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

27.10.07: Version 2.2.8-post1 uploaded
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.

Would anyone be willing to help me with setup for my forum http://www.ringerstuff.com/forums

I am new to vbulletin

Here is what I would like to do;
I have a forum called "Show off your mobile bling" that I would like users to be able to upload into a sub forum/category ringtones they made and backgrounds.
the backgrounds i would like to show someway simular to a gallary.
The ringtones, i would like them only to be able to upload (not download) but listen via a flash mp3 player (not wimpy but same as wimpy)
so when you go to the show off your mobil bling/ ringtones/ you will see a list of post and inside those post you will find the single ringtone that they can listen to via flash player.

That GET request is the request to download a document. It gets very cpu intensive, mainly because of the way (I think) you have set up the entries in your database - you're using full urls to point to the documents. The php code needed to access files in this way is expensive to execute - this is covered at length in the on line manual - even if the documents are actually on the same physical computer.

By far the best/cheapest way to handle the documents while making sure that the source is kept private is as follows:

- Use local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix to store documents on the same server but outside the web site directory structure
- Use local file names in the entries, not urls.

This can make 100 - 1000 fold improvement in cpu use.

If it's really searches that are causing the problem, I'll see how to help.

Yes, please, Andrew. I think it would be great if the Search on Links and Downloads could be disabled based on user group.

I have a strange case in my site. I installed the Version 2.2.7 and it worked fine. I made some categories and add a couple of entries and it all was going fine but out of a sudden, my site now always shows (The website is too busy to show the webpage) when I try to add an entry. My server is alright and there's nothing wrong with it. I still can upload files and photos and I've just installed vbarticles and every is going just prefect with the other add-ons.
Now, how can I solve this thing ? It's been 3 days and I still can't add any entry not even 4 or 5 words in an entry.

I wonder... Second similar report. Do you have several hacks installed on your site?

Go to VB/admin/maintenance/phpinfo and take a look at the memory_limit setting.

Possibly, you've only got 8MB memory available to php - which is not enough.

If so, try creating the following plugin, hooked onto ldm_start

ini_set('memory_limit', 12000000);

I checked on my phpinfo and I found nothing that has to do with memory_limit..

I've managed to get my web host to change my setting to 12m and it's now working .. thanks for the quick pointer in the right direction
