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.

I'm not sure why, but I cannot get thumbnails to ever create/show. I have them enabled on my forum and enabled in the LDM config panel. I view a list of links, click on them, edit them and still not one thumbnail shows. What am I missing?

Not sure - there are several possible reasons - strangely I had someone else with this problem yesterday.

Things to check

- Have you got the GD graphics library available on your server (go to LDM/admin and take a look at the message about GD2 on the left margin)

- Are the thumbs being displayed as broken images (try IE as Firefox doesn't show them)

- Have you set a non-zero size for thumbs (LDM/admin/settings)

- Do they work non-cached (clear the thumbs directory on LDM/admin/settings, clear any existing thumbs (ldm/admin/statistics)). If so, the problem may be with the cache directory.

If this doesn't help, get back to me and we can investigate further.

hi,
i tried to upgrade to ldm-2.2.9-a3 on my test forum. there where 2 Points:
1 - i saw a red phrase about PHP BASE DIR but it was to fast for me to read the complete line.... is this normal?
2 - i can't vire LDM anymore on user-end. error msg: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72718 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/local_links.php(272) : eval()'d code on line 39
the second one appeared when i installed explorer-view plugin

thanks

LDM gives a warning if open_basedir is set. There's no problem provided you organise things properly. open_basedir is a security restriction on where you can read/write files on your server.

The second point is dealt with by increasing memory_limit in your php.ini.

On your second post, yes I'd noticed that also.

[Rouzbeh1]

still the same problem with another error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/local_links_include.php(2594) : eval()'d code on line 14

isn't 50M really too much for an application?

thanks for the fast answer


ADD: got the point.... i have more than 1500 categories and this kills php it worked hardly with 70M memory_limit!
just wanted to test how it looks like. it's a perfect feature for databases with less categories and looks very nice

The javascript for the explorer view is capable of handling an ajax-like 'expand on demand', which should reduce the memory requirement considerably (assuming that you haven't got a weird category structure). I am thinking about how to make that available. Currentyly, the whole tree is loaded.

Hello,
How are you sir, i hope you are fine.

The other part, visibility/access to given user only, is not currently available (I don't think - this is getting a bit complex), but not hard to add. I will include it in the next release, which should be available (at least in beta form) quite soon, depending on how much food I eat this week.

Is there any news regarding this?
Also: Is there a way to do the same procedure for items in some categories? i mean "User can't see others items, is it possible?

Most of it is done in the 2.2.9 alpha. There's a couple of bits I need to finish off regarding teh synchronisation. The basic feature is the *can_view_category* permission, which is new in 2.2.9. Since users can always see their own entries/categories, by removing this permission you can deny users the right to see anything else. This can be applied on a per-category basis.
