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.

If you want to temporarily prevent downloads from the category, use Edit Category/User Group Permissions. You can set permissions which over-ride the master set. Be aware that these will also apply to any subcategories in the category concerned, unless you re-override them there.

Thank you so much for clarifying this Having a "close entire thing" option would be heaven by the way Thank you again for such a wonderful addon to vBulletin. It has been a huge asset to our site.

Great Addon, thank you!

I have two questions.


First the BBCode for Images doesn?t appear if you create a new entry. allow_images is set to "yes". If you write the bbcode .... Any ideas? I have created my own spoiler bbcode in my forum, can it be the reason?


If you create or edit an entry the is a option for:

Notification
Email those users who have already accessed this entry?

I want to disable this completely so nobody can choose it. How can I make it?

[Ophelia]

Stupid question ...

Where/how can I edit the text that appears in the terms of use screen? I tried to search in templates, but it didn't find anything. Would love to fine tune this

Also, is there a way to tell it how often to show this term? We have a daily download, and like to remind folks of the rules

[nighthalk]

Is there a way to turn off the downloads side of this manager?
I only wants the links part.

I have upload space set to unlimited (0) and my understanding is that is just the room on the server.

you need to fix this in your php.ini
if you check the key settings at the bottom of the ldm setting page you will see these settings
post_max_size 20M
upload_max_filesize 21M

it is suggested to make the upload max size a bit bigger

hi
i have two problems with LDM.
1 - when forum is turned OFF LDM doesn't work how it should or i may have forgotten to turn on some options. (entry thumb can't be shown in portal and also thread. it can not find the image somehow....)
if you need some more details or access to my site, please let me know.

2 - Bandwidth Usage is not working for me at all ( per file & per size in Bytes)

feature request for new versions:
1 - adding 2 or more links for each entry (mirror choose)

thanks in advance

Yes, known problem, fixed in the 2.2.6 beta. If you want to get your hands dirty, you need to change definitions of/calls to empty_category() and delete_category() throughout the code. From 2.2.6 these will be named empty_ldm_category, etc.

Sorry for the unintended conflict.

I have a bit of an odd issue. I just moved domains but I kept the same exact file structure. I had all my files linked to /forum/files/filefolder/filename.ext but now when I click on a download it says link not available.

It then provides a link to the file and asks me to accept or modify. Clicking on the link here will get you to the file.

Is there a way I can mass update all the files or something to get it to accept the new domain?

[maroceve]

Ah Stupid me I didn't have the latest version installed..

Thanks Andrew
