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.

LDM can automatically create and organise downloads to mirror the directory structure on your server, and will keep track of changes in your directories/subdirectories. I think it can probably do exactly what you want.

Wow thanks I will try it out now.

Thanks AndrewD, I'll take a deeper view on this.

I have downloads which requires registrations, and downloads which requires membership in a specific group. I've set protected_link to 2: hyperlink takes user to registration dialogue.

That's very confusing for users: If they register for the first download they will get the file, if they request to download the second with a specific group they are still redirected to register.php saying they have already registered.

What can I do? It would be great if the user is registered when LDM says they need this and this group to access the download.

Can anyone confirm that by installing vB's Project Tools LDM's active menues like editing Categories inside of them (not in administration) are not working?

Another Issue:
Our Modcrew cannot change the "Rename" field (linkfile)

I took a view on the template "links_addnewlink" and read this:

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions'] and ($links_permissions['can_upload_files'] or $links_permissions['can_link_files'])">

Why this field requires "can_set_permissions"?

i have the upload directory set to /uploads
i got a account at BlugaNet WebThumb and entered my api key
it shows when it makes a pic of the site at BlugaNet WebThumb
when on my site i dont get the pic of the site and when you hit sumit on making a new link you get a link /local_links_actions.php in the url bar and the page says Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
it shows the images uploading to my server and i got the upload folder as /uploads
and it uploads these pictures to /uploads/uploads

I have just installed project tools on my test site alongside LDM, and the menus seem ok.
