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.

Hello,

I have added user fields via AdminCP

I also defined user field categories and associated the new user fields with their categories.

Everything worked fine until I uninstalled Links and Directory Management.

Since then:

• User Profile Field Categories are still showing fine in admin CP;
• All user fields are still in userfield table;
• The categorized user fields cannot be viewed via the "User Profile Field Manager" (but can still be accessed normally via admin's user data interface).

How can I get these fields to display again in the User Profile Field Manager?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I've just repeated the steps you described:
- installed LDM on a vb database
- created a new user profile category and field
- added a value
- checked that I could see it in the user profile
- uninstalled LDM
- killed LDM
- went back and checked the user profile field manager
- everything is ok

What version of LDM did you have installed when you removed it?

WOW! That's some great support, thanks.

Version 2.2.9 post 1, and when I re-install it I can see the fields again in adminCP

This problem happens when a site fails to respond to a valid prompt. There is currently no timeout set on the request - it is one of those things I should get round to implementing. You will see that there is a hyperlink that you can click to force the validation to continue with the next link.

The table at the top is used to contain the name of the current category. At the base level, this is considered to be the product itself, i.e. Links and Downloads Manager. After a search, it is the title Search Results. The table then contains the category's full description (which at the base level is empty), and possibly some accompanying information such as the current user's allowances, etc. It is possible to disable display of this table at the base level - it requires a small edit to the links_main template, which I think I have explained earlier in this thread.

The second table lists all the categories which have the current category as their parent.

If you are in a category with entries, there is then another table containing the category's entries.

and so on.

Indeed, someone else pointed this out. The empty line vanishes in 2.3.0, although I think it looks better than a bare header.

Not in the least - and if you submit the translation, I will include it in the standard release.
