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.

This is sad news.

Without seeming insensitive, the Links/Downloads Mod is one we hope to keep on using. Hopefully it will have some form of future? Does anyone know the Mod well enough to take it on in Andrew's name?

I came looking for info. on how to change the name of the Nav Tab, and then saw this.

To change the navtab seach for the phrase and edit it.

LDM is a huge piece of work, Andrew had decades working as a developer, hope there is a group out there willing to take time in a mod like this.

[Alfa1]

Yes, its massive. Either a group of coders or IB should take this on.

[My Dark Tower]

Nice! Is there a way to mass upload files? I have over 7000 games to upload and to manually do each one is gonna take some time

I tried that but with no luck. Could you be more specific?

Hi
Can anyone give me a hint how to mark a link as "featured" ?
I would really need this one, you can define in the admin panel how featured links should look like (template), but i cat find a solution where to set the featured option on single links.

And, can someone tell me how to display LDM with my standard navigation on the left side ?
I am new to vBulletin, so i didnt find a solution for a left side menue where i can link directly to LDM.

Thanks in advance
