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.

can we integrate this with Points systems so we can allow members to buy more memories from the points system if they went over limit.

For those links which link to other sites, I have created a single category to put them in, and I set this category bypass the allowance setting.

OK, then I'll add to the 'to do' list to modify the allowances system so that it still works when force_redirect is set to 1. Can't promise how quickly this will get coded.

I don't get it. If we let the categories act as forums and sub-categories become sub forums, then how come when i Upload something in the Sub-categories , it's not display that new post in the home forume, but it is in the sub-categories. I hope you know what i mean.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. LDM's categories and subcategories are not forums and posts?

I mean like when i upload a file in a subcategories, then why it;s not shows in the forum homepage that there is a new post. but when i post a file at a regular categorie it shows in forum homepage there is a new post. I hope you know what i mean. I want that when we Upload a file in subcategories, it will be show in the forum homepage.

I mean that how we make the entries we just post become a real post in the Forum and show up in the FOrum home as well as add 1 post to the member that post it.

Andrew, I had to come over here and give you a huge KUDO!

I just saw that you added the ability to see individual hits on individual downloads by clicking on that little button!!! And to look at the person who uploaded the download. This is WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful product.
