Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

What this is and does

Version 3.0.2-PL1 uploaded 15th March 2010.

LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and controlling user access. It also has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras. It has been developed steadily since the release of vb 3.0 some six years ago, based on extensive feedback from users at vb.org.

I think the 3.0.x releases have been tested enough and are no longer considered beta. However, I still want feedback on features that do not work at all or do not work properly.

Translations in Spanish, French, Chinese, German and Dutch are available as phrase files and are more or less complete.

Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip.

The installer will either create a new LDM database, or recognise that you already have an earlier version installed and update it.

Unlike earlier versions of LDM, this version automatically adds a link to the product on the main vb navbar.

Please do not blindly install on a live forum without being sure that you have tested it adequately. Use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread. You can find extensive discussion of this mod in the VB3.7 mods and VB3.8 mods sections.

Staff Note: Sadly, Andrew D, the developer of the Links and Downloads Manager has passed away after a long period of illness.

Hi, I've been testing the comments facility but the comments won't show up, just the words 'No comment' on every one, with no corresponding posts being made in the relevant forum. Probably something I've missed again.

Hope there are also some vBCMS stuff, thanks

Just noticed that the image that is supposed to be posted with the corresponding forum thread isn't there. Not sure why. The thread is being posted once a download has been added, just with the image missing.

Hi Andrew,
We just upgraded our site to 4.0.1. We have the latest version of the download module.

It works fine with Firefox , however, when we use IE or Chrome, we get a database error. You can view this here.

I'm reading that some gals are having issues with 3.5.7 of Firefox as well.

The database error that is reported to me is:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.1:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT linkid, COUNT(linkid) AS linkhits
FROM local_linksdownloads
WHERE usertime>=1261320788

AND link.linkdate > 763345108
AND link.linkdate <= 1263912788

GROUP BY linkid
ORDER BY linkhits DESC

LIMIT 10;

One further update.. this is not happening to admin. Only members.

Figured it out. Those who can view hidden files don't get the error. Those who can't get the database error. I'm going to take out all the hidden files for now, but can you look into this?

Looking at the set up form.. it seems to be missing the ability to schedule as well.

Hi, just to ask where the stats for each member is to show up in their profiles as I'm not seeing anything.

My... this vB CMS is a mess, in the end I guess I won't make a lot of use of it, and it sabotages vbAdvanced, if you install vbA, then the forum sidebar is disabled aoutomatically, even if the vBCMS is active >.>

Of course, LDM's modules for the new vBA 4 Beta are broken u.u
