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 visited your site and registered my username, saw that you're getting blank pages thrown up when launching the jukebox. Is that the problem?

If so, can you upgrade my account (andrewd) to full vb admin.

thanks.

No, I don't want to use it in the vba page. It will be better add a link in the "Show" drop down menu.

I've just noticed that on my 2.2.7 install I can access all the administration options except the Permissions settings. Any idea why this would be ? I must have been able to access it on initial setup so I can't see why I can't access it now ?!?

I can't see anything obvious.

When you say you can't access - what precisely is happening? Do you see the permission link on the admin pages, do you get an error message, etc?

Happy to take a look at your site if necessary.

If I click permissions I get the page loading spinny thing ( Firefox ) but the page does not display. It just times out. The files are all there and have correct permissions. I only need to access it as I've added some new usergroups and need to setup their access rights

Am happy to take a look - I've not had this problem reported before. If you want me to investigate, send me a PM with details of an admin account.

You might also check whether you can get at the per-category permissions pages by going into any category, edit category, permissions tab - it's basically the same code so it is interesting to see if it behaves the same way or not.

I can get the per-category page up fine. I just can't get the global one up.

Try flushing the browser cache or check with IE.

If that fails, go to vb/admincp/vb options/headers and cache/disable gzip, and see if the system is trying to send you an error message.

i have a new question

i've noticed that i can't edit uplaoded files.

if i want to modify the file of an entry (maybe i want to upload a new version) i have to delete the old entry and insert a new one.

this is very boring and frustrating for my users, that can't delete entries, so they ask me to remove the old entries. it's also frustrating because they lose also all rates and comments!

so, is it possible to delete an attachment and upload a new one, without having to delete the entry?

tnx!
