After installing LDM i got this error on what used to be the portal page..

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_links() in /home/sitename/public_html/forums/modules/ldm_new.php on line 10

Any ideas what would cause that? It all looks ok to me..

[RishiM12]

I've ended up removing a line from that file and the ldm_hot.php

list ($links, $nhits, $q) = get_links($filter, $order, "links_vbalinks");

Not sure what the long term effect will be but it fixes my portal page..

Any ideas?

I have contacted one of Andrew's colleagues about his absence on these forums, and the following is the reply I recieved. Please keep Andrew and his family in your prayers:

I am sorry to come to you with sad news. Andrew is in a clinic after a heavy operation beginning of November. He suffers from a colon cancer and a lever cancer. Unfortunately, the latter cannot be operated. He should stay there until at least mid December. His wife says he has a good spirit. If you want to send a message to be forwarded to him, please do so. Every week I send his wife wishes-mail we receive here for him, and I forward her e-mails.

Kind regards,

Mich?le Le Gu?vel

Damn… I wish the best for him and his health… I don’t know what to say… Andrew is the best programmer/person that I met in the net. In every question come close to us to help us and solve all the problems big and small. These means good character and I hope that is strong too. I hope that he can come back to us healthy.

How do I get my mpeg/avi videos to embed and play on my site? I would rather have them do that than be downloadable. Thanks.

The following is a screenshot of the 'Who's Online' display showing the search-engine crawlers / spiders being shown an error-message even though other guests have permission to view those embedded player pages:

I installed without a problem but when I go to the admin page to configure, I get "web server DocRoot D:\hosting\member\deyth seems to point to a non-existent directory" yet that is exactly correct. That's the path listed in my web host control panel and the same path I see when I ftp in.
