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.

Does synchronization work with thread creation plugin?

Currently no. There would be a serious risk of running haywire with your board, if (for example) you sync'ed a directory with a few thousand files in it (e.g. my music or photo collections).

Sorry if this question has been asked already but I saw a message after the upgraded to 2.2.6 and although everything seems to be working fine, I wanted to know if this is something I should address:

Warning open_basedir is set to /home/usr/:usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp in your php installation.

Thankyou in advance ~D

If everything is working fine, there's no need to be concerned.

open_basedir is a php setting that restricts whereabouts scripts can look in your server's file system scripts. When correctly set, it's a very useful security aid. If the script tries to move outside the allowed area, it is not allowed to open files.

In your case, the restrictions are as follows:
everything in and under /home/usr/
ditto usr/lib/php
ditto /usr/local/lib/php
ditto /tmp

You need to be careful if you decide to set LDM's settings local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix, or upload_dir or thumbs_dir that you do not move outside these areas.

Great, thankyou so much and thanks again for such a great release! ~D

Is there a way to make it so users must post twice a day to be able to download?

If not ive tried getting that user-post limit plugin thing to work but im a bit of a noob when it comes to setting it up any help.

This should do the trick. It's a modified version of the user-postlimit plugin - if you compare the codes, you can see how this is done. I've set it up by default so that a user requires two or more posts in the last 24 hours; usergroup 6 (admins) excluded. If you fall below that limit, you are allowed one download and one megabyte.
