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.

One user did reply back.

eTrust - like this one as it is the simplest to use and update - also cost is quite reasonable - this issue is the only one I have encountered in the 2 or 3 years of using

I will see if I can't get the rest of them to respond on what firewall they have as well.

One more thing.. it seems that bbcodes aren't working. I checked and we have "allow bbcodes" turned on.. but all it does is show the code, and not actually implement them.

Funny - I don't seem to be able to turn them off on my test site - they always seem t work even when I tell them not to...

I can see at least one example of a failed bbcode on your site, in http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/loca...s.php?catid=41

I can't get to the bottom of this with admin access to your site, so if you wish, send me a username and pwd.

On the previous matter, I've made the code changes to cope with difficult firewalls, so it should be easy to fix this problem. Let's get to the bottom of your bbcode problem before we make any changes.

Have you got BBCodes enabled on your main VB admincp (VB/Admincp/Options/BBCode Settings)?

I have a question for you, don't know if this is the right place to add it or not, but I am wondering if it is possable to add fields to it. specifically the following....

ok specifically, I am looking to add 1 set of fields to the uploads area, this field would be a row of special version icons / or text that would be included in the file view, or posted so that when they go through a catagory of files, they wil be able to see what version it is for. like EPack 1, EPack2 and so on.

Examp.

[ ] Version 1 [ ] Version 2 [ ] Version 3 [ ] Version 4 [ ] Version 5
[ ] Version 6 [ ] Version 7

Is something like this possable to do, to add.? and it dont have to be searchable, just someting to add a litle extra information to the download itself?

Thanks in Advance, and if I posted this in the wrong place, please dont shoot me

Oh, it would be nice to add something like that... that way i could give my users wallpapers in different sizes... but i guess this is not plausible at the moment... of course, i might be wrong

[WebmasterSimds]

well i know the catagory image mod for VB interacted with LDB perfectly cause when i added that, it went and added the cat images from VB main to the LDB and I changed them to fit my needs there.

Someting, ( as you mentioned) with or for different sizes per say, but mine would be like for diferent versions with either a text message or maybe a small image with a check box next to it those would be for all the files. I would have to make someting on a image to show if the person or persons knowing how to under stand it.

Of just extra fields per say to add to it would even be more helpfull

Is it possible to make it so uploads can be submitted to another domain? I want to have the file server on one domain on a different machine and the web server on another.

This is not possible, for security reasons. PHP can only handle uploads onto its own system.

You never got back to me on the last problem - are things working?

There have been a few other requests for additional user fields. I'll give this some thought, although it will not be until 2.2.7 at the earliest. I want to get 2.2.6 finished - been promising this for a month now...
