Thanks for all the help so far. I'm almost there but I have a bunch of questions still now that I've got it working. I'm using LDM only for uploading and downloading files. No links and no streaming data (music, videos, etc.). I don't want any mention of links on the site - just uploads and downloads.
- How can I change the string in the Search menu from "Search Links/Downloads" to "Search Downloads"?
- How can I change the "Add Entry" link on the Category page to "Upload a File"?
- How can I change the bold, red "[Value Required]"string on the Add Entry page to non-bold, red "(required)"?
- How can I change the "Name" label on the Add Entry page to "List Name"?
- How can I change the "No file/url specified" error label to "No file specified"?
- How can I remove the "Parent Categories" area on Add Entry page?
- How can I remove the "Parent Forum" area on Add Entry page?
- How can I remove the "Display Order" area on Add Entry page (or is this only displayed to admins)?
- How can I remove the "Hide Entry" area on Add Entry page (or is this only displayed to admins)?
- How can I remove the "If used, leave URL field blank" label on the Add Entry page?
- On the Add Entry page, I don't want the "Submitted By" value to be editable. It should be the userID of the person adding the list. Is this only editable by an admin? If so, then it's no problem.
Now for the slightly bigger issue. I can't figure out where my uploads are being stored. I don't want them stored on the web site where they can be linked to directly so I set local_file_root set to "Yes" (it is displayed as set to "Server" in the Environment box), local_file_root_prefix set to "/LDM" and upload_dir set to "/Downloads". I believe I have LDM configured to create the directory though I can't find the setting now. I've uploaded two files and downloaded them from the site. Yet I can't find the directory that they are being stored in. From my settings I would think there would be a "LDM/Downloads" directory just below the wwwroot directory of my site (I'm on an IIS server and am not sure I'm using the right terminology here). The files must be getting saved somewhere but I can't figure out where.
The directory structure on the server and the location of the webs is thus:
c:\Websites\MySite.com\
The actual web site files are all located in the wwwroot directory on top of that path. So, my forum would be located at:
c:\Websites\MySite.com\wwwroot\forum\
The above structure being the case, I was expecting my uploaded files to be placed in the following directory:
c:\Websites\MySite.com\LDM\Downloads\
Where am I going wrong?
