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.

How specifically will it help debugging (what does it do)?

It's intended for someone else - can't send attachments by PMs...

The original version of this file manages to overwrite its own error messages, so you get unhelpful warnings when the configuration is wrong.

Can any user on your site? What is the problem? Have you set the upload settings correctly? LDM/admin/settings

Check the LDM/admin/permissions, i.e. *must_rate_play* and *must_rate_download*

I got this PM from a user today:

Hi SSUlibrarian,

Recently My quota got changed from 2 to 10. Thanks a lot for that.

But looks like there is a flaw in the system which will allow for any number of downloads to take place.

Here is a example URL which links to the download system..
http://www.uber-goober.com/forums/lo...id=953&catid=1

I did not want to click each and every file so I though that I will change the value after the ID and download 10 training simulators and when you change the number after the id=anynumber it does download the next file but it allows for unlimited no of downloads.

OK, how do we fix it?

Andrew,

First let me say that LDM is very complex, well written, documented and infinitely useful, thank you for all your time developing this MOD.

I am using vBulletin 3.7.3 Patch Level 1)and LDM 2.3.0 alpha, and seem to have a few minor errors.

On the home category page I am getting an error in (EI 7 32bit (Vista 64)

line 12
Char 1604
Error: unexpected call to method or property access
Code: 0
ULR: http://www.koww.net/forum/local_links.php

This error does not reproduce once you navigate into a category or sub category, any suggestions?

Also, I noticed a lightbox plugin in the extras folder, is it possible and why not just use vBulletin lightbox function that is built into VB for quick display of attached image thumbnails so they look and funtion the same as the ones in the forum and the rest of the site?

Cheers,

_V
