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.

How do I add a section to say that if extension = X, then $player = "flvplayer" ?

if (strtolower($type)=="flv") {
$player = "flvplayer";
}

I wasn't aware that updating would lose templates. I thought I'd corrected that, but will check again. Sorry...

I can't recall your question about image resizing - can you remind me?

You know, actually this time i needed to revert templates, there seem to be many corrections and new addons in them.

Now, i made a two icon links_favbit... huh? yeah, two stages, if it's in the favorite, then it shows an icon with a minus, letting the user know he/she can delete it from favorites.

Now, if i click, it returns me to the category... is it possible to make it ajax and avoid that redirection? :tired:

Have never played with ajax, i'd need some help

Here is the template, i removed the highlight, but it can be added with no problem.

Oh and i used my templates misc folder, i had no idea how to call the LDM folder

<if condition="$linkfav and $viewcatid!=-2">
<a href="$ACTION_SCRIPT.php?action=dofavlink&amp;id=$linkid&amp;set=<if condition="$linkfav">-1<else />1</if>&amp;catid=$linkcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber" title="<if condition="$linkfav">$vbphrase[ll_myfav_del]<else />$vbphrase[ll_myfav_add]</if>">
	<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ll_favdel.gif" title="<if condition="$linkfav">$vbphrase[ll_myfav_del]<else />$vbphrase[ll_myfav_add]</if>" alt="<if condition="$linkfav">$vbphrase[ll_myfav_del]<else />$vbphrase[ll_myfav_add]</if>
	" border="0" /></a> 

    <else />
<a href="$ACTION_SCRIPT.php?action=dofavlink&amp;id=$linkid&amp;set=<if condition="$linkfav">-1<else />1</if>&amp;catid=$linkcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber" title="<if condition="$linkfav">$vbphrase[ll_myfav_del]<else />$vbphrase[ll_myfav_add]</if>">
	<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ll_favadd.gif" title="<if condition="$linkfav">$vbphrase[ll_myfav_del]<else />$vbphrase[ll_myfav_add]</if>" alt="<if condition="$linkfav">$vbphrase[ll_myfav_del]<else />$vbphrase[ll_myfav_add]</if>

Well, i start playing with the resize mod in 2.2.6

But somehow i can't make it work as i want... i think there must be a way to do this.

First, i base my category browsing in the links_linkbit_short. Then, by clicking the image i see the details of this in the links_linkbit template.

OK, so i replaced the simple $linkimg in "short" with something like this:

<if condition="$linkimg"><a href="WHAT IN HERE?"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://mysite.com/dll_resize.php?linkid=$linkid&size=200" alt="$linkname" border="0" /></a></if>

So, i get the resizing, but how can i call the url that takes me to the details in "linkbit".

Somehow i know the right URL is in $linkurllink. but this one creates the whole text link, is there a variable that calls the url inside that link? :hurt:

Thanks

Making things work with ajax is not straightforward - it needs a whole accompanying javascript in the background. I'd suggest some practice before playing with this - e.g. take a look at clientscript/ldm_ajax_keysugg.js and see if you can figure out how it works

well i have spent hours trying to find the link to get the jukebox on screen so that it can be used and now this program has crashed my database and my web hosts advise me that they can not repair the db error, so I have lost my complete site.

Could you please explain what you mean by saying that this program has crashed your database. And why do your web hosts not take regular backups?

I'm very happy to help you get LDM installed and working - just send me a PM and we can take it from there.
