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.

    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="width:100%;" >
    <tr>
        <td><div style="width:100%;">
        $messagearea
        </div></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </div>
</div>

This works correctly for me with both Firefox and Internet Explorer, with both pixel and percentage values for the formwidth_usercp style setting in VB, provided this value is larger than about 400 pixels. (Smaller values than about 400 seem to be ignored.) Note that "100%" appears twice.

If you are wanting to 'hard code' the width, you need to replace $stylevar[formwidth_usercp];

I just changed the (style="width:100%;") to (width="640") in the $stylevar statement and it's working fine. I don't know if this has something to do with the fact I'm using a Mac and Firefox or not but certainly the way it's working for you, it's not for me. But it's working and that's all that matters.

ok, noted - I'll see if there's someway to code this that works consistently

sorry, I mean i cant wait to move my file modifications into new hooks
ldm_mainsql_complete was really needed there to JOIN main query instead of new queries.

Once again, my big appreciation of your awesome work and hourly support!

Most changes happened between 2.2.7-RC2 and the alpha 2.2.8. There were (I think) no changes in templates since 2.2.8-RC2.

Some of the change were minor but some were quite significant. Unfortunately, I don't have time to check though in detail.
