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.

General param controlling number of entries displayed is links_seen_on_portal on ldm/admin/settings




ditto, links_seen_on_portal

I tried the vbadvanced install using the link you gave but the module went off the page and broke the layout. Did I do something wrong?

I think that depends on the length of your name for the link/download .. if it's a really long word/filename then it will break the formatting of your column ..

Hard to know without looking at your site ..

As Slave says, difficult to tell without taking a look at your site.

If you want to see what someone else has achieved with a vba/LDM integration, take a look at www.versionist.com

Six of the vba modules are pointing to LDM. These are all in release/forums/modules and release/extras/versionist

The main template is links_playbit which gets embedded in either links_player_standalone or links_player_embedded.

The layout is defined in the links_scantext template.

What's not fixed?

Wanted to Have a Standalone player, which opens as a popup, and along with links such as send to friend, close, a option to save/download would be nice.

Anything possible - pls can you be a bit more specific?

There are templates like photo_album, modren, etc I liked the one which is photo album but it does not have save option.

The main template is links_playbit which gets embedded in either links_player_standalone or links_player_embedded.

Thanks for info.

The layout is defined in the links_scantext template.

Yes changed that text .

Also Is there a option to have sis files? i.e mobile phone themes? I have this in attachment table as Content-type: application/vnd.symbian.install, and add a screen shot for the themes?
Thanks for the great Addon

You need to add the link to the hack yourself. Normally this would be in the navbar template.
