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.

Ok, I know it's controlled somewhere between lines 1587 and 1680 in the local_links.php... I just don't know how, or what...

Secondly, and more significantly, if I left click on the link, the save as dialogue box only has the first 2 characters in my file name - and no extension. Example: I have a file name named: CC 10-07-06 720.wmv. When I left click on it in Firefox, the dialogue box only has "CC" in the save as line, with no extension added.

The left click and save target as functions work normally in both Opera and Internet Explorer (6 and 7).

Thank you for any advice in resolving this issue. I hope you are able to replicate this issue.

Yes, there was a change in the HTTP headers sent before the file, to try to get round another problem. I spotted this in 2.2.6 rc1 but hadn't yet made the new rc available.

Edit local_links.php and go down to line 2094, for the sequence that reads:

Code:

	if (HEADER_BEHAVIOUR == "inline") {
//		@header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"".$dfname."\"");
		@header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=".$dfname."");
	} else {
		@header("Content-type: application/x-download");
//		@header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$dfname."\"");
		@header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$dfname."");
	}

You can do one of two things, depending on your preference. Either swap round the comment flags, so that code reads:

Code:

	if (HEADER_BEHAVIOUR == "inline") {
		@header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"".$dfname."\"");
//		@header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=".$dfname."");
	} else {
		@header("Content-type: application/x-download");
		@header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$dfname."\"");
//		@header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$dfname."");
	}

(which takes it back to 2.2.5 behaviour) or replace the lines by the following:

Code:

	if (HEADER_BEHAVIOUR == "inline") {
		@header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=".str_replace(" ", "_", $dfname)."");
	} else {
		@header("Content-type: application/x-download");
		@header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".str_replace(" ", "_", $dfname)."");
	}

which is how I intend to handle this in the final 2.2.6 (space in file names will be translated into underscore characters).

Let me know how this works.

As far as the first problem goes, I can't think straight about this - I've just got off the train from a 5 hour journey and need to sleep...

Andrew, I got the IF statement working inside the links_playbit template by adding some more code to the original WIMPY Player plugin that I changed for the FLV Player. Here is the code that I added to the plugin:

PHP Code:


			
if(stristr($url, 'video.google.com/videoplay?docid=') == TRUE) { 

$player = "google"; 



$google_patterns = array(

    'http://video.google.com/videoplay\?docid=(.*?)&(.*?)',

    'http://video.google.com/videoplay\?docid=(.*?)',

);

$google_rep = array(

    'http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=$1',

    'http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=$1',

);

$url = preg_replace($google_patterns, $google_rep, $url);

}



if(stristr($url, 'youtube.com/watch?v=') == TRUE) { 

$player = "youtube";



$youtube_patterns = array(

    'http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=(.*?)&(.*?)',

    'http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=(.*?)',

    'http://youtube.com/watch\?v=(.*?)&(.*?)',

    'http://youtube.com/watch\?v=(.*?)',

);

$youtube_rep = array(

    'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1',

    'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1',

    'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1',

    'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1',

);

$url = preg_replace($youtube_patterns, $youtube_rep, $url);

}

Now, here is the code I added to the links_playbit:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$player=='youtube'">
<object width="640" height="480" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="$url">
<param name="movie" value="$url" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<em><strong>ERROR:</strong> If you can see this, then <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> is down or you don't have Flash installed.</em>
</object>
</if>

<if condition="$player=='google'">
<object width="640" height="480" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="$url">
<param name="movie" value="$url" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="scale" value="noScale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="salign" value="TL" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" />
<em><strong>ERROR:</strong> If you can see this, then <a href="http://video.google.com/">Google Video</a> is down or you don't have Flash installed.</em>
</object>
</if>

There are 2 prolems I think...

When I add a new url entry to LDM like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4ery9QRfpA, it goes OFF-site and opens a new window rather then opening in the same window with an embeded player, all because it's not a local file.
The jukebox settings require a file type. There is none for this, so I don't know what to do for that either.

Pretty please help me out, I'm SOOO close to embedding these (I think). Aren't you proud of me too, because I wrote my first plugin code?

For your second question, edit includes/local_links_include.php, and go to line 2451 (in 2.2.6 rc), which reads

Code:

if (($user_mac or $user_windows) and get_mimetype($urlType) and in_array($urlType, $musicboxtypes)) $is_musicbox = 1;

Try adding something like:

Code:

if(stristr($linkurlurl, 'video.google.com/videoplay?docid='))  $is_musicbox = 1;

FARMER · #**605** 11-08-2006, 08:57 PM

Andrew you fixed it.

Save link as still doesn't work, but that's a smaller issue. Thanks!

Now, i have a feature request... hope Andrew won't kick me :laugh:

Well, there is a links_favbit, and links_editbit... you think it might be possible, in a future release, to include a links_downloadbit?

This would be a simple download link to be shown, the same as edit ot favorites... well, just that ^^

Thanks for everything!

You mean you'd like to show the green download arrow icon when the user is allowed to download the file? That's easy - I'll include this in the final 2.2.6.

If you mean something else, could you give me more details?

I'll wait till the final 2.2.6... any idea on a date?

This is not due to LDM. It is a well-discussed 'feature' of Firefox (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu...id=299372#c89). Basically, IE/Opera go to the server to find out some header information, whereas Firefox doesn't. The arguments for Firefox's behaviour are straightforward - they want to make downloads start up more quickly.

Maybe Firefox gurus have developed an addin, but I don't think this is something I can solve...
