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.

Hi,

is it possible, that when I am uploading data into Links and Downloads Manager in a specific category that automatic a thread is created in a specific forum?

For example:

Links and Downloads Manager:

For students - University Leipzig - Anatomy -> create one file for downloading

-> Then new thread should be created in:

Forum

Students of Germany - University Leipzig -> [New Thread] - New Download available...


Hope that is possible to set up, that would save a lot of time :-)

This is a modification in behaviour in 2.2.8 post 1 - yellow now shows that the setting *can* be changed, not that it *has* been changed.

Thanks Andrew!

Yes, this is available. You use the autothreadcreate options which can be set up on the LDM/admin/settings page on a global basis, or on edit category/control settings on a per category basis

Apologies for missing this. Please bear with me for a couple of days - I'm not at home at present, so can't easily diagnose this problem.

Not a problem
If ya would just let me know when you might know what it is

Andrew, I found add multiple link is very useful, however, I don't see the display order appear. I tried to add 20 link and the link order was messed up and I had to manually edit the individual link again to correct the display order.

Is there anyway to make the display order field show up in add multiple entry? Thank you.

The display order does appear in the add multiple entry form - it's in the top part of the form - the same display order value is applied to all the new entries rather than being set on an entry by entry basis. As far as I can tell it works. Maybe it should be availableto be set for each individual new entry - I tried to make the add multiple form as easy as possible for people to complete?

Just to be clear, can you confirm:

a) LDM works ok without webthumbs, and
b) LDM always fails to work with webthumbs

or is the problem intermittent with webthumbs? or does the problem happen even without webthumbs?

Yes I noticed that it does appear on top of the form, however it's apply to all entries. Like you said, it'd be better to be able to to set each entry individually. Otherwise, I have to set most of them individually anyway.

Hopefully you'll release it in the next version, cheers .
