Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

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.

I get a blank page if I want to inform users of updated downloads. It takes some time, the mails are also send. Using 2.2.8 RC2

Running 2.2.7 and I've just upgraded to vbadvanced 3 RC2 (vBulletin 3.6.8) and if I attempt to display any of the modules I get a blank error screen. I've checked and I've got "Process PHP File Modules Within A Function" set to "no".

Any ideas (I have re-uploaded all the Links modules)?

Had that too, I installed 2.2.8 rc2 and the problem was gone...

Unfortunately, vbAdvanced has been developing alongside LDM, and its coding interfaces have changed. I hope that the 2.2.8 code works correctly with vbA 3RC2 - I think it does but will be testing this thoroughly before making LDM 2.2.8 official.

Thanks - I'll risk upgrading to to 2.2.8, these are two addons I can't do without!

Just upgraded to 2.2.8 RC 2 and it is working fine on my vba 3 RC2 pages.

this is the great addon , i used since it was in 1.7 version

now i updated to 2.2.8 rc2

there is 2 bugs i found :
1.when i click the Media Players in admin. i lose what i choose on it for the encoding choice
-> just click to use encoding choice for all players then save , it will not save your choice in displaying

2. i add mid extension to be played with mediaplayer but it always ask me to dwonload when i visit the mid entries , i need it to be played in the player that included in page like other extensions

i suggest these features if it will be there , the product will be more than perfect :
1. uploading feature that can upload media vedio files and convert them to .flv to be seen by flash player of the site . like youtube service
2.when i have for example themes for mobiles and i have for any file of these themes one jif or jpg so
i need to ask the fcript to search in folder and collect all data entries for the files
and
the description for thes files will be also the omage related for them and this should be done automaticly
for example :file1.zip file2.zip file3.zip with file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg
it will show :file1.zip with description file1.jpg ,ofcourse the image should be in the [img] to be shown and this should be done automaticly

i did it in 1.7 bu with manual edet every time i need to add like this manner

thank u for this product and it is very very professioanl with your support which is amazing

Thanks for the report and comments.

I've confirmed the bug report with the media players admin page. Will fix.

For the midi files, have you remembered to add .mid to the VB attachments table. Without this, LDM will always treat the file as a link, not as a download/media file.

On checking the code, I found that I had already coded this to happen, but there was a slight glitch. The final 2.2.8 will automatically redirect the browser to the entry in the correct category.
