Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

27.10.07: Version 2.2.8-post1 uploaded
French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

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'm sorry if I missed a post about this already, but how can I get this to work with VBulletin 3.7.0? All I get is this error:

Unexpected critical failure
Critical Error: Links and Downloads Manager v.2.2.8 requires VBulletin version 3.5/3.6

You need to use version 2.2.9, which you will find here

Phew fixed my problem too :up:

Hi,

is there any solution to integrate the ldm_new module into ajaxtabs (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25189) ?

There are some instructions to build an own tab with vba modules but i did not get it working. Perhaps you can have a look at this andrew.

I have LDM installed and can access the admin side of it but I can't see how to access it from my forums as a normal logged in user. There's no sign that it even exists in the forums. Can someone give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Kevin

It's not done automatically, for good reason.

You have to create a link into LDM and there are several ways to do this. For example, you can edit your navbar template, create a forum link or use the vbadvanced modules.

Take a look at the wiki - http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php/Installing_LDM

If you upgrade to version 2.2.9 (which works with both vb 3.6 and 3.7), the installation also includes two plugins which automatically include LDM and LDM search to the main vb navbar.
