What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and control user access. It has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras.

Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

Hi,
is it possible to have one uploaded file be accessible to everyone? I guess what 'm asking is, can you set one upload to override the default settings?

I have 1 file that I want guests and registered users both to be able to see and download.

I have this installed and am having problems with uploads. We have the max file size set to 30meg (in both vbulletin and in php.ini). I have been able to successfully upload 4 meg files, but the larger ones don't upload. I'm not getting any error at all. All it does is take the uploader back to the categories screen and the file is not there.

Help? I'm using 2.2.9 post 3, vb 1.3.7

Thanks!
Tracy

LDM has two different permissions systems available - its own, which is category based, and a forum-based mechanism. The first is easier to apply, but the second is more flexible, because it can be applied right down to individual entries.

Do you want to place the special upload in the same category as other entries, or not? If you are happy to have the open entry in its own category, then it's easy - you just give that category different access permissions (ldm/edit category/user group permissions).

Otherwise, you need to use the forums-based permissions system.

These are explained in the wiki - get back to me if it's not clear.

Possibly, the script is timing out before the upload completes. Are you using the standard file upload, or have you tried installing the swfupload 'extra', which gives you a progress bar?

If this is a preview of an entry, then why is the description of a category displayed here?
The logic is that you are looking at an entry within its category. In the standard links_main template (which I think you've modified), it makes sense to show the extended description within the category title box.

You can always hide the extended description by including a text on $viewcatid in the template. In the standard links_main template, you have this sequence:
Code:
<if condition="$viewcattext or $viewcatextra">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
	$viewcattext
	<div class="smallfont alt1" style="float:$stylevar[right]" align="$stylevar[right]">$viewcatextra</div>
	</td>
</tr>
</if>
which you could change to

Code:
<if condition="($viewcattext or $viewcatextra) and !$viewlinkid">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
	$viewcattext
	<div class="smallfont alt1" style="float:$stylevar[right]" align="$stylevar[right]">$viewcatextra</div>
	</td>
</tr>
</if>

That is what it looks like. Our information panel on the left says 60 seconds. Do you know how to change that setting? Is it done in the program or is that something in mysql?

I'm using the standard file upload. I'm not familiar with swfupload - do you think it will help? How do I find it?

Thanks again!
Tracy

Thanks for the response. I read the wiki and understand how both work, but from what I'm reading in the Wiki, I don't understand how to actually give individual permissions to one entry.

The default permission for the category is to deny access to unregistered users, but I want unregistered users to be able to download one entry within that category, and not sure how to go about doing that (without giving unregistered users access to everything in that

Do I have to create a special usergroup that has read permissions for guests, but then I'm not sure how I would apply the permissions to that one specific entry (and not the entire category).

I think the easiest thing would be to create a category specifically for the file and unregistered users. If you want the file in a specific category, you can upload it twice.

This will work with any alphabetical alternative to www.youtube

Please note that a number of the video sites originally coded in that 'extra' may not work any longer - I don't have time to keep checking them an dthe sites do tend to change the formats of their urls.
Works great, thank you
