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.

Simon, I don't spend much time with the style system - we just use the one style on our site, and I haven't changed the LDM code for this for ages. What exactly are you doing? What do you have the LDM admin setting/default_style set to, and have you re-configured it in any categories?

That's it.

Little bug:
$message isnt escaped in ldm_insert_rate() for edited comments which leads to MySQL error for some odd inputs

includes/local_links_actions.php (54):
Find:

PHP Code:

                lcomment = '".$message."', 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

                lcomment = '".$vbulletin->db->escape_string($message)."',

Suggestion:

septare allow_html directive for entry desc and comments in admin settings to avoid HTML Allowed comments when descriptions needs to be

Hello,

I am trying to have a podcast thumbnail for several podcasts. I'm using the same image for all the podcasts but its on the server as several different image files. Is there any way I can link all the images to one of them and not create its own unique filename?

As IrPr says, it was a missing check within the database access. Use the attached file for includes/local_links_actions.php

NB: other - this is for ldm 2.3.0 only - not 2.2.9

does the comment actually contain some text? blank comments are not counted.
