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.

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.

Thanks for confirming, I kinda suspected that. I think I'll try the alternative bbcode version.

How did you set that up? It didn't work automatically for me so I had to create a redirect. So its not working properly.

Please help

Sorry I said an error. But the module ldm_cats haven't the option 'Comma-separated list of category ids to search.'

thanks

I'm happy to help but you have to give me a bit more information or let me have access to your site. (Send me a PM if you like.) I can't debug the statement 'it's not working properly'. What didn't work automatically? Creating an entry into LDM using a forum redirect is one of the standard ways to get access to LDM. When you do this (unless you have changed the name of the main LDM script), the software automatically patches the forum home listing to include the most recent visible entry. I didn't have to do anything to turn this on.

That's right - but it does accept a single category id, and the module then produces a list of categories in that category id down to the specified depth. Are you saying that you want it to accept multiple category ids and produce separate listings for each of them? Or do you want the listings to be merged somehow?

Take a look:

http://www.radio1-online.com/forum/index.php

The forum is just a redirect to the LDM script. It just won't display the latest upload for some reason.

Yes, I'm sure, but I can't solve problems just like that. Do you want me to take a look? - In which case I need full access to your site.

Is the redirect meant to be going to "local_links.php"?

Also, the mod doesn't work with my style by the look of things.
