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.

Hi,
When a member make post or rate a download video in LDm i get double autocreate-threads in the forum.

[TrickyD]

I'm hoping someone can let me know if this mod or another on here would fulfill what I want to do within my community.

I want to allow a usergroups to basically have FTP like ability on my forum so that they can upload videos and images and turn around and place those files in their posts just as if they were posting an image from imageshack or photobucket or embedding a video like they can with a youTube custom BB Code.

I'd want the ability to give one usergroup up to 10mb of upload space while restricting others to only 1mb.

Is this that type of mod? (and more obviously)

I just don't want to install and just hope it is what I need.

This will allow you to do what you want, but not quite in the way you describe. LDM has upload capabilities, and the possibility to give members of each usergroups different upload allowances.

LDM organises files into a category/entry structure, which is separate from the VBulletin forums/threads/posts. It is straightforward to add an link between a post and an LDM entry (e.g. using a custom BBcode), or to 'autoannounce' new LDM entries in your forums. However, you cannot directly create an LDM entry from the 'new post' form.

Sounds as if the 'autothreadcreate' plugin has been installed twice. Check your vb/admin/plugins and products/plugin manager - the plugin called "Links and Downloads Manager - Create threads/posts when entries are added/rated" should be listed five times, once each on the hooks:

ldm_start
ldm_addlink_inserted
ldm_sync_link_inserted
ldm_editlink_accept_complete
ldm_ratelink_complete

I've taken a quick look at the 2nd mod - it will not work in its current form with LDM - I will think about this and try to suggest an answer.

It is possible to grab RSS feeds for a link, like a custom field?

Example, create custom field "fotolog" for links

Member enter his fotolog.com nickname

Then the system grabs his last photos:

The link "Fotolog Pubs" Feed from http://www.fotolog.com/pubschile

http://www.fotolog.com/pubschile/feed/main/rss20

Thanks in advance.-
