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.

Thanks, It now displays the song information (genre, year, etc.) but not the artist image. My jukebox images on the right and left now are also broken. (just x's) I edited the link and noticed it auto-created the image file using a .mp3 extension instead of jpg:

Optional, auto-created where possible from url/upload:
/forum/uploads/1/154511550761121237.mp3

How do I fix this?

Awesome mod. I can't wait until most of the bugs are found and a Gold version is released for v3.6.0.

The image link is correct, as the getid3 code reads the artist image from inside the mp3 file. But someone else had pointed out that there can be problems if there is no cover art inside the mp3. I'll take another look.

Man, most of the bugs are found (bleary eyes, tired, etc, etc) - but these blessed creatures have a nasty habit of producing new children bugs - can never seem to exterminate them all.......

Did the older version work ok for accessing the LDM admin?

Have you made any changes on your board to usergroups? Code assume usergroup 6 for admins.

I set a category to moderated.
A user uploaded a file and as admin I got a notification email.
I visited the link and clicked on MODERATE.

If I click on EDIT or DELETE I get the following error:

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /path/forum/includes/local_links_misc.php on line 1073 


Can you check this AndrewD?

Yes, in my Life-Board ( i Use 2.1.0 there...) I can access the Settings. I did a complete Copy and then updated the Forum and some Hacks including this on. Deactivation of most other Hacks didn't change anything.
