the image, and this sometimes results in images having heights too large for the screen. What would be more useful is to have the 'imagemagsize' set the HEIGHT of the image rather than the width, which would then allow the width of the image to vary according to the aspect-ratio of the original picture. This would cause less problems because obviously the screen of the user is wider than the screen's height, so it can allow for more variability in the horizontal direction.
