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.

This error does not reproduce once you navigate into a category or sub category, any suggestions?
It's a javascript error message, but it does not show up on a clean installation of LDM. There must be some interaction between the different pieces on your site. I will try to debug.

It's on my list to do. LDM had the lightbox extra quite a long time before vbulletin incorporated it. I haven't got round to replacing it with the now-standard vb code.

Awesome, that will be so nice, thanks.

I will try to give you a complete answer to this and your previous question, but it will probably be the weekend before I can do so.

How to do for the idtag are display in every audio without having to edit and validate all of entries please ?
.
I will try to save you some time, Andrew. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. It's a 2 steps process - you do not need to do the 2nd step IF you have not added any media entries after installing the ID3 tags extra plugin.
Step 1: Find LDM - Interpret ID3 tags (ldm_addlink_preinsert) in the Plugin Manager. Click that link and and find variables looking like "$entitytags['title']" and change the word inside the bracket to whatever you want. Make sure that your new word is enclosed with single quotes, like so $entitytags['myTitle']. DO NOT change the words of any other variable, otherwise the plugin code will not work and you'll get errors!
Step 2 (if you added entries after installing the ID3 tags plugin): You must manually edit the local_linksentities table and change the names in the entityname column. Make sure to backup the table first in case you'll do something wrong and need to restore your original table.
Andrew, is there a LDM function I can call from a plugin to determine the filetype of an entry? If so, can you tell me what's the function and in what file? Thanks.

I tend to use the vbulletin function file_extension($filename), which is in functions.php. If you want to check if a filetype is defiend in the attachments table, i.e. a recognised ldm upload/download, then use ldm_known_filetype($type) in includes/local_links_includes.php.
Your info on id3 entities is accurate. I'm irritated at myself for ignoring one of the golden rules of database design - don't drop information about field names into multiple database records. I will sort this out.
In LDM Settings > Jukebox, when setting the musicbox_default_sort_order to hits 30 days, hits 7 days, or hits 24 hours, LDM reports an SQL error:
Note: setting it to "hits overall" works fine though.
Sorry, I wasn't detailed about exactly where the SQL error occurred. After saving the setting (ie: to "Hits 30 days"), go and view a single entry that is played in an embedded player. (ie: local_links.php?action=play....). On that page, instead of listing the Hits, it shows the SQL error:
