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.

I've installed it (2.2.7) and set up the relevant directories (I think) and have sucessfully added a navbar link and uploaded a file which as the administrator I can view no problems.

When I try and access the category that it's uploaded to I get this line which gives the http 404 Not Found

If i click on the what's new form the drop down box, no probs and I can view the link and the file.

Now.. If I change user to a registered user who has access to the category again the main section doesn't work and when I click on the what's new and then click on the link i get this link.

What have I done wrong ?

From looking at a post earlier I've turned off the SEO..

Help

Whitey..

The urls are only generated in that format when the LDM 'search engine friendly' option is switched on - normally they take the form local_links.php?action=jump and ?linkid=N, etc. Suggest you check again on the LDM admin settings page - disable search engine friendly.

I'd really appreciate it! I tried adding $playerbit_player to the linkbit template but that didn't work ;/

I'm missing something... when i add a new link to the db, my categories are re-sorted, is there a way to maintain the order?

Thanks

You can edit the catetory, then assign the display order for the category.

Hi Andrew, I hope you can set the default rate option with "none", so that the users must choose a rate option manually when they submitt a rate/comment. For now the default option is "1 star", some users of mine often forget changing the rate option when they make a comment.

PS: It seems there is a bug when I edit the comment/rate. The rate option can not be changed.

Best regards.

Another request, Andrew, can you create a page that displays the newst comments together? Sometimes I just don't know which item has new comment.

Got blank page after run local_links_kill.php and I only can access admincp

Any idea how to fix it?
