Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

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.

Andrew, I'm back. I can't figure out the rhyme or reason for the "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid" we now even have members getting this error when they try to view a product. Help?

The stats for newest entries are incorrect when displayed in LDM pages. I have old entries showing up whose dates are even past the time limit set in LDM Settings > Statistics Display. However, the VBA module for new entries stats does work correctly. Andrew, can you tell me what file or plugin to edit so that I can use the php code from the ldm_new.module file?

Note: Not sure if this is related, but I used the Flash sites extra plugin and all the old entries that showed up in the new entries stats in LDM pages happen to be entries created by that plugin.

This is a strange bug. The filter links bar does not appear on pages listing a category's entries (ie: /local_links.php?catid=12), but does appear on pages listing a single entry (ie: /local_links.php?catid=12&linkid=20) - that doesn't make sense since you need filtering on listing pages, not on single entries. I made sure that the setting 'category_filter_menu' was enabled for the tested forums.

Note: I'm testing on LDM-2.2.9-post1 with default LDM templates. Please help, I really like the filtering function & links bar.

he released 2.3.0 try it out?

Update on Filter links bug:
I looked at the code for local_links.php and the only line I could find for $linkfilterbit is (near line 785):

if ($links_defaults['category_filter_menu'] and ($nhits or strlen($viewfilter))) {
eval("\$linkfilterbit = \"".fetch_template('links_filter')."\";");
}

I experimented and removing the condition '($nhits or strlen($viewfilter))' enabled the filter links bar to appear. Are the values for $nhits or $viewfilter set incorrectly when viewing a category's entries list?

Note: I'm still testing on LDM-2.2.9-post1 'cause I don't want to complicate my tests with some more new code from 2.3.0-alpha1. I'm trying to track the fixes that you've done, so hopefully I'm not reporting a bug that's already fixed. I found some other minor bugs in LDM-2.2.9-post1, but haven't post them yet - will try to fix myself and report them.

Gladly. Send me a PM with full admin access to your site.

It's $nhits that's the problem. I imagine you've got featured sites enabled and there are none to show in the current category. The code which sets up the featured sites is over-writing the correct value of $nhits.

which version of LDM are you using? the problem of a blank player is caused by a caching bug in adobe flash.
