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.

Hi Andrew Thanks for all your Support.

Question

I have Music that is 2.43M MY PHP.INI file says 2M Max UPLOAD I changed it to 3 but IDM Does not notice it. and I get the over 2M Message.

What to do so I can Upload Music File that are more then 2M.

INFO

LDM (admin settings) 2.2.6
file_icons_dir images/ldm_icons/
local_file_root No
local_file_root_prefix (not set)
File uploads Enabled
upload_dir ldm_upload
thumbs_dir forum/images/ldm_thumbs
PHP (php.ini) 4.4.4
allow_url_fopen Yes
cURL Yes
GD2 Yes
open_basedir (not set)
post_max_size 8M
upload_max_filesize 2M
MySQL (my.ini) 4.1.21-standard-log
wait_timeout 100
Low value for MySQL wait_timeout

Highlighted in red you see the 2M

This is the line of code in my PHP.INI I changed to 3M

PHP Code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
file_uploads    = On                ; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads
;upload_tmp_dir    =                    ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
upload_max_filesize = 3M            ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files 


My Question is that most Music files are more then 2M or should they be uploaded in a zip format but then they will not play in that format.

I wanted to let users upload Music, but Most Music files are like 2.34M

What to do and How could I fix this in IDM

Thanks

I Inclosed a zip of my PHP.INI if needed

LDM is picking up the values reported to it by your web server. If you edit php.ini, you generally have to restart the server before anything will pick up the new values. I imagine that's the problem.

You can also check these settings by going to the main VB/admincp page or VB/admincp/maintenance/phpinfo page which gives you a full summary of the environment settings. ou should see the same values as are being reported by LDM.

Also make sure that the maximum file sizes set in your vb/admin/attachments/attachment manager is sufficient. LDM will not allow general users to upload files bigger than these settings - it allows admins to upload up to the lesser of post_max_size and upload_max_filesize

Oh, so many questions Oo

Hmm... Andrew, will there be new phrases for 2.2.7?
If so, to schedule translation ^^

Hey Andrew just a little question the downlaods manager seems to pick up the file size of zip files fine. But when it comes to .rar files it doesnt show how large the file is.

Is there a setting I have to change to show the file size?

Yes, you have to add rar to the vbulletin attachments table, so that LDM knows that these are 'downloads'.

VB/admincp/attachments/attachments manager/add new extension

extension: rar
mimetype: Content-type: application/rar

as far as I can recall, you need to do one of the following:

- visit them,
- edit them,
- or use the ldm/admin/statistics/validate
