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.

With vbdate(), you can't have problems with dates and hours normally

Actually, you can - that's the cause of the problem. vbdate's behaviour depends on which format it's asked to use.

First parameter is the forumid of the forum in which to create the thread.

You're my hero, I've got one last question though; how can I manage to get the already set 'Parent Forum' data into the announce_link_in_forum function - I've been hacking my way around some, but I haven't managed to get it working. Thanks in advance, hopefully the last time

Hi, I wonder if you can upload and test this file - it goes in the includes directory.

Not sure I understand your problem - do you want me to take a look?

Have you set default_forumid on the LDM admin page?

I am very thrilled about the new video features in LDM. How do I change the video entries that I have in my LDM so that they'll be played in LDM, instead of linking to youtube, etc?

Edit: I did install the Flash-Sites plug in BTW. And a few work.

The plugin is coded to require a certain form of url, as explained in the 'readme.txt'. Usually, these are the url's for the main pages in which the flash video plays - the plugin's job is to patch these so that the correct player is constructed. This is the format expected for each of the sites:

- DailyMotion (url's of the form http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/XXXXX )
- Google video (url's of the form http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=NNNNN )
- IFilm (url's of the form http://www.ifilm.com/video/NNNNN )
- MetaCafe (url's of the form http://www.metacafe.com/watch/NNNNN )
- MySpace (url's of the form http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...videoid=NNNNNN )
- PutFile (url's of the form http://media.putfile.com/XXX )
- Sharkle (url's of the form http://www.sharkle.com/video/NNNNNN )
- StreetFire (url's of the form http://videos.streetfire.net/video/X...XXXXXXXXXX.htm )
- ThatVideoSite (url's of the form http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/NNNN )
- Veoh (url's of the form http://www.veoh.com/videos/NNNNNN )
- Vidiac (url's of the form http://www.vidiac.com/.../XXXXXXXX-X...XXXXXXXXXX.htm )
- VSocial (url's of the form http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=NNNNN )
- YouTube (url's of the form http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNNNN )

So to convert your existing links, just rewrite them in the appropriate form
