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.

Upload error - unable to create a user subdirectory on server

How do I rectify this error?

[solidlink]

Can this be configured to tie a specific file to a user's account? Such that the play is not openly displayed but is held on the server... only when a user needs to show/send the link to another user then it is displayed?

LDM keeps each user's uploads in a separate subdirectory within the *upload_dir* you specified on the LDM admin settings page. It gives you this error if it cannot create the subdirectory. Either you haven't given the parent directory the right permissions (unix mode 777) or there is some other setting which prevents LDM for creating directories. As far as I know, the php settings *open_basedir* and *safe_mode* are the usual culprits, but problems with these would be flagged on the LDM/admin/settings page.

Get back to me if these suggestions don't help.

Take a look at the *hide_entry* setting on the edit entry page. Is this adequate?

Hi Andrew!

Thank you *so much* for this mod! It is so easy to use, even for newbies like me!

One question- can the favorites/featured sites be used with the regular VB, or do I need to have the enhanced version? I would prefer to integrate this feature on my home page, but could do it on my gallery page instead.

thanks!

thanks - glad you found it easy to use.

I'm not sure what you mean by regular/enhanced vbulletin? Are you running vbadvanced? There isn't a vbadvanced module for handling favourites/featured sites, although it would not be hard to add this.

Sorry, I meant vbadvanced. I am not running it- just 3.6.8 patch lvl 2. If that handles the favorites/featured site, could you tell me how to install/manage it (or point me to a thread or where in wiki it is discussed)?

thanks!!

If you can wait a few days until the Christmas break, I will gladly explain/help you get things running.
