Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

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.

I've taken a look at your site - you'll find that I've created a test category and put a couple of entries in it. Everything worked fine for me, once I got past some early problems with VB itself. I found that your board was continuing to give me messages about missing profile fields, even though I had entered them all.

I wonder if you are having problems with caching - messages getting trapped somewhere in the pipeline from your server to the browser.

Let me know if you are still having problems.

Hello,

Im relatively new to VB so go easy with me

I have LDM installed and it works great! I use it so that anybody can download quizzes and registered users can download quiz answers.

99% of the registered users come to my site just to download the answers without interacting with the site.

Would it be possible to configure LDM so that:
Catagory A - Anybody could download (inc unregistered users)
Catagory B - Only Registered Users with N posts can download

Thanks

Yes, this is certainly possible. There is a folder in the release/extras directory called "limit-useraccess". This contains a number of VB "plugins", one of which (limitaccess-byposts-plugin.xml) does precisely what you require. The sample is configured so that, for all users except administrators, if they have less than 10 posts, they are allowed one download a day.

If you feel comfortable ediing/installing plugins, you can adjust this as you like. Otherwise, get back to me and I will gladly help you to install a modified version.

I have to confess that Im not a coder so some help would really be appreciated.

This is what Im trying to achieve:

Catagory A - Anybody could download (inc unregistered users)
Catagory B - Only Registered Users with N posts can download

Thanks

Send me a PM with details of your site and an exact indication of "N" and I will set things up for you during the weekend. I'll need an account with admin privs.

Hi,
How can i move this text to the right (see pic)?

hi Andrew
i have 2 questions:
1 - is it possible to view video files that are setup to be streamed in Wimpy?
2 - does it take too much time to modify LDM to be able to add multiple URLs per entry? (i've seen it on Wishlis, actually i suggested this :d. the problem is that i badly need this, so any info/help would be appriciated)

thanks in advance

about multiple URLs: i think it would be VERY USEFUL to be able mirror base url
for example: Mirror 1 Base URL: http://www.baseurl1.com/folder
Mirror 2 Base URL: http://www.baseurl2.com/folder
in add entry page you would see for each mirror one text field in which you could just enter the folder and filename... mirror 1 : folder_blah/blah_file.zip

this is useful, when you for some reason HAVE TO change your directory structure or the path you saved the files there. then you won't have to edit more than 1000 entries, it's enough to just edit the mirror base url :d

2.2.7 is now the official release.

New code has been uploaded with the Spanish and French translations completed (thanks ObMob and PitchouneN64ngc) and a new Chinese translation (thanks ItsBlack), plus some minor bug fixes:
- a couple of phrases
- the admin/category template
- sorting of the stats on the home page

Good luck!
