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.

I have allowed all the relevant permissions to guests, so I'm not sure what could be causing it.

I have a featur request :

Is it possible if 'inlineJWplayer_active' is active, if we do a clic left, the audio is opening in the jukebox. I woul'd like that beacause I have wimpy and in wimpy there is the time of the audio.

Can you add 'force_saveas' in the option of the categorie or can we choose the extension who works with 'force_saveas'.

thanks very mush

I have found. It's the option "entity_cellwidth"

Is there a way to show the full description of a uploaded File ? I installed this Mod today, so far works great. But a few things I miss.

When i upload a file and i enter the description of this File, lets just say a small manual (nothing endless) and then upload it, the Description only shows one line and then a few dots ...

When I hover above it the browser shows the word "MORE" and when I click it nothing really changes, except that below the Description it just says what Category the file is in.

But all that longer description i added, isn´t shown at all. Is this a bug on my end or is this something known that can be changed somehow ?

Thanks in advance.

can anybody post some screens, or maybe even a link to a site running this?

has anybody tried this on vb 3.8.0

Both of my sites are running LDM, check the downloads on my signature.

@tlwwolfseye The full description might be available if you modify your templates, you'll have to find the variable that triggers this info.

Thx Obmop, will try that. I tried DOWNLOADS II before but I discovered a big CPU problem on my Server when you start the download of a bigger File with that Mod. I installed Links & Downloads which has extensive configuration possiblities which is quite overwhelming but most of all Downloads work much better. It doesnt matter if I click a big File or a small file to download, with this Mod here it starts immediately as it should be. Something I miss though.

When someone uploads something, the ADD ENTRY form doesn´t show any way to add a picture which is normally in any Download Script. Sure, you can add one with putting a link to an image on a public imagehosting but thats not a good way. Is there no way to also upload a Image next to the actual File ?

Thats something i really miss. Btw, you got any ideas in which templates that what I asked about above could be ? I contacted the Mod Author a couple of days ago but didnt get any reply yet. Thats the second Download Mod where the Author is not replying on any question. Is that normal here ?

You can asign a thumbnail directly while uploading, I do that on my downloads to maintain control on my folder structure.

Never tried the sync within LDM

I use something like this:

./downloads/data/00060.zip

./downloads/thumbs/trent/00060.jpg

[tlwwolfseye]

Yeah but when people do upload something, in my site?s case its ment to be Maps for certain games, then it is really necessary that a Image is also with the Upload. And when thats not possible that would be really bad. You can do that with the other Mod i mentioned but then you have other problems. Darn it, there is always something that misses.

So there is no way to upload an individual Image with the upload form ?

Hi Andrew,

Been reading through some of the many posts on here, forgive me if the fix is already posted but i cant seem to see it.

All is fine and working correctly but when our guys are playing things in the juke box at the bottom of the page they see this:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/local_links.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Can you tell me how to fix this?

Cheers.

Had this installed a while now, but a question came up : can batch uploads be done? I did search the wiki as well.
