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.

That's a setting on the LDM admin page - you've probably disabled allow_remote_downloads

Use the LDM category sync feature LDM/admin/settings - > sync section, then LDM/add category/sync

You say, not inside the vb forum - do you mean the files are held outside the web site file space? If so, then you have to modify the LDM file_root and file_root_prefix settings. All explained in the online wiki.

This works!!!

The only three things that I need to adjust, is to include the LDM main page & LDM's search page and prevent my forum tab to be active when the visiting LDM.

This is the code I have used for my forum tab:

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(1 , 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 175, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190))"><a href="index.php" title="Forum" id="mytab" class="tab2">Forum</a><else /><a href="http://www.mysite.com/test/index.php" title="Forum"  id="mytab" class="tab">Forum</a></if>

I want to move the statistic section to the right side, as this site did:
http://www.musicadigitale.net/forum/local_links.php

Can anyone help me? I guess I should edit the link_main template, but I don't know how. If possible, give me the complete code. Thanks a lot.

This should get you started. As you say, its the links_main template. If just added an extra table with two columns when the statistics are to be displayed

A) Go to the ldm/admin/settings, controls on synchronisation. switch it on and switch on sync_populate_categories and sync_populate_entries
B) Go to LDM main page. Create a new category. In the field 'synchronise with', enter the name of the top directory containing files you want to sync. For example, if you've got your downloads stored in http://yoursite/thisdir/thatdir, then enter /thisdir/thatdir in the field
C) that's it

When you now visit the category, it will spend a little time checking and syncing the directory and any subdirectories

Note that it will oly find filetypes that are in the vb attachments table, and you can further restrict these types using the ldm/admin/settings controls

This is the code I have used for my forum tab:

When you are on the LDM main page, $viewcatid will be equal to -1
When you are viewing the results of a search, the variable $this_action will be equal to "show"
When you are inside LDM, $this_action is always set, and I imagine it's not set when you are in a forum

So I suggest you modify your forum tab code to say something like

PHP Code:

if condition="!$this_action and (THIS_SCRIPT=='index'  or in_array(..))">...</if> 


Your LDM search check could be

PHP Code:

if condition="$this_action=='show')">...</if> 


Your LDM main page check could be

PHP Code:

if condition="$this_action=='links') and $viewcatid<0">...</if> 


and so on

I replace the links_main template with the attached code, unfortunately it doesn't work.

With the new template, the width of the main section was extended to 100%, that's OK, I can fix it. But the statistic still stayed under the main section. Just don't know what happened.
