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.

Is it possible to have the latest download display in the forum home page rather than just being black?

(I have created a redirect)

I have certain categrorie who containes only audio and inline JWplayer_active is active.

Several times when we enter in the cétégorie, internet explorer is blocked intin the page is loads.

I think that the probleme isn't my server. I have a good bandwidth. Firefox don't block when I enter in the categorie.

Feature Request : we can choose in all categorie the number of entries are display in the page.

(can you don't forget please ma feature request for the vba modules : we can choose for all modules of vbadvanced the id of categories who works with. It's very important)

Thanks.

I've not seen this, but it sound like (perhaps) problems with javascript. Have you added extra items to the page which load all sorts of javascript?

You already can. Setting *links_per_page* can be set per category, using edit category/control settings.

Thanks.

I just coded this for the tagcloud, new_reviews and newly_reviewed modules. As far as I can see, that's all?

I thought this already worked? See attached, which includes two forum links, one to the LDM base and the other to an LDM category

Thanks for the answer. I think it's a new add-on that I have installed recently because I didn't have this problem before.

for the modules, if you can add please ldm_cats and ldm_random, if this is not a big job for you, it would be great

I'm a little confused - both those modules already accept a category setting

Question: When an auto-announce thread is created in a forum for LDM, the link to the LDM entry inside the post opens up in a new tab/ window. It's probably due to VB's coding, but do you know how I can modify it so it opens up in the same window?

Feature Request: When adding a new entry and selecting auto-announce, can you provide a feature to allow the user to select a prefix for the new thread?

I think you would have to recode the url bbcode event handler.

Alternatively, you could add another bbcode, which does a simplified version of the url bbcode without opening a new window, then patch the LDM phrase to use that rather than url

Noted.
