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.

One thing I've noticed about the Tag Cloud .. it only seems to show keywords that anyone can see, it doesn't take into account words that are added into an area that are protected by forum permissions. Any chance this could be changed?

It's weird.

I'm at a loss with this. I set up a board using your Chinese translation, created various new entries to get threads created and tried adding comments.

a) the standard process with 2.2.8 code worked fine
b) when I tried killing the linkthread value, the standard release code did not work, for reasons I understand, but the simplified regular expression worked just fine.

I saw that you've modified the ldm_thread_create_relink message, which is what is generated/tested. In your version, there are extra bbcodes inside the thread bbcode, but even so, the following code:

	elseif ($forumid>0 and preg_match("/\[thread=(\d+)\]/", $row['linkdesc'], $match)) {

picks up the threadid fine.

This isn't how it works, unless I'm missing something. Depending on whether you're weighting by hits or just frequency of use, keywords will only be displayed a) if they are used or b) if they've actually been hit.

Yeah .. but could forum permissions be taken into account?

At the moment, a normal register user could see a tag word in the cloud that when clicked takes him to a blank search page as all the items using that tag word are hidden from him as he doesn't have the permission to see that forum which those items are linked to.

See what I mean?

Andrew; are you planning to add inline moderation to LDM?

It's something to do at some time, but it hadn't been given a very high priority. I'm gradually trying to make things more friendly in these ways, without breaking anything.

Thanks.

I would like to request the option to handle comments with a vbulletin thread. I prefer this above auto thread creation, because auto thread creation means duplication of the discussion.

Hi Andrew,

when i have a link like http://rapidshare.de/afile_name.mp3 the system tries to play the link with the mediaplayer. But this is the rapidshare url. Is there an option to turn the mediaplayer off for external links?
