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.

<td align="center">
<if condition="$show['guest']">
Hello Hello Hello
</if>
</td>
</tr>

LDM doesn't (currently) set the $show array. You need another test, such as

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] > 1">

for logged in, and

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] <= 1">

for not

Directory synchronisation can be expensive, especially if you allow manual resyncs.

You must either allow php to spend more than 30 seconds running scripts or you must reduce the amount of time that LDM tries to spend on the task.

The first requires editing the server's php.ini configuration file, finding the *max_execution_time* parameter, increasing the value and restarting your web server.

The second requires visiting LDM/admin/settings and checking the sync_maxcpu_allowed and sync_maxcpu_allowed_manual settings, making sure that they are well below 30 seconds.

Actually, you shouldn't need to do/delete anything - it should work everything out for itself. But how many files are there in the directory that it is trying to read?

You can empty and delete entire folders (categories) in LDM by going to LDM/admin/categories, select the categor(y/ies) you want rid of, then select empty or delete

Ouch...

Perhaps the directory structure that you are scanning is simply too complex to process in the cpu time allowed. The problem is how to regain control.

Go to LDM/admin/settings and turn off category_jump_menu and turn off sync_enabled.

Then try to go to admin/categories again.

Is this a production site, or are you still trying to get things set up?

By the way, are you running the latest (2.2.8-post 1) version of LDM or an older version? (Just so that I know which code to look at.)

Is there a way a SQL query, to generate a copy of entries of LDM as a threads of a forum?

hi andrewD, how to delete whole categories? any code to modify?

Cannot delete a category which still contains entries or subcategories.
