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 Andrew, I am using 2.2.7 and it has been working perfectly for quite a while now but today when I went to administer link, I got the error

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /local_links_admin.php on line 343

Everything else seems to be working as normal. Do you have any idea why this would have started happening?

Thanks

Clancy

Hi,

I have vbulletin 3.6.7 and Links/Download Manager v2.2.8 installed. I have the whole site running as a https server. I can download files in firefox with no problems but they will not download in Internet Explorer 7.

Any ideas as this is driving me crazy?

Regards,

Ian

It's a combination of reasons - partly sloppy coding by me. I think you must have installed another hack recently which is setting a variable ($forum) that LDM uses.

You can get rid of the warning as far as LDM is concerned by editing local_links_admin.php and adding the line

$forum = array();

immediately before line 343

But it would be worth find out out which hack has added this stray variable in case we're leaving problems for the future.

Not sure - I've just tried this for myself by setting my own site as an https server, and downloads work fine with both IE and firefox.

Any further information you can offer? Have you tested what happens if you make the site available as http and access that way, i.e. is this a problem with https or with IE?

Hi,

If i copy the url out and make it a http://...... line it works fine. The rest of the site works fine under http and https, it is just the links and download manager that has the problem.

Try the following:

Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/

Scroll down to Security

Set the option 'Do not save encrypted files to disk'

That worked for me.

Try a Google search for "cannot download file could not be written cache" - this seems a widespread problem when downloading pdf files.

We would like to be able to accommodate Over the air downloads via mobileof jad and jar files. Both files would need to be uploaded and one be able to call the other when accessed for download. possible?
