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.

You going to upgrade this for 4.0? I currently use it for map hosting on a Gaming Clan site.

I am in the process of writing the upgrade. It's a lot of work.

Hi Andrew, I have just upgraded from 2.2.7 (which was working perfectly) and now I am getting the following error when I click on any LDM link in the admincp, also the local_links.php link.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cache_styles() (previously declared in /home/*****/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php:2249) in /home/*****/public_html/includes/local_links_include.php on line 1151

I am running 3.6.12

Thanks.

I'm assuming that you are trying to run LDM 2.2.8-post1 with vb 3.6.12.

I set up a clean installation of these two (you are fortunate - I still had the vb36 code but had to create a new test website to try it out ), and the error you report does not occur.

I'm sorry - I am not really able to spend much time on vb36 - my free time is fully occupied with vb40

Can you give me any indication as to what the problem might be? Is there any way I can roll back to LDM 2.2.7?

Unfortunately, I have not got the time to track this down, but I can't find a release of LDM in which line 1151 of local_links_include.php would trigger this message, so you might want to check that you've got all the correct code installed. There is no problem in re-installing version 2.2.7 - just follow the usual process.

Ok, thanks. one last thing please, where can I download v 2.2.7 again?

Thanks Andrew.

Thanks Andrew.

I have looked some more at the code for ldm 2.2.7 and 2.2.8, and think I know the cause of your problem. It is not specifically related to ldm 2.2.8 - rather, I think it is likely to be an interaction between ldm and another hack that you installed at the same time as upgrading to 2.2.8. This problem was fixed in version 2.2.9, but unfortunately that will not work with vb3.6.

I have no idea which version of ldm 2.2.7 you were using, but I doubt that you will correct the problem by downgrading.

If necessary, I can suggest a fix, but it will require making an edit to one of the code files.

Thanks for taking the time to help me Andrew.

Send your suggestion, I can edit the files no problem.
