Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

27.10.07: Version 2.2.8-post1 uploaded
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.

AndrewD,
1) Thanks, I will look at the filmstrip extra.
2) Yes, if by "flagging" you mean that that entry is shown in the "Last Post" column.

You can achieve (2) as follows:

- VB admincp/plugins and products
- Go to plugin manager
- Delete the plugin called Links and Downloads Manager - Patch forumhome
- Go to download and upload plugins
- Upload the attached file

This will be slightly slower than the standard code, but with a usual sized LDM database (i.e. assuming that you do not have thousands of nested categories) the effect should not be serious.

Edit - I just changed this plugin.

I will include this modification as an extra in the next release - I don't think it's wise to make this the standard behaviour.

Thank you for the fast response, the new plugin works perfectly.
As for the filmstrip extra, I decided to wait for the 2.2.9 release and use it then.

Thanks again for a great product and great support.

AndrewD, the recent entries plugin that updates the latest post from the subcategories on the forumhome page (post #3002 ) works great, one little bug: it shows posted entries that are not yet approved by the moderator. Can it be modified to only show entries that already passed moderation? Thanks!

I assume that you had installed the "2.2.8 patch-category-attack" extra with the 2.2.9 LDM code? This is not necessary - 2.2.9 includes the safeguard within the main code.

Have you also defined mimetype data for rar and zip files in the vb attachment manager?
