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.

Andrew, can you add a upgrade paragraph to your wiki?

My apologies - I've just tested this with 2.2.7 and realise that I forgot to update it. The wasp plugin does not currently work with this release. I will post a fix as soon as possible.

I've been meaning to extend the wimpy plugin to do this - it's a matter of writing some javascript - hasn't been a priority so far.

Andrew, this is truly a massive amount of work you are doing on this hack/mod

I am just getting round to using it now, have installed and will be doing the settings

Thanks for all your time on this

Version should be edited in the first post

It says 2.2.6 and not 2.27.

Thanks for the new release Andrew!

AHHH! hallpp!!

I just can't get the lightbox to work. haven't for a few versions. is there a missing file or something different? in fact, I cant' even get the original image to pop-up from the thumbnail (even with no lightbox effect).

I gotz no little magnifying glass appearing even to enlarge even.

what'd I miss?


(ps. just found a bug I think with auto-create thread:
1. if you upload the same image to two different uploads it creates a DOUBLE discussions thread link to both threads

2. also still have bug where doesn't "take" the order number when you add link if you have "for selected category only" selected. you have to go back and edit it to get it to take.)

hey andrew, thanks for the updates. Its been awhile since I've updated and I've changed web servers once again. (long story)

On the old server you helped me and I had manually editted the document root in the local_links_init.php file however this is no longer valid on the new server and so I left that off. However, in trying to administer the settings, I am unable to make the necessary changes. I'm trying to change to a relative local file root and remove the local file root prefix, but when I try to apply the changes I get this error message:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : /forum/files
Directory /forum/files (/Inetpub/vhosts/tribesonline.com/httpdocs/forum/files) doesn't exist and I can't create it

How can I switch back to a relative file root and remove the prefix?

[EasyTarget]

ok, I was able to locate the setting in the database and remove it so that now in the administration it shows local file root is set to no and there is no local file root prefix, however I still get this message even though the directory does exist:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : /forum/files
Directory /forum/files (/forum/files) doesn't exist and I can't create it

Not sure. Have you edited any of the LDM linkbit templates? Do you want me to take a look as admin?

I can't reproduce this one.

Did you give me all that information the first time round I spent quite a while trying to find the bug but it always worked for me. "for selected category only"... Indeed, there's a bug - will fix
