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.

Great - well done.
I'll post a video on youtube showing my attempts to code LDM, then we maybe can watch each other watching each other?

Now that's something I'd like to see

[imranbaig]

I installed Cool really cool I have few questions might sound dumb to you:P.
I have installed it now i want to change / rename local_links, how to go about it? Should I just update table names and remove prefix from files and add something what I'm looking for??

Juke box does not play mid files?? I have added Content-type: audio/mid mimetype for it.

While playing in jukes box, is there a button to download the currently playing file??
Thank you great hack.

Yep, I renamed files. need to find solution for other ? Thanks

Hey is there a way to get the new links showing in vbadvanced? With a restriction on how many new links show?

Also with the extras I added the show new links and hot links in forumhome is there a way to limit how many files are shown?

Thanks awesome hack, just seen the youtube addon looks great this hack just keeps getting better and better.

a) Add mid to VB/admincp/attachments table with Content-type:audio/mid
b) Go to LDM/admin/settings/media file settings and add mid to the list of filetypes to be played by your preferred player.

Not in the Jukebox window itself. (I think this would be an easy template change.) The 'save' link is next to the 'play' link in the main display.

In the forum/modules directory, you'll find several vba modules, including one to show 'whats new'. Installation instructions are in the wiki, tke a look at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php/Hacking_LDM. General param controlling number of entries displayed is links_seen_on_portal on ldm/admin/settings
