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 do something fancier (e.g. autolink a jpg to an avi or create a thumbnail by referring to an external source), then this needs a plugin. Maybe I missed something in your question?

Hi AndrewD.
Yes, this works, I know. But I like to use a Thumbnail Service to create the image (of the linked Webside). The idea is, that the thumbnail is created automatically if I enter a URL.

Now I understand. This is (I think) easy to do with a plugin. Send me a pm with details of the thumbnail service you want to use and I'll take a look.

installed this hack as per instructions and all loaded up all ok but when i go to update any settings in the admin section of local links the following is displayed:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : forums/ldm_upload
Directory forums/ldm_upload (/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload) doesn't exist and I can't create it

i have the ldm_upload in the correct place but noticed in the full location the file says

httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload

but the address should be

httpdocs/forums/ldm_upload which file do i edit to change this line?

That particular piece of code is using this logic:

-> if you've set the LDM/admin setting 'local_file_root', then it's simply concatenating 'local_file_root_prefix and 'upload_dir', both set on the LDM admin/settings page

-> Alternatively, it's concatenating LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT, 'local_file_root_prefix' and 'upload_dir', where

LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT is either:
-> taken from your php.ini' $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
or
-> set in includes/local_init.php

My guess is that you've set local_file_root_prefix to _ldm on the ldm admin settings page.

thanks for the info makes sense about concatenating will reinstall and try again

Request.

Andrew, I know you had a reason for this, but i'd love to see it as an option.

I'd like for the synchronization to be able to create threads. I don't add stuff all that often, but if you could specify an account, and then have it create based off that userid, it would be uber-sweet.

No problem, will sort out how to make this an option.
