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.

Andrew, I'm pretty sure LDM have this. Basically I want to create 2 categories: First for sub category and 2nd for alphabetically, but 2nd category is nothing but the same to the 1st. How could I link 2 different files to 1 link?

I'm somehow misunderstanding your question. You want to set up exactly the same entries in two categories, but have them sorted differently? (That's straightforward - you just choose the two categories together when adding the entry, and you change the default sort order for one of the categories using edit category/control settings) Or you want to connect more than one file to each entry?

Hmm... thought there were no new phrases in the last version, but it seems there are some.

Here is updated files for spanish translation.

Good night

Hi, I visited your site and tried to play the Persuaders flash with both IE and Firefox (http://www.televizia.net/vb/local_li...d=467&catid=25). It works fine for me with both browsers. Maybe you could try clearing the cache with IE?

I turn arround the wiki but still can't find out how to use the Media Player.
->I setup in normal way (upload and import xml).
->In Media Player section in Admin , windows media player is enabled, Delivery: checked stream.

->Then I add new Entry, with the url to a wmv file. But when I browse that file, clicking on the entry's name, it only bring me to the download link, not the player !

I think there is an other configuration needed but I still haven't found yet. and I need it to be done quickly as my work needs it!

Thank you for your help, I'd appreciate it!

If you're ok on both of these, I'm happy to take a look at your site to investigate.

Thanks man! It was the first option that was enabled. I have installed the dutch language, but the translation of the phrase is not very good in my opinion, so I thought this option was meant to do something else.

I don't know who's working on the dutch translation, but maybe I will check the full translation (or do it myself completely, because there are a lot of mistakes in it...nevertheless kudos to the person who made the translation available, I know it's a lot of work to do).

Thanks again.

PS: I just realized I have another question. I have set up a categorie for photo's, turned thumbnails on and they're showing up fine. Then I use the magnifier and get to see one of the picture fullsize. When I go back to the thumbnailview (categorie of the pictures), I don't see a thumbnail but the fullsize picture of the image that I just magnified. When I go back to the categorie-view I would expect to only see thumbnails again.

So in short: The pictures I magnified show up fullsize in the categorie-view. The pictures I didn't magnify show up as thumbnails (as they should). But, I want the thumbnail to show up again after magnifying. What could this be?

Have you added the required information on media filetypes to the vbulletin / admin / attachments / filetypes table? See http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...s_in_vBulletin for information
