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.

any help is greatly appreciated as i?m now searching for an answer for hours...

I'm not sure I understand? You just want to change the title 'Freebies' that appears in your main navigation menu? This is done by editing the navbar template, as explained in the Wiki.

But I think I'm misunderstanding your question.

could be that you haven't uploaded includes/local_links_admininclude.php correctly

Wimpy button works now in the library bur it doesn't works in vbadvanced.

I took another look at your site. I think you need to edit the clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.js file, as follows:

Find:
var wimpySwf = "clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf";
Change to:
var wimpySwf = "/path/to/forum/clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf";

In your case, this would be:
var wimpySwf = "/forum/clientscript/wimpy/wimpy_button.swf";

This is explained in the 'readme.txt' for the extra (vbadvanced integration), but it's new with this release so I understand why it would be missed.

Le me know if this works for you.

Thanks very mush Andrew. It works now in the portal and in the library.

In the style of LDM, I have choose brief, and I think it will be good if we have a "stairs" for see the sub sub categorie when we put the cat_sub_display at 2.

Now we have that : (Categorie 01-b is a sub-categorie of Categorie 01-a)

Categorie 01

*Categorie 01-a Categorie 01-b

And I think it will be better with :

Categorie 01

*Categorie 01-a

***Categorie 01-b

Thanks so much for the help!
