Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose link and file manager, which handles user uploads and downloads in a flexible way. A range of media players is integrated into LDM and others are included as plugin extras. LDM is described below in the first post of this thread, which also contains a brief list of the currently-known bugs.

This release of LDM works correctly with all VB versions 3.6.x and recent versions of vbadvanced.

Documentation, screen shots, etc, are provided as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

Thank you to everyone who has tested, given suggestions, helped with the translations, etc.

I just installed 2.2.7, when I tried to upload a file, I got this eeror:

PHP Code:

Upload error - unable to create a user subdirectory on server. Return 


VB : 3.6.4

Was this working with 2.2.6?

The section of code that gives that error is trying to create a subdirectory in the directory you have told LDM to use for uploads (LDM/admin settings).

Depending on the server operating system, if you give an invalid upload directory name or if you specify a directory which does not have write permission (mode 777 on unix systems, I think), you'll have problems.

So - check your settings on ldm/admin/uploads
- check the read/write permissions on the directory you've told it to use

let me know if you still have problems.

I didn't try it with 2.2.6

the folder has 777, and I found created folde with the UserId (name).

I was trying trying to make the upload folder inside VB, so I created folder called (up) and under (Controls on File Uploads ) in the filed (upload_dir) I wrote :

/vb/up

after submitting I got this error:

PHP Code:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : /vb/up
I can't create a subdirectory test file in /vb/up (trying /home/aldeerah/public_html/vb/up/2) - check permissions 


Thanks

Both errors you've reported happen when the LDM code is not allowed to create a file or directory within the upload directory structure. Is the php control setting "upload_dir" set? (see LDM/admin pages down the bottom) - this sometimes prevents uploads from working.

Is there a way to add the rep scales under the user info?
Or would that be impossible to work with it?

The VB reputation system is tied into the threads and posts system - in other words, you give rep points for a particular post. When I last checked this, I couldn't see how to make it work with 'non-posts', e.g. entries in LDM.

I hope anyone else has idea's on this. I think it would greatly enhance LDM even more.

Any timeline on when we can expect to see a new version of this andrew?
