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.

Anyone want to guide me in the right direct to fix this?

Are you trying to install version 2.2.1 on VB 3.6?

Version 2.2.1 only works with vb 3.5. The version 2.2.7 in this thread works with both vb3.5 and 3.6.

When I try to save anything from the admin settings page I am prompted to download "local_links_admin.php"

Also for my open_basedir is a very long url that I cannot change how would I hide this in the admin settings so I do not have to scroll to the right to edit my settings?

Thank You in advance

The st problem sound like a problem with the configuration of your server or with a caching problem with your browser. Am happy totake a look if you want - send me a PM with details.

For the second question, you need to edit the links_admin_environment template. You'll find where it displays open_basedir.

I got curious and it seems that this only happens with Firefox.
If you have the Jukebox disabled and access a video (wmv) it will either stream download (load in the status progress bar of Firefox) or show a blank page.

Opened IE and it worked fine. So I enabled the Jukebox for everyone so they could view videos.

There are quite a few of us who have problems with wmv plugins into browsers and IE and Firefox work differently. I haven't the detailed technical skills to understand exactly what is going on the depths of ActiveX and non-ActiveX solutions

Not many that do maybe it is something built in that forces it to act this way
Now I am wondering if there is a way to incorporate limited the download rate for users.
Example Administrators get unlimited download rate
Guest get 100kbs with 1 Parallel Downloads
Registered users get 500kbs with 3 Parallel Downloads (Drops down to 166.66kbs if they download three at a time for each download)
Premium or Long Time Members get Unlimited

If this was possible this would be even better.

As I have seen dedicated software but they are really buggy and don't integrate with vbulletin very well.

[EDIT] Also a flv player

Hi,

I'm very new to the whole forum world so please bear with me here...

I'm having trouble with the installation of the mod as I'm not sure where to upload into 'the corresponding forum directories.'

Here's what I did:

- I put the content of the includes and the clientscript folders in the appropriate forum directories.

- I wasn't sure where to put the release/forums/local php files, though, so I put them under the main forum directory. (?)

- I did the same with the release/vba_modules folder.

Not sure where to upload the release/extras folder and the tests folder.

When I tried to install the xml files via vB, I got the following messages:

Warning: Unknown(/home/rawfree/public_html/forum/includes/local_links_init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/plugin.php(1941) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/rawfree/public_html/forum/includes/local_links_init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rawfree/public_html/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1941) : eval()'d code on line 3

Please advice!

Thanks,

Carmella

hello. i currently have my ldm in my public_html/media folder.

i have found out that it is possible for people to find out that the contents are there and download the files when i dont have this option available under the settings

what i want to know is can i move the media folder below the public_html folder and will it still work. would this then stop people being able to download the files andhow would i go about moving it?

many thanks for your time
