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.

As reported quite widely, swf upload 2.1 (the version provided with LDM) does not work with flash 10. The site has just posted a new beta which is supposed to work with flash 10, so I'll do some checking.

Wimpy button also seems broken with flash 10.

All of my files are in my server. But I don't understand why it's write in the module vba statistique 0 koctets for the space :



can you help me please

Thanks for the confirmation, Flash player 10 has broken allot of the dated SWF based programs.

You have two problems.

- The French language file contains an old and incorrect phrase - it should say 'Transf?r?' rather than 'Espace disque utilis?' - i.e the vba module is trying to report the number of bytes downloaded, not the number of bytes stored.

- You have also given all usergroups the LDM permission *can_bypass_bandwidth_limits*. This means that the "Hit recording" process treats all accesses as being 0 bytes long (i.e. no bandwidth used). For this reason, your vba module reports "0 bytes" transferred.

I'm now having other problems.

When I try to upload a mp3, after it has finished uploading it goes to "this page cannot be displayed" and doesn't add to the downloads section.

Any reason why this would happen?

This is probably because the upload is taking too long and your system is timing out.

This can happen when the files are large and your site's configuration (php and web server settings) is not adequate to handle the transfer.

Provided you have Adobe Flash version 9 installed (version 10 does not work with it), there's an 'add on' in the extras dircetory of the release - swfuploader - which handles the upload differently with a progress bar. You could give that a try.

Hey,

Thanks for that, installed the add-on and seems to have resolved the issue.

Strange how I wasn't having the problem before and I'm suddenly getting it. Odd.

I seem to have lost a load of the files again.

Whats going on?
