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.

Are you sure you are uploading all the code files into the correct directories?

The error is saying that it can't find local_links_init.php in your includes directory

Yup was only missing that.
Thanks,

Everything appears to have installed correctly on my 3.6 board. When i try to add a category though, i get

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/kayjay39/public_html/forum/forum/local_links.php on line 1717
"

Any ideas?

According to the error message, the php parser thinks that local_links.php is 1717 lines long. It's actually 1992 lines long, so I suspect your file upload died part way through the transfer.

Thanks, that was it :blush:

I think the problem with over-writing the templates only happens when the add-in version number changes. As we are staying with version 2.2.5, you shoul dbe ok. But I'll check, just to be sure.

Thanks for your comments and care Andrew

BTW... i think it's time to make some translations

Hmm... what does that synch feature do? I guess it synchs something

I discovered the problem with templates. When we moved from VB 3.0 to 3.5, templates were handled differently. I'd put some code in to clean out the old templates and forgotten to take it out. As a result, with every subsequent upgrade, people lost their customised templates. Ouch

Yes, time to begin the translations - almost ready to go gold.

The sync feature allows you to set up a category so that it will automatically keep track of the contents of a directory on your web site. Depending on how you set it up, it works recursively, so you can automagically keep everything in LDM in sync with part of your web site.

Great, thanks Andrew

OH, sync not synch... i knew it looked strange

OK, i'll start translating the new phrases

After a week spent trying to get vbjukebox working I am really glad I found this.

Have installed first time 2.2.5 RC on vb 3.6.0 and am so far blowed away by everything. Plan is to use it as a jukebox for now, where members can upload and download songs.

Only thing I can't get working is the pop up jukebox. When you click on the "play me" or song (file) title the pop up jukebox opens and says its ready but when the play button is pushed nothing happens. I have checked on Opera, Firefox, and will check on msn later but so far no go.

Settings are set so members can play and can save. When save is clicked on everything goes okay so I know the fires are okay.

Anything I might have overlooked?

There are two problems that I've experienced. One is that Quicktime hijacks the browser. The second is a buffering problem on an individual PC. I've tried to register on your site to take a look, but am waiting for the confirmation email to complete the process. Happy to explore this with you.
