Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

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 just tried a Youtube video, and it works fine for me.

I installed the LDM flash addon, then created an entry pointing to a random video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F5RnaJkIeA

What url are you using?

The autothread and post creation code uses phrases to construct the messages - take a look, e.g., at the ldm_thread_create_body phrase.

Take a look at the LDM/admin/categories page. With the mass edit feature, you can do a great deal.

when I active hotlink protect the counter of allownece doesn't work

I want to use hotlink protect afraid from leech coz force_redirect 1 show the directlinks

how to use hotlink protect with force_redirect 1 and make the counter of allownece works?

Any help appreciated.

The allowances should apply correctly provided the entries have filetypes which are included in the vb attachments table. It doesn't matter if force_redirect is 0 or 1.

( i can do it myself, but i want you to add hooks to LDM originally )

Again my special thanks to you Andrew!
sorry if any misspelling/missgrammaring

OK, will do.

Same link format. Also tried other video site urls, nothing.

The one thing that i am kind of confused about is where to upload the "getid3" folder. You explain in the install as if i'm already supposed to have it but i can't find that folder so i just uploaded it the the root. Is that ok?

Sorry if that is confusing. You upload the getid3 directory so that it becomes a subdirectory of your forum directory. However, that should not matter for youtube - it's only to provide a general player for flash.

I don't know what's going wrong - it sounds as if the entire extra is not functioning. Would you like me to take a look at your site?
