Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

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

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.

It happens after I click "submit" and the ajax form shows up with please wait or something (the text) then the page local_link_actions.php loads with the text "this page is not supposed to be accessed directly".

And that's what happens.

I'm sorry, it's quite hard to debug problems without site access. The text you quote <this page is not supposed to be accessed directly> is not (as far as I can see) used in any part of LDM, and I can't see it the the main VB code either.

As far as I can tell, it's straightforward to patch the change back into 2.2.5. I attach the two vba module files from 2.2.6 (the assignment to show_catname is on line 10 of the two files), and give below the modified version of the links_vbalinks template.

No problem. I did all that and it still did not fix it.
www.versionist.net is the test site
I will be replacing the core engine here if i get it all worked out

Hello Andrew welcome back!!

I upgrade to 2.2.6 and since then every time some one is using the LDM I get a e-mail with the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.1:

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE vb_session
SET lastactivity = 1158718056, location = '', inforum = 0, inthread = 0, incalendar = 0, badlocation = 0
WHERE sessionhash = '';

MySQL Error :

The links work OK but I get the email message every time.

Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know, and sorry for this. Three people have now reported this problem. I think I know what is causing it (an attempt to fix another obscure problem), and will post a fix as soon as possible.

I'll take a look and let you know what I find.

Also, I notice that your test site is trying to wrap the full LDM front page into your vbA home page, which is causing problems with the LDM menus. Other people have gone down that road, and I think have sorted out how to make things work properly. Maybe they can post some advice?

Not sure what you mean by wrapping the ldm front page.
Its a fresh install of 3.6 with vbadvanced. I then just turned on your 4 modules on the home page.

Thanks for your help.

AndrewD - I'll try to find it myself if I don't I'll give you an admin thing.

Also - when is the SEO going to be better? i tried to enable it but it was buggy as hell and didn't work correctly to the settings.

Could you explain what you mean 'buggy as hell' ? This feature has been there for quite some time and there are no other reports of problems. You have set up apache to work correctly with this, I assume?

Hi AndrewD,

Can I ask you about this problem again?

First, great product.

But I have a question and maybe overlooked something. How is it possible to upload an image when you create a new link to an website, e.g. the image is the logo of the linked site?
